Sparkly Lime and Nude Chevron Manicure

Hey Dolls!

I was in the mood for a Summer tape mani.  I love the look of neons and nudes together, it's one of my favorite combo's.

On my pointer finger I wore Essie Jiggle Hi, Jiggle Low.  My middle and pinkie finger is Joe Fresh Sour Citron. My ring finger (and thumb) is OPI Infinite Shine No Strings Attached.

Have a great day lovelies!

New Coca-Cola by OPI Collection Nail Art

Hiya Dolls

 

I did some nail art using the new Coca-Cola by OPI Collection.  I used A Grape Affair, Sorry I'm Fizzy Today and My Signature Is "DC".  See my swatches here.

 

 

As usual, I used washi tape to get crisp clean lines.

 

 



Joe Fresh Aqua and Melon

Hiya Dolls

 

I'm so happy it's Friday, it's been a long week!  I can't wait for a relaxing weekend and breakfast in bed on Mother's Day!

 

I've wanted to try this tape design for a while now.  It's so easy to do, I will definately be wearing this look all Summa long!

 

I can't seem to get enough of Joe Fresh polishes lately.  This brand is found in my local supermarket here in Canada.  This pretty blue is called Aqua and the peach shade is called Melon.

 

 

 

 



OPI Gwen Stefani Collection Swatches and Review

Press Sample

 

Hey Dolls

 

I am so super excited to show you two polishes from Gwen Stefani's new Collection with OPI.  I was so excited for this collection, I have always loved Gwen and her music!

 

First up is Love Angel Music Baby which is a stunning champagne gold with incredible shimmer.  It dries (very quickly!) to a satin finish. The formula was awesome, it could definately be a one coater!  I used two coats for these pictures.

 

I added  top coat for a shiny finish and the shimmer really came alive!  This is definately going to be my go-to gold from now on.

 

 

I Sing In Color is a gorgeous vampy burgundy cream.  The formula was great, I used two coats for perfect opacity.

 

 

 

 

I had to do a little nail art with these two gorgeous colors!  I used washi tape for the triangle on my middle finger.

 

What polishes from Gwen's Collection will you be picking up?

Purple Stripes

 Hey Dolls!

 

This stripey mani is what I wore on our Thanksgiving weekend.  I got my inspiration from @cassondrafaye and @lafemmelulu on Instagram for this mani.  There are so many talented nail artists on Instagram.

 

 

My base coat is OPI My Very First Knockwurst.  I taped off 1/3 of each nail and did a coat of Zoya Aurora and (I'm not totally positive about this since it was so long ago now, but I'm pretty sure it's) Barry M Prickly Pear.

 

 

What do you all think of tape mani's?  Do you love them as much as I do?

 



Pink and Black Tape Mani

Hiya Dolls!

 

I get to go to a PINK concert tomorrow night!  Eeeeeeeee, I am so excited I can't stand it!  Of course I had to do a fun mani for the occasion.  I started with Clinique Pinkini as my base (how perfect hey?) then I taped off a deep chevron and did a coat of China Glaze Haunting.  I think the look is pretty perfect for a Pink rock concert!

 

 

 



Tape Mani

Hey Dolls!

 

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  I'm always a bit sad on Sunday night to see the weekend go, but I do love a fresh start on Mondays.  Is that crazy?  Anyhoo, here is my latest mani.  I can't seem to get enough of tape mani's lately! 

 

 

The colors I used here are Essie Rock The Boat which is a beautiful shimmery blue.  Sinful Colors Skylark which is the pretty pastel peach.  Chanel Kaleidoscope on my ring finger, and Shimmer Carmen on my pinky.



OPI My Private Jet Tape Mani

Hey Dolls!

 

 

I have been so inspired by tape mani's lately.  I follow @lafemmelulu on instagram (go check her out!) and she is the tape mani queen!  So much inspiration in her account.

 

I had been wearing OPI My Private Jet for a couple days and wanted to spice it up a bit.  I taped off a deep chevron on my pointer and ring fingers and filled it in with Sinful Colors Snow Me White.  I added a silver stud to my pinky finger.

 

 



Twinsie Tuesday Chevrons

Hey Dolls

 

It's Chevron week for the Twinsie's.  I love the look of chevrons, I just wish they weren't so hard to do!  I did a 'deep chevron' using tape for my mani this week.  It was also my BIRTHDAY mani and I loved it soooo much.

 

 

The polishes I used are China Glaze For Audrey, Jessica Summer Lovin, Joe Fresh Starry and L'oreal Greycian Goddess.  I used washi tape for my lines.  I love using washi tape because it gives crisp lines without too much 'stickiness' to ruin your polish underneath.

Twinsie Tuesday Tape Mani

This weeks edition of Twinsie Tuesday is Tape Mani's. 

I have never tried a tape mani before, and I can say that this was suuuuper hard.  I tried so many different ways and hated all of them!  I finally settled for what I've got going in these pics. 

I used LA Girls Extreme, Joe Fresh Starry and W&W Black Creme.

I can't wait to see what the others have come up with this week! Check, check, check it out!
