Houndstooth Mani

I did this mani using a bundle monster Faux-Nad plate. For the silver base, I used Orly Dazzle and for the stamping, I used Konad special polish in black. It got a little smudged but I like how it looks overall.

Sally Hansen the Real Teal and Silver Crackle

Here is a swatch of Sally Hansen the Real Teal. I really liked the silver tips I did earlier in the week so I decided to do it again with a Sally Hansen Silver Crackle. This time, I used Orly Dazzle to do the french tips.

Random.Org Mani!

I really liked my "random" manicure from earlier this week, so I decided to let fate pick my colors again. For fun, I've included a picture of my polish shelf. Keep in mind that I rearrange it all the time so today's number s;lot might not have  the same polish tomorrow!

Random.org picked number 91: Sally Hansen Pink Boa and number and number 58: Julep Fina. Neither of these are good for stamping, so I thought a scotch tape mani was in order. I think I could have planned the angles better, but overall, I like the effect.

Random Mani!

I was feeling uninspired by my polish so I thought I would use random.org to randomly generate a decision for me. I told it to pick a number between 1 and 106 (which is my total number of polishes) and it came up with the numbers corresponding to Julep Mischa and Circus by Andrea's Choice Somersault. I was curious to see how the Somersault would stamp, so I used Mischa as by main color and selected some flowers to stamp. I think the result is quite nice and reminds me of Hawaii! Thank you, random.org! Perhaps I should do all my mani's this way...

Circus by Andrea's Choice Somersault Mani

I received Somersault in the July 2012 MyGlam Bag. Check out the entire post here. It is not a color I would normally have selected for myself and in fact, is only the second yellow I have in my house. The first is from an L.A. Colors haul that I have yet to post about. :)

I didn't really like the yellow alone on my skin tone, so I did a half and half with Orly Royal Navy. I liked the effect until people wouldn't stop asking me if I was a University of Michigan fan! LOL! I didn't even know that yellow and blue were their colors! :)

Nail of the Day!

Here's the mani for today: It started with Orly Luxe and then some Faux-Nad polka dots with Sally Hansen Bubblegum Pink. I've come to discover that most nail polishes can be used for stamping, you just have to figure out which combos they'll show up on.

Hope you like it!

Nail Spam!

 First, a swatch of Julep Maya, which I received in my St. Patrick's Day Mystery Box!


Then, I got bored and wanted to check out China Glaze Hunger Games Collection Harvest Moon.




Then, I got bored with that! So, I took it off and put on Zoya Kiki which I'm freaking IN LOVE with!




I couldn't bear to think about taking of this precious pink baby, so I dazzled it up with some Orly Royal Navy Tips.



And I did this all in one day! I was pretty bored! Hahahaha.

Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day!

Nail of the Day

I had a quick trip to Sally Beauty and picked up some great colors! I always have a hard time picking colors out... Which is why it love Julep... But I think I faired pretty well on my own! This is some Konad stamping done with Orly Royal Navy and Orly Dazzle.

Royal Navy has some pretty shimmer to it that refused to pick up in these pictures!

I used Konad zebra stripes.
