May TPC - Day 4

Hello, lovelies!

It is the last day of the May Tri Poish Challenge and I must say, I will not be missing this color combo lol.  This month was soooo hard!  Anywhosie... on to the main event...

 Colors Used; Sally Hansen - White On, Orly - Dazzle, Julep - Taylor and January, China Glaze - Fairy Dust

Well, hello there R2!

 

 I'm so glad my nerdy instincts kicked in when I was trying to think of my last 2 mani's for this challenge.  For reals... you almost got polka dots and stripes again.  Really.

R2D2 was free-handed with a striping brush and dotting tools.  I sponged a little bit of Dazzle to the rest of my tips and then topped them with Fairy Dust.

  (I just had the realization that I'm assuming you, my redears, know who R2D2 is.  If you do not... I am so very sorry, but you need more Star Wars in your life!) 

Nerd life!

I'm sure someone out there remembers that I have not finished the Hobby Polish Blogger Challenge for May.  It's on my list and I've got one day to do it so :P   Be sure to check out the other ladies' nail art below and I hope you have a glorious day :)

Until next time!

Not All Nail Stickers Are Created Equal

Hello, dearies!

Quick post for you today.  I decided to play with some nail stickers that I had stashed away in a drawer...

 

 Colors Used: China Glaze - Turned Up Turquoise, Rimmel - Black Satin, OPI - DS Coronation

So my thumb is a nail sticker from Kiss.  I picked this up last July at a CVS.  The other sticker is the glittery ombre on my ring finger.  This is an H&M product that I picked up a couple of months ago.  

The reason for this posts title is that although the blingy Kiss sticker feels much more solid on the nail, the H&M stickers are extremely pliable and easy to shape. I just like the look of them better...

As a side note... I'm so glad I bought Turned Up Turquoise!  It's incredibly versatile and gorgeous with every pairing I've done :)

Short and to the point today haha...

I'll have my final mani for the May TPC up tomorrow, yay! (Hint: The force is strong with this one...)

Until next time!

Disqus

Hello lovelies!

I just wanted to let you know that I will be using a new platform for comments on my blog.  I can't always respond to comments right away, but I do get to them all (at least I really REALLY try to!).  Disqus allows you to recieve notifications of my responses and the responses of other bloggers you follow.  It's pretty neat actually. 

It's going to take up to 24+ hours for Disqus to import all of my blogger comments onto it's platform, but they are not gone I promise!  If in a few days it looks like this isn't working out for us, I'll delete it and we'll go back to Blogger standard commenting.  I'm just trying something new :)

I hope you all have a fabulous evening :D

Until next time!

May TPC - Day 3

Hellooooo!

I hope you don't mind that I took a one-day-hiatus from blogging.  My hubby and I hardly ever get a day off together, so we took full advantage of it.  Woke up and had coffee with our first sleepover guest, we watched some Doctor Who, went over and visited his parents, then came back home and barbecued with my parents.  It was a fantastic day :D  Speaking of Doctor Who...

 Colors Used: Elf - Sea Scape, OPI - Skull & Glossbones, Julep - Taylor and January, Sally Hansen - White On

Eeeeeeeee!!  I am over-the-moon with how this turned out :D  We've been binge watching the Doctor for a couple of months now (half-way through season 5), so I thought what better use for the color blue than the TARDIS?

 

 I was a little skeptical about using the red and grey as nebula' but they turned out surprisingly apropos.  I'm loving these nerdy nails *sigh*. 

I'm excited to share Day 4's mani with you.  While it's not as intricate, it is equally as nerdy lol.  Be sure to check out the other lovely manicures below :)

Until next time!

Nailed It's Faded French

Happy Sunday!

Today's mani is inspired by a fabulous tutorial I saw on Nailed It.  I was planning on wearing this to church, but immediately mucked it up while at Target helping my sissy-in-law build her wedding registry.  By the time I got home, I was waaaay to tired to start over.  It was a lovely mani regardless lol...

 Colors Used: Julep - Audrey, Sally Hansen - White On

 An ombre french manicure?  What a great idea!

I do wish I had dabbed on a little more white polish to really differentiate between the 2 colors, but if you love doing an ombre mani... this is a cinch!

The down-side to this mani is that Audrey is so sheer that I had to use 3 coats for opacity.  That mean it took forever to completely dry.  which actually means it never go to completely dry because an hour after doing it I messed it up.  A couple hours after that, when I got back home, it was still pliable... I got peeved and took the whole thing of lol.

I'm going to try this look again next Sunday with a different pink polish.  I'm excited to see how it goes :)

A final thought... I wish it were Tuesday so that I can share my next TPC mani with you.  I am SOOOOO excited about it!! (Hint: It's for my "Whovians"!).

Until next time!
