Go Go Green!

Hi all! I'm on vacation right now but thought I would share the green combos I tried out for St. Patty's Day just before I left.

This is a base of pearly lime green by Mabeline which I think was called 'Go-Go Green' and topped with a green and gold glitter by Sinful Colors (I have no idea what the name is sorry lol).

I liked using this light base to make the dark green and gold glitters pop. Unfortunately it looked horrible on my skin tone so I only wore it for the pictures.

Here's a close up of that yummy glitter :D

Week 10 Polka Dot Mani

I just love this one! We are headed out to Disneyland in two more days so I thought I would do a test run on my Disney themed mani.

I started with two coats of Milani 'Ready to Wear Red', added some white dots with WnW 'White Cream' and a dotting tool and then I did the transfer technique for the mini mouse designs on my ring fingers. I think I may do a tutorial on how to do those if anyone is interested.

The dots aren't perfect but from a distance they look fairly uniform I think.

This Milani shade is very pretty but a smidge dark for Mini Mouse. I think and I will probably be using a lighter shade of red for next week

Here's the right hand. I couldn't have even come close to getting this design on my right hand if I tried to  freehand it! This is the first time I tried the transfer and you can bet I will be using it again!

Whatcha think? Are you Disney fans? Ever been to Disneyland? Have any tips for us during the trip?

Week 9 Vintage Nails

So, here I am again posting my challenge on the last day of the week. Sorry gals, I'm still just in the dumps about the passing of my sweet dog. It's been hard to enjoy things the last couple weeks but each day it's a little less sad. I also spent the first three days of this week in a conference from 7:30-6:30 so there hasn't been time for too much fun lately.

Any who, here is my interpretation of 'Vintage' nails :)

I used Ulta 'Gentle Ginger' as a base and stamped with Sally Hansen's 'Coco-a-go-go'

When I thought of vintage I kept going back to vintage clothing or wallpaper lol. So here is my 'vintage wallpaper'.

Here is a shot of Ulta 'Gentle Ginger' by itself. It went on a little streaky but it is a truly beautiful cream. This is the first cream I have worn that actually compliments my skin tone.
