This is the mani that I had on this past Thursday. It was inspired by a pin I saw on Pintrest. I did a search for more images and then started painting and this is what I came up with...
Base Coat - Sally Hansen Hard as Nails . Top Coat - Seche Vite
Colors Used (starting at thumb, then L to R): Elf - Smokin' Hot, China Glaze - Hey Sailor, Confetti - Margarita Senorita, Cosmetic Arts - Explosive, Sally Hansen - Green With Envy, NYC - High Line Green, Revlon - Blue Lagoon, Confetti - Bayou Blue, Essie - Lilacism and Sally Hansen - Rock Bottom.
For the frosting I used Wet n' Wild - French White Creme, the sprinkles are Spoiled - I Have No Reception and for the cherry-on-top I used Love & Beauty - Red/Multi.
I got a lot of compliments from the kids and staff at work. I thought they were very cute but a little tooooo busy for everyday wear (plus, what outfit would I wear to match them?? lol). So then I simplified it to this...
Base Coat - Sally Hansen Hard as Nails . Top Coat - Seche Vite
The darker blue on the tips is Confetti - Bayou Blue.
This personally was much more manageable and subtle. More "me" :)
I generally change my nail polish every other day. I had these on until last night (Saturday) because they were just so darn cute! And I would have kept them on for longer but I sing in a church choir on Sunday mornings and the dress code is a little strict. I didn't want to take the risk. I'll post my "Church Mani" tomorrow with a more detailed explanation (maybe I'll make it a regular Sunday thing?).
So what do you think? Any questions, comments, advice?? Love to you all :D
Until next time!
