Sinful Colors Be Happy & Revlon Whimsical

Here are a few pictures of Sinful Colors Be Happy and Revlon Whimsical. I really liked how these two polishes looked together.

Enjoy!

I'm here! A neutral glitter fest for you, my dears!

*waves awkwardly*

Hello! Sorry for my absence from the blogosphere... Graduate work is difficult, and I started a new job, so things have started to get consistent. Hopefully, my posts will reflect that consistency!

So, here we are with a pretty snazzy neutral glitter. I used Rimmel Pink Bliss as my color with butter LONDON's Tart With A Heart as a glitter overcoat. I thought the result was pretty nice, myself. Check it out!

Tart With A Heart is more holo in person. It's difficult to capture on camera!!!! 

The furbaby, Chloe! 

As you can see, Pink Bliss left me with a little VNL (visible nail line), but adding Tart With A Heart made the VNL a little less noticeable.

Day 8: Metallic

Hello! I revamped the blog for spring time and I hope to be a posting queen tonight. I need some time to myself, and I've decided to devote it to the blog.

This is Day 8: Metallic. I did this mani Valentine's Day. I also added a little "how to" on how I did my gradient to make this mani legitimately metallic.

Here we go!

These first two pictures are of OPI's Excuse Moi! 

Pictured above are the tools I used for the gradient.

As you can see, I used polish, cardboard, tweezers, and a makeup sponge (the wedge-shaped kind).

 Unfortunately, I got a little carried away, and forgot to take pictures. So I will explain my steps:

1.  Put drops of polish on the cardboard. I've found cardboard isn't that absorbent.

2.  Grab your tweezers and pick up the sponge.

3.  Dip the sponge into the polish.

4.  Sponge your nails. Heavily sponge the areas you want thickly covered. Lightly sponge the areas you want to be sparsely covered.

The final product after the gradient sponging! 

Then, I went a little Konad crazy. I added a netting type pattern and hearts. The netting is courtesy of YouMix Cosmetics XL Stamping Plate A and MASH 19. I stamped using the Konad Black and Konad White polish.

So, voila! There we have it! The first picture is the Friday following the day I did the mani - I was bored in the airport. The next ones are also in the airport 4 days later!!! I didn't do ANYTHING to my nails to maintain them. There was slight tip wear, but I didn't reapply a topcoat or anything! No babying at all on vacation. Of course, I didn't do dishes or anything on vacation either. This manicure stayed awesome!... Until I bumped one of my nails on my luggage. Then I peeled it off (eek). So, there we have it!

Anyone have any other themed manis that are their favorites?? Have a good week!
