Twins Tuesday: Jelly Sandwich

ITSSSSSSSSSS TWINSIE TUESDAY!!

Whoops! I fell off the Twinsie Tuesday wagon and I feel terrible! I kept meaning to make up posts and do the challenges but my job always seemed to get in the way T.T But "know on wood" things seem to be settling down now and I think I'm slowly finding my rhythm again so Twinsie Tuesday should resume it's regular schedule here on my little blog :)

Anyways, the theme for today is Jelly Sandwich! I have to confess something, I've never actually done a jelly sandwich manicure X.X Shhhhhh I am a jelly sandwich virgin no more! I love this sweet and soft look, it's super subtle but isn't that what a jelly sandwich is about?!

I started off with a base of OPI Bubble Bath. When that was dry I added a layer of OPI Pirouette My Whistle and added another layer of OPI Bubble Bath over that. I sealed everything in with a  layer of Seche Vite and finished this design off with a quick coat of NYC Matte Me Crazy.

This is such a soft and feminine look and it has just enough visual intreset to keep us polish addicts entertained ;) I have to say I liked this design a lot more then I thought I would. It's opening up a whole new slew of polish combinatations and I can't wait to try them out!

What do you guys think? Don't forget to check out all of the other girls and see what they've come up with, I know I'm super excited to see all the jelly sandwiches ;)

Twinsie Tuesday: Pinterest Inspiration

Oh gosh I'm so late! Again -_-

I was really excited about this prompt, I absolutely love getting inspiration from Pinterest. I actually wish I went on it more! But that app is so damn addicting you'll literally be on it for hours, not good when you're trying to get your nails done and a post up before today is over ;) 

Anyways I found THIS super cute abstract triangle design and just knew it would be perfect for todays prompt. Ready to check out what I came up with?!

I started with a base of Lime Crime Milky Ways. When it dried I added a layer of NYC Matte Me Crazy to make drawing the triangles easier. Then I added the triangles using grey, dark blue, light blue, black, and red/orange acrylic paints. I sealed it all in with a layer of Seche Vite and finally added one more coat of NYC Matte Me Crazy for a flat finish. 

Okay so the triangles are messier then I wanted them to be but honestly with my time crunch I'm pretty damn proud of these! I love the color combination and I think the flat finish gives it such visual interest.

What do you guys think?

Keep an eye out on my Instagram and YouTube Channel for tutorials on this look a little later!

And don't forget to check out every one else's Pinterest Inspiration designs, I can't wait to see what they've all come up with!

Twinsie Tuesday: Soft and Feminine

I'm late for Twinsie Tuesday AGAIN T.T

This time it's not entirely my fault I swear! I've been sick this weekend and I was going to write up my post yesterday but my computer decided that it didn't want to work. I was trying to download the new version of iMovie and it just completely shut down my computer. Technology right?? But it's all settled now so I'm finally writing up my Twinsie Tuesday post woohoo!

The theme for today is soft and feminine. I'm super excited about this post too because I really wanted to try out this one stroke ribbon method I saw Madamluck do on Instagram. Man, it's way harder then I thought it would be to do! But I figured it out and I can't wait for you guys to see what I've come up with!

I started out with a base of Sinful Colors Snow Me White. Then I created the ribbons using a pink and lighter pink acrylic paint. I outlined the edge with a slightly lighter pink acrylic paint and created the dots using two different teal acrylic paints. Finally I sealed everything in with a coat of Seche Vite and that was it!

So they OBVIOUSLY didn't come out as good as Madamluck's did (she's a goddess!!) But I'm quite proud of these ribbon nails and really want to revisit this technique again soon.

What do you guys think? What color combination would you like to see?

Don't forget to check out everyone else's Soft and Feminine nails, I can't wait to see what they've all come up with!

Twinsie Tuesday: Endometriosis Awareness

Happy Tuesday!

I hope your week is going well, I'm counting down the days until Sunday because DAYLIGHT SAVINGS! I can't wait for it to be lighter out later, just one more step closer to summer ;) 

Anyways since today is Tuesday that means it's time for Twinsie Tuesday! The theme for today is Endometriosis Awareness. Now to be honest I know nothing about Endometriosis, so I decided to do a little research. From what I read I understand Endometriosis as a painful disorder that occurs when the tissue that normal lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. This causes discomfort which can sometimes be severe and also fertility issues. Man, that sounds terrible. I'm glad that the theme for today is Endometriosis Awareness because I really don't think many people know about it, myself included, and I think it's important for everyone to know. The color for Endometriosis Awareness is yellow so I've got a bright yellow design below. Keep reading to see what I came up with!

