Saran Wrap Marbled Nails with Metallic Temp Tattoo Accents

Hi guys!

I've finally jumped on the metallic tattoo bandwagon woohoo!! For those of you who aren't aware, in the nail art world people have started using temporary tattoos for nail art and its just fantastic! Since I finally just got a few in I thought I'd give it a try with this fun and spring saran wrap mani. Let me know what you guys think!

I started out with a base of Essie and then sponged over top of each nail with saran wrap and Sinful Colors Snow Me White. When that dried I used these fun small silver triangle tattoos and applied them to my nails. I sealed everything in with some Seche Vite and that was it!



I really enjoy the way that the soft purple and white contrast with the harsh metallic silver I think it gives such an interesting effect! 

I'll definitely be using more metallic tattoos soon so watch out! 

Thanks loves :)

Create A Little Love on Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day Cupcakes! :) 

I hope you are all having a wonderful day! Mine's been ehh, I had to work and my boyfriend took a trip to Maine [I live in Massachusetts] with his dad and some friends to go snowmobiling for the weekend so I'm a bit lonely. I won't bore you with the details but we haven't been this far away from each other ever so I'm sad but trying to stay cheerful! Hey, what can ya do right? 

Love means something different to every person, to me it's finding that one person you can be completely yourself with, and also someone who makes you want to be a better person, someone who inspires you. I'm so incredibly grateful to have been lucky enough to find that special someone and even though he's four hundred and something miles away, his heart stays here and I know he'll be home soon :) Oooooh muuuuuuushy ;) LOL 

So I started with a base of Essie No Baggage Please and used the saran wrap method to add Essie Blanc, Lime Crime Parfait Day, and China Glaze Pool Party. When that was dry I painted the half moons on using Essie Blanc and used a dotting tool to create the 'doily' effect. I added some small dots in the bigger dots using Lime Crime Parfait Day. After that I used Bundle Monster BM-426 and stamped the love letters with L.A. Colors Striping Polish in Black and filled in the empty space with OPI This Gown Needs A Crown. I top coated with some Poshe and the design was finally finished! Whewwwwwww!






Look at those chubby little fingers!! You know what they say, the camera adds ten pounds LOL! 

But seriously I have a question for all of you, since my boyfriend is away on a trip will YOU all be my valentines? ;) 

Thanks loves :)

Very first saran wrap nails!

Well hello again!

So after I did my bff's nails I decided to try something new on my own. I've been seeing the saran wrap method pop up all over the place and I have to say I've got a love/hate relationship with it. I wanted to do something for fall so I thought I would put some red, yellow, and copper together and maybe it would look like fall leaves :) The results are ehhhh in my opinion. I do like them but they aren't like anything I've ever worn so they take a little to get used to. So here you guys go, my fall, smudgy, water-colory nails...


Colors used:
- China Glaze Harvest Moon
- Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow
- Ms. Pedicure Red










It was pretty easy to create I just painted my nails with China Glaze Harvest Moon and let them dry completely. Then once it was dry I put a blob of Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow and a blob of Ms. Pedicure Red next to each other on a flat surface. I crumpled up some saran wrap and dabbed it in the colors and a couple times on my surface to get some of the polish off. After that I dabbed a couple times on my nails until I was happy with how they looked. 

So what do you guys think yay or nay? I'm still a little undecided. 
Thanks again for reading :)
