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!)

Instead of playing catch-up I decided to jump back in and continue from there.

I should really expand my ice cream horizons but I keep coming back to my mint chocolate chip ice cream!

I hope you like my mint-choco with whip manicure!

 

Bundle Monster's 5th Birthday Day 21: Ice CreamI used 3 coat of American Apparel Parakeet as my base.

I dotted with Milani Dark Coffee and sealed it with a coat of Seche Vite.

I stamped with Konad Special Polish White and Bundle Monster plate BM 307.

Wow, I slept. All. Day. I barely managed the manicure for today with no hope of catching up on the GOT or Bundle Monster challenges! Yikes! Hopefully, if I can’t catch up I can pick up them up again.

Anyways, I couldn’t think of anything other than a sponge gradient which I saw many other people did so I decided to up the ante and do a double sunset gradient with the sponge AND sugar-spin technique! Hehehe..

I like the opposing and opposite color gradients and I hope you do too!

My camera went nutsy with this, too much neon! (Which, of course, is never a bad thing!)

 

ImageI used 1 coat of Julie G White Orchid as my base.

I used a makeup sponge with (from cuticle to tip) Color Club Almost Famous, Wham! Pow!, Warhol, and Mrs. Robinson.

When I was happy with the results I sugar spun with the same polishes (minus Mrs. Robinson) in the opposite direction.

I love taking part in the Challenge Your Nail Art series (hosted by the lovely Jessica). The prompts are fun and it’s like a rigorous little burst of back-to-back manicures.

Today’s prompt is right up my alley. COLORS! I hope you like my picasso swirl!

 

ImageI used 1 coat of Julie G White Orchid as my base.

I picasso-swirled with a toothpick with (from cuticle to tip) American Apparel Neon Yellow, Neon Red and Pop Beauty Pacific Hoot.
