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 :) 

31DC2014 Day 8: Metallic Nails

Well it's day 8 of the 31 Day Challenge 2014 and you guys know what that means... time for some metallic nails!! 

I was super excited for this day because I had such a fun manicure in mind, and it actually came out somewhat how I planned ;) 

I knew right away that I wanted to test out some of my The Little LacquerBean nail vinyls and combine them with a shiny, rainbow-esque design. So check out what I came up with!

I started off with a base of OPI Push & Shove on all of my nails. When my base was dry I placed some TLLB wave nail vinyls (You can buy them HERE) on each nail. I painted over each nail with Sally Hansen Cobalt Chrome, SH Minted Metal, SH Liquid Gold, and Essie Penny Talk. I removed the vinyls and topped everything off with some Essie Good To Go and my design was finished. 

I just love the subtle rainbow finish to these and they were SO SHINY! If you know me you know I can't resist anything shiny! Yeah I'm one of those simple people ;) And that's just perfectly fine by me! 

Okay it's your turn! Post a link to your metallic nails in the comments so I can see them!!!

Thanks loves :) 

Sally Hansen Color Foil partial swatches

Hey guys!

*press sample*

Sally Hansen recently came out with their Color Foil collection, a collection of ten "aluminum finish" polishes to give your nails a one-of-a-kind metallic mirror foil finish. I've got three of the ten shades to share with you guys today if you want to take a look!

Now I have to say beforehand that because of the metallic foil finish these polishes have, they are REALLY good at showing every. single. imperfection. -_- My nails have a bit of a wave towards the cuticle, usually you guys can't tell but in these photos you'll be able to see. But the wave is just my nail, it has nothing to do with the polish.The formula however is a bit tricky, because of the metallic finish it dries rather quickly and you have to be careful applying it. So if you work quickly and carefully then you won't have a problem! 

- Cobalt Chrome - 

Bright blue chrome. Two coats with top coat. 

- Minted Metal - 

Mint green chrome. Two coats with top coat. 

- Yellow Gold -

Yellow leaning green gold chrome. This leaned extremely green on me, but other swatches I see around have it looking more gold so I think its just me ;) Two coats with top coat. 

Sally Hansen Color Foil collection retails for $6.99USD for a 10mL bottle. These polishes along with so many more colors can be found at www.sallyhansen.com and various retail stores. Stay up to date with new polishes, products, promos, and sales by following Sally Hansen:

Mish Mash Challenge: Metallic

Hi cupcakes!

It's Wednesday so you know what that means right?! Another challenge day for the Mish Mash Challenge hosted by Kimber's Lacquer Korner. :) Today's challenge day theme is metallic. I know exactly what you guys are going to say when you see mine... "another tape mani really?" But hey I didn't know what else to do! And I always love how tape manicures end up so... deal with it yo! ;) 

Anyways, I don't actually own very mani metallic polishes because I don't like them. I don't like being able to see brush strokes and generally I'm just not a big fan of the way they look. But I do have a few and decided to go with a gold, silver, bronze look here.

To start off I painted all of my nails with Sally Hansen InstaDri Silver Sweep. Then I taped off my nails and painted with Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold and ELF Copper. After that I took all three colors and free handed some more triangles on the sides and inside the other ones. Then I used NCY Matte Me Crazy because I like the way metallics look mattified better and added a rhinestone to each and I was done! 

What do you think? I'm so iffy on metallics but I actually kind of liked how these turned out! I think the matte top coat made me like it more too it made the brush strokes less visible in my opinion. 

I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with don't forget to check them out!
Thanks guys :)
