I'm back again with some cuter than I expected new nail art for you! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fluffy Little Clouds! </div>

I was kinda dry out of inspiration and really loved this Wet n Wild Blue so I just slapped it on my finger tips, going for a normal solid color look. But once it was on, I started getting more in the mood of spring and went all out for something fresh and fun. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The clouds were actually super easy, for how nice they turned out. My Favorite kind of nail art = Easy! I just took a bigger ball dotting tool and made clusters of dots until you get a nice fluffy blob! </div>

Zoom out and Voila! Clouds! I think the most important thing about this is the cloud spacing. I was going for a more cartoony look so i spaced them out evenly at a diagonal to one another. </div>

Tada! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

How do you like it? The blue is such a great medium color that I wanted to pop it with some gold. I choose China Glaze - Passion as my accent color and love the Egyptian Look that resulted. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I did actually tape off for the stripes on this look >_>;; I know, I'm just that anal. And in the end the stripes aren't the same width at all! But at least they have clean edges :3 </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I really do love this new taping thing, I mean once discovered I'd say it changed my nail polish design life! So many more options, without taking as much time. Although, I suppose if I practiced enough with a steady hand I could be even faster with a striping brush. </div>

Sorry, I know this look is a little sloppy, I didn't have quiet enough time to let it dry before going to sleep, thus the small nicks and scratches in it. Also I realized that Skylar is kind of a textured coat, which resulted little bumps in my gold stripes :< Whoops! </div>

Hi all! It's that time of the week again - and I'm here with a new look for ya! </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently picked up two new polishes from RiteAid this weekend and here are my results.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgclxCI8LEhcqDRAgasTu__003FaPifFBMmNldHiJn9QfZbTiSf7oFYOwFA-37ruw71mNCpR8bbvZeSOtiA9qRe-X69AFxWLfT_Qhe4iwcEdXw4oAoJrQOh54yryRLFLv24EuxDA2_IZcE/s1600/MonotoneNails_Horiz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="295" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgclxCI8LEhcqDRAgasTu__003FaPifFBMmNldHiJn9QfZbTiSf7oFYOwFA-37ruw71mNCpR8bbvZeSOtiA9qRe-X69AFxWLfT_Qhe4iwcEdXw4oAoJrQOh54yryRLFLv24EuxDA2_IZcE/s400/MonotoneNails_Horiz.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
They are actually pretty much the same hue, but one is a straight up shimmer while the other polish is infused with violet glitter. At first, I was torn as which to get, since essentially they were the same color, but for some reason I just couldn't resist having them both. ^^; Besides at about a dollar a pop it wasn't too hard to say yes.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnJMFRT3FSudgvDTNckzZkpykvmlSxTj5vBsRzXtTO10KBrjo4SM0I9hm0bpyoTxczrupl_6pIulOE4siJQrlR5XeSkug_XV58eP6jOgVUWgMGzVN5-lMT4boyX83kDA5lgbNT2RrJykE/s1600/MonotoneNails_PurpleSparkle_Nubs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnJMFRT3FSudgvDTNckzZkpykvmlSxTj5vBsRzXtTO10KBrjo4SM0I9hm0bpyoTxczrupl_6pIulOE4siJQrlR5XeSkug_XV58eP6jOgVUWgMGzVN5-lMT4boyX83kDA5lgbNT2RrJykE/s400/MonotoneNails_PurpleSparkle_Nubs.jpg" width="291" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since, they were so close in color I decided I wanted to do a monotone look. Originally I was just going to do something simple like an accent nail. But when I tried that out, I just felt it was too booring! </div>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsukmn5gaeYENE_clDGvo1FnDaPMMEp_tUpQhw0Z_LglI08vz1zjF4jC-x-NH4uZc2kCSHnI4S7kQ34bGvDX1Cu8e6FPKZcfr8lVqJ_4t3KLFniJSWoOtm8myIo4Gp4q3IoQMljkb4FsM/s1600/MonotoneNails_PurpleSparkle_CloseUp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsukmn5gaeYENE_clDGvo1FnDaPMMEp_tUpQhw0Z_LglI08vz1zjF4jC-x-NH4uZc2kCSHnI4S7kQ34bGvDX1Cu8e6FPKZcfr8lVqJ_4t3KLFniJSWoOtm8myIo4Gp4q3IoQMljkb4FsM/s400/MonotoneNails_PurpleSparkle_CloseUp.jpg" width="400" /></a>
<br />
<br />
So I thought why not get a little more adventurous! And thus I ended up with this look. Dotting, Taping, Striping and Chevrons everywhere! :P<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyuTyJUQ7GsLyLHXs2P82IlCNAnTTa-H8GpdE_RMXfTh9jUdgKENY_Ggk2yApRMqcB0kMFU_KUuzVrPmR4msCGrNO5GMWMrVJzs_4Uu7W1o0GIhk-GCXEnKXNWE3GmjV6Q6QDYl3U99Pw/s1600/MonotoneNails_PurpleSparkle_Polish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyuTyJUQ7GsLyLHXs2P82IlCNAnTTa-H8GpdE_RMXfTh9jUdgKENY_Ggk2yApRMqcB0kMFU_KUuzVrPmR4msCGrNO5GMWMrVJzs_4Uu7W1o0GIhk-GCXEnKXNWE3GmjV6Q6QDYl3U99Pw/s400/MonotoneNails_PurpleSparkle_Polish.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<b>My Lacquer List:</b><br />
Wet n Wild Megalast - Disturbia 217B (Pretty Shimmer)<br />
Wet n Wild Wild Shine - Night Prowl (Violet Glitter)<br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />As you can see its pretty much the same color, but with different accents. And really, unless you're in the sunlight you won't be able to see all these subtle designs on my nails ^^;<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2N_Jr64-MRgLcwnmISDN-eCNPj3rCjrnfTFOeZ0Br2qG6JnA87TfLBpbVrY0Mwy7ryViKIpSOtvyJ18CTomty1Dg6LDz80ubuuExYlsPwsakhA6VQ0mAAsn6GFTTX2PvX0tzPPIwJ7Ng/s1600/MonotoneNails_PurpleSparkle_Leaves.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2N_Jr64-MRgLcwnmISDN-eCNPj3rCjrnfTFOeZ0Br2qG6JnA87TfLBpbVrY0Mwy7ryViKIpSOtvyJ18CTomty1Dg6LDz80ubuuExYlsPwsakhA6VQ0mAAsn6GFTTX2PvX0tzPPIwJ7Ng/s400/MonotoneNails_PurpleSparkle_Leaves.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
I think I took the most photos for this look so far, because it was so hard getting the light to hit at the right angle! ^^; But there you have it. A sleek monotone look, without too much flair unless you pay attention to the details.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj81aE7XQxWfasSqWnae8GuCMe-YXAnLdmsewDx6ROBdXKL6X8YYOiMt_0MmR_9wWr4p5p1vUXm2NelRqRcoFcSwSY7wu-b6_cg2iUj84u5qCm-PeLlKvlL_rlx-1povauzSiLeEMIpAWs/s1600/MonotoneNails_PurpleSparkle_Vert.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj81aE7XQxWfasSqWnae8GuCMe-YXAnLdmsewDx6ROBdXKL6X8YYOiMt_0MmR_9wWr4p5p1vUXm2NelRqRcoFcSwSY7wu-b6_cg2iUj84u5qCm-PeLlKvlL_rlx-1povauzSiLeEMIpAWs/s400/MonotoneNails_PurpleSparkle_Vert.jpg" width="305" /></a>
<br />
<br />
Also I'm really digging the new wet n wild packaging. I know I mentioned in the previous Pastel Polka Dots French Nail Post, that they had new bottles. But their wide tipped brush makes applying this stuff a snap! And I'm all for easy :P<br />
<br />
Well hope you all enjoyed. :D And please stay tuned for more manicures <3<br />
Thank you!<br />

