Ice Cream Sandwich Nails

Hey everyone!! How are you all doing? Today I have a manicure to show you guys that I've never really tried before, and I really like the way it turned out!  I started out with two coats of Nicole by OPI Kim-Pletely In Love (a sheer pink with blue shimmer) and then one coat of NOPI Rainbow In the S-Kylie (multicolored, different sized glitters) and another coat of Kim-Pletely in Love for a jelly effect.  Then I did a drip design with Wet n Wild Femme Fatale (hot pink with shimmer).  I've seen tutorials on how to do this, by hand painting the shapes, but I don't do it that way.  I use a dotting tool to draw the bottom of the drops and fill it in with the same dotting tool.
About the Nicole Kim Kardashian collection- I know I use it a lot, because I love the colors! The only problem is that I hate the Kardashian sisters, I don't know why their so famous honestly.  Also, the names of the polishes are so annoying.  I just felt like I had to get that out there.




My topcoat did some weird wrinkling or something for some reason.

On a side note, I think when I reach 100 followers I'll do a giveaway.  You guys just let me know what you think should be in it!

LA Colors - Shock

Today I did my mani, but I didn't have the light to take a picture.  Before I did it, I tried something else and didn't like it so I took it off and did the current one (which I will post tomorrow).  LA Colors Shock is a really bright tangerine jelly. It takes about 2 coats to get a nice jelly effect but there's still VNL showing so I reccomend 3 coats if you don't like that.  I personally do here.



It's a little more neon in real life.  Like it? :D

Rainstorm with Flowers

Today I used China Glaze Rainstorm, which I think is an old one, I'm not sure.  It's a super pretty almost periwinkle blue with shimmer and sparkles.  It's pretty sheer, so it required 3 coats.  On top of it is Essie Blanc stamped with BM- 214.  On my ring fingers was 5 red teardrop-shaped rhinestones in a circle that form a flower.  I know this week has been pretty boring, but not to worry, today I bought some nail art brushes so I can do some real art:)  Enjoy!

Hey Guys!

Hmm I haven't really been posting much lately.  Sorry for that, I just don't really feel up to it.  The weather here in Raleigh is really crazy, this week it's been in the 30's and today it was a high of 80 degrees!  Very strange.  I feel like you viewers are getting bored with my posts maybe? Suggestions would be awesome to make my blog better.  It really makes my day when you guys comment on my posts so that would be so much appreciated! Anyway, I did a manicure with this color I have on but the sunlight went away while I was doing it so I couldn't take pictures of the design, but it will be up tomorrow.  I used a new polish I bought, OPI's Guy Meets Gal-Veston.  Don't we just love these names? It's very jelly-ish and it takes a few coats to get a true color.  I used 3, but my pictures only got to 2 before the sun set.

 These above are the first coat, and below is second.
