Old Nail Art :) (Picture Heavy)

I spent time tonight reading through my old blog posts from March and April this year. I always enjoy looking at past nail art, so I compiled a ton of photos from my old posts. I have not messed with nail art in ages. These manicures were all fun, but I have been really enjoying simple layering manis. Which one is your favorite?

Coral & Stamping

Tonight I used my new Bundle Monster plates again to create this manicure. For the base I used Orly Pixie Stix, and for the stamping I used a cheap black Wet n Wild polish. I had been having trouble with this image plate, but the black Wet n Wild seem to work okay.

Shatter With Bubbly Bombshell

This is China Glaze Black Mesh over top of Orly Bubbly Bombshell. I had trouble with the crackle because of the glittery Bubbly Bombshell. I was tired of shatter manicures, but the subtle look of this mani is growing on me.

Sinful Colors: What's Your Name

I picked up this polish at Walgreens when all Sinful Colors were on sale for $1. I normally do not wear black polish but this was gorgeous in the bottle. What's Your Name is a black creme with blue, green, teal, and purple duo chrome micro glitter. In different lights and angles you can see different colors. If you are a fan of dark polishes this one is definitely worth checking out. This is two coats, no top coat.

Lighthouse Over Black

If you were curious to see China Glaze Lighthouse over black I tried it out. I am not a fan at all of this combination, but I rarely like dark polishes. I still love Lighthouse though, it looks great over my large collection of pink polishes, and yellow of course.

Last day for my giveaway :)

Marbled Stamping

I was in a hurry to do a quick manicure before going out to dinner. I used Rimmel Black Satin as a base and China Glaze Passion (from the Romantique collection) on top. Because I was in a hurry my Bundle Monster plate was damp with nail polish remover from cleaning it. The result was a blurry mess of stamping that ended up looking pretty cool.

Black & Gold

I rarely wear black nail polish on its own unless I stamp on top. I tried some simple dots today with L.A. Colors nail art pens. This manicure was super easy to do and was relatively easy to duplicate on both hands. If you own nail dotting tools it would look even better.

Raspberry Festival & Squiggly Scissors

Raspberry Festival is a beautiful red with shimmer from the Summer Days collection 2009. I have seen photos of the polishes from this collection and I think they are stunning. Strawberry Fields is next on my wishlist. This is two coats, no top coat.

I wanted to use squiggle scissors today but I wanted the red to be dominant. This is what I came up with, but I think I like Raspberry Festival better on its own. I think I need to buy a new black polish, the one I have been using is too thick for layering.

Stamping Overload?

I started with Revlon Scented polish in Not So Blueberry and began to stamp away. I think I had the right idea, and it looks semi marbled from far away but this manicure is a pain to repeat on ten nails.

Fabulous Flowers

This is my Bundle Monster contest entry. If you like my design please vote here. I would really appreciate it :) There are some pretty cool entries and you can vote for each entry once per day. Thank you!

Untamed Luxury, Tape, Scissors

I tried again to use craft scissors and tape to make a fun mani. You can see my other scissors mani here. I am not in love with this, I think it looks best from far away. I used Color Club Untamed Luxury as a base, and used a black Wet n Wild polish on top.

Color Club Red Velvet & Stamping

Red Velvet is a basic black base with red glitter. I liked this polish, it was unique from everything I own. It is especially pretty in the sunlight. This is two coats no topcoat.

I decided to use my new bundle monster stamps again. I would have stamped with a silver polish but I did not have one on hand.

Birthday Mani

It is my birthday and this is my Mani :)

I used China Glaze Hologram from the Tronica collection for the base, a black Wet n Wild polish for the stamping, and I added Electra Magenta from the Tronica collection to the spots. Sorry I do not have any outdoor photos:(

Funky Fingers

My first three Funky Fingers polishes from Five Below. Moonwalk, Manic Flamingo, Sand and Stilettos. These were 3 for $5.