Hi all! I know it's not Manicure Monday >_<;;; But my school just opened again, and my scheduling is a bit different this quarter. So I think I might have to change to Tuesday as my start of the week!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways lets get down to the goodies!<br />
<br /></div>

<br />
This weekend I picked up some cute new polishes from Wet n Wild Megalast Collection: Candy-licious/Rose bonbon (209C) and I Need a Refresh-Mint (218A) and had some fun!<br />
<br />
<div>
They were just such sweet colors IMO I had to go back to doing something girly again :3 </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was kinda digging my Mod nail phase, but alas it has temporarily come to an end. If you can consider 2 manis a Phase either way >_>;;; </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But really, who can say no to some sugary colors and dots right? Throw in some glitter and Bam you're set! Feminine and frilly to the max. I just wish I had some deco bows to attach! Would be perfect Sweet Lolita Nails in a flash! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had actually seen a similar Mani in a Japanese Nail Mag at one point, and always thought I wanted to duplicate it. Of course theirs was much more fancy with sculpted lace and bows. *g* Maybe one day I can get deco nails. Like for my wedding! XD </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These French Nails are actually pretty simple to do. I just paint about half way down my finger tips and go back in with an acetone soaked Q Tip to create the clean curve. I then used some glitter clear coat and a toothpick to line the edges. </div>

I love their new bottle and brush designs! Makes this line of lacquer look way more classy than the $1.99 price tag :P They even did the fancy side embossing of the glass, like on Essie bottles! :P You can kinda see it between my finger tips.</div>

