BFF Challenge: Black and White

Today's BFF Challenge is Black and White.  It was my day to choose again,  and I just love how black and white nails always turn out.  These came out amazingly, and I am super happy with them!

I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White as the base then I used a makeup sponge to sponge on Wet N Wild Black Creme.  I then used my salon express konad dupe stamp  to stamp on the lacy tips in Sinful Snow me White.  I absolutely love the way this looks!

And a closer photo with the Topcoat Bottle: HK Girl from Glisten and Glow.

I love love love the way these turned out!

BFF: Striping Tape Challenge

For todays BFF Challenge, Pram chose Striping Tape!

These didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, but I am not disappointed with them.  I used Sinful Colors Snow me White as the base, and then I used striping tape to tape off the chevrons.  I then used China Glaze Manhunt to create the blue chevrons.   I was originally going to do these in black, but I had all of my blues sitting in front of me, so I decided why not do blue instead. :)

This one turned out ok, but  I feel it could have been better.

getting ziggy with it

Sooo I don't have anything really new to show you guys yet, I wore those awesome Union Jack Caviar nails for 4 days. (that's the longest I have been in a few months! lol)

Tomorrow I am moving back home, and moving my stash as well, and so all my pretties are all packed up and ready to move home.  When I get there, I may do a stash post when I get my polish desk all set up. :)

Also, I have an idea for some awesome Michael Jackson nails that I am going to attempt tomorrow.  I went to the Michael Jackson Cirque Du Soleil show tonight, and it was AMAZING.  I am such a huge MJ fan, and the show was so amazingly awesome.  The acrobatics are so amazing, and they are all so flexible and talented! If you ever have an opportunity to see a Cirque show, definitely go!  It is such an amazing experience.

Just so this post has a photo, I have a photo of some stamped nails I did about a week ago, I used China Glaze Traffic Jam as the base and stamped with white using a Red Angel plate, I don't remember which one.

Union Jack Caviar Nails

Ok, so originally I was not fond of the Caviar Manicure, but.... these are just so pretty!

Once again I used my beads from the Dollar Tree, these 3 colors came in a pack together.

The polish Color is Revlon Royal, and on the accent nail are the 3 colors of seed beads from the Dollar Tree.

I really love these so much!

What do you think?

Charlie the Unicorn!

 I am doing this nail art as a submission to Neverland Nail Blog's Nail art contest, which is titled "Do you believe in Magic?" and of course I had to do Unicorns! and how awesome is this nail art??

The unicorns are freehand.  The base is Color Club Twiggie. The pink unicorn is Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream, the purple unicorn is Barry M Berry Ice Cream. The white unicorn is Sinful Colors Snow me White.  The Candy Mountain is Color Club Poptastic, and the black accents are Wet N Wild Black Creme.

Here is a macro of the unicorns. :D

Day 15: Creative Lacquer Challenge Favorite Band

Today's nails are a tribute to middle school me.  My favorite band in middle school was AFI.  Over the past two years they have virtually dropped off of the face of the earth unfortunately, because they were my favorite band in middle school.   They have been around since before I was born, and their popular songs include Miss Murder and Love Like Winter from their album Decemberunderground.  Before that their most popular song was Sing the Sorrow from the Sing the Sorrow album.


In this manicure I used Sinful Colors Snow me White as the base and freehanded the bunnies and AFI logo in Wet N Wild Black Creme.

It looked much better before I put the topcoat on, because I put on the Barielle Manicure Extender Top Coat, and it did not play nice with my nail art. :( I should have stuck with my good ol' Seche Vite.  That is why my nails are streaky, because of the topcoat. :(

This is what I was replicating in case you are not familiar with AFI:

The smeary lines kinda make it look like its rusted or something, you know those stains from water?

Anywho, What is your favorite band?

Here is a reminder of what all we will be doing in this challenge:

New Stamping Plate M73

I would just like to say that my mom is also amazing. :)  She got me this awesome Konad plate, M73!  It is the one with musical notes on it and I am super excited to have this one now, because I have been dreaming about doing a Phantom of the Opera mani, and I am just so excited. :)

Here is the plate:

Here is my first time using the plate, How awesome is this? These are my sisters nails, because I wanted to use the new plate, and didn't want to take off my current polish, so she let me do it on hers. :)

I absolutely love this stamping plate, I don't think I can say that enough.

I used 2 coats of Sinful Colors Snow me White, and stamped on Wet N Wild Black Creme.  Then of course topped it off with Seche Vite.

LOVE IT!
