Blue Leopard Print

I figured out how to do leopard print the other day (well I knew how, just never actually did it) & I am loving how easy it is! I did a blue one this time!



I used:
Color Club - Take me to your Chateau
OPI - No Room For The Blues

On another note, I bought a Helmer off of craigslist. I didn't want to assemble it so it was a great find! I will post pictures soon!

15. Viva La Nails

Soo I know I have been sucking at updating my blog... SORRY! I got out of school and have been taking advantage of the great August weather in Seattle. I received Viva La Nails Sample Pack on Friday last week and decided I should finally fix my nails lol. I went to a Seahawks game last Saturday, so I decided I should do a mani for it. Here it is! I used Color Club - Wild Child, a blue Art Club (didn't have a name), and some stars I got from Viva La Nails!




The stars didn't stay on too well, they didn't bend at all so they kind of stuck out. It was kind of annoying too because I have long hair and my nails kept getting stuck in my hair because of the stars....This was taken 2 days after the mani (a day after the football game, which we lost). I can't wait to use the rest of the products I got from Viva La Nails!

10. Hottie French

I didn't have enough time to re-do my mani so I decided instead to just add Sinful Colors - Hottie and make a french tip. It's not very pretty since I did this in a rush, but I wanted to show you guys anyways incase you were looking for some ideas. I used an Art Club striper with it also, I don't know what the name of the color is because I bought it at Ross in a pack.

I've been getting a few paper cuts at work, so excuse the cut :x

Here's what I used:

I really like Sinful Colors' glitters because they have holo & colored glitter and have sheer colored bases. They're really great for layering. Also Art Club stripers work well for me, I once tried Sally's Beauty Supply Stripers and the brush was ick.

9. Take Me to Your Chateau

I've had a cold these past few days, I am getting better but I couldn't do my nail for awhile. Right now my nails are just plain Color Club - Take Me to Your Chateau. It was difficult to put on, I tried my best to do the thinnest coats as possible but there was still dragging. It took me 3 coats to get it somewhat even. But it is a very pretty color, I've been getting compliments all day!


I've also been at my mom's and none of my nail polish is there so it sucks. I'm at UW right now for the night then returning to my mom's tomorrow. I want to bring nail polish home but I have to take the bus and it's kind of a hassle. poooop.

Haul, Tutorial

I went to Bed, Bath, & Beyond after work on Friday. I haven't been there since they added nail polish (or was it always there?) but anyways here is what I got:

Essie - Turquoise & Caicos, Color Club - Take me to Your Chateau, Color Club - Fashion Addict, Art Club - Silver Glitter.

I really wanted CC - Take me to Your Chateau after seeing Chanel's Spring 2010 promo pics. I will probably use it next! I also wanted Art Club - Silver Glitter because UW Football season is coming up and my old silver glitter ran out last season :(

This week Polish Hoarder Disorder's had a challenge called Color Accent. This was my entry:

I wanted to do a tutorial on how I did this, just in case anyone was wondering :)

1. Paint all of your nails with China Glaze - Recycle
   
2. While the middle finger is still wet use 4 small pink rhinestones and make a square. I used the pointy end of an orange stick dipped in top coat to pick up the rhinestones.
   
3. Use big clear (white, what would you call them?) rhinstones and outline the smaller ones.
   
4. Paint the tips of your pointer and ring finger with Sinful Colors - I Miss You.
   
5. Cover the french tip line with the same pink rhinestones you used for the middle finger, while I Miss You is still wet.
   
6. Paint over China Glaze - Recycle with Sinful Colors - I Miss You on the thumb and pinky.
   
7. Cover all fingers with Top Coat & make sure to use a lot over the rhinestones so they don't fall!
   

These are the things I used:

8. + Rhinestones

Twiggie is so hard to capture on camera, such a pain... My last post is closer to the real color. But anyways of course I couldn't have just a plain mani (I get bored and start decorating my nails), so I decided to use the new flower rhinestones and a nail striper. This is the creation:

& a close-up:


I love using rhinestone just because they're so easy to put on & they're sparkly. I love anything sparkly!

7. Twiggie

I didn't use any of the konad plates yet, whenever I experiment it's a big fail. It's really discouraging... I guess I just need to practice. Anyways I am wearing Color Club - Twiggie. It's a neon green that is also pastel. Does that makes sense? I'm not sure but it's one of my favorite greens!

Here is a close-up:

Today when I went to my internship my boss asked if I wanted this bottle of nail polish. This is the second bottle she's given to me. She's the best!!

This is OPI - At First Sight. It's very sheer I will probably use it for a pedi sometime soon.

5. Blinged Out Purple

I used Color Club - Pucci-licious, 3 coats, and added pink & purple rhinestones. :)



In other news, my best friend Wyman is in Hong Kong right now and I asked him to get me some GOSH nail polish & he found Rainbow & Gasoline! :) This is a picture he took:



They're so pretty! I won't see him until September though so I won't see these babies for awhile :(
