Tips - Neon Glitter

Inspired by a manicure I saw on Pinterest. Although that one was acrylic so it looked perfect.

Mine came out too thick because of all the layers of glitter I applied to try and get the same affect. Needless to say, I only wore this manicure half a day because the thickness bugged me so bad. But It was a cute idea at least.

Tiger Striped Pink Tips

Another fun french tip manicure.

I decided I loved y last tips with crazy color combos so I went crazy color with these too!

But first, the base in Avon something blue with hand painted stripes in black

Then the awesome tips added with the French Tip Dip

Triangle Heart Tips

It's been a while since I did a manicure off the top of my head without any inspiration so I decided upon it a few nights ago. This is my result. Not too shabby!

I'm loving all the sparkle but in natural light they were almost too busy. I should have opted out of the base KleanColor glitter. And I was a little worried about how the tips would look with my nails being all stubby now but it worked out well. All in all, I liked them!

I did these Friday night but Sunday night, I re-did them so I have a fresh heart manicure to show you tonight. Maybe even today if I get around to it :-)

Purple, purple and more purple + Tutorial

Yea, its purple manicure time. I did these 2 nights ago and they're still chip free. Hence why I didnt post a new mani last night. Check out these purdy mamas with tutorial to follow.

For this manicure, grab a light base color.

I chose Avon Loving Lavender.

Then add a sparkly tip in a darker but same color glitter.

I chose Color Club Tru Passion.

Then with an even darker shade in the same color, draw a stripe across the bottom of your glitter edge.

I chose Love & Beauty Dark Purple.

Then with that same darkest color, draw 45 degree angled stripes. I did 2 on each finger except for my middle finger as that is the accent nail.

Then take a silver glitter and go between your dark stripes. I also added a stripe below the purple one on the accent nail.

Here i chose Kiss nail art paint in silver.

Then I added a light purple fimo bow on the accent nail along with a clear rhinestone on its center.

Then a light purple and clear rhinestone on every other nail.

Chose two color rhinestones that match what colors you chose.

Top coat and you're done!

Doesn't this look like it belongs in a glue on box in the stores? I LOVE it!

Tips - Glitter Pinkle

A day behind, dang it! I was busy sorting through nail polish to get my sale going. Phew!

You'll be seeing a post soon about my sale/swap, so keep your eyes peeled! LOTS of goodies!

Even kitty helped :-)

Now onto the tips. I have a whole file folder full of styles I want to try but the past few nights I've been so busy that I've needed to find more simpler ones so I'm not up so late. I still didn't get last nights mani posted then or today. So this is last nights. Tonight mani you'll get tomorrow.

Now how awesome is my Pinkle name! Best describes this color!

Wet N Wild baby!

Mustn't forget the hand painted flowers with teal rhinestones :-)

Happy New Year!

Happy New year everyone!

I did this manicure last night but was so tired, I skipped blogging it until today.

I also strayed from my week of animals so I could be festive for tonight but don't worry, I still have 2 more days of animals to come!

Today's manicure is especially for New Years. The dropping ball and fireworks!

I skipped adding all the polished I used because there were a lot. Phew! 

Happy New year everyone and stay safe!

Snowflake Tips

Yes! Another tipped manicure! I should start calling it Tipmania :-p

Today's inspiration came right from I'm Feeling Nail-venturous. Came across her manicure and again, like last nights mani, couldn't get it out of my head. Certain ideas just get stick there and I have to try them or else it will bug me! I'm so glad I did them because WOW! She had such an amazing idea and even on me, I think it came out awesome!

The goodies to get this done

*2 tip coats of China Glaze Bahamian Escape

*2 tip coats Sinful Colors Hottie

*1 coat China Glaze Fairy Dust

*Stamped with Bundle Monster plate 14 in SH Insta-Dri Whirlwind White

*Off brand blue rhinestones

More goodness

I added the rhinestones for a lil extra bling so I wasn't totally copying IFNV and plus, I've been really enjoying rhinestone accents lately.

Hottie applied in a gel-like application. It made my tips a bit thicker than the rest of the nail bed but a thick top coat kind of evened it out. It turned out beautiful over Bahemian Escape and Fairy Dust over it though :-)

Tiara Tips

Not exactly holiday colors but for some reason, teal does remind me of Christmas when I was little.

My mom had bought a large package of wrapping paper that had these glittery teals, purples, pinks and greens in it. So it does remind me at least. 

I originally got inspired by My Nail Graffiti's manicure but went with a teal tip instead of a blue tip. Both look great I think though. She did an amazing job.

 

 The products I used

*2 coats OPI Yodel Me On My Cell base color and tips

*1 coat China Glaze Loreli's Tiara glitter coat

(I feel kinda naked without any art or embellishments or rhinestones but I was pooped after 3 hours of wrapping presents and only being half way done)

More pics

You can kind of see Yodel peeking through Tiara, yea? I thought Yodel as a base gave it a really pretty hue to it :-)

Tiara also applied really nice. Even with one coat of top coat, its not too rough like many glitters. I must say, I am impressed!

Looks gorgeous in natural sunlight but my camera is just no good for capturing that.

Sugar Plum Presents

Bought this Color Club Sugar Plum Yum a while back and have been needing to use it. 

I'm kinda impressed with the scent. Even with a thick top coat, I can still smell the fruitiness of it!

Chunky as all get out though.

I also added a present accent nail. The purple base seemed to bleed into the silver ribbon though so it looks like purple silver :-s 

Darn manicures never come out the way I intended! Still eye candy though!

Check her out!