I know this one wasn't too fancy, but I hope you all enjoyed! While those more edgey nails usually took me less time, I think I definitely enjoy the look of Fruff more <3 </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though I had a busy weekend, and an even busier week so far</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm glad I was able to come up with something to share with you all <3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is my take on the Trendy Colorblock! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was kind of a fluke actually. Originally I had plan to do some fancy dots, bows and bling over this three layer cake, but once I had it done I fell in love!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The simplicity of it all was really appealing to me, which is unusual since my taste is known to be a little over the top. But this color combo, of the pale pearlescent pink, deep dark raspberry, and almost neon coral color was too perfect to mar with extra distractions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWN7iVqn6vaNjzlLCIH0Jp6Az0V4SA96RYfYIuOxaIrrgqAuoXw5vTdYcwYafXGKfHPFTr6HDyJtdL3-A5xTeYDKyb9ckEhJwdpIUBcv_x2MzZipzI5YXaI4jay9lk-W_Xfr1OB9T5t6Y/s1600/Colorblock_Nails_SaharaCactus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWN7iVqn6vaNjzlLCIH0Jp6Az0V4SA96RYfYIuOxaIrrgqAuoXw5vTdYcwYafXGKfHPFTr6HDyJtdL3-A5xTeYDKyb9ckEhJwdpIUBcv_x2MzZipzI5YXaI4jay9lk-W_Xfr1OB9T5t6Y/s400/Colorblock_Nails_SaharaCactus.jpg" width="375" /></a>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think these colors worked so well with this minimal mani. It just oozes sophistication with a hint of playfulness in the pop of coral. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So simple to boot! I just painted on the light pink and let it dry. Then I went back over the top half with the corally color. Once that was completely dry, I used tape to section off the middle portion and laid in my darker band. </div>

Hi all! Banged out my second look for you this week.
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What started as horrible art block ended up being quiet stylish in my opinion. I always love when this happens! Makes the struggle all the more worth it! :D<br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been doing some pretty cutesy, fruffy feeling stuff lately so I wanted to do something more Modern. So here is my take on a more edgy, half moon mani. I pulled this off with some simple scotch tape and a tube of bullion beads I had laying around.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigpIcRZkvsMKBbP6C3g1DVyqzu_zHypmOZxwwcPBCDOPVzhAmlbEL8gTshs_03TrjI4dSftMbLGMv0zJtlf1FOd0-nV8yCuxg0U0bkyq3CDX9tLSAL5KE6OmOmF3rGigkd6RTMLTzJYfg/s1600/ChevronStuddedNails_Iris.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigpIcRZkvsMKBbP6C3g1DVyqzu_zHypmOZxwwcPBCDOPVzhAmlbEL8gTshs_03TrjI4dSftMbLGMv0zJtlf1FOd0-nV8yCuxg0U0bkyq3CDX9tLSAL5KE6OmOmF3rGigkd6RTMLTzJYfg/s400/ChevronStuddedNails_Iris.jpg" width="400" /></a>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent so long trying to come up with an elaborate design, but sometimes simple really is best. Although, I couldn't control my ostentatious ways complete. I just had to throw in those gold beads as little stud accents! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCbKSjGHzkcFSnB859sIIi89EcUGFcocN-NK9e8xd21wkfBLJ30uUwbydEpcO1Yi-M8wrRqMYttfAjFb6vAQpZluxRhomzVQnmulVU9I2LRA6On5erU-Y0QdNwqnlclnhnN97KR-Q0LAk/s1600/ChevronStuddedNails_Polish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCbKSjGHzkcFSnB859sIIi89EcUGFcocN-NK9e8xd21wkfBLJ30uUwbydEpcO1Yi-M8wrRqMYttfAjFb6vAQpZluxRhomzVQnmulVU9I2LRA6On5erU-Y0QdNwqnlclnhnN97KR-Q0LAk/s400/ChevronStuddedNails_Polish.jpg" width="385" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used some new lacquers I picked up from Ulta for this look. The deep purple is Essies' - No More Film. And the teal cream is M.A.C's - Ocean Dip. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />

<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No More Film is a gorgeous purple color, even though it's erring a bit darker in the photos. In real life its a great violet color, specially in the sun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ocean Dip is also a nice teal; a great fit for summer! The color is not as saturated as most teals I've been seeing lately, but the muted nature of this polish really makes the Purple in No More Film come out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I took a thicker top coat this time and then went in with a toothpick to apply the beads as studs. Once they were firmly place and pressed in, I went back with another topper just to be safe. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On my Third day of wear I still have most of my studs! Which was pretty impressive, since I was sure I would've lost more by now. But once a few more fall off I think I might just cheat and dot some gold polish back in with a toothpick. Its like the poor man effect! </div>

