Bonita Red

My goal is to eventually swatch each one of my nail polishes at least one time, it's hard with all of the challenges and groups I'm involved with, so here and there I throw in some swatches in my blog. At this point I just want to finish swatching the Bonita collection I had bought a long time ago from Ross and I was just going to swatch all at once and just write one post about all of them but it became time consuming and as a full time employee, full time mommy, full time girlfriend and full time friend I just didn't have the time to do all the swatches plus the challenges. Slowly I have been swatching here and there and here my friends is Bonita Red. (I still don't know the names of these colors). This is 1 coat of Bonita Red with a top coat of SV.

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

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
