Jaws Nails

This has got to be my favorite mani I have done in a very very long time. I have been shying away from gradients and now that's all I want to do.

I recently ordered some of the new Zoya summer collection and the two blues just screamed ocean to me. The bright turquoise, which is undoubtedly my favorite, is called Harbor while the deeper blue is Maren.

The shark design on the new Uberchic Beauty Just Beachy plate is just perfect for Jaws nails. 

The grey is Mo You London Silver Fox, the black is Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, the white is Mo You White Knight, and I added the red last minute which is Cirque Colors Strawberry Fields.

Cath Kidston Nails

I have seen so many recreations (Alice and Sammy just to name a few) of these nails that I knew I had to try them. I definitely drew more inspiration from Sammy though with the way she had hers laid out. I will admit I really did struggle with these. Way more than I should have I'm sure. I ended up having to go with acrylics for the design because my polishes just kept going goopy on me.

I painted the blue first and went in with white acrylic paint to first do the base for the flowers. After doing the lighter pink I added the darker shade to contrast. Green leaves and the tiny dots finished the look off.

Polishes: Duri rejuvacote and China Glaze Bahamian Escape as base
Assorted acrylics for the design
Top Coat: INM Out the Door

Pattern Inspiration

Chelsea Girl

I was dying for bright blue nails the other night and thought "I have got to try my new color club polish." Once I started to apply it I got so disappointed. It was so streaky. I almost never have to do more then two coats of polish to get a smooth finish. This one took at least 3 and could have probably used 4. In the bottle it looks like this pretty bright blue neon. It goes on like a jelly so it has that rubber look and is way more sheer then I expected. Overall I just was not happy. It came back off after I took photo.s

Poptastic Collection 2014

My order of the new Color Club Poptastic Collection 2014 came in today and of coarse I couldn't wait to play with them. There are 6 new colors to this bright collection. They all have an iridescent shimmer to them. Without a white base underneath they are a bit on the sheer side, but can be built up. First up is Not-So-Mellow-Yellow which is this fluorescent yellow that has a hint of green in it. Next is Foxy Mama, a highlighter orange color. There are two pinks in this collection. First one is Peace, Love, and Polish which is more of a bubble gum pink color. Kapow! is more of a strawberry pink shade. Right on is more of a bright violet shade. Lastly Bell Bottom Babe is a denim shade and also my favorite right now.

Fashion nails

For day #19 of the May Nail Art Challenge the theme was fashion. I had found this color block bikini on Pinterest a while ago and was dying to use those colors. It makes for a pretty simple mani but I love the coral and turquoise together. My camera was a bit of a pain and didn't capture it true to color unfortunately. The base color is China Glaze For Audrey with Flip Flop Fantasy and Grass is Lime Greener for the color blocking. The part that is supposed to be the bikini bottom is Opi's Jade is the New Black. As per usual I finished it off with Glisten and Glow HK Girl Topcoat.

My younger brother's high school graduation was Saturday. I now feel so old :-( I saw this beautiful eye makeup look on Instagram done by _tiarni_ You should definitely check her out. She does AMAZING looks. Her photo reminded me of this mermaid type look so I figured I had to try it. I didn't have the products she did so mine came out a bit different. Overall I was very happy. I think it really made my blue eyes pop. I used colors from my Sigma Creme de Couture palette, Lorac Pro palette, and my Morphe brushes palette I made myself from their single shadows. Eyeliner is Maybelline eye studio in black. I had just picked up the lashes from Wal-mart the day before. They are Salon Perfect in #109. They were a dream to apply. First attempt and they were on. I highly recommend them to anyone who has been having trouble applying falsies.

Isn't he handsome??
