PINK Voltage

I LOVE THIS COLOR!!! Can you tell? It just makes me smile everytime I look down:) This is China Glaze "Pink Voltage" the silver is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Celeb City"!!! The design in the top pic is done with striping tape and the bottom is done with a dotting tool!!! This color is sooo beautiful,  I really wasn't sure about it at the store but after a swatching I was hooked!!! WARNING this is a NEON and is super bright, so not for the faint of heart:) but you ladies can handle it right:)

On a DiFfEReNt Level

This mani took a great deal of time... but that was probably because it was one of my first;) the base is China Glaze "For Audrey" my fav Tiffany & Co. Blue/Turquoise!!! The tips are Sinful Colors "Black on Black" with the dots and line done in Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "White On".  I got so many compliments on this mani I will have to do it again:)

Flip Flop Fantasy:)

This mani was done with China Glaze "Flip Flop Fantasy" a rather remarkable pink/coral/orange NEON that does not photograph well at all:( I tried to take pics of this beautiful polish so many different ways and it just would not cooperate!!!! Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Celeb City" is the beautiful silver used here:) with a few accent dots:) I LOVE this COLOR and I am so sad that I could not get a pic that could capture its true beauty!!!! A great spring color!!!!!

Quilted nails, Oh my...


This was a last minute mani and I really couldn't decide what I wanted to do... But I love the way it turned out, even though it won't last long (they never do). The base is China Glaze "Turned up Turquoise", I love this color technically it is classified as a neon but I don't really see it as neon;  it does have the same semi matte finish though. The Stamping plate I used for the quilted design is CH11 by Cheeky and I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Golden-I" this is my all time favorite Gold!!! I really like the flash of gold when I move my hands:) All followed up with a quick coat of SV and Ta-Da!!!!

STOP... HOLO TIME!!!!

So holo's are all the rage right now, but they cost a pretty penny. I wasn't even sure I was gonna like one, so I hunted for one that didn't cost over $10 a bottle and this is what I found:) This little beauty is Color Club "Worth the Risque" and I got it on Amazon for $3 + $3 in Shipping:) I LOVE IT!!!! It is not a definitive as some of the other holo's out there but still really pretty:)

Black and White Stamping

This was  a very graphic mani, almost too busy. I love black and white nails but not with such a bold pattern... The White is Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" and the black is Konad special polish in "Black" followed by SV. The plate I used is BM-205.


I still have several mani's to post:) and as always If you wanna see something or wanna know how I do something just leave me a comment:) Have a Pinked Polish Day:)

Green Alligator

This mani had a super cool effect, it looked like green alligator skin:) For this I used Sinful Colors "Rise and Shine" and for the stamp I used Klean Color "Metallic Aqua", followed by a coat of SV. The stamp I used is BM-224. Stamping (Konad) has become one of my favorite types of mani's!!!! I think it's because the possibilities are endless!!!!
