Neon polka dots

These are some cute nails I did for my sister. The credit for this design goes to Ooohshinies because I pretty much just copied her adorable polka dot design. It was fun and easy to do. My sister loves neon everything so she loved these!

Sorry for the poor quality pic.

And once again I am behind in my submission for the nail art challenge over at Short and Sweet in Texas. I blame it on my hubby getting sick then my kids and now I am sick too. 🙁 I hope to get over it soon so I can do my nails again!

Blue Sapphire and Glitter

Once again I’m late in posting it but I did this mani for Short and Sweet in Texas‘ 30 Day challenge. Day 5 is blue and I had a few ideas of what to do but I wanted some glitter so I went with a dark blue base color and glittery tips.

I love this look. I used:
Sansan- Blue Sapphire
Sinful colors- Hottie
And a sponge

The pictures don’t really do justice to how sparkly these nails are. So pretty! Check out this link to find all the submitted nail art so far for the challenge. We’ve got some seriously talented ladies participating! Let me know what you think. 🙂

Red zebra

I got my hands on some more Oh My Golly brand polishes which come in some great colors and have pretty decent wear time in my experience. Best of all, they are 18 pesos for a 10ml bottle. For those of you who live in the US, that’s a whopping 44 cents a pop. 🙂 Love!

This lovely red color is from their crystal sand collection and is called Indian Red. It’s a pinkish red jelly base with lots of glittery bits in it and dries with a textured finish. I love this color.

I added some zebra stripes with my black Kiss striper to add some pizzaz to the look. What do you think?

I did this mani as my entry for Short and Sweet in Texas‘ 30 Day challenge Day 1 which is Red. Check out her blog and the entries for the month. I won’t be able to do each day but I will do as many as I can.

Hibiscus

I learned a valuable lesson when I did this mani. If you want to try a newspaper mani then you kinda really need to have a newspaper around to use. Ha!
I got my nails prepped and used two coats of Sansan Cloudy Gray and let it dry then went hunting for a newspaper and couldn’t find a single page in the whole house! So I changed plans. I grabbed Sinful Colors Amethyst and Why Not? And LA Colors Raspberry and one of my stamping plates and put flowers all over my nails. I like how it turned out and it lasted a long time. I have been very impressed with all my Sansan polishes. Does anyone else have any Sansan polishes? What do you think of them?

Ruffles

I tried to publish this the other day and I just discovered that it didn’t work. Oops! I’m still here. Just had a technical problem. We just got back from a trip out of town with a bunch of friends. We had a blast!

I have seen several manicures like this and never gave it a try until now. I just grabbed some colors I thought looked pretty and gave it a go. After applying two coats of the purple, I used the bottle brush in Mint Sorbet and did three strokes to make the ruffle look, then added the pink. I did have some issues with opacity especially the pink which is unfortunate. But I think it looks cute. What do you think?
To get this look I used:
Sinful colors – Amethyst
Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet
L.a. Colors – Raspberry
