Teal Tuesdays - Splatter Mani

For the mani today our challenge was to do a splatter mani. This was my very first attempt at doing a splatter mani and I had oodles of fun! It was messy but in a fun kind of way. For this mani I used Sea Siren as my base. I then splattered Sinful Colors Black on Black, Sally Hansen Silver Sweep and China Glaze Traffic Jam. To smooth out the mani I added 2 coats of SV.

How do you think I did for my first time doing a splatter mani?

Royal

Another double post today woohoo! As you can tell I've been fixing up my blog a little I added a banner and also added a picture of me on the About Me page. Hope you all like it!! I've been shopping like crazy these last two days, yesterday I went to Walmart and picked up about 8 polishes and today I went to Ulta and picked up about the same amount. Ulta was having a Buy 1, Get 1 free sale so of course I had to take full advantage of that! I'll post pics of my haul tomorrow. I wanted to get more practice stamping so I decided to use Revlon Royal, which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful blue's I have ever seen. This was 2 coats I should have used more but since I was stamping over it I didn't care.

I used Bundle Monster plate BM16 and Sally Hansen Silver Sweep, then added 1 coat of Seche Vite.

Thanks for looking!

Red Carpet

Happy Valentines Day!!! Yes it is the day of love and I'm bummed I wasn't able to do something sweet for my boyfriend. I went to the mall last night in a rush to buy him the shoes he keeps talking about but they were sold out of his size so I had to order them and now they won't be here for another week. Yes I know I waited and should have went earlier but I had this whole surprise planned out for him. Oh well just going to keep my surprise to myself in case I end up doing it for another occasion. On to the mani...Since we celebrated V-day on Sunday and went out to dinner at Pier 70 Aqua by El Gaucho which was AHH-mazing!! The service was good, the food was delicious and the view was fantastic, I highly recoommend the place if you are looking to impress anyone. For the mani I started with Sally Hansen Red Carpet, which is a beautiful red which reminds me of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz's glittery shoes.


As you can see it sparkles just right

Then decided to do something fun and funky so using scotch tape I take off my nails and used Sinful Color Black on Black to get a fun effect. Also added some hearts to my ring fingers and also my thumbs but I forgot to take a picture of those, sorry. For the hearts I used my Konad stamper and Bundle Monster plate, the polish was Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep.



When I was all finished I showed my nails to Allan (my boyfriend) and asked him what he thought. He looked at them and said they look like chocolate covered strawberries and it makes me want to eat them. I then had to look at them one more time and laughed my ass off. But it turned out perfect to me.

You Don't Know Jacques!

So I go through stages with colors and at the moment I am in love with Neautral colors so thats probably why I fell in love with color. I wish I would have kept this color on longer but two days was long enough. This is OPI You Don't Know Jacques! the name is very cute.
I then felt this mani needed a little more to it so I used my Bundle Monster plate and added some stars with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep.

And since I'm still obsessed with matte nails I added a coat of Essie Matte About You over my SV top coat.

Lincoln Park After Dark

My loving boyfriend bought me the OPI Best of the Best collection. Even though the bottles are extremely small I absolutely love the set!! Here is 2 coats of OPI Lincoln Park After Dark. It's looks completely black but it's supposed to have a hint of purple.

I also finally received my Bundle Moster plates so I decided to add some fun stamping. I got the idea from Erika's blog http://www.chloesnails.blogspot.com/ For the colors I used Sally Hansen Color Quick Pen Red Chrome and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep. I used plate BM02 for the lips.

Then I added LOVE and hearts on my thumbs nails with the same colors. For this I used plates BM03 for the hearts and BM09 for LOVE.

Since I am madly in love with matte nails at the moment I decided to use Essie Matte About You.
