Inspired by a tutorial - Erica's Nails and More February Challenge

Hey everyone!

Tonight I have for you day 7 of the challenge which is inspired by a tutorial. I was not sure what I wanted to do for this one so I just hopped on google and browsed through pictures. I ended up falling in love with a cupcake manicure I saw. You can find the tutorial here. 

Since Walgreens is offering Sinful Colors for 99 cents with coupon I picked up 6 of the new Sugar Rush collection and I knew right away this would be perfect. I love the colors so much and I thought I would hate pastels on me - boy was I wrong! I am planning on going back and picking up the 2 other polishes I missed out of the collection.

Here are my cupcake nails!

I don't have any nail art brushes and I think I need to invest in some. I made my stripes with a dotting tool so they are a little jagged looking. I still think they are adorable though.

I used:

Sinful Colors - Unicorn

Sinful Colors - Sugar N' Spice

Sinful Colors - Candy Coated

Sally Hansen - White On

HK Girl Top Coat

Here is what is left! We are getting close to the end! It really flew by and as always I get sad when a challenge is over!

P.S. I am not kidding if you have not entered the giveaway you really want to do so HERE, we are getting down the wire! Who is going to take home some amazing prizes? 

Check out below the other awesome manicures!

Inspired by a Pattern - Erica's Nails and More February Nail Challenge

Hey everyone!

Sorry for my absence lately. I am working hard planning my sister in law's baby shower. She also had not registered anywhere so I have been spending countless hours doing that with her. I can tell she is excited!

Tonight I have day 4 of Erica's February Challenge - Inspired by a pattern. I had no idea what I wanted to do so I went to google and searched patterns. This is what I came up with.

Here is what I got on my nails

I don't know why but my nails remind me of ice cream haha!

I will have to update what polishes I use when I get home (Currently spending the night at my sister in laws) and I didn't get a chance to write down the polishes down.

Here is what is left:

Skittle Manicure

I have for you tonight a skittle manicure. This is my first one. I had a blast doing it. At first I was unsure how I would like the look of a skittle manicure on me but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised and I have a feeling I will be rocking more of these in the future.  I got my inspiration from Chit Chat Nails. If you have never been to her blog you should check it out! Her photos are amazing!

With this skittle manicure I also tried out my new Bundle Monster plates well just one design but I was very pleased!

From Left to Right I used:

Wet n Wild Wild Shine - Metallica

Essie - Marshmallow BM Plate 317 with Pure Ice - Black Rage

Zoya - Aria

Pure Ice - Black Rage

Sinful Colors - Hot Wired 

Top Coat - HK Girl 

Do you like skittle manicures? Why or why not?

Indie Review - IDMNT Panic Attack

So last week I received a beautiful polish to review from I'm Doing My Nails Today (IDMNT). This baby is called panic attack. When I got it in the mail I was so excited that I received this particular polish because I absolutely love the combo of pink and brown together. This has small glitter as well as slightly larger pink and brown glitters in it. 

Let's get to the fun stuff!

Gorgeous! I Really love the look and I think it's just the right amount of sparkle without being too much! 

I put on Pure Ice Cherish under Panic Attack. I used 2 coats of Panic Attack and I think it was the perfect amount. I did not have to dig around for glitters and it went on pretty evenly. The application of the polish was very easy! I am sure you could wear this alone, but I prefer the look of it on top of another color. I topped it off with HK Girl super shiny and fast drying top coat.

You can pick this baby up at I'm Doing My Nails Today's Etsy Shop 

IDMNT has mini size bottles for 3.99 and full size bottles for 5.99. Panic Attack is still in her shop along with many other colors!

LE Dollish Polish - Girls Rule, Boys Drool

Hello Everyone! Anyone have plans this weekend? This is the first weekend since October that my hubby is working 60 hrs so he only has Sunday off. Looks like I will be polishing, sewing, and possibly doing some holiday baking this weekend.

Moving on... Today I have for you Dollish Polish's Girls Rule, Boys Drool. I was one of the lucky gals to snag this limited edition polish - there was only 300 to go around. 

This polish applied like a dream! I did not have to place any glitters anywhere and it was even! I am very happy with this polish. Instead of building it on it's own (I want to conserve this beauty) I put it over my Elevation Polish - Pic du Gar (Which I also won in a giveaway) I love how the dark purple really makes GRBD pop and come to life! 

Here are the pictures!

As you can see you get a pretty even and strong amount of polish with just one coat. I am sure 2 coats maybe 3 coats would be needed for full coverage of just this polish alone.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Oh side note I am pretty sure I am going to participate in the Show Me Your Top Coats group's Holiday Challenge. So look forward to more nail art!

November Nail Art Challenge - Day 10

Well it is the last day! I feel this challenge flew by! Thank you Erica for hosting this challenge!

 Looking back I can see definite improvements from my first post. I feel that this time I stayed in my comfort zone although I did try a bunch of new techniques but I have decided the next challenge I do I am going to branch out and really try new things and step outside the box a bit. Ladies you all did a terrific job and I really enjoyed looking at each of the posts!

Once I did my polka dot mani for the first time ever in this challenge I knew I wanted to recreate it for day 10. I was looking back at my very first challenge entry and I thought the rainbow was just pitiful so I was going to redo the rainbow one but I decided to do the best of both world's. I decided to do a rainbow polka dot mani.

So here is my last entry for this challenge. I hope you enjoy!
