Vertical Stripes Zoya Manicure

Hallo! Its Tuesday again, and for now looks like I'm back to once a week Manis.
Things have been a little busier than I expected, but I'm trying to get back to twice a week Posts again. So please be patient. 

On the brighter side I have a new look for you this week!
Inspired by my new Zoya Polish in Skylar Blue! 

 

Tada! 

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. 

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 

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. 

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! 

Well hope you all enjoyed! Thank you for reading!

Saharan Color-Block Manicure

Hi all! Hope you didn't think I wouldn't make it! Cuz here I am with my Manicure for the week! ^_^ 

Even though I had a busy weekend, and an even busier week so far

 I'm glad I was able to come up with something to share with you all <3

So here is my take on the Trendy Colorblock! 

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!!! 

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.

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. 

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. 

Lacquer List: 

Chanel  Le Vernis - Le Perle 

China Glaze - Evening Seduction 

Essie - Tart Deco 

I know, most people can probably do this without tape guides. But I'm just so anal it would bother me to no end >_>;;; Also I think, the crisp lines add to that Mod Look. 

So I hope you all enjoyed this look. Lately I've been going more simplistic over fruffy. I wonder how long that trend will last. ^^; 

What about you all? Do you prefer simple and clean or deco galore 

when it comes to your finger tips? 

I'd love to know!

Clovers and Stripes St. Patty's Day Nails

Hello lovelies!!! 

I have a quick little manicure for you today. I know I usually post Mondays but, ever since my doggie emergency my Nail schedule has been thrown off. >_< So I hope you'll bear with my as I work my way back on track!!! 

 

I saw Pauline's flower nails over at omgnoodles 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 

They still look like flowers to me...I should've added stems or something but I'm pretty sure that is beyond my skill level. 

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. 

 I used my dotting tool and some scotch tape to make the "clovers," dots and stripes with OPI for Sephora in A-ha! Moment. Then finished up with some top coat loving. 

Looking closely at it now I wish I had just made them flowers instead :P Then I could've covered up the middles with some cute crystal or polish.

Lots of people thing they are more Easter-y and I can totally see why. They really do look like Easter Eggs especially with the pastel color, dots and stripes. >_>;;; So I guess I already have a plan for that week's nails! 

Hope you all enjoy and have a deliciously filled St. Patricks day ^___^ Honestly isn't this Holiday mostly about the good food and drinking? Whats not to enjoy!?
