Love my Nails Pretty in Pink

 Here is a girly Mani. The base is a light pink pastel franken called Faith that I made a few months ago, followed by a coat of Wet n Wild Sparked that I added more pink loose glitter to. I fished out the large holographic hexagons from the Love my Nails Polish and placed them on my nails, then followed that with a coat of the actual love my nails polish to smoothe it out before Top Coat.

 stuff i used; franken, WNW Sparked, Love my Nails Pretty in Pink

these hex glitters need to be fished out and placed on the nail....

the floor is Lava!!!! - Klean Color Bite me and Ardene Crackle

 of course I waited to find black crackle nail polish for as low priced as I could........I'm not paying 9 bucks for half a polish job lol.....

 this is gonna be a quickie post & run =  I started with a base of 2 coats of Klean Color Bite me and added 1 coat of Ardene Crackle in black. It dried matte which looked really cool -  I added 2 coats of TC to this. I found this crackle polish at Ardene Stores ( Canada ) for 3 bucks.

My pinky nails I added a coat of clear and the the crackle immediatly after and I got random shaped crackles while the rest of my nails have long random crackels.

WARNING - holy craaaaaap! I tried to remove this tag on the crackle polish and black polish flicked EVERYWHERE all over my nail polish area and my hands/face!!!!!! be careful removing this ( or it might just be that I am a major clutz! )

2 coats of Klean Color Bite me no TC

This polish stained my nails badly. Both my real nails and the artificial nails in the photo. It dried shiny and quickly for me.

Klean Color Wicked Witch halloween mini's

 above 2 thin coats of Boogie Nights no top coat

I spotted this at a grocery store in the big city for $3.99, I loved those 365 nail polish's from Klean Color and wanted to try a few more from this brand. Even though I found this is a B&M - Klean Color has free shipping over $40 and has re-vamped their web-site with really awesome bottle shot photos. I have seen quite a few swatches of the metallic and chrome polish's and I really, really, want that ONE COAT Metallic Green. ( and here is a few more swatches of the metallic from Klean Color )

Although these are mini's it appears that they are also available in full size bottles; which is nice. I love to see in-expensive but easily available, good quality nail polish that dries fast and does'nt need a million coats to opacity. Makes me happy!

 I did a quickie swatch of 5 of these polish and they are awesome!!!!!! I thought I read somewhere that they were one of the stinkiest brand of polish's. Even though they have a unique odor - I don't find them offensive; and I know about stinky nail polish lol ( My smelly polish retrospective nail polish post HERE )

 below all 1 coat - except ring which is 2 thin coats

clockwise; Bite Me, Concrete Grey, Military Green, Black

I wore the orange polish Boogie Nights as the base for this "nail art". I tried to copy a look I have seen recently but was too heavy handed with my striping polish, as well as using polish colours that were similar so the design barely shows up. Klean Color Boogie Nights has a very nice glow to it, which  is something I enjoy about orange polish.

For this Mani I used Boogie Nights, NYC Spring Street, and a light orange pastel stripe polish. I added a small amount of Nicole Fresh Squeezed by OPI in here, too, but it is barely visible.

Billie Nail Stickers -

Although these are very pretty - I found them extremely difficult to apply. They are very thin I thought I could peel them off of the clear backing and apply them - but each little sticker needs to be cut out and applied to the nail. I give them an 8 out of 10 in level of difficulty.

The wrinkles are very visable if you get up close - but overall for $1.29 I cant really complain. There was quite an assortment of styles at my local dollar store; but I think I will stick to regular nail stickers from now on.

I applied just Clear polish to my Index and ring nail..... the rest of my nails were Nailene TC. I think that a coat of irridescent glitter over my entire nail would be good for this mani - but after the troubles I had I just left them as is.

Also - Sally Hansen WTF????? - where are my drug store duo-chrome / irridescent/prismatic collection? There is no way that a drugstore brand cant put out a line EXACTLY like this in the near future

nail stickers from the dollar store

for stickers this thin - cut out each sticker and roll onto the nail.

before TC

 my index and ring are just clear polish - middle and pinky are Nailene TC

Sinful Colors Whats Your Name & New Blogs

 franken with Sinful Colors Whats Your Name

The base of this Diagional Manicure is a franken I made with a blue stripe polish and Claire's Matte Cobalt. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! I wore it alone for 2 days before I added the Sinful Colors polish on the diagional. It wasnt the best match but I happened to spot this in my polish drawer and added 2 coats and a coat of top coat.

2 coats of my franken..... I used a normal polish brushand dipped it into the stripe bottle.... it wasnt as messy as I imagined it would be

Zebra nail art & Plug Yourself Sunday

 I did my zebra stripes on the diagional this time :)

I started with a base of a franken I made ' Is This Love ', then made the zebra stripes with with another franken I recently made using stripe polish from The Bragain Shop! and Claire's Matte Cobalt. I ended up with two of the same light blue colour so I figured I should franken it.

I layered 1 coat of Wet n Wild Blue Wants to be a Millionaire on top to smoothe out any of the brush markes and raised areas. I LOVE HOW THIS LOOKS!!!!! BWTMaM is a very sheer baby blue polish with holographic micro-glitter. It is girly and dainty and perfect for layering. I have not added TC in any of my photos. It is way easier to take pictures without Top Coat outdoors in the sunshine.

(ooops; I made the base polish ' Is This Love ', with NYC East Village and Billie Cosmetics French White )

Please leave a link to your nail blog in my comments..... My whole week dissappeared on me and I didnt have time to hunt around the week for new nail blogs to add to my blog roll.

Happy Labour Day - - -hope you enjoy the day off ( if you have it off )!!!

stuff i used; Franken ' Is This Love ', a Stripe Franken and WnW Blue Wants to be a Millionaire

top without Blue Wants to be a Millionaire, bottom 1 coat of WnW Blue Wants to be a Millionaire

okay..... it's not really that sloppy,  but usually my zebra designs don't look so brush-strokey. I had the fan going while I did my nails so my polish was drying as I was applying it.

See how the WNW holographic glitter polish hides all the brush marks and lumpiness - ( well almost ) I love these types of sheer colour wash polishes..... the come in handy to brighten up a boring manicure, or a day old manicure or to help blend out brush marks.

 with the franken I made for the zebra stripes

I made the franken I used for the zebra stripes with a pretty light blue shade of stripe polish =I poured out half then added Claire's Matte Cobalt.

 I love the colour and will probably do a full manicure with it soon.

another sponge mani with wet n wild polish's

another sponged graffitti mani using Wet n Wild shimmery blue polish's. I did this mani the same as yesterdays, but using normal polish. This time I cut the sponge into triangle wedges to get into the corners of my nails - turned out great.

stuff  I used; WnW Rain Check, WnW Bijou Blue, WnW Blue Moon

I started with 2 coats of WnW Rain Check

Then sponged on WnW Bijou Blue

Then sponged on WnW Blue Moon

When it was dry I added a coat of TC. I added a coat of Wet N wild Kaleidasope, not pictured

here are the three polish's I used for this manicure. Below; WnW Rain Check - 3 coats

Bijou.... 3, 4, or 5 coats it is very sheer and needs quite a few coats

and Blue moon, on my index ( top nail ) is WnW Sapphire Blue for comparison

here are a few other pretty blue mani's that I have dome similar to this one..... I brushed off most of the polish from the brush and gently 'pounced' it onto my nails.... no sponged were used.
