Tips - Elegant Bows

Inspired by another pin.

French Tip Dip Bright White, black acrylic and silver dotting.

Tips - Elegant Black & Pink

I was feeling some black tips, which have been a while since I've done.

Yet again, the best tips with only my French Tip Dip and simple Wet N Wild black and Color Club metallic pink.

Magnetic, stamped and Tipped!

Yep, I did it all!

My first magnetic polish that I picked up at RiteAid. 

Wasn't terribly impressed with the way the magnets worked but it still turned out decent.

Then I stamped over it and French Tip Dipped over that!

Before stamping...

with stamping...
thats a Bundle Monster plate and China Glaze Millenium

And the best part of the manicure...
the tips!

Tips - Black & Whote Polka Dot / TipFrench Tip Dip Wars!

The best tool ever is having a dipping war!

FRENCH TIP DIP

Here is what I went for...

All Wet N' Wild colors (black and white)

Oh, and if you're near a Rite Aid, check them out...might be on clearance. I got mine for $0.69 each!

I use these two colors so often and they are the best IMO so I stocked up and bought all they had :-)

And just for giggles, just the white tips (not, the white stripe on the black tips isn't with the tool - that was clearly freehand by a wobbly hand) ICKY stained nails! EWWWW!

Oh right, I also stamped the flutterby and pinned a rhinestone.

I feel like Im repeating everything! 

You all have seen all these techniques so do I really need  to explain it all?

Naw! Just ask if I don't say something you want to know :-p

Foils - RM Inspired Tips

Once I saw this post by Robin Moses, I knew I had to try it. 

I instantly went onto dollarnailart and bought a bunch.

The haul came in yesterday and OMG = heaven!

 (haul post coming soon).

These foils are just amazing. I wish I had bought more.

Anyway, I started with Finger Paints Asylum just to give my stained nail some bling lol.

Then I randomly and not perfectly on purpose, painted a black tip. Letting that dry, I randomly swipped the foil glue and let that dry about 2 minutes then added 3 different foil colors in Blue Fuchsia and purple. I also added black dots for a pretty accent.

Seriously, you must check out this site! Too bad my camera isnt better to catch the awesomeness of these colors!

Grave Digger

Wow holy delayed posts! Not by my choice. After the accident tuesday night, we ended up losing power and internet, phone and tv service until last night. With no power a few of the nights, I did skip a few manicures. 

Purple holo base color, red rhinestones for headlights, skull from flag.

 Monster Jam Grave Digger nails. These didn't turn out as cute as I wanted but still kinda cool.

Girly Bones

Yet another inspired manicure.

I almost passed on doing my nails last night as I was emotionally wore out from dealing with our neighbor getting into a quad accident. He is fight for his life right now and he's only 28 years old. Prayers for this young guy please everyone!

So I ended up with this manicure, nothing to do with the accident, just a mani I saw Professional IDQ's Bad Ass Funky Skulls. It was so cute! Im actually totally loving her channel!

 I added red rhinestones to the bog skull bones. This red is acrylic paint and it took like 4 coats to get it this red! I think my red has issues because it just doesnt have coverage like I expect acrylic paint to have. The white did just fine though. Go figure :-) I used Color Club Revvvoloution for the background swirls.

And the base color before the art. Super pretty! (although it would kick ass with a top coat)

Black base with micro red glitter, 3 coats for total even coverage.

Color Club Red Velvet

Tips - Scrangie Inspired

After an hour attempt at a fishnet fabric theme, i pulled it all off and gave up on fabrics for now.

I think I'll do some tips :-)

I have a whole file folder full of inspiration. Out of all of them, Scrangies fit my mood tonight. Plus it was super simple! Took me about 30 minutes to hunt down her link to this *phew*

Animals - Panda Bears

With some more inspiration from Simply Rins, I decided on Panda Bears.

I added a colored background as well as mouths on them. No where near perfect like hers but still cute :-)

I also added a Bamboo accent nail because no Panda is complete without food!

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!
