More Gradients??!

Yes, more gradients.  I like them, it's really easy and pretty.  Today I chopped off my nails because I'm having some serious tears going on in my right hand.  I like it this length, I don't remember the last time they were so short!  I'm in a super good mood because I got asked out last night by someone I've had a crush on for a long time:)  Anyways, the mani today is using Petites Island Smoothie which is a metallic sheer baby pink, then Wet n Wild fastdry Tangled in My Web which is a cool black sparkle that I added some smaller black sparkles to, and finally Sally Hansen Black Out.


Have a nice week:)

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!

Gettin Busy!

In the past like 2 days I've swatched quite a few polishes. Revlon Whimsical, the ever popular Deborah Lippman dupe for Glitter in the Air.  It's very sheer and I was smart enough to not put a base color and I didn't like it by itself:( This is 3 coats.
 It looks ok in these pictures but looking straight on it it's very pukey.

Next is Spoiled by Wet & Wild Pirate booty.  This is actually 4 coats because I don't think it's meant to be a full glitter, just top coat.  The brushes in these are SO annoying.  Formula is ok, not too crazy about the drying time.  It peeled off (well, I peeled it off) in a day so I took it off today.

 Then I put this on: it's just a franken of mine made of topcoat and little shredded gold pieces.

 The next polish (I'm putting it on right now!) I will post tomorrow.  I'm not telling what it is but I'll give you a hint: it's holo:)
Take care!

Grey's Anatomy or... Holy mother of multichromes!

I am so happy about how this turned out.  Grey's Anatomy by Wet n Wild is a really freaking cool multichrome that is a purple-grey in most lighting, then turn it and it's green! Like magic:)  Multichromes really are my favorite kind of polish.  I used either 3 or 4 coats of it, I can't remember.  Then I stamped plate BM-203 with China Glaze Platinum Silver.  It made just the perfect subtle stamp:)  I am super satisfied with this, especially after a few not so good manis.
Picture time!! *Warning, many, many pictures ahead*









Have a nice weekend!
