Trying My Hand With Dotting!

Hey!
So I tried dotting the other day and I really like it! I think it needs some work and also a dotting tool would help but I think as a first attempt its pretty good. Sorry the cleanup is no good on this one. I love trying new techniques, even if it doesn't turn out great it is a challenge to make it better next time. This one took a really long time but I think it was worth it. I think next time I will try some brighter colors.  Let me know what you guys think! 




Makeup Sponge Gradient Nails!

Hey there!
I wanted to try a new technique that I saw online using a makeup sponge! Maybe once I get the hang of it I will post a tutorial but it is pretty easy to do. I must really like this color combination because I realized after I did this that it looks kind of similar to my color blocking nails. But it was good for a first attempt so I know what to improve on next time. Check em' out!


Spring Challenge!

Hello!
Ok I just signed up for something great! Its a nail challenge that Mateja from Purple Glitters is having! Its starts April 14th and there is a new mani every fourth day. The whole thing is that everyone participating gets a task that your supposed to do your take on. This challenge has a twist though because there are color combinations that you are supposed to use. I know I am not very good at explaining it but once it starts I am sure you guys will understand. I am really excited for this! Here are the lovely ladies who are participating:



Kat from Hooked on polish


And of course Mateja from Purple Glitters (http://mateja-nails.blogspot.com/p/spring-challenge.html) who created the challenge. I am sure there will be many more that will be joining! I am really excited and hope you guys enjoy the craziness that will be enfolding. Nails soon! Bye!

Animal Print!

Hey Guys!
This week I am going crazy! It's supposed to be my week off from school but no... its not. I spent one whole day writing a really long research paper and before I could save it someone closed it without saving it. So I am really bummed out cause I have to do it all over again. These are the times I wish for a genie! So much for spring break! But doing my nails helped relieve my frustration a little bit. I really like this purple from Sally Hansen. Its called "Purple Voltage". I will definitely be posting more very soon! I am already planning new nails. Check back soon!



Fashion Statement!

Hello!
It has come to my attention that color blocking is the new trend for spring. I am not a trendy person but I have to say that these nails are pretty darn fashionable. They aren't perfect but they are good enough for me. Plus they are bright and I am a big fan of bright mani's. I might blind others with neon colors but it makes me happy! The colors not the blinding people. I also wanted to thank everyone who is reading my blog! I am almost at 400 views and that makes me totally happy! I will have to do a poll or something to let you guys choose my next project, I think you can do that. I am still new with using this contraption but I will hopefully figure it out! Enough of my random rants and more nails!

I used a white base, which you can pretty much use any brand that works for you. I used Stripe Rite in "Neon Pink" for the second layer and for the blue I used China Glaze in "Frost Bite". Then topped with my favorite top coat which is Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength.