Happy Manicure Monday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all had a fun filled Easter weekend. Even if you aren't celebrating for religious reasons, I'm sure there were lots of chocolate and candies to be had by all. :3 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In light of the lovely weather we have been having lately, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to do a fun and fresh Spring look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2fUBBZxCeilfyQ20Sn7bM22uqUdn2jrThw_M6Z91BHF4m87gGLekOxnTQVlAyqk0kozf45YNbG6Fm9t7ywHyj9VBZo8LghPnOoFfLWl3NMgr8lF2DkC1sQoAj9BVyClTUT3xPKMEw80c/s1600/StrawberryNails_Iris.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2fUBBZxCeilfyQ20Sn7bM22uqUdn2jrThw_M6Z91BHF4m87gGLekOxnTQVlAyqk0kozf45YNbG6Fm9t7ywHyj9VBZo8LghPnOoFfLWl3NMgr8lF2DkC1sQoAj9BVyClTUT3xPKMEw80c/s400/StrawberryNails_Iris.jpg" width="308" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And what else says Spring more then some sweet, succulent Strawberreis!? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Somehow...everything in my life is often associated with foods >_>;;;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is my take on the Strawberry Mani.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAbEa43UNNhWZeMpc26DamH49XYDIvKAxA_zMZF0aJtS9qztjtI2CeJg4bY8k1bP9Z0dckPj7vuuFS1-UyUJmRVkgLZejr_YqWNZp6vVFkiKgOjYVD_w1NKxJa9CP2NIwV637Sb-kWWes/s1600/StrawberryNails_Leaf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAbEa43UNNhWZeMpc26DamH49XYDIvKAxA_zMZF0aJtS9qztjtI2CeJg4bY8k1bP9Z0dckPj7vuuFS1-UyUJmRVkgLZejr_YqWNZp6vVFkiKgOjYVD_w1NKxJa9CP2NIwV637Sb-kWWes/s400/StrawberryNails_Leaf.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know Strawberry Mani is not anything new or groundbreaking, so to jazz it up a bit I decided to throw in some of their cute, little white flowers into the mix. I did the flower with a dotting tool, and then added in some vines with a toothpick to finish off the look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also made a quick little Photo Step - by - Step on how I did my Strawberries.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Lately, I'm really into using shipping labels as my nail art guides. I find them easier to cut into when you are various shapes (like the scalloped edge here) and I love that it isn't sticky until you peel off the back. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always have issues with the tape strips sticking everywhere but my nail. So the shipping label was a nice solution. Also I find these labels to be stickier than the normal hole punch protectors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut this edge with some craft scissors, but I'm thinking you might be able to get some interesting shapes with a die cut punch! Can't wait to try! :P </div>

Hiyo! I'm really proud of the manicure I have for you all today! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I've only been posting swatches lately and I started to guilty that I hadn't done any nail art.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But since we are having a little Easter Egg Hunt at work this weekend, I figure I might as well get into the spirit of things and go all out! :D </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="#tutorialBunny">(Skip to Bunny Tutorial here.) </a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I present to you a fun and fresh Spring inspired Easter Bunny Manicure set! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a lot of fun coming up with this look. And was trying to go for an egg inspired decoration theme. Throw in some bunny rabbits, paw prints and then voila! Done! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I also really loved how these flowers turned out. This is my second time trying out this style. You can check out my first Floral Attempt here at my <a href="http://pursuitofpolish.blogspot.com/2012/03/clovers-and-stripes-st-pattys-day-nails.html" target="_blank">St. Patty's Day Nails.</a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally the last two nails, For my ring finger I went with a fun Easter Egg Design with Stripes and Dots. And then I added some diagonals with a toothpick to pull it all together. </div>

It was really easy and turned out way cuter than I expected. I just used my dotting tool for the most part with varying pressure. </div>

