Paisley Bandana

Hello! Today's nails are inspired by bandana's! When I was younger I used to wear bandana's all the time. I particularly remember wearing a dark blue one with white paisley designs on it. The base of this manicure is China Glaze Man Hunt. I think if I had made the print a little larger it would have ended up looking cleaner, but that's alright!

Prismatic Glitter Gradient

Hi! Today I have a simple glitter gradient. I was digging through my stash recently and I came upon my China Glaze Prismatic nail polishes. I've never tried them on top of another color so I grabbed China Glaze Liquid Crystal and layered it over OPI Vant To Bite My Neck? It's not a terribly impressive manicure but I think it's really pretty, and I love the duochrome of the glitter!

Once Upon A Time

 Hello! Today my nails are inspired by the tv show Once Upon A Time. It's my favorite show and the season finale was on today, so, why not do some nail art for it? For the manicure I painted the Once logo that appears on the title card before every episode. The base is Xtreme Wear Blue It, and the writing is Essie No Place Like Chrome.

Dotted Swirls

Hello! I'm not sure how I feel about today's design.. I first saw this awesome dotty swirl design from Nuthin' But A Nail Thing, and I absolutely loved it! In my rendition, I think that the swirl isn't quite noticeable enough, however, I do love these colors together! My major mistake was not leaving enough room for the second color of dots, so I had to sloppily squish them in. I'll just have to give this another go sometime in the future!

The polishes I used are Color Club Vintage Couture, Pucci-Licious, and Xtreme Wear Lacey Lilac.

Iron Man 3

Hello! I am about to go see Iron Man 3! Obviously I did my nails for the occasion. From what I can gather from previews for the film, Tony Stark basically builds an army of suits, each with different abilities. For my nails I decided to showcase the masks of some of the suits making an appearance in the film. On my pointer is Rhodey's new Iron Patriot Suit, on the middle finger is  "HeartBreaker" The ring finger has Tony's primary suit in this film. On my pinky is "shotgun," and on my thumb is "Igor."

Pointer: Essie No Place Like Chrome, China Glaze Cranberry Splash.
Middle: China Glaze Champagne Bubbles, Mommy Kissing Santa
Ring: Essie Good As Gold, China Glaze Mommy Kissing Santa
Pinky: Essie No Place Like Chrome, Xtreme Wear Gunmetal
Thumb: Color Club Cold Metal, Essie No Pace Like Chrome
  *All of the eyes are China Glaze Sea Spray.

Wooden Coaster

Hello! Last Friday was my schools annual physics day, which is when the physics students get to go on a field trip to Six Flags! For the event last year I painted a steel roller coaster, so this year I decided to do a wooden one. I was so pooped after the trip that I forgot to post these until now!

The base is Color Club Take Me To Your Chateau, the track Revlon Hot For Chocolate and the cart is Valentine. The posts are a brown that I frankened.

April TPC: Day 4

Hi! It's the final day of the April Tri-Polish Challenge! For my final manicure using these colors I did a funky zebra print. For my pink, orange, and turquoise I used Xtreme Wear Pretty In Hot Pink, Zoya Arizona, and Essie Where's My Chauffeur?.
