Glitter and Nail Art: Day 6

Dummy! Who does a holographic nail art design but doesn't take pictures until it's too dark!?

Sorry Mercury Twilight, I didn't do you any justice in these shots.

In lieu of the amazing shots of this polish I'm sure I'll be able to grab and update with tomorrow, here is a sunny picture of my last manicure with my favorite flower, the pansy.

I apologize for the small post, but I'm heading out the door and I don't have much time after the hike that brought that pretty flower out.

You'll notice there isn't much to the nail art today. Well, again, not much time. The polish I used is another F4 Polish polish called Stormy Night. I should've worn it two nights ago, when it really was stormy.

I'll get better pictures of the holographic and glitter mix tomorrow when (and if) there's sun. Have an awesome night!

Edit: Here is an updated sun picture. THERE'S THAT HOLOGRAPHIC!

Glitter and Nail Art: Day 5

Is it really day five of this Nailed It installment already? Boy how time flies when you're nails constantly sparkle!

Speaking of sparkle, check out this glitter! Black Tie Affair is from F4 Polish, which I have been absolutely loving lately. All the polishes I bought from these ladies are the perfect consistency when it comes to glitters. Not too chunky, but you don't have to fish around to fill your brush.

I didn't get enough neon yesterday, so I really brought it out today with four China Glazes: Flip Flop Fantasy, Sun Worshiper, Happy Go Lucky, and Electric Pineapple. The middle finger uses the same colors over White On (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear), done freehand with my nail art brushes.

Drink it in! I'll wait while you go buy everything you see here, because I know you're drooling as much as I am.

Glitter and Nail Art: Day 1

For the next week, I'm going to put together a series of designs that feature some of the absolutely amazing glitters from Etsy I've been accumulating for the past month or so. I'm really excited about it, and I know you will be too.

I didn't want to just do swatches of glitter, so, like today, I'll add some funky nail art to accompany the glitter and make it much more interesting.

Today was inspired by Hey, Nice Nails! awesome design. She has been doing a lot of stuff I am in love with lately, and these bows keep making appearances. The best part is they're incredibly simple to make! I did mine with White On (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear), Pool Party (China Glaze) and Black Creme (Wet n' Wild). It's so fun!

The featured glitter is from F4 Polish, and it's called Pink Penguin. I'm sure there's some clever joke about what is black, white and pink all over, but I don't have it. It's everything I like in a glitter...and by everything I like I mean it has black or white matte glitter.

Minty Cookie Nails

Are you dieting? Are sweets tempting you to no end? Do you find yourself standing in the sweets aisle at the grocery store just to absorb the joy the sweets once brought you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this manicure is for you.

These tempting talons feature Mint Chocolate Chip from F4 Polish. If that ice cream colored mint pastel doesn't get your stomach growling, then feast your eyes on Sand Tropez (Essie) and Nomadic Nude (Color Club), decadently topped with lovely chips of Get in the Expresso Lane (OPI). Are you drooling yet?

Please wear responsibly. Nail biting is highly likely under such delicious nail art circumstances.

What's Black, White, and Full of Glitter?

THESE NAILS!

I literally couldn't handle the giggling that kept spewing out of my mouth when I thought about all the awesome glitters I've accumulated. So, I did the only thing I could think of...put one on each nail!

Now some of these you've seen already, but I couldn't repeat a polish on another nail, so I resurrected them.

Here are the candidates:

• Left Hand
• L.A. Girl Uninhibited 
• All That Glitters Spotty Dottie White
• Lynderella Connect the Dots (linked to Ilarowe's shop where it's currently being sold)
  
• windestine Carbon Copy
• Sally Hansen Multi-Faceted

• Right Hand
• F4 Polish Holy Cow
• Dandy Nails Colorblind
• windestine Asbestos
• All That Glitters Spotty Dottie Black
• Sonoma Nail Art Sonoma County Gazette

Sadly, only Holy Cow is available from the Etsy shops, but you can definitely nab the Sally Hansen and L.A. Girl more readily.

Oh...and the green is Just in Lime! (Sally Hansen Insta-Dri).
