Happy Pink Wednesday!

*waves* Hi everyone!! I have been on a funky french kick lately :) I have also been trying to use polishes from my stash that don't normally get used. OPI Panda-monium Pink was the star for this mani.

I started with 2 coats

then, of course I ran out of sunlight time, by the time I got this completed :) Oh well. I then stamped my nails using the Bundle Monster plate BM 221 , and Konad's special white polish. I added a coat of SV, and when that was 98% dry, I taped my tips off, and used OPI Alpine Snow Matte.

Day O' Dogs

My little girl turned 9, and it scares me, lol. They really do grow up so fast, I've learned that it's not just a saying. Her birthday party was a dog theme and my nails went right along with it :) Here are the cupcake cones I made that we decorated like dalmations. How freaking cute right?!?!


















And here are the pups. My little girl is in the pink camo. Jack did some of the face painting, and you should have seen the girls faces when I told them he was helping, they were so scared, lol


















And now for the mani. I started with 2 coats of OPI Alpine Snow Matte, and then just used a black nail art pen for the spots. This was a huge hit with the girls, so the next morning.....guess what I was doing? Yep, dog manis for the girls :)

William...meet Flakie.....and some shopping

So I started my morning off feeling great, wearing a new cardi that I am absolutely IN LOVE WITH. I love those days when you have a good hair, outfit and makeup day. They are so rare for me, lol. Anyways, I really wanted a vampy color and decided to try this one, OPI William Tell Me About OPI. I think I only swatched it once when I got it but never actually wore it. Anyways, I also purchased a new necklace and wanted a mani that would semi resemble it, and that is where the flakies come in. Okay, well I started with 2 coats of the OPI

Then I added Nfu-Oh 50 over top

and then China Glaze Matte Magic, because I think matted flakies look so cool

Okay, now I know this is off topic, but I had to show you guys my new cardi! I love love love it. I got it off of Hautelook, which I'm semi addicted to, for a fairly decent price. It's made by Romeo & Juliet. I have received more compliments on this, than any other thing I've worn in a very long time, and mainly from strangers, lol.

and here is the necklace I purchased. I know a water marble would have matched better, but I had no time for that this morning, lol. So flakies had to do. If you can't tell, it's a maple leaf :P

So I loved my new cardi so much, that I NEEDED another one, so after some searching, I found one on eBay, lol, and snatched it up. I cannot wait to get it. Although my gray one has some lace in the ruffle as well, this one does not, but I don't care.

Okay, sorry to get so far off topic, but I just wanted to share :P

A crafty Funky French..

Okay so here is the funky french I had scheduled for yesterday, using the craft scissors I purchased. I still have so many ideas with these scissors!! Since there isn't much to say, here it is.

I started with Zoya Savita

Then I added a top coat, since Savita is a matte. I could have just used a regular purple, but I love how the Zoya mattes look with a top coat!

Then using the scissors, I cut my tape. Just look how perfect it cuts it!

I then added a fave of mine, OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Matte, after I laid my tape down.

finally I added SV on top, cause I wanted this mani completely shiny.

Def a Tought Art to Follow

Okay guys, I'm not feeling well, and haven't for almost 2 weeks now. So I am just exhausted and there won't be too much talking in this post. Actually as I write this my NyQuil is kicking in, and I'm about to pass out, lol. So I will just get onto the mani :P I used Finger Paints Tough Art to Follow and China Glaze Matte Magic for the tips.

I started with 2 coats of Tough Art to Follow. I just love this green so much!

Then using tape, I taped off the tips and added Matte Magic

More Crackle fun!

The other night I played a little more with my crackles. Man, I just love this stuff, lol. I also want to apologize for my late responses to comments and emails. I have just been so crazy with work lately. I am getting to them though. At least I have post for you guys, right? lol.  Okay back to the fun. For this I started with L.A. Girls Hot Pink Matte.

Then I used Cracked Concrete again over top.

with a coat of SV on top

 

Then for fun I added China Glaze Crackle Lighting Bolt over top. 

now with SV on top