I started with a base of Lime Crime Crema De Limon. When it was dry I stamped over it using Bundle Monster plate BM- 321 and Orly Glowstick for a subtle ribbon effect. When that was dry I used my cancer ribbon vinyls from The Little LacquerBean and painted over them with Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold. To finish this design off I sealed everything in with one coat of Seche Vite. 

I have to confess, I hate yellow nail polish. It's always difficult and I hate the way it looks with my skin! But I surprisingly didn't mind this mani, the two yellows really complimented each other and the outcome didn't close with my skin like I thought it would. Maybe I'll be trying out some more yellow designs in the future!

Don't forget to check out everyone else's Endometriosis Awareness manis for today, I'm super excited to see what everyone has come up with!

Twinsie Tuesday: Polish Received In A Swap

It's Tuesday so you know what that means... Twinsie Tuesday!

I hope you are all having a great week. I'm battling an enormous cold sore which seems to be eating my entire face... no really my lip is the size of a small house -_- And of course it had to come as I'm finally starting my new job boo! But what can you do but complain right? Anyone have any good remedies for a cold sore? None of my methods seem to be working for this one! Let me know in the comments if you know anything!

But enough of my whining, let's get back to the real reason you guys are here: nails! The theme for today's Twinsie Tuesday is A Polish Received In A Swap. Now I have to confess guys, I've never swapped polish with anyone! T.T But there is a lovely and wonderful woman named Maggy who heard that I was looking for Enchanted Polish June 2014(my birthday month!) I've known Maggy for a long time, she was one of my very first follower way back when I started this blog and when she heard I was looking for it she sent it to me for free! I couldn't believe it! The kindness that Maggy has shown me is just incredible and I thought I would honor that by showing off the polish that she gifted to me, Enchanted Polish June 2014.

June 2014 is a lovely purple/mauve/pink duo chrome shade with a gorgeous holographic finish. Just stunning. The formula is fantastic, smooth and buttery and completely opaque in two thin coats. Swatches below are two coats with top coat. Take a look at this pretty! 

Enchanted Polish June 2014 is everything that I thought it would be and more! It's very special to me because of where it came from and I'm glad I got to share it with you guys! I hope this counts for Twinsie Tuesday this week ;) 

And don't forget to check out what everyone else posted today, I know I'm excited to see all the pretty polishes!

Twinsie Tuesday: Match Your Nails to Your Purse

UGH.

I'm late for Twinsie Tuesday.... again -_- I was so hoping that I would be on time today but things got in the way of me making this post up yesterday and I had to work today so I'm writing it up now at 530pm.... sigh. I'm sorry guys but hey, at least I got it up in the same day! LOL 

The theme for today's post is match your nails to your purse. I got super excited about this post because I love my purse and then super sad because I realize that I don't have a polish that matches my purse. Boooooooooo! But I matched it up at close as I could so I hope you guys like it!

I started off with a base of Sally Hansen Presto Pink. When it was dry I took a small nail art brush and OPI This Gown Needs A Crown and painted on my small curved 'C' shapes. I sealed it all in with some Seche Vite and that was it!

I didn't think that I would like these nails because I wasn't a huge fan of this pink polish but I was actually surprised to find that I really enjoyed wearing these. I love the way the silver curves and snakes it's way through the pink, it's very visually aesthetic to me. But I'm probably base ;) Let me know what you guys think in the comments!

And don't forget to check out everyone else's purse matching nails, I know I can't wait to see what everyone has done!

Twinsie Tuesday: Anti-Valentine's Day

Hi guys!

It's Tuesday again and you know what that means.... Twinsie Tuesday! The theme for this week is Anti-Valentine's Day and I was kind of at a loss for this one. I really enjoy Valentine's Day, call me a hopeless romantic all you want ;), so I never really know what to do for an Anti-Vday manicure. But I really am happy with the design I created, are you ready to take a look?

I started off with a base of Essie No Baggage Please. When it was dry I used the dry brush technique to create a distressed look using Lime Crime Parfait Day, Color Club Miss Bliss, China Glaze Escaping Reality, and WetnWild Black Creme. I sealed everything in with Seche Vite and that was it!

So what do you think?! Did I do a good enough job for an Anti-Valentine's Day manicure? At least I tried right? ;) Make sure you take a look at the other girls Anti-Valentine's Day manicures, I can't wait to see what everyone came up with!
