Purple and Blue

I love the way this one came out! I was originally going to cover it with strips of tape and put black on top so the purple and blue would show through, but I scrapped the idea. It looked great over the purple side, but the blue was hard to differentiate from the black.

First I painted my whole nail with two coats of Sinful Colors Dream On. Then I taped off half of my nail, and put one coat of Revlon Royal, then I finished with Seche Vite.

Hope you guys like it!

China Glaze Sweet Hook

Hi Guys! I got really sick over the weekend which lasted up until Tuesday and haven't had time to change my manicure until last night. My rainbow sherbet fingers were chipping and it was driving me crazy!

So, here is three coats of China Glaze Sweet Hook with one coat of China Glaze Techno as an accent on my ring finger. Both are from China Glaze's new Electropop collection. Sweet Hook is a very light pastel purple. It's so pretty! The formula was tricky for me, though. It was kind of thick to start with and as time passed with having my bottle open, the polish started to thicken around the neck of the bottle. I could have stopped at two coats, but I felt a third coat was needed just to even it out due to the thick formula. Techno is this really gorgeous holographic glitter top coat with tiny glitter specks and larger hexagonal glitter pieces.

I think Sweet Hook may be a little lighter in person than what's showing in my pictures.

Are you guys digging the Electropop collection?

Rainbow Sherbet Nails

Hi Everyone! This is a patchwork mani I did using three colors. I got the idea from Chloe's Nails. For a tutorial on how to do patchwork mani's, check out http://chloesnails.blogspot.com/ . She has a full tutorial on there and it's amazing! I messed up the placement of the purple on my ring finger, and by the time I realized it, it was too late, so oh well!

The colors I used are Essie Splash of Grenadine for the pinky-purple color, Tart Deco for the peachy orange, and Navigate Her for the pistachio green. I showed my boyfriend and he really liked it! He said it looked for very 80's, but in a good way. I agree, but the main theme it reminded me of was candy or popsicles and then right as I was about to make this post...BAM! Rainbow Sherbet! That's it!! I really love the way this came out and I hope you guys really enjoy it too.

Purple Dream

Hi guys! I love the way this came out. It's three coats of Essie Lilacism with one coat of Nfu-Oh 50 layered on top and then Seche Vite for my topcoat. The Essie color is quite sheer, but at three coats it evens out and becomes opaque. I love the way the blue flakies glow against the pastel background. Sorry if it's kind of hard to see the flakies in my pictures, but trust me, in real life it's AMAZING!

Also, my first Zoya polishes should be coming on Friday. I ordered them during their get 2 free bottles 2012 promotion. I'm so excited! I've never used Zoya before, but I've been dying to try them. My next post will showcase them.

Thanks for reading. On to the photos!
