Don't Go Raining On My Minty Parade

Hey guys!

So,

I can't bring myself to take Cirque Julep off of my nails O.O For real though I've been wearing it for 3 days already. But I needed to move on with my polish, the struggles of being a nail blogger are totally REAL ;) So I decided why not just do a little art-ing over top? 

I love this "rainy day" look, it's so fun and super cute!

I started with a base of Cirque Colors Julep. When it was dry I used my raindrop vinyls from Snail Vinyls and created a gradient using Cirque Julep and China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise over it. When I was happy with my gradient I peeled off the vinyls and finished it off with a generous layer of Seche Vite. And that was it!

I love that this look is quite subtle but it has just enough oomph to be super stunning, especially out in the sunshine ;) 

What do you guys think? What polishes are you loving this summer?

Thanks loves :) 

Holographic neon tribal

Hi guys! 

I can't handle this much awesomness! Holo, neon, glitter, tribal, pink.... WHAT DO I DO?! 

This is the manicure of all manicures that I've created, I've never had so many things that I love in one single design. I DIE! 

Whoops, I went all crazy nail polish lady on you guys for a minute there ;) 

But for real doe, this design is killer!

I started off with a base of Orly Mirrorball (shield your eyes from the beauty T.T) When Mirrorball was dry I applied some tribal nail vinyls from Snail Vinyls and painted over them with China Glaze Pool Party. I peeled off the vinyls and sealed everything in with Seche Vite to finish it off!

These nails are so incredibly simple but crowd stopping! If they don't notice the blindingly bright neon they'll definitely notice that rainbow sparkle! 

What do you guys think? Do you think I'm crazy yet? Or just crazy enough?

Talk to you next time loves :)

Neon Moroccan

T.T

Why does this keep happening to me?! I keep disappearing! I'm so sorry guys, if you follow me on Instagram (@pinkandpolishednails) I posted a few days earlier about why I haven't posted in a while. Basically my best friend moved to florida, my mom got two puppies, I got a wicked sinus infection, broke almost all of my nails, and to top it off my mom got into a nasty car accident. Everyone's okay, just hurt our pride ;) LOL 

But things are calming down finally so I can get back to doing what I love... nails! And I really love this design!

I started off with a base of China Glaze Red-y To Rave. When it was dry I used the Moroccan Nail Stencils from Snailvinyls and Color Club Beyond to create the full design on my ring and middle and I just used a tiny portion to create my index and pinky. I added three dots of China Glaze Mingle With Kringle on my index and pinky and topped everything off with a layer of Seche Vite to finish the design.

I really really enjoyed this design! I love the contrast between the bright neon red and the deep black holo. Super pretty and perfect for summertime!

What do you guys think?

I promise I will be getting back into my normal routine as quick as I can! Thanks for sticking around <3

Thanks loves :) 

Reciprocal Star Gradient Nails

Hi guys! 

I'm super excited about these nails because ever since I started seeing these swirl star vinyls I knew I HAD to try them! Well good news and bad news, bad news first: they are a HUGE pain in the butt to apply!! LOL But the good news is that they are absolutely 100% worth it! 

I started off with a base of Wet n Wild Black Creme. Then I created the vertical gradient using Wet n Wild Black Creme and LynBDesigns Nightmare Revisited. When that dried I applied my star vinyls (which I purchased from Snail Vinyls) and created the same gradient but with reverse colors. I peeled off the vinyls and added a layer of Sech Vite to seal everything in. 

I'm so obsessed with reciprocal gradient designs lately. The final effect is just so amazing to me LOL! But really, these nails totally made me feel like a rockSTAR B)

What do you guys think?

Thanks loves :)

Wave Nails

Hi guys!

Since the weather has been getting warmer my excitement for summer is growing tremendously. Summer is absolutely my favorite season, warm, sunny, and it doesn't take 37584634689 layers of clothing to stay warm! With the summer come THE BEACH. *sigh* The beach. What a wonderful place <3 Too bad I never get to go because everyone around me hates it -_- So i thought I'd bring the beach to my nails instead with these awesome waves!

I started off with a base of Color Club Over The Moon. When it dried I applied the wave vinyls from Snail Vinyls along the edge of my nails. I painted over the vinyls using China Glaze DJ Blew My Mind and quickly peeled off the vinyls. I sealed everything in with a layer of Seche Vite to finish this design off.

These nails really are quite simple but they really pack a punch with the neon / holographic combination. I love ho quickly I was able to create this design with the wave vinyls from Snail Vinyls, they were so incredibly easy to use!
