31DC Day 1: Red

Hey everyone! So today marks the start of the 31 day challenge! To start things off we have red nails! For this, I used two coats of Wet N Wild #414A Red Red as my base. 

 

Then, I stamped on some small stars on each nail, using L'OREAL Paparazzi Pleaser.

30 Day NBA Challenge Day #4-LA Clippers

For day 4 of the NBA challenge, the team is the Los Angeles Clippers.
Official team colors: Red, Royal Blue, White (I just used red and blue.)
Result:

I really, really liked this one! I don't know why, but I just really liked how it looked. For the base coat, I used two coats of Wet N Wild #414A Red Red, which, alone, looks really good.

Then, after letting that dry, I took out my stamping kit and found this linear design I liked. I used Wet N Wild #445DP Sapphire Blue to stamp the design on my ring fingers.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

30 Day NBA Challenge Day #3-San Antonio Spurs

Today, day 3 of the 30 day basketball challenge, is the San Antonio Spurs. 

Official team colors: Black, Silver, White. 

The result:

The first step I did was really unnecessary and just a waste of my time. I painted a coat of NYC #134 French White Tip. I thought it would need it because the silver might have been transparent, but the silver was really good and didn't need any base coat in my opinion. 

Then I painted 1 coat of Jordana #610 Sassy Silver over the white.

After the silver dried, I took out my stamping kit and found something that kind of looked like a spur. I used Wet N Wild #424A Black Creme to stamp a "spur" on my accent nail, the ring finger.

Hope you like it & thanks for looking :)

Cherry Blossoms?

So the other day, I painted my nails a light, minty green color. It reminded me of the Arizona Iced Tea Green Tea can, and I definitely wanted to do a design on my nails like that. :)

So as I was rummaging through my nail polishes to find my brown, I realized I threw it away a long time ago because it dried up. :( I did improvise, though, and this is what I came up with:

I used Revlon Top Speed fast-drying nail polish in Jaded. This nail polish was a good investment. Application was so smooth and this is only 2 coats.

Then, I used China Glaze "Don't Touch My Tiara" to stamp on a branch design on my ring fingers. If I had more time, I would have probably done this on all of my nails, but I really like how this came out and I like the color combo.

Hopefully one day I'll try an Arizona green tea mani :)

Some Zebra Stamping

Hey guys :)
So for this one I just decided do do some zebra stamping on a hot pink polish.
I went to Sally's beauty supply to buy a new black nail polish, because all the ones I have really aren't that good for stamping, and I found an Orly on sale. It came with a cute little filer with lace on the back too! :) So, I thought it was perfect, and I bought it. When I got in the car and was on may way home, I realized it was a deep navy blue, but I thought I'd try it on my nails anyway. So here's what I got:

I did a base coat and then used NYC (New York Colors) Fuchsia Shock Creme on all of my nails. After that, I added a top coat to let it dry faster.

Then, using Orly Le Chateau, I stamped some zebra print. I wish this color would have been darker than what came out on my nails. Hope you guys like it though! :)
