Can I have a thing? I love Sugar-Spun and Picasso Swirl…okay, two things. I love these techniques and I always love the outcomes!

For this week’s FingerFood Theme (freestyle) I tried a plaid/criss-cross sugar-spin…I also experimented with mixing the colors together…I hope you like it!

I used 2 coats Sephora by OPI Metro Chic, 1 coat butter London Knackered, and a generous coat of Milani Sugar High as my base.

I sugar-spun with Milani Peacock and Sephora by OPI Go My Own Way.

I love me some Picasso Swirl! Not as much as sugar-spun…but very very close!

I hope you enjoy my last March TPC design! (Facebook group linked here).

 

ImageI used 1 coat of butter London Cotton Buds and 1 coat of Seche Vite as my base.

(Question: Has anyone else had a problem with Cotton Buds clumping in certain places under top coat?)

 

I used a toothpick and Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas (green), Ms. Can’t be Wrong (purple) and Go My Own Way (blue).

I LOVE HOW ELECTRIC THIS IS!

Can you tell how excited I am?

I love this. So. Much.

I hope you do too!

 

ImageI used 3 coats of Cult Nails Deal With It and 1 sheer coat of Milani Twinkle as my base.

I first dotted with Urban Outfitters Blue Velvet (blue) and Color Club Mrs. Robinson (purple) before sugar spinning with the opposite.

While the dots do not always show up I love how they sometimes peek through.

Here is my submission for the last day of the Get Lucky Nail Art Challenge!

The leaves don’t really look like shamrocks…but I like how it came out and the colors are St. Patrick’s Day-related!

Enjoy!

 

ImageI used 1 coat of Sinful Colors Chick Chick and 2 coats Sinful Colors All About You as my base.

I detailed with Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas and Wet n Wild Black Creme.

Gold, glitter, gumdrops!

And then I realized I did a(n) very similar exactly the same manicure for a NAILinkup with a different base. Oops…

I hope you it enjoy it (again)! 😉

 

ImageI used 2 coats of butter London Tea with the Queen as my base.

I used 1 coat of Zoya Maria Luisa on top followed by a half coat (starting at the middle to tips) of Sephora by OPI Jewelry Top Coat Come to Pappa-razzi!

I dotted with Julie G Gumdrops Gift of Gold on the tips.

Jessica from Be Happy and Buy Polish is hosting a four-day nail challenge! (Facebook group is linked here). The first prompt is “Shades of Green”.

I love the Sugar-Spun technique. It is so much fun and happy. Pair those with bright greens and glitters and they make for a very happy Monica!

Enjoy!

 

ImageI started with 2 coats of Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas as my color base. (Teehee, I used CND green Stickey as my base coat!)

I added one coat of Deborah Lippmann’s Wicked One Short Day over my index, middle and pinky finger. 

I used a generous coat of Serum No 5 Forest Lights on my ring finger. 

I “sugar spun” with Sephora by OPI It’s Totally Karma.
