Blue and Gold

I was out of town and caught up in work the past few days, so I have to catch you up on a few manicures you've missed. I apparently am on a blue and gold kick (mostly because of the new "foil" polish I picked up last week that I keep wanting to use). So here you go:

Blue Moon:

Summer nails - palm trees

Products that I used:

The base color is Disco Peach from Visions V - Oriflame (2 coats) and here's what it looks like:

Then I applied a glittery nail polish and it's called Care Romeis no 78 on all my nails, excepting my ring finger. Then I stamped the images from Konad m29 image plate using Konad black polish and purple for that little "Hawaii" on my ring finger.
Finaly I applied the Konad Top Coat.
Here's what I got:

Game Night

My college buddies and I like to get together and catch up, have fun and play games with one another.  We had a special date planned Friday and these nails are in honor of our fun times together.  Bonus points to anyone who can guess what the "Pictionary nail" represents (The category is "Difficult" and it's one word).




I base coated with 2 coats of Essie's Chinchilly and added two top coats of China Glaze OMG.  All white in the nail art is represented by White On White and black is Liquid Leather.

Pencils: China Glaze Peachy Keen with Solar Power layered on top, and Free Love for orange detail.

Rage Cards: Essie Perky Purple and So Easy Stripe Rite in Blue Metallic.

Pawns: So Easy Stripe Rite Blue Metallic and Lavender for base color and China Glaze Grape Pop and Essie Midnight Cami for details.

Sand Timer: Essie Cindy-Rella layered over white.

Pass The Pigs: Essie Cindy-Rella layered with OPI Skinny Dip'n In Lake Michigan and feet/nose China Glaze Pure Elegance. 

Pictionary: Drawing in China Glaze Awaken

Team Mensa: So Easy Stripe Rite in Blue Metallic and Aqua Metallic.

Trivial Pursuit: So Easy Stripe Rite Hot Green, Metallic Blue, Lavender.  China Glaze Peachy Keen

After all the nail art was finished, I coated with Seche Vite to seal the colors and prevent bleeding with matting the polish.  Then I used Essie's Matte About You to matte the entire look.

Five Carat Flower

Today's design was simple (after a failed attempt at a manicure I hated), but the bling on this flower is CRAZY!  Haha!




I painted three coats of China Glaze Emerald Sparkle.  Gems were applied on my ring finger from So Easy.  I used Seche Vite for a top coat.

Sangria!

I had a BBQ tonight and I made sangria for the party last night.  So, it became the theme of my manicure.  I even painted my toes the same and added the fruit to my big toe.  The Sangria was delightful and so was the BBQ!




I painted first two coats of Zoya Jolene and then followed with one coat of Sienna.  I added the fruits from Cina's Fruit Salad decal package which I got for my birthday.  The fruits are so cute!  I used two coats of Seche Vite to smooth out the final look.

Quiet As A Whisper

I purchased a new color yesterday and wanted it to be the highlight of my manicure, so this is a super subtle design.  I really like it because it feels sneaky--so pay attention, I'm only going to whisper.







The base coat color is China Glaze Towel Boy Toy.  I used DV8 with Konad Plate m63.   Two coats of Seche Vite finished the look.