Happy Manicure Monday to you all out there! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have a somewhat long awaited polish post, at least on my part, to share with you. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is China Glaze's Magnetix Polish in their silvery blue - Pull Me Close.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4rZ7TRZ5yrPE5E8padiwtn_6d9P5fujkOmvXrw1Kqx9V0_EpP7Vjju_mL8rRzz1K9pjyp7l5299s9aQ4hHLI8dnwqnR9RnkvZCI0H_MUwTslQtbU11vUOpPwIGM9C8AtSeoc_1DGa01M/s1600/Magnetix_Horizontal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4rZ7TRZ5yrPE5E8padiwtn_6d9P5fujkOmvXrw1Kqx9V0_EpP7Vjju_mL8rRzz1K9pjyp7l5299s9aQ4hHLI8dnwqnR9RnkvZCI0H_MUwTslQtbU11vUOpPwIGM9C8AtSeoc_1DGa01M/s400/Magnetix_Horizontal.jpg" width="400" /></a>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember being super excited when Nail Inc. announced their first Magnetic Polish last year! I managed to get a hold of their purple and have swatches <a href="http://pursuitofpolish.blogspot.com/2011/11/magnetic-nail-polish-nail-inc-houses-of.html" target="_blank">here of "Houses of Parliament"</a>. So when I found out China Glaze was also creating a similar polish set up, but with three types of magnetic patterns, I was ecstatic!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTvhf2mSZ5vZxV2Z7rLRypzG7E0Qqq_1gX_FIgW7RvcFJx0LPXnF0qa7vw5dR9F9kVQ1V9EUPMPHhTMdL70fmlw69n704zR1fDhsb6mtEM-1sGTYHr-n0KchkQQxLv_OiivJ7oY6qBCPg/s1600/Magnetix_NailPolish.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTvhf2mSZ5vZxV2Z7rLRypzG7E0Qqq_1gX_FIgW7RvcFJx0LPXnF0qa7vw5dR9F9kVQ1V9EUPMPHhTMdL70fmlw69n704zR1fDhsb6mtEM-1sGTYHr-n0KchkQQxLv_OiivJ7oY6qBCPg/s400/Magnetix_NailPolish.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I feel China Glaze was really smart about selling their magnet separately. Instead of including the magnet on the cap like Nail Inc. CG sells the three patterns on one magnetic plate by itself for $10. And then the polishes themselves cost an additional $10 a piece. Way my cost effective IMO. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhlvj7jK_vTHW7hQsbmrNBwRVBBK7PUZ9HfHR1iHNed_A4p9nERWLAV7gkx97mB5APVC4VP9nAAFoBPnNV73fU8-97DUiAg0NFGV9SRkIJ2xckjzlurhCU8Lc5q1vBFTbeYgJhlfFK4Og/s1600/Magnetix_PullMeClose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="385" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhlvj7jK_vTHW7hQsbmrNBwRVBBK7PUZ9HfHR1iHNed_A4p9nERWLAV7gkx97mB5APVC4VP9nAAFoBPnNV73fU8-97DUiAg0NFGV9SRkIJ2xckjzlurhCU8Lc5q1vBFTbeYgJhlfFK4Og/s400/Magnetix_PullMeClose.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aside from packaging though, I don't feel like any one formula was better than the other. Both Nail Inc. and China Glaze magnetic lacquers were very quick and easy to apply and lasted a good week once top coated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, the red plate that these patterns are embedded in is really well designed, with the handy raised lip to help you align your nail just like Nail Inc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You get three different patterns, a Starburst, Chevron, and Diagonal Stripes on the plastic plate. And while I thought the Stripes produced a really crisp design I was somewhat disappointed with the other two. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I noticed that when you first pull the magnet away from your nail the pattern it produces in the lacquer is very crisp. However, once you wait for it to dry a bit the lacquer spreads out and the design becomes blurry. This is especially pronounced in the Starburst pattern. And while the images I have chosen below are probably the best "before and after", many of my star nails ended up drying as blobs instead of stars. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Chevron pattern was also somewhat of a let down to me as it did not produce a clean angle as I expected. Instead you get a kind of wavy bump in the middle. I suppose this might be due to the the close proximity of the two converging lines that create the shape, but I am no magnet expert. :P </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So even though I was so excited about getting 3 patterns I only thought the stripes looked good enough to wear together. When I tried mixing and matching the others it just ended up looking too hodge podge. So I stuck with clean and simple. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I suppose there might be some blurring with the stripes as well, but I think it is less noticeable because of the simplicity of the pattern. And in retrospect it was probably the same way with the Nail Inc. wavy pattern. I just didn't take time to notice in my Science Nails Excitement.</div>

Have any of your got your hands on the Magnetic Nail Polishes? And if so what did you think of them? Either way I find them fun to play with and it really does create a unique and fun airbrush look you'd be hard press to get any other way. </div>

Happy Friday Everyone! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's my goal to try and edge in two post per week instead of my usual onsie on Monday. With that said, I am still trying to figure out which day will be best for that, so please bear with the strangely erratic schedule for now v_v;; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I have another Hunger Games Lacquer for you from the China Glaze collection.<br />
From District 6, I give to you Fast Track ~ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really fell in love with this color when I first saw it! Aside from Electrify, which just screamed Hunger Games, Fast Track was probably the first color to catch my eye as a polish. It's a lovely sandy nude, interspersed with sparkling, golden flecks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was kinda strapped for cash when this collection first debut, (otherwise I would have all of them!) hence my borrowing of Electrify. So I didn't actually buy this color that fateful night of our first meeting. Instead I ranted and raved about the collections awesomeness until my sister couldn't stand to listen to me anymore and she went out and bought it for me ^^;;; *spoiled* </div>

