Deborah Lippmann, freehand, Nail Art, Sephora by OPI, Serum No 5, sugar-spun

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.

butter London, Formula X Sephora, Milani, Nail Art Ideas Linkup, Sephora by OPI, Serum No 5, Zoya

I have NOOO idea what I was going for with this manicure. I kept on layering glitters until I liked the final product!

 

ImageI started glitter from the get-go with my one of my favorites – 2 coats of butter London The Black Knight.

On my index and pinky I used Milani Hot Pink, Serum No 5 Happy Special Day!, Fallen and Sephora by OPI Be-Claus I Said So.

On my middle and ring I used Sephora by OPI Come to Pappa-razzi!, Zoya Maria Luisa, Formula X for Sephora Bombshell, and Serum No 5 Happy Special Day!.

Born Pretty Store, Essie, Nail Art, Sephora by OPI, Serum No 5, Sinful Colors, water decals

It’s still freezing!

 

Image

 

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!

I have not been feeling a lot of details lately so I went simple for the last few days.

Two coats Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas. 

Two sheer coats Serum No 5 Forest Lights.

I dotted with Essie No Place Like Chrome and added a little blue bead in the middle.

Nfu Oh, Serum No 5, Zoya

I was in the layering mood and kept adding coats of anything that interested me!

I forgot to snap a picture of the two base colors which looked very cool together. The effect was lost after I added the glitter toppers.

Image

I used 2 coats Zoya Dream and 1 sheer coat Nfu Oh Opal Nfu 51 as my base.

I added a coat of Zoya Maria Luisa and a coat of Serum No 5 Happy Special Day!
