Pink Wednesday: Hello Kitty

Hey everyone! Today is Pink Wednesday...I know this mani isn't entirely pink, so I hope this counts! I used Color Club Soft as Cashmere for the base...such a funky color! It's a grey/brown/green. One would think that this mixture would look totally disgusting, but I like it. It was good in 2 coats and it was already so shiny without a top coat!

 Here is my design! Sinful Colors 24/7 is on the ring finger. Konad plate M 64 is the background stamped with China Glaze TTYL. The Hello Kitty plate is GCOCL A02. Dustin hunted this one down for my birthday last year before it was so readily available from Born Pretty. He used Konad White for stamping that. He filled in the one on my ring finger...I still don't know how he manages to have such precision!

Also, here is the link to my entry for the Bundle Monster Contest : http://apps.facebook.com/contestshq/contests/107601/voteable_entries/19826064?ogn=facebook

I hope to do a post on it soon!

There are so many awesome ideas on there...I'm loving some of these entries!

China Glaze L8R G8R and Bundle Monster

I'm finally back! Wrapping up school and busy family life have kept me from blogging...which I think I am officially addicted to. ha So today is one of the amazing China Glaze OMGs...L8R G8R. It's one of the 3 coaters of the bunch, but that doesn't matter...just LOOK at it!!

These are taken in artificial light...my town doesn't see real sunlight for probably another month or two. So depressing! 

Here is my design...another Bundle Monster contest idea that I decided against because it's not entirely my original idea. This is our spin on another idea, but I can't remember where I saw it so if anyone knows, tell me so I can credit them! 

This is done with BM plates 6 and 16. Stamped with Konad white. The yellow is stamping polish from Born Pretty Store, which I wouldn't recommend because isn't the best for stamping...it dries before you can actually stamp it. Dustin got all artsy with the butterflies...he did a great job!

This is topped off with Seche Vite...it kinda made the green bleed through the white a little bit. Kinda weird.

Here's the other hand, different color butterflies!

Sorry for the fuzzy picture...but here are Taylee's toes. Zoya Kimmy! She is so hard to catch at the right moment to paint her nails so I was happy it finally worked out!

And finally a quote from my husband: "I put the man in manicure!" HAHA

Zoya Bekka

Hello! Today's mani is Bekka from Zoya with fruit designs from Bundle Monster. This was originally going to be my entry for the Bundle Monster contest, but I changed my mind and didn't finish it all up the way Dustin and I were planning. BUT, it renewed my love for Bekka! This totally color reminds me of Mountain Dew! I got this color in the 3 free promo and have only used it once besides now. It was pretty sheer until 4 coats, this time my genius hubby put a white base underneath and we only needed 2 coats. 

The plates used are BM 04 and 05 and stamping polish is Konad White.

This was also my first experience using Seche Vite and I think I'm in love! This mani is sorta half done so it doesn't really shine like it should. But hopefully next time around it will get the glory it deserves! :P

Finally, I joined Pink Wednesdays, thus the new pic at the bottom of my blog. I know it's Wednesday and this mani isn't pink, but I just joined today so I think it's alright. Next week for sure, I think it's a cute idea!

Happy Birthday to Me!! + Bday Haul+Why My Husband is Amazing

Here are my birthday nails! It's been such a good day and I got the BEST surprise...

I got a weird crack in my accent nail...not really sure how that happened. I used E.L.F Pearl with Wet N Wild Party of FIve Glitters on Top. Accent nail is Zoya Lolly with LA Colors Crystal Glitter layered on top. For stamping: Bundle Monster Plate BM14 for the cupcake and Born Pretty plate M37 for the sparkles. Dustin got all fancy decorating the cupcake so I'm not sure exactly what he did.  :P

On to the good stuff! I got OPI Guy meets Gal-veston from the Texas Collection and Seche Vite Top Coat. 

Found part of the Color Club Untamed Luxury collection at Ross...I know these are fall colors, but they are just too pretty to pass up at a steal of a price!

And finally, my amazing hubby got me the ENTIRE OMG collection from China Glaze. He's pretty dang awesome and I am so excited about these polishes...he was like an impatient little kid waiting for me to open them. haha

We also bought a cute storage solution for my ever growing collection that I will post soon.

I can't wait to show you all of these pretties in future designs! :)

Flower Power

Today's post is short and sweet. I used Rimmel Pop Apricot as the base, Orly Luxe and E.L.F. Chocolate for stamping. The design is from the Bundle Monster plate 03. Don't love this look but don't hate it either! Now off to my screaming baby!!
