Bloody Spiders

I HATE THESE NAILS!

Not that I don't think they're cool because they are... but SPIDERS T.T Grossssssss!

I suppose spiders go hand in hand with Halloween but man, do I hate them! Sade to say these nails didn't last more then the amount of time it took me to photograph them LOL! 

Anyways.... let's get creating ;) 

I started with a base of Essie Blanc. When it was dry I applied some liquid latex around my nails and created the blood splatter with a straw and OPI Big Apple Red. I removed the liquid latex and added some spider decals from Stick It! Nail Vinyls and sealed everything in with some Seche Vite. And that was it! Check them out!

Spooooooooky! As much as I hate spiders I think these are absolutely perfect for Halloween! What will you be wearing on your nails this year?

Thanks loves :) 

Spooky Spider Webs

It's that time of year again! 

Time for pumpkins, ghosts and ghouls, and all that spooky stuff. Me? I prefer the cute Halloween stuff ;) Although haunted houses is a guilty pleasure of mine.... unless it involves chainsaws, then EFFFFFF that! 

Anyways I bought a few polishes from a new to me brand, Nasty Nails, and one of the colors I bought was Boink! A GORGEOUS pumpkin orange! I couldn't wait to give it a try so I figured some Halloween nails were in order. Want to check it out?

I started with a base of Nasty Nails Boink! and then applied a layer of TLLB Glow-Stly over top. When it was dry I stamped over each nail with Bundle Monster plate BM-H07 and a black stamping polish from the Born Pretty Store. I sealed it all in with some Seche Vite and that was it!

That orange though.... PERFECTION! I'm not much of an orange wearer but I can see myself wearing this one a lot!

Quilted Bling

Hey guys!

So when I was trying out the Expressionism plate and the Say I Do plate from the Winstonia Store, I got really excited about this quilted image on the Say I Do plate. I've tried this look free hand before and failed miserably... which is why you guys haven't seen it LOL! SO I was super pumped about being able to stamp it instead! Ready to check it out?

I started with a base of Lime Crime Milky Ways. I applied a layer of Seche Vite over top to speed up the drying process and when my nails were dry I stamped over each on using the quilted image form the Winstonia Store Say I Do plate and a black stamping polish from the Born Pretty Store. I applied Seche Vite one more time and while it was still wet I carefully placed one rhinestone over a larger dot on each nail. Finally I applied a layer of NYC Matte Me Crazy to bring it all together.

I am LOVING this look! SO classy and simple with just the right amount of sparkle to catch your eye. I can't wait to try this one out in different color combinations!

Totally Wavy Dude

 Hi guys!

If you haven't noticed yet, I've been using a lot of vinyls from Stick It! Nail Vinyls lately. That's because I am watching the entire collection so there are a lot more to come... they are SO fun though so I hope you don't mind! I think there will be a lot of designs you will love! 

So on to the next one ;)

I started this look off with a base of Color Club Beyond. When it was dry I applied some Wave Stencils from Stick It! Nail Vinyls and sponged over them using Mundo De Unas White. I removed the vinyls and added small hearts near my cuticle using turquoise acrylic paint. I sealed it all in with a layer of Seche Vite and that's it!

I always love the way black and white nail designs stand out, so clean! And that little pop of turquoise really make it awesome!

What do you guys think?

Thanks loves :) 

Harvest Spikes

Hi guys!

I've been crazy about fall-esque nail designs and I think this one is my favorite to date! Something about golds, browns, and nudes together just make me ant to get my sweater and boots out! 

I started with a base of Enchanted Polish Flashing Lights and when it was dry I applied some Spike Vinyls from Stick It! Nail Vinyls and sponged over them with Mundo De Unas Brown and Lime Crime Milky Ways. I removed the vinyls and sealed it all in with a layer of Seche Vite to finish it off.

Dat sun pic doe <3 These photos don't do this Enchanted justice at all, it's absolutely stunning in real life!

What do you guys think?

Thanks loves :) 

Spiked

Hi guys,

I was feeling like I wanted to create something a little edgy lately so I grabbed my Spike Vinyls from Stick It! Nail Vinyls and went to work!

I started with a base of Victorias Secret Mischief. When it was dry I applied some Spike Vinyls in a half moon pattern on my nails and sponged over it with Mundo De Unas Light Blue and Lilac. I removed the vinyls and sealed everything in with some Seche Vite to finish it off.

