This one is for you Bridgette!

Morning! I know today is Pink Wednesday, but I had a request from a sweet reader, Bridgette, who contacted me about her upcoming graduation, and asked me for a mani idea. She told me her school colors were red and black, and she didn't want it to be boring, my kind of girl, lol, and well red is basically a dark pink, right?

Here is what I came up with.
I used the dots image on the Bundle Monster plate BM19, Professional 10 color #415 Pinky Promise for my base, Wet n' Wild Black for the dots and Sally Hansen Rapid Red for my tips.

I hope you like it Bridgette :)

Ummm....Nope! DO NOT WANT

This is one of those manis, that didn't turn out how I expected, but it actually looks better in the pics, lol. I received my set of new Bundle Monster plates a few days ago, and only had 1 night of play time so far. I saw what appeared to be peacock feathers, and since I'm kind of on a kick, I decided to use that image first :) Okay, well I started with a coat of black and a coat of Sally Hansen Turquoise Opal. I figured that all the colors in Turq. Opal, would resemble feathers better. I'm sure I would have liked this better, had I used different colors, and didn't eff up the design placement on my pinkie. It drove me crazy, lol

Then I used China Glaze Millenium and plate BM 212 for my design

Possibly an Easter Mani

I cannot even believe Easter is on Sunday! It came so quick. I hadn't even really though about what mani I would do, so I was looking through my stash and saw my Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure, and I still had the Sally Hansen Blue-Away on my side table, so I used them together. This would make a great Easter mani, but I'm still not sure....

I started with 2 coats of Blue-Away, and added 1 coat of Hidden Treasure. (I didn't have either bottles with me, when it was picture time)

Pink Wednesday!!!

Morning you guys!! So week 2 of the Pink Wednesdays, whoo hoo. I hope this counts, and the WHOLE mani doesn't have to be pink *crosses fingers*. I wanted to have a little fun with this mani, and do something a tad different than I have before.
For this I used Sally Hansen Pink Blink, Sally Hansen Pronto Petal and China Glaze Liquid Leather, oh and of course tape :)

I am so sorry, but I did forget to take step by step pictures, eeeek

I first taped off my nail down the middle and use Sally Hansen Pronto Pink, darker pink, then taped off the other half of my nail, and used Sally Hansen Pink Blink, lighter pink. I did a coat of SV and then taped off the right corner of my nail, by my cuticle, and used Liquid Leather, did a coat of SV, and then did the left side. I finished them all off with a coat of SV again :)

*UPDATED* 3 new Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's

*UPDATE* Okay, I have added the third one, Pink Blink below
Morning guys!! I wanted to show you guys 2 of the new Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's. I do have a third, Pink Blink, but I haven't had a chance to swatch it yet, and the hubby wants to watch Iron Man 2 tonight, so maybe I can swatch it for you guys during  my lunch break tomorrow and post it in the afternoon. Okay, well as most of you know, I LOVE the Insta-Dri's, I mean not only are they opaque in 1 coat, but they are great for stamping! So whenever I see a new collection of these, I snatch them up fast :) Also, I love their wide brushes, they just fit my nail so perfect! When I saw these 2, I knew I had to have them. The pink one I picked up later, I just couldn't resist an opaque baby pink :P
Anyways, enough jabbering, here they are:

Jade Jump

Blue-Away

Pink Blink

Aren't they so pretty??? I can't wait to try stamping with them :)

Alright, off to watch Iron Man 2, whoo hoo (that was sarcasm, since I know it was hard to tell, lol) I mean I love me some action movies, but I wanted to watch Paranormal Activity 2, hmph *walks away pouty* lol.

Byes!!

This trumps your Double Rainbow

Good morning guys!! Haha I'm back, lol. I really do have the best hubby and I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to respond to all your guys comments yesterday, but him and I both declared yesterday, movie day no computers allowed, and it was a blast. He actually got the post ready the night before, while we were all celebrating, because I knew there was no way I was waking up to do it, and I couldn't fully compose a descent sentence. I asked him to and with no hesitation he did it, and I just watched and giggled. Here is a pic of him and our very sweet friend, Sandy, helping him out :) Since I took the pic, it's a tad blurry, because keeping still, was just not happening.

We both sat and read all of your sweet words on his post, and loved every single one of them. It was a very proud moment for him :)  I'm thrilled you guys were okay with it, because I actually tried to get him to post something else, because I didn't want you guys to think different of me, for being a tad to intoxicated, eeek.

Let's get to the mani. I started with a base of China Glaze Liquid Leather. I just got this and wanted to try it out. It is a great polish, but I still prefer my Sinful Black on Black.

Then using a pair of the craft scissors, did a more uniformed version of the Shredded Mani, and used Sally Hansen Turquoise Opal. I have quit a few pics, so I could try and show you guys all the colors she is capable of showing.

Hope you guys all had a great weekend!!

Lightning & Lace

Before I removed the Sally Hansen Lightning, my previous posted mani, I decided to try a Konad over it. I used Claire's 14 Karats and Konad plate M71.

I just wanted to share my view from the couch as I was taking these pictures. My hubby and our Chi Rolo, they are BFF's, lol.

"It's A Sunshine Day" - The Brady Bunch

I'm not 100% sure why, but the oh so popular song that was sung by the Brady Bunch, It's A Sunshine Day, was stuck in my head as I was applying this. I was even picturing them dancing. Yeah, it's been a long day, and I am now wondering how much longer my brain will force me to listen to this song in my head, and force me to even sing parts out loud. *shakes head* Okay, I'll try to move on..... I love me some Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's. The formula rocks, colors are great and they can be used for Konading. Since I love to stamp, I figured why not grab this bright fun yellow. This one is Lightning. Okay now the song Grease Lightning came to mind!! Maybe I just need to listen to some music at the highest possible volume and sing/scream at the top of my lungs. Yep, that's what I shall do in hope to cure my obvious urge to sing.

I couldn't resist this Texan

Yep, so originally I just knew I didn't any of the new OPI's from the Texas collection. Weeeellllll......Okay I fibbed. I walked into Ulta, and there was the whole collection. Out of curiosity, I went to check them out. Umm...why have I never been told how pretty It's Totally Fort-Worth It is?!?!? Seeing it in person, I was able to see the tiny amount of pink shimmer, and I knew I was buying it!

*edit* Sorry I don't know how I forgot this, but the base I used here is Sally Hansen Wet Cement

Then came 1 coat of It's Totally Fort-Worth It. can you see the hint of the pink shimmer?!!??!

Another Simple Valentines Funky French

I did a similar look, but instead of pink and reds, I used neons. Well, I loved it so much, I wanted to do a V-Day version. For this I used the brand 10, #415 - Pinky Promise for my base, Sally Hansen Rapid Red and Sally Hansen Pronto Pink on the tips as well as Sinful's Black on Black.

Polkie Dots with a Kick!

Yep, I said 'Polkie', lol. Now as you all know, I love polka dots, purple, scotch tape and matte manis, so why not do a mani, that has it all!!!! Here is the mani I did. I used Ulta Cocktails Anyone?, Sally Hansen Slick Slate and Essie Matte About You. I know I'm holding China Glaze's Matte Magic in the last pics, but when I was taking these pictures, that was on the end table, and to be honest, my butt was too lazy to get back up and grab the Essie, lol. Hey....I was tired and comfy, lol.

I started with 2 coats of Cocktails Anyone?

Then I did the polka dots with Sally Hansen Slick Slate and a Bundle Monster Plate

next I taped off half the mani, diagonally, and used Slick Slate again

Then for fun, I re-taped my nails, and added Essie Matte About You :)
