Hi Guys,

Sorry again for another late posting.  I have been so busy but I finally had the time to do this manicure for you.  I'm happy the way this turned out.  I hope you don't get dizzy looking at the swirls. Lol! 

I used Stamping plate DRK-A I thought my swirl design was the closes I could get to the logo

Red: SinfulColors GoGo Girl the texture is like an inky red jelly if that makes sense

Black: SinfulColors Black on Black

White: SinfulColors Snow Me White used 2 coats

Silver:  Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep.  It's fantastic to use for stamping!

Before stamping I applied 2 coats of white, 1 coat for the red and black

New Trend Water Colour Nails

Good Morning,

I'm excited to show you this new trend: Water Colour Nails.  I initially saw it on BeautyGeeks website.  I'm trying to get into doing more nail art so I thought I should give this look a try.  Not to bad if I can say so myself.   Just simply add dots of color and blot it with acetone using a makeup brush.

These are the polishes I used

I bought Whirlwind White at CVS during the sale.  Glad I did it's a nice opaque white. Used 2 coats.

Just think of all the color combo possibilities for this look.   What are your thoughts?

Moon, Bronze and Flowers

Good Morning,

After stopping at the post office to drop off a package I wasn't quite ready to go home so I stopped into a Walgreen's that I haven't been to for awhile.  I found SH Xtreme Wear Pumpkin Spice.  I then saw a new display of SH Insta-Dri's and picked up the last Bronze Ablaze. It's a bronze shimmer with a hint of green.   In the store it sorta looked like Chanel's Peridot but, as you can see on the nail it's not a dupe.

I for one love all colors but sometimes they might not be the right color for my skintone.  So,  what did I do...added other colors that compliment my skintone.

Next time you see a color or want it go ahead and pick it up and play with it.  

The dots are a lovely teal creme by Ruby Kisses (no name on bottle) 

I used konad stamp plate M82 with white special polish

The moon is a nude color by OPI Tickle My Francey it's my go to color. To get the moon I used reinforcements

Do you buy colors that doesn't compliment your skintone?

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Rocking My Pink on Wednesday with Instant Iris

Good Morning,

I'm rocking my Pink in the middle of the week!  I have on Sally Hansen Insta-Dri 32 Instant Iris.  Such a beautiful magenta pink with a flash of purple.  No problems with the formula.  I am loving  the flat mop brush on these Insta-Dri's because it covers the nail well while polishing.  Only needed 2 coats.

Go Green Friday! Chartreuse Chase

(Live Green, Love Green, Think Green)

This year is going so fast I can't believe it's April already! We are getting lots of rainstorms this week.  Near my neighborhood a big tree was uprooted from the ground and is lying down in the road.  It's a good thing it didn't fall right on top of the house.  Yikes!  Lots of wind! and it's not even hurricane season yet.  Oh boy...

I picked up a few *New* Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's from Target.  When I saw Chartreuse Chase I just had to bring it home with me.  I like saying the word "Chartreuse".  Chartreuse. Lol!

Chartreuse Chase is a beautiful lime-y yellow green with mint green shimmer flashing through it.  The first coat was alittle streaky but not hard to control.  I love the wide flat brush too.  3 coats was just enough. It's definitely a spring color and I am rocking it today! ~_^

Chartreuse Chase

I love it so much!

Going Green Tip: Don't get bottled water - Instead of bottled water get a reusable container to carry water. Also you can get a filter to make your home tap taste more like bottled water. It is definitely more cost efficient.
