Challenge Day 9 - Rainbow

Back to the 31 Day challenge. Day 9 is Rainbow, I was just going to reshow you my mani I did a couple months back which was Rainbow tips but that would be cheating so I decided to recreate a mani I saw from someone else but I honestly can't remember who I saw it from. For each nail I just painted a horizontal line of each color, no taping because I knew already I was going to paint over with black. I used Color Club Cadillac Red, Sinful Colors Cloud 9, Sinful Colors Pull Over, Bonita Green, and Sinful Colors Endless Blue. I then taped each nail differently using striping tape and painted over with my favorite black Sinful Colors Black on Black and voila my Rainbow Mani!

Have you ever tried a Rainbow mani? Thanks for stopping by!

Cinco de Mayo

Yesterday I said I would post my Cinco de Mayo so here it is folks. I just painted the colors of the Mexico flag, I would have put the eagle on but I am a horrible artist so I was frantically searching for an eagle image on one of my image plates and sadly found nothing, so instead of drawing a eagle free hand I just wrote out Mexico on my ring finger. I hope everyone had a Happy Cinco de Mayo, I had a good time watching the Mayweather VS Cotto fight.

Since it is Sunday Stamping I will post my mani later on today.



Challenge Day 4 - Green

The last two nights I wasn't feeling up to painting my nails, so I didn't. Have any of you ever watched Lost? I know a couple of nail bloggers did a lostathon, well I started watching it and it has taken over my life. Allan and I are now on season 3 and it seems like they are finally getting to know the "others". Anyways while I was watching I created my green mani so honestly it isn't the best mani and I blame it on Lost and partially Allan he kept saying to me one more episode until it was midnight and by that time we had to wake up in 5 hours.
Ok on to the challenge, for the base I used 2 coats of Wet n Wild I Need A Refresh-Mint, then used a dotting tool and added dots of China Glaze White on White and on top of those white dots added dots of Zoya Ivanka.

Not my best but hey I have been consumed by Lost.

OPI Skull & Glossbones

I wanted to try out a new mani I saw on Caitlin's Creative Corner, she called it a Brush Stroke Mani, I fell in love with her Neon Mani which you could see here so I set out to try it on my own. Unfortunately mine did not turn out fabulous like hers. My mani just turned out uhhhhh what do you call it, NOT good at all. Haha, I hope to revisit this again in the furture and get the hang of it. So here is what I used.
2 coats of OPI Skull & Glossbones for my base, Icing Neon Red, Icing Neon Green, Icing Neon Yellow, Icing Neon Pink (I couldn't find actual names on the Icing bottles so that about all you will get)

If you would like to see a tutorial for this mani Caitlin has created a tutorial here is the link: http://caitlinscreativecorner.blogspot.com/2012/04/tutorial-brushstroke-mani.html

Bonita Green

Good morning and I hope you all enjoyed your weekend, I sure did. The barbeque turned out really good. My parents and brother and his family came over and ate. Normally if we have a family get together it's at my parents house or my brothers house, I usually don't have them over to my place since I live in a apartment and don't have much seating, but we made due.

So I've decided that I really want to try and swatch each and every polish I own, so I might be doing 2 posts a day depending how I feel. I still will continue to do some nail art but I really want to focus on swatching each polish. So here is a brand I picked up from Ross called Bonita, none of the polishes have names so I've just been calling them by their basic color, so here is Bonita Green. This is 2 coats, although I think one more would have done it justice. The formula for me was a little difficult to work with. I added 1 coat of SV.

Rainbow

I wanted to create a rainbow but just didn't have the correct colors. Well here was my attempt.

I then taped off my nails and added tips.

And just because I couldn't leave well enough alone, I used the dotting tool and added a dot of each color. (I really shouldn't have)

I wish I had a pot of gold stamp to show the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

These are all the colors I used: Black - Sinful Colors Black on Black, Red - Color Club Red, Lilac - Sally Hansen Lively Lilac, Purple - Grape Going!, Yellow -Mellow Yellow, Green - Bonita Green, Blue - Sally Hansen Blue Me Away!, Orange - Sun Kissed, Top Coat - Seche Vite

Mood Swing Passionate/Shy

This is the second color I got at Icing. It was a little brighter than I thought it would be.
Light green = Passionate, Dark green = Shy


I ran my pointer and ring fingers under cold water and my middle and pinky fingers under hot water.