I ended up playing with my stamps and used plate m57 for the lattice print in Whirlwind White. One of my gals pointed out that it was almost snakelike! So I might actually try going for that look next time. Maybe use some sponging for lighter/darker areas and then a beige color to stamp the "scales" ~ </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi all! I may be a little late to the party but I finally got my hands on Whimsical!!! :P Ever since I first started seeing it pop up on other Lacquer Lover Blogs I knew I just had to have it. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With that said I really didn't do it justice by finding the right undercoat >_<;;; I guess I was so excited about finding it that it totally slipped my mind to pick up a suitable color too. So please don't be too horrified, but here is my version of Whimsical :D </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjypV9moWR28ZMZtrnjGz5KKvJEEGOD5yEFHRWotN4gpBtyowxPmqG0Yh7OntRsQIlDkMbjBxKgS7qtvZlaOM6s5HTT-icnM6evzNIoWtrgu075Jm-ycLLFKPm2zKv2U4FzvrFQ3xTxeNs/s1600/Whimsical_WhiteFlowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjypV9moWR28ZMZtrnjGz5KKvJEEGOD5yEFHRWotN4gpBtyowxPmqG0Yh7OntRsQIlDkMbjBxKgS7qtvZlaOM6s5HTT-icnM6evzNIoWtrgu075Jm-ycLLFKPm2zKv2U4FzvrFQ3xTxeNs/s400/Whimsical_WhiteFlowers.jpg" width="301" /></a><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I quickly realized that this was a problem after the first four coats of Whimsical on my bare nail was not doing the color in the bottle justice. So I rummaged around my polish collection and came up empty handed T_T I finally settled to using Sally Hansen - Blue Away. I know, not perfect, but better than nothing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I'm now convinced I need to buy a more gray toned blue just so I can wear this polish right. :P Just another excuse to buy moarz!!! >D<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I really love how this lacquer layers. Since it is so translucent you can see the glitters that came before it which gives great depth to the look.<br />
<br />
My other favorite thing about Whimsical is that the glitters aren't overpowering in number, but there are still enough to get decent coverage. I hate it when polishes are too sparse with their dazzle and then you spend half an hour trying to dig out one speck!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgU9ZOdBgIj1U_0ifYH_ZFosr4dc9UshttczZCxut6_zYmrkDGOo2adgJLjQmidInRVEw7PU6GskCJi3FL7xw2Dlhel7tOkR3zgYYbRkgTS8Tz7q6oHZhZkRe3r5iidEVXHMOOXbzmSpw/s1600/Whimsical_Cactus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgU9ZOdBgIj1U_0ifYH_ZFosr4dc9UshttczZCxut6_zYmrkDGOo2adgJLjQmidInRVEw7PU6GskCJi3FL7xw2Dlhel7tOkR3zgYYbRkgTS8Tz7q6oHZhZkRe3r5iidEVXHMOOXbzmSpw/s400/Whimsical_Cactus.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>
<br />
While I am no polish professional I suspect that this is due to the less heavy formula that allows for such easy access to the sparkles. Since, instead of being suspended in a thick clear polish Whimsical seems to be more "runny". Well either well I'm loving it and glad to finally get to see what all the fuss is about.<br />

P.S. Stay tuned~ I'm thinking of doing some fun frenching on this look. I was just too excited that I finally got it on my nail to wait and share :P </div>wanyachuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08306224524895343104noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4440654324660974175.post-6347778192189335052012-03-22T14:50:00.000-07:002012-03-22T14:50:47.841-07:00Cracked Lava - Girl on Fire Rehash<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi all ~ ! I have a fun little re-hash for you today. ^_^ <br />
<br />
I was so in love with my <a href="http://pursuitofpolish.blogspot.com/2012/03/hunger-games-girl-on-fire-polish.html" target="_blank">Girl on Fire</a><b> </b>nails, but just couldn't
leave them alone. So I grabbed a bottle of China Glaze - Black Mesh and
went to town. The results are as follows: <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEVVvXKo5ekRYAn5g-B-kNIfC6vwDxAKuN2qDY7FHDC4qLHcJr0NBxUdNJ78I6lQHRBIuZwGrPRtCH4KaDTMA0jeHjgfQJOjRIKIGexoWltDubolguOpOVDnN9fFaTq528iBBl21UfFaw/s1600/Girlonfire_LavaClose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEVVvXKo5ekRYAn5g-B-kNIfC6vwDxAKuN2qDY7FHDC4qLHcJr0NBxUdNJ78I6lQHRBIuZwGrPRtCH4KaDTMA0jeHjgfQJOjRIKIGexoWltDubolguOpOVDnN9fFaTq528iBBl21UfFaw/s400/Girlonfire_LavaClose.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A fun transformation, no? It's like Girl in Lava nails instead
now...well that sounds kinda of macabre but the result is really cool
IMO. ^_^</div>

<br />
Also I am pretty happy with how well this polish cracked. I usually get a
pretty good shatter effect with the black crackles, but the other
colors tend to give me a hard time. However, after trying this out I
think that the texture of the glitter from Electrify underneath really
helped break up the polish resulting in consistent shattering. <br />

