Distressed Much?

This manicure started as one idea and turned out as another and at first I was disappointed, but then I really liked the final result. I love the green from China Glaze, but I get so mad when I take it off and have yellow/green tinted nails when I wear green polishes these days.





I used China Glaze Four Leaf Clover and then used Lemon Fizz for the yellow Konad pattern. I first used the plaid design from plate m60, but didn't like how it turned out. I then put the diamond hatched pattern from plate m57 over it. I topped with one coat Seche Vite.

Better Than Kanye

This manicure reminds me of those sunglasses from the 80's, but my husband was only calling them "Kanye Glasses" while I was sporting the look (which I didn't like).







I used Essie Midnight Cami (blue) for the both the base color and the blue Konad, and China Glaze First Kiss (pink/off white) for the base polish and Sally Hanson White On for the white Konad element. I used Konad plate s6 again and topped with two coats of Seche Vite.

Red Rum

I have several posts to catch up on, so the inspiration for this manicure has long since past my memory. But it's pretty!







I used China Glaze, Seduce Me for the base red and then used Millennium with Konad plate s6. I coated with Seche Vite.

I'm Seeing Red pics

I had to do two posts with my phone. So complicated when you don't have a computer, but technology is cool!

I'm Seeing Red

So I'm without a computer because my laptop died, and am hoping this post will happen via my iPhone.  

I did a marble, 1 because I like to do it. And 2 because I just got a new dish I will use solely for marbling instead of our kitchen glass dishes (which my husband will be happy about).

It's a double marble, as I call it, because after doing the metallic base marble, I marbled on top of that with the added red stripe layer. It's a fun look if you can do it because then you have opposing directionality in the marble patterns.

I can't post links, but I used the following colors for the base marble: China Glaze "In Awe if Amber" and "Twenty-Four K", Essie "Steel-ing the Scene" and OPI "Brand New Skates"

I then marbled with China Glaze "Twenty-Four K" and "Grape Juice" with Orly "Razzle".

I finished with two coats Seche Vite.

I've added a picture of my marble setup and new tiny marble dish.

Fresh Foil

So my last mani lasted a day.  Bummer.  But that just means I have another chance to polish my nails.  I love this "foil" polish from Orly, so I wanted it to take center stage in the manicure.

I used Orly Rage.  I then striped the tips with China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint and Something Sweet.  I topped the manicure with two coats of Seche Vite.

I was able to do a guest spot on a blogger's polish blog (Babbling Brooke).  Check out my post here as well as her blog!
