Detroit Lions Matte Manicure

Here is this week's manicure, thought I'd celebrate the beginning of football season! China Glaze's "Pelican Gray", Sally Hansen's Insta-Dry "Brisk Blue". I got my set of nail art brushes and so I used my new striper to do my ring finger. Super happy with it! I also got my first matte topcoat and I LOVE the matte look! However I have been totally spoiled by SV and nicked the hell out of my nails because it felt like it was taking so long to dry! What kind of matte top coats do you girls like to use? Any recommendations?

Ok, better go watch the Lions finish losing.

Have a nice day, ladies!

Autumn Sponge Manicure

Hello! Well it is almost the end of August, and although it is hardly cooling down, I am so in the mood for Autumn! It is my favorite season! So I thought my nails and I should celebrate.

This was my first time using acrylic paints for nail art. It is 1,000,000,000,000,000 times better than sponging with nail polish! The colors went on so vibrant and matte! My base was OPI's Need Sunglasses, two coats. On my ring fingers I wore Essie's ACTION, three coats. I wanted them to look like Autumn leaves. I guess I should have taken some before and during pictures... man I am a terrible blogger! Oh well... Now I am wondering what to do with them? I was thinking about some sort of black or white leaf outlines? I'll have to look at my stamps.

This is the second thing I love about Autumn. Bath and Body works comes out with their fall collection and I die over this candle. It smells so good! Anyone else a fan?

Have a good day, girls!

My First Post!

Well, here is is: My First Post! I may as well upload these pictures of some manicures I've done lately. All of these are by me on my own hands unless I say otherwise.

 I absolutely love Number One Nemesis by OPI. Here I am earing it with China Glaze's Pelican Gray.
