Rainbow Paint Splatter Manicure

Aloha Sweeties! I was at the Mall the other day and was enticed by the Konad Kiosk. I had to check out what they had even though the prices are INSANE! As I was looking I stumbled upon a plate I didn't have yet! Normally the plates are 10 bucks but I managed to get a discount. WIN! I picked up Plate M21 just for this awesome paint splatter design.

Before the Konad Stamp..Lot's of colors including a few newbies from China Glaze...Electric Pineapple in my hand and on my ring Finger and Papaya Punch on my Pinky. These are from the China Glaze Island Escape Collection which I picked up this weekend as well.

After...Using Konad Plate M21 and a BUNCH of different polishes!

I love the detail of this plate...Glad I picked it up!

I hope you guys like it! It took me a while since I used so many different colors..but it was totally worth it. Also I am still trying to get used to my super short nails..I like them but I miss my long ones. What do you guys think? Long or short? Thanks for reading! I hope you all are having a great weekend!

Peace, Love, and Rainbow Nails!!

Hey Lovelies! I hope you all had a fabulous Easter!  I had to work but it was a short day at least. :) Check out the edgy black and silver studded Matte Mani I did today..

China Glaze Liquid Leather (two coats) and One coat of Essie Matte About you.
I picked up some little silver beads from Sally's and I have been wanting to use them for so long!

 I am sure you probably notice how insanely short my nails are...I got into a fight with my phone and broke the nail on my middle finger. *SOB*   Oh well, My nails grow back SO fast some I am not even worried. :) 

Oh and Also a few days ago I got my lip pierced! I love it.

Thank you so much for reading!

The British Tea Set...HUH?!

Hey Loves! I have missed nail stamping so much lately. After my St. Patricks Day post my scraper just up and disappeared on me. My Daughter probably threw it in the trash ha ha. After many failed attempts of using other random objects (a credit card, part of the plastic top to a package of baby wipes) I gave up on stamping for a while..But I am back at it loves! My awesome Boyfriend braved the mall and the RIDICULOUS  prices and bought me a new scraper and a new stamper which I love!

He paid 10 bucks for this. YIKES! So much cheaper on line but I was in desperate need and he knew this ha ha!  The smaller stamper is great and I love the that it's white..I can see the designs MUCH better so placement on the mail is better. Good Job Kevin!

Two coats of China Glaze First Mate and then using Orly Pointe Blanche I used Konad Plate M70 to stamp on the really cool flower design. I had completely overlooked this plate but there are two designs on it that I REALLY like! This design and the one I use here..

I am really happy with the blue and white combination. 

I think it's time for another trim..  :/

Up Close!

Thanks for reading!  I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!
Peace, Love, and Nail Stamping!

P.S. I asked Kevin what I should call this post and with ZERO Hesitation he said.. "The British Tea Set" hahahaha ummmmm! He brings the LOLZ times 10.

Music, Manicures, and More!

   Happy Friday Cupcakes! Tonight I am going to see Talib Kweli and I am way stoked! I love Music and Talib is one of my favorites! This has been a great Concert year for me so far and it's only going to get better because I get to see Deftones in June and I just found out my Mom is going to take me to see the fabulous Sade for my Birthday!! EEEEEP! ANNNNYWAY ha ha this is the manicure I decided to go with for tonight. :)

I added Blurry pictures because I find that is shows off the rainbow effect.

I started off with two coats of Goth by Orly. It's my go to polish when I can't pick which color to go with.The hardest part of doing a manicure for me is picking the colors...everything else is easy peasy! ha ha. The I used Color Club Worth The Risque to stamp a design from Konad Plate M70

I love a good holographic design over a pretty black.

Thank you for reading!  I am off to go put on my Makeup for tonight! I hope you all have a great weekend. Be safe Loves!

Peace, Love, and Dancing the night away to REAL Hip-Hop!
