31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 18: Half Moons

Good morning beauties! Today's theme is half moons. I love the look, but I kind of suck at doing it. I've only done it 3 times including today, but each time I pull off the hole reinforcements I manage to screw something up. Oh well, I think if I practice more I'll get the hang of it. For this mani I used Pure Ice Platinum Magic Base Coat and China Glaze Man Hunt and added red holo hex glitter. I'm determined to get better at doing these!

Nicki Minaj Inspired Nails #2

Hi my lovelies! Like I mentioned in my last post, I did a few Nicki Minaj outfit inspired manis for this little contest on Instagram. Here's the second one I did. First I did 2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Black Out. Then with the binder hole reinforcements applied, I did 2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White On. Lastly I stamped using BM 21 in Konad Black. I've always wanted to use this stamp and I've always seen it just stamped over yellow, so I'm glad my first time using it I was able to be creative! I don't know if anyone can tell, but O.P.I. Fly stained the crap out of my nails!! Has anyone else had the same problem?

O.P.I. Your Royal Shine-ness and O.P.I. Black Onyx Half Moonicure

This mani is from about a month ago, but I wasn't loving how it turned out and the pics are pretty dark because of the ugly weather, but I've finally decided to post it lol. I know it's not my best, but at least I tried something new! I used binder paper hole reinforcements. The only ones at the store were the plastic ones and I do NOT recommend using them because they really don't want to conform to your nail shape. Anyways here it is! Sorry for the tip wear, I decided to take the pics 5 days after wearing it =P Oh yea, I used a matte topcoat on these right before I took it off and it looked much nicer, but I unfortunately didn't take pics of it.
