Valentine's Day Nails

Hmm yes I am quite excellent at posting things late.

As I had mentioned before, I didn't want to do the reds and pinks for Valentine's Day this year.  I instead went for a completely different color palette (which paired perfectly with my outfit, so don't worry):

For this manicure:

• Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paints
• Thumb - Alexis by Julep, Björk by Julep, white half pearl from Claire's
• Pointer & Ring - Tribeca Silver by NYC
• Middle - Endless Blue by Sinful Colors, What a Broad by Sephora by OPI, stamped with iced silver by b.m.c. & BM-023 by Bundle Monster
• Pinky - aruba blue by essie, Björk by Julep, white half pearl from Claire's
• Top Coat - Top Coat by Out the Door

Approximate Completion Time: 1.5 hours

So take that, reds and pinks.  Gotta step aside for something cool and hip.

And that's all I have to say for now, really.  Stay safe because we'll meet again soon! :)

Anniversary Nails

I recently got to celebrate my 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend.  We went to a French American restaurant that was both quaint and semi-formal, so my nails had to match.

For this manicure:

• Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paint
• Base Color - My Vampire is Buff by OPI
• Stamp Color - white by Konad
• Stamp Plate - SH 211 by Shany Cosmetics
• Studs - black half pearls from Claire's
• Top Coat - Top Coat by Out the Door

Approximate Completion Time: 1 hour - 1.5 hours

It's a very subtle design, which is good, because I need some subtle designs to balance out my crazy colorful other designs.  I have some of those coming up for y'all real soon!

But until then, stay safe and stay classy :)

Bling Bling by the Beach

I went to a beach bonfire type of party the other day, so I had to dress up my nails appropriately :)

For this manicure:

• Base Coat - Base Coat by Finger Paints
• Base Colors - Black Out by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, My Vampire is Buff by OPI, Tribeca Silver by NYC, silver glitter by Shades of the Season
• Gradient Colors - Cloud 9 by Sinful Colors, Pink Punk by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Myrtle by Julep, Dream On by Sinful Colors, Endless Blue by Sinful Colors
• Top Coat - Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat by Sally Hansen
• Studs - white half pearls from Claire's

Approximate Completion Time:  1.5 hours

Studs are fun.  Studying can also be fun.  Dating a stud is great.  Wearing stud earrings is cute.  Okay I'm done - go back to your books, kids.  And I will see you soon :)
