Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired by Nature (OMD2 - Day 21)
Hey everyone, I've been a little busy taking a class and balancing an 8 hour work day too. Yesterday I had a horrible headache and toothache plus homework. Needless to say, I didn't get a chance to do today's theme inspired by nature. I didn't want to not post anything so I'm stretching the theme and using yesterday's OMD theme of animal print because animals are found in nature.... Yea it's a stretch. Please be sure to check out my fellow Twinsies for actual nails inspired by nature.
Bonus points for me, my instructor and class mate commented these nails last night. :)

Nail Challenge Collaborative - Recreate first 4 nail designs (1)
Hey everyone happy Saturday! I am now apart of the Nail Challenge Collaborative. Every month there is a new theme and participants post 4 nail designs corresponding with each theme. This month's theme is to recreate our first 4 nail designs. It's almost embarrassing to dig through my archives of my first attempts at "nail art". My very first nail design was my birthday mani of 2011.
I used the same polish, Sinful Colors Cream Pink but switched up the glitter using Sinful Colors All About You. My cupcake was done using LA Colors Art Deco in White and Limon as well as Rimmel Wild Orchid and China Glaze Fairy Dust.

Twinsie Tuesday/ OMD2 Day 15 : One Stroke flowers/abstract
Happy Tuesday everyone. I'm really excited about today's post just because I like how it turned out. Originally, I was going to do two separate posts but due to the prompts and time I grouped them together.

OMD2 Day 9 - Jelly
Hey everyone, Happy Wednesday! Today's theme is jelly and I wanted to finally try a pond manicure. I've seen this done by a few bloggers I follow by credit goes to Olive View Fashion. My first design I did is Mickey heads using a dotting tool. Sinful Colors Bianca isn't necessarily a "jelly" but it does apply sheer and is squishy. This is 3 layers of Bianca and Mickey heads.

OMD2 - Day 8: Shimmer/Twinsie Tuesday: Stripes
Happy Tuesday everyone!! I'm combining my Twinsie Tuesday with OMD2. The theme for TT is stripes and for OMD2 is shimmer. First let's take a look at my very first Cult Nails swatch, this is two coats of Angel Wings. My my what a beautiful soft pink shimmer. It wasn't difficult to apply and dries like a texture polish.
Next I dug in my drawer to find a shimmer that matched to add stripes. I decided on Sinful Colors Cinderella. I think these two colors compliment each other nicely.
Be sure to check out the rest of the Twinsies for their stripes manicures.

OMD2 - Day 7: holographic
Hey everyone, I hope your Monday was good. Mine was decent, pretty much the same as always.
Today's prompt was holographic. Lucky for me, I just received my birthday swap gift from Anna at Goingtotheshowing. She sent me Color Club Cloud Nine. It's so stunning in the bottle, I stared at it for awhile. I used two coats without a base coat. Then I used Sinful Colors Whipped to make dots. I filled those dots in with Cloud Nine. I LOVE how this turned out. Thank you so much Anna.

OMD2 - Day 6: Duochrome
Hey everyone, today's prompt is duochrome. I started with 3 coats of OPI Just spotted the Lizard. Next I added Mickey heads and dots using Sinful Shine Dark Room and finished by adding a touch of Sally Hansen Bronze Ablaze. I was going for a mix of cheetah/leopard spots and Mickey heads but it just looks like dots and Mickey heads. Either way, I like how it turned out.

4th of July 2014 nails
My nails were simple for 4th of July this year. I wore Wet n Wild French White Creme topped with Sally Hansen Red, White Hue. Maybe next year I'll try something more detailed.
OMD2 Day 4: bright
Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you had a great day with families and friends. I sure did.
Today's prompt is bright. I went with one of the brightest polishes I have, Sinful Colors Pink. Pink is my staple summer polish, especially on my toes. I then added LA Colors Fruity, which is hexagonal neon glitters in a clear base. My last step was to add some lines using LA Color stripers in Limon, Yellow and Flamingo. I really like how this turned out.

OMD2 - day 3: Lavender
Day 3 is lavender. I was inspired by niece4's shirt. I did a gradient and stamped over it. I started with Sinful Colors Sweet Tooth then sponged on Rimmel Wild Orchid. I stamped using Wet n Wild French White Creme.

Hey everyone, it's day 2 of the OMD2 challenge. I combined a few corals for today's nails. I started with Sinful Colors Orange Cream, stamped with Wet n Wild Love me Some Muscles and added a french tip with Pure Ice Twinkle. At first, I didn't like how it came out but I like how it looks in pictures.

OMD2 - Day 1: Mint
Hey everyone, it's July! This month I'm participating in the 2nd OMD nail art challenge. Here's a look at the prompts and my first entry to the challenge/giveaway.
I started with 2 coats of Sinful Colors Sheer then used striping tape to make triangles. I filled in the space with Sally Hansen Mint Tint. The last picture is Mint Tint by itself.
Twinsie Tuesday - skittles
Good morning everyone, I'm sorry my post is over 30 minutes late. Last night the electric went out at 6pm and didn't come back on until 1am. It was horrible because all my electronic devices were dead. There once was a time when the electricity would go out and we'd have something to entertain ourselves with, now we felt lost without our devices and wifi. Anyways....
Today's post is a skittle manicure. I chose to focus on patriotic colors for the upcoming holiday here in the states. I used Sinful Colors Hot Hot Heat, Sally Hansen Pacific Blue and Wet n Wild French White Creme. My glitters are both from Sally Hansen, Beach Ball and Red White Hue. Red White Hue is easier to work with than Beach Ball. Thanks to one of my fellow Twinsies for the idea to sponge the Sally Hansen matte glitters. I know I've seen that tip around but they pointed out that it works wonders for these glitters.