Hi all!!! I finally made it back to a Manicure Monday post! *Phew* </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a tough week but I was adamant that this polish post had to go out the beginning of this week to celebrate the opening of Hunger Games on Thursday!!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I present to you, what me and my fellow Nail Lacquer Affectionados have dubbed<br />
"Girl on Fire"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMRx_yxCVNNdDSHPrOC9ZE89Uw_FUciPWGS45a_qhW8MGwJwD9VSl3E2wnxgTuAN_DRVqiXnKGoBh8eQdXD4YlaavcTY8Jr4FdlDFTITQKoa7GZd87iQ1LPfSUJGewJlsjjmsSCiM6HeY/s1600/GirlonFire_Hungergames01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMRx_yxCVNNdDSHPrOC9ZE89Uw_FUciPWGS45a_qhW8MGwJwD9VSl3E2wnxgTuAN_DRVqiXnKGoBh8eQdXD4YlaavcTY8Jr4FdlDFTITQKoa7GZd87iQ1LPfSUJGewJlsjjmsSCiM6HeY/s400/GirlonFire_Hungergames01.jpg" width="292" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A little confused? That's okay because this is actually China Glaze's - Electrify from their Hunger Games collection layered over a reddish-raspberry OPI base color. (Sorry forgot the name T_T Nail Polish Blogger fail) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
As soon as my friend saw this color she immediately thought of it being the Girl on Fire! And with all that red and gold sparkle who could blame her? So once she showed it to me and called it that the name sorta stuck :P </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried to get a close up so you could see the gold glitter interspersed with red sparkles. Its a fairly dense glitter polish which was a pleasant surprise and meant that I got really good glam coverage with just one coat.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIAme1Kj1mYeoRoxWVlRrHgHc5h0srz0XzE-kIgvSlo95xUUfeF7amn5rdjT-hVvsEa2riUjdI7jjXz9MJKhHlH-squ5CtzXcpcK4lbfVizYkAlPVv2QfDGPlaStpIlm5uKlq-YIsXm1I/s1600/GirlonFire_Hungergames03.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIAme1Kj1mYeoRoxWVlRrHgHc5h0srz0XzE-kIgvSlo95xUUfeF7amn5rdjT-hVvsEa2riUjdI7jjXz9MJKhHlH-squ5CtzXcpcK4lbfVizYkAlPVv2QfDGPlaStpIlm5uKlq-YIsXm1I/s400/GirlonFire_Hungergames03.jpg" width="302" /></a><br />
<br />
All the other colors from this collection are gorgeous too but if I had to pick as the most "Hunger Games - ish" It definitely has to be this one so I'm glad its the one my gal decided to pick up in the end. ^_^ And even more glad she was kind enough to share and let me use it too!<br />

So Hope you enjoyed. And is anyone else out there going to the Midnight Premier? :P I'm already debating whether I should deck myself out in some Capitol Garb or something for an added bit of fun while waiting line :P<br />

I saw Pauline's <a href="http://omgnoodles.blogspot.com/2012/03/dotting-flowers.html" target="_blank">flower nails over at omgnoodles</a> and fell in love with the blossoms! (And her too! Her nail art is too awesome for words! This lady is crazy talent <3 ) SoI though I might give it a try but wanted to do them as shamrocks instead....unfortunately it was kinda fail T_T </div>

The base is Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Mint Sorbet. I am in LOVE with this lovely pastel shade of green and just had to have it when I saw it at the store. :3 I had been looking for a fresh minty color for quiet a while but I find that many of them are either too green or too blue for my taste. However, this polish definitely found the happy medium and brought my minty hunt to a happy conclusion. </div>

I recently snagged this golden Zoya nail polish Ulta for half off! *love deals* After trying my first Zoya lacquer in Kelly gray, <a href="http://pursuitofpolish.blogspot.com/2012/02/galaxy-pearls-half-moon-mani.html" target="_blank">which I posted about here</a>, I was dying to get my hands on another!

This golden-silver polish is aptly named Jules thanks to the multicolored micro-glitter suspended in the semi-opaque base. And before you jump on me about how can things be "golden silver" think of Antique Pewter teapots. In direct sunlight, above, it is an elegant gold with hints of cool silver but in the shade, below, it takes on a steely quality with a warm undertone.</div>

It really is the epitome of a mixed metals look which makes it a versatile neutral without being boring beige. I especially love the different colors that get caught in the tiny glitter which run the spectrum from greens, yellows, oranges and reds. It is like they took a handful of jewels, ground them up into dust and poured it in. <3 </div>

Unfortunately, my camera and lighting just aren't doing Jules justice but at least you can get a closer look at the Konad m60 plate design I used to stamp the tips. Once again <a href="http://pursuitofpolish.blogspot.com/2012/02/mod-plum-green-two-tone-manicure.html" target="_blank">I used my previous taping trick</a> to get clean lines for my french tips. I rubbed on some Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Night Flight and voila! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi all! Just wanted to say sorry no post this Monday. My doggie, Ginger, is an escape artist and ripped her back leg open while trying to jump a fence T_T We had to take her to the Vet so she could get all stitched back up. Luckily it was just the skin and no muscle and she goes back later this week to remove the drain and stitches. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Really it ended up being more scarry looking than serious but we just about had heart attacks when we came home and found her lying in front of our gate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if time allows I hope you can all look forward to a nail post later this week. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again sorry for the delay! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope everyone else has a wonderful week!<br />

color palette for this look actually comes from some bowls we are
selling at work :P I thought it was such a fresh combo of lime and
plum that I couldn't resist trying it out on my tips. So see! Work is
not a complete drain of creative energy, sometimes it can be an
inspiration as well!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b>The
Nail Polishes:</b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
received the FACE polish as a gift, but never got a chance to try it
out. The color is a sensuous medium tone violet called, Plum
Forgotten. I had never heard of their polishes before and was
pleasantly surprised with how smooth and saturated this lacquer is.
Interestingly enough it also dries slightly matte, but you can't tell
here because I top coated over the final look. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The
lime green on the left is China Glaze in Entourage. This is a very
saturated yellow-green, bordering on chartreuse with fun micro
glitter. I've actually had this polish for quite a while, but it is
just so overpoweringly electric when worn by itself I never gave it
much thought. So when I stumbled upon it again I realized what great
potential it had as an accent color! And thus this look was born! :3</span><br />

