OMD2 - Day 2: coral

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.

Twinsie Tuesday - Funky French

Hey lovely readers...it's Tuesday again and that means it's Twinsie Tuesday. This week's theme is Funky French! Go figure, my nail on my ring finger would break right before a French manicure. I had no idea what I wanted to do for this week's theme. I went back and forth several times. I'm not that crafty but here's what I came up with. I started with a base coat of LA Colors then added my French tip using China Glaze Shower Together and the side of a paintbrush.

Normally Toro is not in the background of my pics but he looked so cute watching me.

Then I used my dotting tool and added Sinful Colors Dream on.

Finally, I topped it of with an unnamed Claire's glitter. I think it is from the Precious Metals collection.

I look forward to seeing my Twinsies' Funky French manicures!

52 Week Challenge - Week 2 - French Tip Mani

no flash, sunlight from window

 The last time I did a French Tip Mani was for job observation/follow up interview. I went with the "pink and white" look and used tape to achieve my straight lines. For this challenge, I opted to go without the tape and just use a paintbrush (seen in the last picture). Considering that, I don't think this French Tip turned out that bad.

 The little bottle of pink polish was from the Dollar Tree in a set of 3 designed for French Manicures. It's on the thick side and brush strokes can be seen.

Current Nails: French Mani

 If you follow my personal blog, I uploaded one of these pics for project365. I had another appointment that needed "professional" nails so I went with a classic French Mani. I intended for this to be a "pink and white" for Pink Wednesday but my 10 professional Perfectly Pink wasn't pink enough (After I painted my nails, I added more drops of pink to get what I call "perfectly pink", so that's why it's a deeper pink in the bottle than on my nails). I achieved this mani with tape otherwise the line wouldn't be as straight. I haven't had a "classic" french mani on my nails since I used to get acrylics back in 2005.
