Marilyn / Minnie Mouse POST

Sorry been gone AGAIN... 

1. I had to stop using gel on my nails... I was using it to keep my natural nails from breaking & it was doing a great job for a LONG time.... but, not too long ago my fingers started burning & itching... So I started to investigate the culprit.  I was thinking it was either the 90% Rubbing Alcohol OR the UV Light... My conclusion is the light because I don't apply the alcohol past my nails.

I haven't been gelling for at least a month & because of that my nails Broke, Chipped.. etc.

I started to realize that I can't keep leaving just because of my nails....So don't be surprised if you see mis-shaped nail sizes... LOL

2. I have a friend in deep need of my help... she lost her job & then her house. It took hard work & lots of time to get her situated but, she is still a work in progress.


Anywhoo... to get back on track...

This look I did I like to call the Marilyn / Minnie look because that's what it reminds me of.

I started out with 2 coats of Sunset Kiss by Julie which is a gorgeous metallic red & then moved on to 2 coats of  Love Marilyn by China Glaze which is a red & silver glitter and topped it off with 1 coat of Out The Door top coat.










Lemme know what it reminds you of!

Off the Grid by Sparitual

This is a gorgeous mermaid teal color with a gold shimmer
It is called Off the Grid and is made by Sparitual.
It was easily applied with two full coats. I then topped it off with Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat. Remember anytime you are using a glitter, shimmer or, neon polish you will need to apply a top coat to ensure that it hold that shine & sparkle.

This is a late post but, this is what I did for My 4th.

It went well but, we may have partied a tad too much LOL.

This is my first attempt at freehand nail art.

The polishes I used are:
"Ruby Pumps" by China Glaze
"Royal Navy" by Orly
"Dorothy Who?" by China Glaze
508 Star Designer by Jordana

 Please let me know what you think.

Fast Track by China Glaze

This is a nice neutral / beige color that has a tiny gold shimmer and is perfect for work. It is called "Fast Track" by China Glaze and was applied using 2 coats. I then applied a single coat of "Fast Dry Top Coat" by Seche Vite.

It's probably a little too plain jane for my taste but, I'm sure a lot of you ladies will love it!

First Time Water Marbling

This is the very first time I have done water marbling on my actual nails... I have barely practiced on nail sticks... These didn't come out the way I wanted... I had nothing but, problems & a big mess LOL

I figured it needed some glitter afterwards...

Maybe next time will be better but, here goes...

Fireworks over Pink Voltage

In this look I used two coats of "Pink Voltage" by China Glaze which is a light neon pink with a purple shimmer. I then applied one coat of "fireworks" by Hard Candy and finally topped it off with Seche Vite's Fast Dry Top Coat.

It reminds me of bubble gum & Katy Perry in California Gurls.

















The two pictures below are the closest
in actual color.
