I love to bake. I love it but am not the biggest fan of eating baked goods. If I had to choose my favorite they would hands down be cookies! I specifically love chocolate chip cookies and M&M cookies.

I hope you like my cookies manicure for today’s prompt. I tried to go for a marbleized cookie dough batter kind of look!

 

ImageI used 2 coats of Urban Decay Naked (from the Naked collection) as my base.

I marbled with Sephora by OPI 212-Sephora and OPI Pros & Bronze. I topped off with Milani Sugar Rush.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 317 and Milani Dark Coffee.

Check out the sidebar linked to the Facebook group.

I am not going to lie…I am thrilled this month’s TPC colors are over. I do not know what it is but I had absolutely no creative juices with these colors and no matter what I did, the combination always looked wonky against my skin.

I hope you like my manicure this week!

 

ImageI used 3 coats of Pop Beauty Pacific Hoot on my index and middle finger, 3 coats of Milani Colorful Coral on my ring finger and 3 coats of Urban Decay Toasted (from the Naked collection) on my pinky finger.

I distressed from the top and bottom with the two polishes I did not use on the base.

What better way to celebrate pearls than to use one of my favorite Chanel polishes? Coco Chanel popularized the pearl in fashion and since then has been held in high regard throughout the fashion world. One strand of pearls can elevate any look to chic (well, almost!)

I hope you like my submission for the second week of June’s NAIL. I could not get the stamp to transfer properly! I tried it a couple of times and I used my “pearl” drops to mask the poor stamping…hehehe.

Nail Art Ideas Linkup: June #2 - Pearl DropsI used 2 coats of Chanel Les Vernis Peridot as my base.

I stamped with Konad Special Polish Black and Bundle Monster plate BM 322.

I detailed with Revlon Parfumerie Fresh Linen.

We all know I love the little devil stamp but I already used it so I decided to go with the bat blood drip!

I hope you like it!

 

ImageI used 2 coats of Julie G White Orchid as my base.

I sponged the gradient with butter London Cotton Buds, Sephora by OPI Metro Chic and Wet n Wild Black Creme.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 301 and Konad Special Polish Red.

I am finally getting around to the NAIL themes this month! I was kind of scared to do the first week because I have never attempted a leopard print.

I like how the ring finger came out but the other nails look a little crowded. I definitely need more practice.

Let me know what you think! What should I do differently? Any tips or tricks?

 

ImageI used 2 coats of SpaRitual Running with Wolves and 1 coat of butter London Hen Party as my base.

I detailed with Urban Outfitters Westside, Color Club Wham! Pow!, China Glaze Fuchsia and Milani Black Swift.

I love sparkly things. I am kind of like a puppy, in that respect. It is funny, though, I own quite a few glitter polishes but I very rarely wear them. As a friend says, I really just like looking at them.

I hope you like my sparkly manicure for today’s Bundle Monster prompt!

 

ImageI used 1 coat of Milani Swift Black and 1 coat of butter London The Black Knight as my base. I used 2 coats of Essie On a Silver Platter as the accent.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 311, Konad Special Polish Gold and Milani Black Swift (not bad if you work fast!)

Eh, I am not too thrilled about this manicure. When I saw the prompt I thought sugar-spin, but I could not find a stamp that really encompassed “icing”. And of course, I ended up covering most of the stamp!

For whatever reason, there has been a huge insurgence of this nasty blue frosting on cakes. I think kids like it because of the color. It is the nastiest tasting, most staining frosting I have ever seen. It is the greatest shade of blue though — something about a food that color screams “danger!” for the stomach! Hehehe…

 

ImageI used 2 coats of Milani Dark Coffee, Gems and 1 coat of butter London Hen Party as my base.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plates BM 308, 318 and Konad Special Polish White.

I sugar-spun with Color Club Almost Famous! and Pop Beauty Pacific Hoot (I kid you not, this is the exact color of that popular frosting!)
