China Glaze Peachy Keen and Bundle Monster 305

Happy Saturday ladies! Do any of you ever have a lack of nail inspiration? I do sometimes, but no need to fear, Pinterest is here! I love getting ideas from the stuff I see on there. I saw a beautiful mani from Pshiiit and I immediately had to recreate it. She used tape to create this look, but lucky me, I found a stamp that reminded me of it. I used China Glaze Peachy Keen and stamped using BM 305 in Essie Good As Gold. I'm kind of loving these =]

Purple, Silver, and Turquoise Double Lightning Bolt Nails

Happy Sunday! Short post today. I did this for a tape mani contest on Instagram. There are so many contests on there now that I only enter a few. I used China Glaze Grape Pop, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep, China Glaze Flyin' High and tape to make this double lightning bolt design. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

31 Day Nail Challenge--Day 21: Inspired by a Color

Hey loves. Today's theme is inspired by a color. I ran into the same problem as a lot of other bloggers who have already done the challenge--lack of inspiration! The theme is left to interpretation and I really am a black and white kinda gal. I decided to use the name of a nail polish color as my inspiration. I went with China Glaze Pink Voltage and did some double lightning bolts using the tutorial here from Jane at Nailside. Get it, pink voltage? Lol. The colors I used are China Glaze Pink Voltage, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep, and OPI Black Onyx. I did have an issue doing this mani. Pink voltage is a neon and dried matte. I must have not used topcoat all the way to the sides and when I removed the tape, polish started coming off on the sides =[ Anyways, lesson learned: don't use a matte polish for this tutorial.

Nude, Gold, and Hot Pink Double Lightning Bolt Nails

Hey everyone! I've been wanting to do a manicure with nude and hot pink because they go so well together, and here's what I came up with! I decided to do a double lightning bolt tape manicure using a tutorial from Jane at Nailside. She has the coolest ideas and is nice enough to post tutorials--thanks Jane! I used Zoya Shay, China Glaze Passion, and Zoya Layla. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Believe it or not I almost gave up in the beginning because my nude took awhile to dry and it lifted on my pinky at first, but I'm glad I kept going lol.

Christmas Colored Double Lightning Bolt

Merry Christmas everyone! I have a pretty cool mani to show you today. I have been scared to try out scotch tape manicures because I've been paranoid of ripping off my base colors, but I got brave and wanted to challenge myself by doing something a little more difficult. I used a tutorial from Jane at Nailside. It's my first one and I'm pretty proud of how it came out =] I used China Glaze Poinsettia, China Glaze Passion, and China Glaze Holly Day. I think I'll be trying out some more scotch tape manis in the near future! Hope everyone has a wonderful day with their loved ones!



My right hand! Haha I think ever since I started my blog I have only posted pics of my right hand TWICE.
