Polka Dots - Erica's Nails and More February Challenge

Hey everyone!

I have a polka dot manicure for you tonight. These are one of my favorite manicures to do! So simple to do and it adds some spunk to a manicure. I have really been feeling the blue colors lately so that is what my manicure is inspired from.



I did not plan this - but notice how my nails match the sign I am holding? 

I used: 
Sinful Colors - Sweet Nothing
NYC - Skin Tight Denim
HK Girl Top Coat

There is one more challenge day left!

Peacock Nails

So I like to enter nail giveaways, I love winning polish! I think my poor hubby loves it when I win too! Since he is the one supplying my polish :) I entered one for Kelsie's Nail Files 1 year blogiversary and saw she was also doing a nail art contest! I knew right away that I wanted to do it! You had to take one of the pictures on her nail inspiration board and do a manicure off of that.

Here is what I chose to base my manicure off of.

This design just jumped out at me because I love all of these vibrant colors!

So here my nails are!



I had a lot of fun creating these! I might just rock this style again!

I used:

Orly - Wild Wisteria
Wet n Wild - Buffy the Violet Slayer
Essence - Go Bold!
China Glaze - Blue Sparrow
NYC - Skin Tight Denim
HK Girl - Top Coat

I hope you like it!

Glitter Loaded - Erica's February Challenge Day 3

Hey everyone!

I have for you day 3 of Erica's Nails and More - February Nail Art Challenge! Today's theme is glitter loaded. I don't own a lot of glitter polish because I only became polish obsessed in September and I really disliked glitter before because it was so hard to remove!

 I am sure most of you have heard of the glue trick well it really works for me and it is the only way I will wear glitter polish now! I actually LOVE wearing glitter polish now! If you have not heard of the glue trick let me quickly explain how it works. I take regular school glue and put it in an empty polish bottle and thin it out with some water. I mix it up real good and then I apply it to my nails just like polish. I do 2 coats waiting for each coat to completely dry. Then you add whatever polish you want and top coat it just like normal. For me it lasts 2-3 days depending on what I am doing which is fine!

 Anyway so back to glitter - I was excited to see this as a theme for the challenge.



My Mother in Law noticed these right away and said she really likes them. I like them too! First photo is by sunlight only in light box and second picture is with artificial light in light box. 

I used:

Sinful Colors - Rain Storm
NYC - Starry Silver Glitter
HK Girl Top Coat

Here is what is to come!