This look was super fun to create and I love how crisp the vinyls removed! 

What do you guys think?

Sorry for the short post ;) Thanks loves!

Look! A Wild Watermarble!

Okay raise your hand... who remembers the last time I did a watermarble... yeah, me either LOL! 

Let's change that. 

I got my watermarble tool in the mail the other day from Whats Up Nails and I couldn't wait to use it! 

I started off with a base of Sally Hansen Insta Dry Tag, Ur It!. When it was dry I created my watermarble using China Glaze Violet Vibes, DJ Blue My Mind, Treble Maker, and Pipe Dream Polish Clearwater. I finished it off with a layer of Seche Vite to seal everything in.

I. Can't. Even. Seriously guys I am SO in love with these! I forgot how much I loved actually watermarbleling and you can bet your butts I'll be doing it more often so keep your eyes open ;)

Always In My Heart

Hi guys,

If you follow me on Instagram (@pinkandpolishednails) then would would have heard already that my beautiful grandmother passed away last Thursday. She fought a short but terrible battle with uterine cancer, and watching her fight and slowly fail was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. But she is finally at peace and not hurting anymore and that gives me solace.

So, when I went to paint my nails I automatically went for my LynBDesigns Nightmare Revisited. My grandma loved it when I painted her nails and this was the last color I painted on her and she was so in love with it. It seemed only fitting to use it now, especially because it's one of my favorite colors too. I painted two easy coats and applied some Multi Heart Stencils from Stick It! Nail Vinyls over each nail. Then I sponged on some Wet n Wild Black Creme halfway up each nail, removed the vinyl and applied a coat of Seche Vite to seal everything in. 

I love the way this look came out and it makes my heart smile to be reminded of my grandmother. 

What do you guys think?

Thanks loves :) 

Negative Space White Blobbicure

Hey guys!

It's been a hot minute since a last did a blobbicure and I think it's about time I get another one up on this blog! I have to say, this may be my favorite one to date, so make sure to let me know what you guys think!

I started off by applying a thick layer of Seche Vite on my nail, while that was still dry I took Sinful Colors Snow Me White and blobbed it all over my nails. I let the polish spread and when it was dry I applied on more layer of Seche Vite to seal it all in. I also added this cute little crown to my ring finger nail!

I love this look! And I love it even more because you only need two things: top coat and white polish. That's it! No tools or anything, how much better could it get? 

Do you think this look is cool?! 

Thanks loves :) 

Polka Dotted

Hi guys!

I've been itching to do a dotticure lately but sometimes they can be so frustrating! I mean they're super easy to create but trying to get the dots all the same size can make you go cross eyed! And of course I'm SUPER ocd so I spend so much time trying to get them all the same time it's nuts! So i decided to try out these polka dot stencils from Stick It! Nail Vinyls and man, they were so much easier! Check it out!

I started with a base of Bear Pawlish Never Ending Story. When it was dry I placed the Polka Dot Stencils from Stick It! Nail Vinyls and sponged Sally Hansen Snappy Sorbet over top. I peeled the vinyls off while the polish was still wet and finished it off with some Seche Vite.

I'm LOVING the look of these uniform dots, my inner ocd is very pleased :) Not to mention Bear Pawlish Never Ending Story is completely GORGEOUS!

Love it!

Squiggly

Oh hiiiiiiiii guys! Long time no talk!

Sorry I've been a bit MIA again, if you want to know why follow me on Instagram, I posted about it there ;) 

Anyways, my nails all broke, OF COURSE T.T so it's back to nubblies for a little while but hey, that's okay as long as I can still paint them ;) 

I wanted to do something simple today and I fell in love with a squiggly (yes, that's totally a word) design on the Expressionism stamping plate from the Winstonia Store... check it out!

I started with a base of Color Club Beyond. When it was dry I stamped over it using the Expressionism plate and Mundo De Unas Light Pink, and then again using Mundo De Unas Light Gold. I sealed it all in with some Seche Vite and that was it!

I'm loving this simple design SO much! It's kind of crazy and that's totally right up my alley ;)

Also, I'm trying a new set up for taking photos, I'm not sure how I feel about it yet but I think I like it LOL! What do you guys think?
