Layered, Glitter & Funky French all in one...Could you want more??

For this one, I used 3 coats of Milani's Rad Purple for the base. If you don't have this, GET IT! Then I topped it off with Nicole's Pitch Black Glimmer. I just love this polish!!! Then a coat of SV. Look at this combo!!!!!

Would I really be me if I didn't add black tips???

Spiked!

Tonight's nail design is super simple, I didn't have very much time tonight after work (got home at 11:10 pm!), but I wanted to have something new up for y'all! :-D My hours worked total is now 42 hours in the past 3 days. *yawn*

I used American Apparel Mannequin as a base, with American Apparel Cocoa for the brown, and Orly Luxe for the gold. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Ok, this chica is going to bed.

Funky French with a Whimsical touch.........

So are you all tired of Funky French manis yet??? Hope not, cause they are my FAVE!! I had just purchased these glitters when I did this one. I loved the blue one so much, that I instantly knew I wanted to do a funky french with it. I used Brand 10, color #415 for the base, and Milani Blue Flash for the tips.

The Whimsical part, follows the first few pics <3

Then, I noticed I had my fino thingys in my purse, so decided to go a little OTT with this mani, and add some big blue fun hearts!! Too much? lol.I know it might be for some, but hey, I didn't do all my fingers, lol.

Make Like a Tree

Whew. Day two of 14 hour work days is done. I've worked 28 hours in the last 2 days. That's a lot, in case you were wondering. :-D I learned a lot of great stuff today, and my trainer is awesome though, so I'm stoked.

Yesterday's glitter manicure was surprisingly easy to remove, I used the cotton ball/tin foil technique, and it softened it enough that it mostly came off in one thick sheet. Today's manicure utilizes one of the new American Apparel polishes, I bought the rest of the collection after work yesterday. (I had a Groupon for $50 worth of American Apparel for $25! :)) I totally dig this color, it reminds me of split pea soup, and is very nearly a one-coater!

I used American Apparel MacArthur Park as a base, with American Apparel Hassid for the leaf lines. Topped it all off with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.

Bedtime.

ButterLONDON Sale at Hautelook!

I'm a fairly recent ButterLONDON convert, actually my first polishes from them were purchased during a sale at Hautelook.com! Today they're having another sale!! There isn't a huge selection, but the polishes are only $5, vs $14! That's a great deal in anyone's book. :-D

I might just pick up another Minger. I love that color!

They also have some roller scents on sale!

OPI DS Extravagance Funky French & a Gradual Mani

If you don't know by now, I LOVE my funky french manis, and black tips, lol. For this one, I wanted to use one of my all time fave polishes, OPI DS Extravagance. I first did a base color of Sinful's Black on Black, then 1 coat of the OPI. I added a coat of SV and gave it about 6-8 minutes to dry. Then I taped off my tips, and painted them black. The 'Gradual Mani' follows this one.

Well.....Im not to sure what to say about this, lol. I had this vision in my head of a Gradual Mani, and I'm quit fond of it. I just used the same colors as before. Can you see my vision, or am I all alone, lol

All That Glitters Isn't Gold...

It's Gems, too! Sorry today's manicure is a quickie, I worked both jobs today- it was my first day of training at the new job!! 14 hrs of work+ bathing = not much time to do pretty nails.

However, I had these new polishes that I grabbed from Milani's latest and greatest (not officially set to release until Feb, but a few CVS stores have done a pre-release. These polishes are amaaaaaazing. Most of them (not the FX) are one-coat glitters (yes, you read that right!!)

This manicure is SOOOO reflective, but also SUPER thick, since I layered about 90 coats of the gold to get full coverage. :-P

I used Milani Gold FX as a base, with Milani Gems FX sponged on the tips. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
