Mango Flowers

Happy hump day everyone!  It's always so nice to know that I'm half way done the work week. I'm actually at home though.  Sick again!!!!

I did this a couple nights ago. No nails for me yesterday or today. I usually kind of like the smell of nail polish which is super weird. Right now it just makes me what to up chuck :oP

For this look I used two coats of Revlon's 'Mad about Mango' over the entire nail.  The black stripes are made with my trusty striping tape. I then used a dotter to create the flowers and dots.

I had a fun time messing around with this one.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nails

Good morning all!  So we’ve moved in to our new place but it’s been a crazy past two days.  My nails are in pretty rough shape.  Moving boxes and furniture does not help them out at all.  I thought I would post two different nails styles I tried out on the weekend.   Both of them are purely with Sally Hansen’s Xtreme Wear nail polish. I really like this polish when it comes to nail art.  All of them were purchased at Well.ca



The first one I did is a little crazy. I’m really trying to figure out the whole flower thing but it’s not working out to well for me :o( Once again I used the dotter for these.  I applied two coats of 'Blue Me Away'to the entire nail.  Then I added the pedals in 'Mellow yellow'  .They did not look to impressive so I added another small dot inside with 'Red Carpet' followed my another of 'Mellow Yellow'.  I can’t for the life of me remember what I used as the centre of the flower but it was Sally Hansen.  It needed a little more jazz so I added the dots in ‘White On’.  I now realize I should not of but I added a sparkle coat of 'Disco Ball'.  I’ve attempted using this polish a couple times and I hate it.  Makes my nails look cakey and almost like there is sugar on them.  I don’t see any sparkle on it at all.  I’m contemplating just throwing it out.
What do you guys think of the nails? A little crazy but it was good practice




For the next manicure I decided to go dotter crazy.

For the full nail I used 'Coral Reef'.  The large blue dots are in 'Blue Me Away' and the small yellow are 'Mellow Yellow' 


I hope  to sit down and play with my nails tonight but we still have soooo much unpacking to do.  Wish me luck!

Flowers and Microbeads....awwwww...

I had a little fun last night!  I slapped on a couple coats of Quo’s ‘The Blue Box’…..then I proceeded to look at my nails for 20 minutes or so.  :os  This is what popped into my head.   I had fun with this one. I was contemplating doing all my nails but figured it would be too much. 

I made the flowers with Sally Hansen’s Xtreme Wear in ‘The Real Teal’. I then added a top coat to all nails and let it dry.  To add the micro beads I just put a drop of top coat in the middle of the flower and sprinkled them on. Fun stuff! You like????
