Mish Mash Challenge: Holographic

Hello lovlies!!

Happy hump day says every camel ever! ;) It's time for another mish mash challenge day and I was super excited about the theme: holographic. It's no secret that holographic polishes are some of my favorite! I desperately wanted to bring you guys a holographic watermarble but Miss Watermarble being the fickle bitch that she is said "ain't no way in hell you're getting a holographic marble today". UGH! I literally tried for 3 hours yesterday and got a big fat NOTHING! Damn you Miss Watermarble!!! So sad :( 

But I decided to try out a maze gradient nail again inspired by the lovely Sarah from Chalkboard Nails. She always has such amazing nails and she does these gradients and paints a maze design over them that I just drool over every time. I decided to give is a go and loved it! It was surprisingly much easier then I anticipated! 

I started with a base of Color Club Over the Moon and sponged a gradient over that using Color Club Over the Moon and Eternal Beauty. When that was dry I took Color Club Beyond and a nail art brush and painted the maze design on top. Top coat with some Poshe and it was finished! 

OH! And watch out guys I'm experimenting with my photos AGAIN! -_- I just can't settle LOL! I'm loving this crisp white background though... but the edges came out far too blurry :( What do you guys think about it? 




Too bad the holographic effect didn't shine as bring in the photos as it did in real life :( But you can see a little sparkle below.


Well, these weren't exactly what I expected, again thank you Miss Watermarble -_-, but I really do love this design! And come on... everything is better with some holographic-ness mixed in! ;) 

What do you think? What's your favorite brand for holographic polishes?
Thanks dolls! Don't forget to check out everyone else's holographic nails!

Mardi Gras!

Good morning!

I've got a green and purple mani for you guys today for Mardi Gras!! Woohoo! This design is actually one I've been DYING to try! The amazing Sarah over at Chalkboard Nails does these beautiful nails and paints a maze-like pattern over them. If you haven't been to her site then you HAVE to go! Her nails are literally always perfect! Needless to say I've been absolutely in love with them and had it on my to-try list forever! Well finally I've done it! 


Colors used:
- Sinful Colors Let's Talk
- China Glaze Running in Circles
- Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold










You have to trust me that these looked SO awesome in person! There seems to be something wrong with my camera at the moment because it doesn't want to take a lot of crisp photos... strange. I haven't quite figured out why it's doing that so you'll have to suffice with these ;) 

Also, if you've been here awhile then you know that I love Sinful Colors Let's Talk SO much! Unfortunately it likes to photograph much more blue then it really is. In real life it's a beautiful royal purple not this weird blurple color that you see hah!

But anyways what do you think?

Thanks for reading guys :)
