Taste the Leopard Rainbow

Hello all!  Today for you I have an awesome rainbow and animal print nails.  I got the idea from one of my most favorite bloggers, the ever so lovely Christina at Let Them Have Polish, of which you can view here. 

And here are mine (sorry for the crap-tastic cell phone pic).



For the pinky & pointer fingers I used:  Color Club (aka CC) Warhol, CC Poptastic, CC Wham! Pow! & CC Almost Famous

Ring (and thumb but not shown here):  CC Almost Famous, Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Chartreuse Chase, CC Twiggie, CC Factory Girl & China Glaze Bahamian Escape.

Middle Finger (also my favorite):  CC Factory Girl, CC Chelsea Girl & CC Pucci-licious

I sponged all of these colors on using a make-up wedge.  I then stamped the leopard print image on using Konad black pearl and image plate M78.  I then topped it off with Seche Vite

This was so fun and looked so awesome in person that I can't wait to do it again!

Hope everyone has a wonderful, turkey-filled & safe Happy Thanksgiving!

Tie-Dyed Freehand Mani

My most favorite music era is the 60's & 70's, with my most favorite band of all time being Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (and don't forget Taylor & Reeves). 

All of that hippie, tie-dyed stuff is my fave so I have to share with you today my tie-dyed nail art.  My inspiration comes from a Nail Art youtube video by Dollface22772 which can be found here:  http://www.youtube.com/user/Dollface22772#p/search/3/NN08dNoUuGg
And here are my results:

This was a lot easier than I expected it to be. 
I just picked out polishes with a creme finish: 
     Red - unknown
     Orange - Wet n Wild in Sunny Side UP
     Yellow - Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow
     Green - Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Green with Envy
     Blue - Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Blue Me Away
     Purple - Finger Paints Amethyst Atelier

I painted each nail one-by-one & did the colors in rows like they would be in a rainbow.  While they were wet, I ran a toothpick through it starting with the red going out through to the purple.  I topped it off with Seche Vite and there you have it!

Disco Leopard: Milani HD & Konad m57

Hello all - it's me again!  Today's mani I have for you is "down with the funk".  I used Milani's HD holographic polish in HD for the base color & Sally Hansen chrome nail makeup Carnelian Chrome for the stamping & the design comes from Konad plate m57.  The holo-ness in the Milani shows up really great in this pic (the sun was out for about 10 seconds) but not as much as I was hoping IRL.  Oh well, I guess I'm going to have to break down & buy some of the Nfu Oh holo's! 

I was definitely feeling the "jive" when I did this. lol
Have a great day readers!
