Summertime Skittle

Hey dolls!  I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.  I enjoyed mine very much.  Time spent with loved ones is always a good time.  I even did some nail art for the weekend.  Instead of doing a red, white and blue Independence Day themed design,  I did a summer skittle.

Here's a list of the polishes I used for this manicure:

Essie Bikini So Teeny

Revlon Spirit

Wet n Wild Candy-licious

Sephora by OPI It's Totally Karma

Revlon Black Magic

L.A. Girl Extra Extra

It's been a while since I've done my nails like this.  Would it be weird to say my nails put me in a good mood? No?  Okay, it did.  Don't judge.  I'm actually inspired to start doing my nails regularly.   Or it could be the new nail treatment I'm using, Nail Tek Strengthener.   My nails have been weak and peeling for months.  I can't get them to grow long and stay long.  Do any of you have this problem?  If so, what did you use or are using to combat it?   I hope this one works because Nail Envy failed me.  I'll keep you posted.

Thanks For Stopping By! 

Tropical Floral Nail Art

Hello! Hello! I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was very low key, I've been playing a lot of PVZ Garden Warfare and watching The Strain.  I'm seriously hooked.   But I found the strength to pull myself away and do my nails.  I'm so happy I did.  I told you in my last post that I would do one more summer themed nail art and here it is.

Guys! Guys! I am so proud of these.  I've wanted to do a design like this for like forever.  I just never had the balls to sit down and do it.   I thought I would just fail epically.   I'm my own worst critic :/.

The base I used is Sinful Colors New Wave. A gorgeous navy blue cream and a one coater to boot. For the design itself I used acrylic paint.  The biggest discouragement for me when it comes to designs like this is the large amount of colors you need.  Going through my nail polish collection to find the colors I need is exhausting.  But using acrylic paint made that easy.  All the colors I would need is in a nice easily accessible box.

Don't worry I'm still a nail polish junkie.  Right now I'm stalking Ulta.com waiting for the O.P.I Peanuts Collection to release.  I need to get my hands on Where's My Blanket? and To Be Or Not To Beagle.

I hope you like these nails as much I do.  I'm itching to play in makeup so my next post might be a Complete Look/Get Ready With Me post ;). Till next time!

Thanks For Stopping By!

Sweet Summer Nail Art

Hey Loves!  Today I have some delicious nail art for you....watermelon!  Watermelon nail art is really big this season.  I've been seeing it all over the place.  Different styles and variations.  I chose to do the ruffian style watermelon slice and an accent nail with little watermelon slices. 

I'm so so happy with the way these came out.   Both designs were really easy to do.  For the ruffian I used a striper brush to do the outline and first coat.  After it dried I went in with a second coat using the brush that comes with the polish. For the seeds I just used a dotting tool. 

To do the smaller slices I used a small detail nail art brush. I just drew a triangle and outlined the base of it with green.  I used the smallest dotting tool for the seeds but you can also use a toothpick.

Polishes Used:
Revlon Spirit
Revlon Black Magic
China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy
Maybelline Color Show Bleached Neons Lime Accent

I hope you liked my watermelon nails as much as I do.  Summer is almost over so I'm going to try to squeeze in at least one more summer design.   What are some of your favorite summer trends for nails?

Thanks For Stopping By!
