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 :)

How to Give Yourself a Manicure

I have been getting a lot of questions about how I shape my nails and keep my cuticles neat so I decided to film a video tutorial on the process that I use to give myself a manicure. I hope that you enjoy this and find it helpful!

Greige Cherry Blossom Manicure

I created this look by starting off with a grey-beige (or greige) colour as a base. I then used a black nail art pen, a dotting tool, a light pink polish, a white polish, and a dark pink polish to create the cherry blossom design.

Check out my video to see how I created this look and the products that I used.

Easter / Spring Inspired Nail Look

As you have probably already noticed, I like to celebrate holidays by creating nail looks inspired by the festivities. Today I have created a look inspired by Easter as well as spring. The nail design is easy to achieve and adds a pop of spring colours to your holiday look.

In addition to the photos below, I have created a tutorial video to demonstrate how I created this look as well as the products that I used.

Bridal Nail Tutorial Using Konad

With wedding season just around the corner I thought I would do a bridal-inspired nail tutorial. I created this look using my Konad stamping nail art kit and some light pink half pearls that I purchased from ebay.

In addition to the photos below, I also created a video that demonstrates how I did this look and which products I used to achieve it. Hope you enjoy!

Sally Hansen Earthen Opal

Hi everyone! Today I am bringing you the other polish that I won in the Wizards of Bling giveaway that I won a few months ago (back in March I think?). This one is called Earthen Opal, it is a gorgeous rusty red color with a gold shimmer running through it. Like the other polish, it took forever to dry; but this polish was opaque after 2-3 coats. It looks amazing paired with golds. Do you like it too?

Sally Hansen Rose Gold Opal

Hi everyone! I got this polish a long time ago in a giveaway that I won from The Wizards of Bling. One of the two polishes that I recived was this one, it is a beautiful light baby pink with a gold shimmer running through it. It unfortunelty is sheer and it take forever to dry, but a coat of white and some patience can fix that. It is a really beautiful color that I will probably use for french manicures mostly, especially because it is so sheer. Do any of you own any polishes from the Sally Hansen Opal lines?

Nail Art: Grass in the Shade

Hi everyone! It's a simple nail art that I did, and I love how it turned out! I am thinking of doing variations on the design if you all like it. All I used was Sally Hansen Opulent Cloud and Art Deco Black. I just tried to make as straight of lines as I possibly could, it looks almost oriental to me. What do you all think, do you like it half as much as I do?

KOTD: Fiery Fabric

Hey everyone! Today I am bringing you a simple Konad from the s6 plate. I used Sally Hansen Earthen Opal as the base color and China Glaze Twenty-Four K as the stamping color. I love how the colors go together, but maybe this wasn't the best image to use, I accidently got one backwards if you look closely. Do you like these colors together? What do you think?

NOTD: Extreme Pink French

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share a quick mani that I did last week, which I think turned out kind of cool. I love the soft pink frosty base with the creme hot pink on the tips. I used Sally Hansen Rose Gold Opal as the base color and Art Deco Intense Pink for the tips. I love the bright tips for summer, neons just make me feel happy and sunny. Do you like it or do you think that I should have used a different color as the base?
