Skittles Mani ft. Flying Blue Jay by Nailventurous Lacquers

Hey everyone!

I have been sick this weekend, and just found out my sister has mono and I feel like it's only a matter of time before I get it too. :(

So today I am showing you a skittles mani I wore when the heat wave was pretty intense. Looking at it now, I must have been thinking about cooler weather because it seems more fitting to be a wintertime mani! :) Either way, I am a fan of how this turned out:

Thumb and ring: Nailventurous Lacquers Flying Blue Jay

Pointer and Pinky: Born Pretty Silver Shimmer/ and Homemade topcoat with You Mix Glitters

Middle: Wet N Wild  Fast Dry Saved by The Blue with BM stamping

What are your thoughts on the skittles look? Are you a fan or do you like to keep it simple?

China Glaze Surfin For Boys + Pretty n Polished Phoenix

Happy Saturday everyone!

It's been nothing but a rainy week and today is no different. I am ready for the sun to come out so I can go back to the pool! :P

So once again I kinda fell of the blogging wagon this week. If I am being honest, I just haven't been in the mood. Do you guys have to be in a certain mood to blog? 

Anyway, I am showing you China Glaze Surfin for Boys with some layering. These pics are so NOT color accurate by the way. This is really a hot red shade, but I couldn't get that to show up at all. I think this is the first polish in my collection I have found nearly impossible to photograph. Either way, this polish has a great formula and is super fun and bright.

Surfin for Boys is the perfect underwear for Pretty and Polished's Phoenix! I was so happy with how the 2 looked together once they were on the nail. Perfect for summer, right?

I added a flower fimo slice for a little accent. I like it, but fimos are so hard to get used to because they stick out off my nail. I guess that's a pet peeve of mine. haha

So that's it! Also, I had my giveaway end a couple days ago and I hope to announce the winner this weekend. :)

Born Pretty Silver Shimmer + Dandy Nails Colorblind^2

Hi readers!

Another long day of pre-filling glitters for You Mix today...we are trying very hard to be open by tomorrow sometime!

I have a lot going on in the mani I am showing you today. After seeing pics though, I am wishing I left the accent finger out. The base for that is WnW InkWell with a stamp, and the rest of my fingers are Born Pretty Silver Shimmer with Dandy Nails Colorblind^2 on top. I love black and white glitters for their versatility and I love square glitters, so naturally I love this polish! The silver from Born Pretty is more like a glitter than a shimmer. It's very concentrated so it only takes about 2 coats to get a full coverage glitter look. Love that.

So other than the accent finger I liked this mani. :) You can find the silver base polish from Born Pretty here. Don't forget to use my code AJ10W21 for 10% off!

Jade Holo Delirio Rosa + Nail Art

Happy Saturday readers! I hope you all have fun plans!

Today I am showing you a polish from Brazil. The brand is called Jade Holographic and the shade is Delirio Rosa. It's an amazing bright pink holo!! I have always wanted a holo this color so this was love at first sight...the best part is it's only $7.50 from Ninja Polish! 

Continuing the holo theme, I used China Glaze DV8 to stamp this peacock looking design.

And because I couldn't stop there, I added some dots using China Glaze OMG. Using polishes that all have a holo finish make for some pretty cool nail art, I think!

Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway of Zoya Myrta and Tracie *here*!

Color Club Daisy Does It + Stamping

Hey everyone!

It's been a crazy day working on You Mix orders...we have probably put in about 12 hours today! But I still try to make time for my polish and blogging hobby otherwise I would really be going crazy. ;)

So for today's mani I used Color Club Daisy Does It as the base. I don't normally like yellow polish, but this one has such gorgeous shimmer I couldn't say no. I used Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Speedy Sunburst to stamp. This is supposed to be a hot pink, but it looks kinda red over the yellow. Dustin says it reminded him of McDonalds. Ummm...not sure if that's a good thing. haha

But McDonalds or not, I still liked it! haha

Belated 4th of July Mani

Hey hey!

Just a quick little post today to show you the mani I had yesterday for July 4. It's obviously time to get some new white stamping polish...I have always used Konad brand, but do any of you use something else for white that works particularly well?

My base colors are ChG Poinsettia and Orly Stone Cold.

Here's me with my husband and daughter yesterday. We had a good time getting our patriotic outfits together and I also wore these crazy false eyelashes yesterday that were so much fun!

Hope everyone in the US had a great holiday yesterday!
