Fun Tips!

Hello friends! I was recently playing around with some polish and came up with this fun french manicure. I rarely just focus on my tips but my nails are getting long enough to play around and experiment with manicures like this. I hope you like it.

Kind of Cheetara-esque don't ya think? hahaha That was NOT my intention and I didn't realize that until after. 


China Glaze Hope Chest...Migi Nail Art Pen in Black...China Glaze Happy Go Lucky

I  painted the yellow on free hand, I may pick up some of the french manicure stickers to use as a guide next time so it will be more even.

Just the tip. ha!

What do you think? I can't wait to try more color combinations and designs. What do you guys have in mind? Any cool suggestions for a fun french Manicure? Let me know! Thank you for reading and I hope you all have a great weekend!

Lemon Fizz!!

Hey lovelies! Here is my swatch of China Glaze Lemon Fizz. A pretty pastel yellow creme. This polish is very soft, sometimes pastels can seem kind of chalky but this one is nice and smooth. Not a harsh yellow at all.

Not too sure if I would wear it with out a design..I don't think Yellow works well with my skin tone.

Thanks for reading ladies!

HIERO SHOW MANICURE!

Hello Beauties! I hope you are all having a great weekend! So far mine has been FUN! Yesterday my little family and I went to Flagstaff. I was there to see the amazing Hieroglyphics. This was their 20 Year Anniversary show so I had to travel the few hours to see it and I am glad I did. It was an amazing show!  Here is the manicure that I did for the concert...
I didn't want to go girly at all so I went with Orly Goth a glittery Black for the base..with China Glaze Lemon Fizz for the Konad Design.

Houndstooth is my favorite pattern. I recently got SIX new Konad plates and this design is so cool! This is from plate M63.This Houndstooth is so much better the one on the Bundle Monster Plate. Its bigger so you get better coverage with one stamp.

I was so worried that I would get a chip in polish that I brought  my nail tools with me. ha ha! Luckily no chips I just put on an extra coat of Seche Vite before the show and I was ready to party! and I did PARTY!  I lost my voice and had some drinks did a lot of dancing. I also met some cool people! 

I got a few compliments on this mani, I can tell I did a good manicure when strangers stop me to tell me they like my nails (especially when a guy stops me ha ha).  All in all I think this was the perfect Manicure for the night!

Thanks for reading and following if you have!

SUPER girly Manicure!

Hey loves..Here is a pretty Mani I did a while back but just tweeked it a bit. It is super girly with China Glaze Rich and Famous as the base. This color is Perfect Bright pink creme. I call it 80's Barbie Pink. It just POPS!


China Glaze Rich and Famous

The flowers are China Glaze White on White and the dots are China Glaze Solar Power.
I used Bundle Monster Plate BM16 for the daisies.

The Yellow is the new part of this mani. when I did it before I just had the pink and white. I used my dotting tool that I got from sallys to add a more detailed flower effect.

This Polish photographs really well!

What do you guys think? Is it girly enough for ya? I like to pair these kind of manicures with an old Band tee shirt..Guns and Roses OR The Casualties. ha ha Leaves people with the WTF? look. I hope you like this Manicure. Thanks for checking it out and following if you have!