1:</b> To make a clean curve between the two colors I hole punched
circles out of envelope labels. I wanted to use those paper hole
protector thingys...what are they called even!? The reinforcement
stickers that kind of look like donuts.... </span>

the point is that I didn't have any, probably because I don't even
know what they are called =_= So I improvised!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">You
can really use anything that will stick to your nail and has a curve
to it. I even had a friend once who cut masking tape to match the arc
she wanted...but that's super dedication I don't have v_v;</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Pretty
simple compared to some of my other looks recently. I painted one
coat of Zoya – Kelly, for the gray base about 2/3rds the way down
my nail. Then I went in with a q-tip and some acetone to get the
curved half moon look. I layered on Nail Inc.'s Donmar top coat for
some fiery opal flecks and used my dotting tool to trim the bottom of
the curve with white dots in OPI for Sephora, A-ha! Moment. </span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Overall,
I think it's a really classy look. The dots remind me of a mini
strand of pearls and the sparkles on the darker background are like a
galaxy full of stars! *___* Fufufuuu so cheesy but now you know where
I got the blog title from. </span>

all! This is the last of my little <a href="http://pursuitofpolish.blogspot.com/search/label/valentines" target="_blank">Valentine's Day Mani series</a>. And
the one I'll actually be sporting on that special day. (Which I'm
actually doing nothing for ~_~;;; )</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
might have gone a little overboard. These nails have everything from
nail stamps, polka dots, and even crackled polish! I really didn't
hold back. Well I guess I left out the crystals :P</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
used a rich red lacquer, OPI for Sephora – Personal Shopper, for my
thumbs, pinky fingers and the free hand heart on my index. Then I
painted Sally Hansen – Pink Blink on my ring and index fingers. I
also used it to stamp Konad <a href="http://pursuitofpolish.blogspot.com/search/label/m59" target="_blank">M59</a> and M56 and do the polka dots over
the white, A-ha! Moment, on my middle finger. I finally finished off
with China Glaze – Broken Hearted crackle, a gorgeous Hot Pink just
fit for the occasion! </span>

so the right terminology might actually be Checker Cookies and not
Petite Four...but Pink Checker Cookie Mani just doesn't sound as cute
IMO. So I am sorry for misleading you! v_v;;; I mean there’s four
squares...does that count for anything!?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">So
I started off with two coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri: Pink Blink
and let dry completely! This is super important, otherwise when you
go to put down the scotch tape it will smudge your base coat. I think
I waited around 3 - 5 minutes just to be safe.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
then tore off small sections of tape and cut those in half. This left
me with good sized strips to block off the first square on my nails.
I then went through taping & painting this first square onto
each of my fingertips. Remember to press firmly along the tape edges
so you get a crisp line. </span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">For
the chocolate color I used OPI for Sephora – Studs & Stilettos,
pictured above, in relatively thin, fast coats. You don't want to use
too much polish while blocking off, or else things will get messy
when you try to pull up the tape.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
also found it helpful to peel the tape off right after you lay down
the polish instead of waiting for it to dry completely. This not only
gave a cleaner line but also some time to swipe up any polish that
leaked under the tape with a q-tip dabbed in acetone. </span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Once
the first round of quartering was finished on both hands I went back
in to add the second square. By now the first finger I had painted
was dry enough for me to restart the process again. Just be careful
to line up your tape with the edges of the first chocolate square you
painted. </span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It's
just too cute! XD</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I've
featured some of her lovely nails before <a href="http://pursuitofpolish.blogspot.com/2011/11/sail-away-with-panda-nails.html" target="_blank">here</a>, when I posted about
her adorable Panda Nails. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">She's
just so talented when it comes to doing her nails, and really my nail
addiction probably began because of her.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">And
to top it off she did this all free hand! Isn't that amazing? If only
I could be as steady-handed as she :< </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Anyways, I think this would be a super cute look for everyday or maybe even
Valentines, which is just around the corner! :P It's like adding some
fierce to your sugar for that special someone ^_~</span></div>

its not actually gold foil, but large hex-shaped gold glitter I

enough of my rambling, I'm sure you're all curious to know what

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;">

if you're thinking that it looks familiar then you'd be correct! It's

favorite aspect of this polish is definitely the sparkle! And I don't

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I liked the strong lilac & black contrast and thought it was very reminiscent of the art deco period. Also, since I lucked out and had time off the job I decided to add some crystals, knowing there was a reduced risk of them falling out :3</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I did two coats of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in No Hard Feelings as my base. Then tipped out with classic frenchies in Sally Hansen Insta-Dri – Night flight. Next I adhered some small white crystals with my clear coat, and finished up with another layer of top coat~</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I actually adore adding crystals & small plastic pearls to my nails, but usually they just get in way too much >_< So this was a nice little treat for myself!</span></div>
