When I set out to paint my nails today, I had no clear cut idea of what I wanted to do so I grabbed a ton of colors and went to town!

Even though the black polish went pretty thick I love the 3D look it adds to this manicure! I have to gush about this look, I Really Really LOVE it!
3 coats Sephora by OPI Metro Chic as my base.
Dots done with Urban Decay Naked Toasted, Smog, and Hustle.
1 coat Seche Vite.
I do not own striping tape so I cut up small pieces of masking tape.
1 thick coat Wet n Wild Black Creme.

I love this theme! I will probably do a couple more because I may have an unhealthy addiction to Pinterest (which I can never spell or say correctly!)
This manicure is inspired by Let Them Have Polish’s Cling-Wrap Skittle Manicure! (seen here)
Enjoy!
While Cristina cling-wrapped the entire look, I actually sponged the colors underneath before cling-wrapping the white. I also dabbed on a glitter topper to unify the look.

I am not sure whether this challenge is open to everyone but I saw it first on Vic & Her Nails!
I was inspired by the prompt so I decided to do a manicure for it, regardless! 🙂
The light in the room where I usually take my photos is slowly losing juice so I’m wandering around my house trying to find the best lighting. Please hang in there with me for a little while!
3 coats Sephora by OPI Mr. Right Now as my base.
Sugar-spun and dots with Color Club Wham! Pow! and Almost Famous.

On my day off there was a Scooby-Doo marathon! Best day off. Ever.
During the 31-Day Challenge back in September I did a Scooby-inspired manicure, seen here. I really liked how it came out so I decided to revisit it.
I did not want to copy it exactly but it is very similar!
Polishes Used:
I initially only added the matte coat to the pinky and I loved loved loved how it looked so I decided to go with all of them. I only really like how the pinky came out. I should have kept the rest glittery. Ah well.

It’s still freezing!
2 coats Sephora by OPI Go My Own Way as my base.
1 coat Essie On a Silver Platter on my ring finger.
1 coat Sinful Colors Nail Junkie over all nails. It is an extremely sheer jelly and sort of turned the Sephora polish a little more turquoise. I love how it looks on the ring finger.
1 coat Serum No 5 Happy Special Day!
Decal from Born Pretty Store. I was a little nervous about how it would look because the colors did not match but it came out really cute!

Arctic Brrrrr! The good thing about walking dogs in the cold is they enjoy the cold even less than I do and they take as little time as possible to do their business! Woot!
I went with something simple today. Apologies on the horrendous photo…I could not for the life of me find good lighting or snap a good photo (not sure why but it came out really grainy) 😦
I really like the manicure so I decided to post it anyways!
3 coats Zoya Crystal as my base.
I dabbed a generous amount of Sephora by OPI Jewelry Top Coat Lights, Glammer-A, Action! on the tips and a little down the middle of the nail.
I “sugar-spun” with Julie G White Orchid and Essie No Place Like Chrome.
