Make Some Noise for Leopard

It's been quite a while since I featured a leopard print Mani on the blog so what the heck! Here is my first leopard print manicure of 2012 using some of my new polishes from Head2ToeBeauty.com

China Glaze 'Make Some Noise' A beautiful Orangey/red/coral creme. This color kind of has me stumped because I can look at it and see all of those colors..it's kind of tough to describe but it is pretty none the less.

The famous Konad plate M57 with Sinful Colors "Black On Black'

With a dotting tool and China Glaze's 'For Audrey' I added some random spots. I love the bright hot orange/red with touches of cool pretty Tiffany&Co. blue. It's a great color combination for sure and a first for me!

Thank you so much for reading! Happy Friday lovelies, I hope you all have a great weekend!

Swing Baby!!

Hey Loves! I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving! Check out one of my favorites...the leopard print mani.  I can't get enough of this pattern. 

China Glaze Swing Baby a sparkly bronzy gold. It kind of reminds me of M.A.C's Reflects in Antique Gold. I used Orly Matte Vinyl for the print sealed with a coat of Seche Vite. Purrrrfect! ;)

The camera doesn't do this polish any justice it is really so pretty and so unique especially in the sun light.

Thank you for reading! Have a fabulous week!

Colorful Leopard...Recycled Manicure

Hey lovlies! I decided to recycle the colorful sponge mani I did the other day. It was too pretty to get rid of. My wild side came out and I decided to bust out my Konad M57 plate and stamp on some leopard print. 

Orly Matte Vinyl for the stamp...as usual. One Coat of Seche Vite on top to seal everything and add shine. I sure do love the leopard print design, I will forever use this design. 

So pretty....I will be trying more color combinations and patterns on my sponge manicures. They are so easy and the possibilities are endless!

I got sooo many compliments on this manicure, everyone thought it was a decal though ha ha. It is so hard explaining the whole process to anyone that isn't into the whole nail scene. If you do nail stamping, how do you explain to people how it is done? I need an easier way :) Anyway Thank you so much for reading! Have a great day friends!

P.S. Incase anyone was wondering I am holding Electric Pineapple from China Glaze....it's basically my go to green.

Limitless Leopard

Hey Loves! I hope you had a great weekend! Check out this cool holographic leopard print manicure I did!

Thanks for reading!

Peace, Love, and Leopard Print! RAWR!

ANOTHER LEOPARD PRINT?!......yes -___-

Hey Beauties! Check out this sexy Manicure with one of my new Holo babies. I LOVE this! I was out the whole day I had this Mani and got a lot of compliments on it, this is one of the manicures that people barely notice but when they do they are like "ooooh cool" ha ha.

The base is Orly Matte Vinyl  because it was the only Black polish I could find quickly..(I really need to organize my collection ha ha)  The leopard design is China Glaze Holograph from the TRONICA collection using the infamous Konad plate M57.

I was worried to  stamp a holo over a black because I wasn't sure if it would turn out well with just one coat..usually when I do a holographic I like to do 2 or 3 coats to get the full rainbow effect, but this one is a fabulous! The polish stamped so well, I can't wait to work with more color combinations.

I totally suck at taking pictures in the sunlight...or at least catching the sunlight in time ha ha.  Good thing the sun is setting ha ha ha! Sorry friends. What are you favorite color combos and finishes to work with? Anything special you would like to see?

Thanks for reading!!

Purple and Lime green Leopard Mani!

I did this fun Manicure with my favorite Konad plate. It's plate M57 and I LOVE the leopard print. Purple is my favorite color but I promise there will be posts where my nails are NOT purple ha ha. I like the Purple and Lime green Color combination a lot, super fun!  Eventually I will post a video on how I do my Konad manicures..everyone has their own way of doing them but I will show you what works best for me. :)

Sally Hansen Green with Envy  and China Glaze Spontaneous

I used 2 coats of each polish..and then a coat of Seche Vite Top Coat for quick drying. The pattern is OPI Black Onyx I used my handy dandy Dotting tool for the dots and then a final coat of Seche Vite to seal everything!
