31 Day Challenge: Day 2, Orange Nails

Trying my hand at stamping. I have to give mad props to those ladies who have mad stamping skills. It is hard. I guess if I keep practicing, I can get better. 

My base color is Sally Hansen's Insta-dri in Orange Impulse

Traveling Polka-dots, China Glaze Peachy Keen

I used China Glaze, Peachy Keen. Very pretty color. The dots were made with the

dotting tool in two different colors, China Glaze Snow and China Glaze Refreshmint. 

Thanks for looking :)

Sunny Gradient

I used the Zoya Surf and Beach colors for this one, Myrta and Arizona. Arizona took more than 3 coats for opacity! I should've used white as a base, but my camera picks up everything, when I think the white base is covered, my camera says otherwise. I probably just have to get better at covering it up.

I stamped used WnW's I red a book. This was my second go at a gradient mani. It is getting easier. I used a makeup sponge and painted both colors and dabbed, and dabbed some more.

Summer Fun Challenge, Day 7: Summer Stylin

I used 4 main colors, Orly's Old School Orange,  Wet n Wild's Saved by the Blue and Silvivor, Julep's Nessa (yellow). The flowers are from acrylic paint.

This shirt reminds me of Hawaii, and it is the brightest thing I have for summer. I love the color combo.

Don't forget to follow for more nail love.

Let's Eat Sushi

Let's Eat Sushi by Spoiled is another bright orange (just can't get enough). I no longer will use Seche Vite and it makes me sad b/c it works so well. That will be another topic in the near future. I used Sally Hansen's Insta-Dry. I don't know if I like it yet. I will be testing other quick dry topcoats. Do you have any recommendations?

This color stains your nails really, really bad. And I wear a basecoat.

My First Stamping Attempt...

Hey Ladies, this is my first time stamping ever. I used fauxnads, Shany nailplates, that I ordered off of Amazon. It looks like lace but my top coat smeared it.

The base color is my previous color, Club Havanna, which made it through an afternoon of painting our dining room.

I decided to accent my ring fingers with a lace design, Shany plate 21 (SH21), using Wet n Wild's French White Creme and...

I even went all fancy and used the same color to add dots with my smallest dotting tool. Even though it is not the best, I am a lil' proud.

Wet n Wild, Club Havanna

This is a bright coral orange creme (2nd pic) by Wet n Wild, Club Havanna. This took three coats, and I used Out the Door as the top-coat. I love the brush on these polishes, it make it super easy to paint. Do you love these new polishes by Wet n Wild?
