I am finally caught up and I have to say this is my favorite prompt so far. I love snow manicures, they are just so sparkly!

My inspiration was snow on Evergreen trees. Enjoy!

I started with 2 coats of Zoya Giovanna as my base. I sponged a little Zoya Suvi for a multi-dimensional look.

I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM 319 and Essie No Place Like Chrome. 

I sponged with Zoya Crystal and Essie On a Silver Platter.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Day 20: Pop Culture

I know who the famous train wreck celebrities are, I watch the popular shows, I listen to pop music, I keep up with the latest trends…however, I’ve never been one to “follow” said popularities…except in the beauty world.

Right now the biggest color trend is rose-gold! I planned on a simple manicure with a little sponging and realized I do not own a single rose-gold polish since most shades appear chalky on me.

I was completely hung up on this idea so I decided on literal rose gold!! Hehehe…granted, this has nothing to do with the color but I still love how it came out! I am really happy with my stamping!

Enjoy my silliness!

 

ImageI used two coats of Julie G Gumdrops Gift of Gold as my base.

I stamped with Konad Special Polish in Red and Bundle Monster plate BM 323.

I love board games. I love Monopoly most but I’ll play all of them!

What do most board games have in common? Dice!

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Day 17: Animation

The only thing I could think about was Scooby-Doo but I’ve already done a couple of Scooby inspired manicures so I had to think of something different.

Quite a few people already did cartoon nails but I decided to give it a try.  This is my first attempt and I think they came out pretty well! I knicked my middle finger while it was drying and I couldn’t bring myself to re-do it. I actually re-did most of my nails because the orange kept smearing!

😦

I am not really a fan on this nail art on me. It makes my nails look shorter which in turn accentuates the current swelling in my fingers. I tried to manipulate the angle so you could not see the swelling. Regardless, I think it is a super cute look so I will try again when I am not in the middle of a flare and my nails are longer.

I used 2 coats of Color Club Twiggie and Milani Peacock as my base. 

I stamped with Color Club Wham! Pow! and Bundle Monster plate BM 311.

I used Milani Black Swift and butter London Cotton Buds for the other detailing.

(The more I look at this manicure, the more I think it is a fail…I like the idea behind it but the stamping makes the entire look messy. I think my index finger came out the best though…I don’t know…I will definitely revisit this manicure)

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Day 18: Sci-Fi!

The first thing that came to mind was Star Trek! I decided to go with a simple freehand design and pull out one of my favorite polishes from the cobwebs!

 

ImageI used 1 coat of Milani Black Swift as my base before adding a generous coat of butter London The Black Knight. I adore this polish. It is a galaxy in a bottle! I haven’t worn this nail color in months and I don’t know why! I thinned the formula with Zoya Renew. It is still thick but it self-levels with one coat. LOVE.

I used Sally Hansen Triple Shine Slick Black on my ring finger before free-handing the Star Trek logo with Essie No Place Like Chrome.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go Day 16: Doodles

Tags

, , , , , ,

I always had a tendency to day-dream and doodle in the side margins of my school notes, haven’t done it in a while but it was a great time-killer!

My freehand skills are still pretty messy but I think that adds to the “doodle” idea!

I used 2 coats of butter London Cotton Buds as my base.

I used Milani Sugar High on my pinky.

I “doodled” with Urban Outfitters Blue VelvetAmerican Apparel Parakeet, and Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas

Playing catch-up for the next few days. Worst flare in a year, could barely walk let alone work a nail polish brush 🙂 Hopefully I will be caught up in a few days.

For this theme, I also incorporated the Crumpet’s Tri-Polish Tuesday manicure!

I used 2 coats of Nails Inc. Foubert’s Place as my base.

I dotted with Color Club Mrs. Robinson and I stamped with Milani Dark Coffee and Bundle Monster plate BM 322.
