My Glowing Camo Nails - Soooo Easy

Where do I begin with this color!  I absolutely love this color!  I think this color is so freaking unique and different just like me (NOT TO SOUND VAIN BUT HA!).  I don't even know where to begin trying to describe this color but what I do know is that I got alot of compliments on it.

I wore the color alone for a couple of days - I think a total of two before I got bored and waned to jazz it up.  I had been wanting to play with my nail foils for quite a while now; for some reason I keep feeding myself excuses but yet I find time to paint my nails every two days or so.  The thought of experimenting with them always haunted me - for some reason I thought they wouldn't come out right but I'm tripping because I watched a thousand tutorials on how to apply them.

The real reason is that if I made a mistake or the foil didn't stick I would totally get disgusted and remove the polish from all my nails and start over or with just a base color or would totally leave them alone for the night and I have too much damn polish to have naked nails.

I went into my foil container which holds approximately 15 various colors and patterns and chose something that would compliment the base color.  I chose this camouflage pattern which complimented the base color.

I applied them to three fingers on each hand after applying a thin coat of of foil glue and letting the glue dry for approx. three minutes.  Once the glue was transparent in color I applied the foil and rubbed my dotting tool all over the foil making sure it adhered to o the nail properly.  I was totally amazed that they all came out right but I wasn't quite done there.  I wanted to glow a little so I applied a iridescent halo polish to them and I was freaking happy.

I will definitely be playing with my foils a little bit more now especially since I have overcome my fear of ruining my manicure. I don't know why I'm so hard on myself it just freaking damn nail polish (I really wanted to use the other "F" word but I'll be a lady tonight).

Anyway here's the colors and brands I used:

Base Color:  SinfulColors- Leap Frog $.99
Halo Top Coat:  Essie Luxe Effect- Shine of the Times $8.00
Base Coat:  Pro-FX Fiberized Ridge Filler $5.97
Top Coat: Seche Vite - Fast Drying Top Coat $6.00












































The picture on the left was taken about four days after applying foil.  The picture on the right was taken the day I applied the nail foils after where the base color a couple of days.  So this manicure lasted about a week and a day.  I honestly got bored after wearing it two days but I stuck it out.

My Pinky Fingers

As we all are aware the month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - I have seen so many nail art photos paying homage to the cause that were absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

I decided that I didn't want to do anything fancy however I did want to pay homage in my own way and that was keeping it really simple.  I would have fried my brain trying to think of a design after viewing over 100+ photos and would have gotten frustrated.

I applied two thin coats - this is a creme polish and one thin coat of Pro-FX fast drying top coat (purchased @ Walmart).

Brand:  Essie
Color:  Mod Square #224
Price:  $8.00

SinfulColors Precious Metals

I thought I would try some of my nail polish I haven't touched which would be about 75% of them; I tend to have my favorites.  I fell in love with this color - not only did it compliment my skin color but it also got me out of my comfort zone.

This particular color is hard to describe...it's like a navy blue with a hint of gray with a foil like finish but not quite.

I don't know you tell me how you would describe it.I will definitely be trying a water marble with this color - i'm just not sure what i'm going to pair it with.

I'm trying to get back in the my zone of blogging again but today I'm totally drained and the little one wants all of my attention.

Bare with me - it will get better

This polish was purchased at Walgreens for .99

Glitter Bomb!!!!

So yesterday I was sooo bored and couldn't sit still - I've done my nails several times now and I want to get the feel of doing other peoples nails because believe it or not it is more complicated especially being a lefty!  

The rain came down and boredom kicked in so snatched my daughter up after Love and Hip Hop Atlanta went off and told her to remove her polish so that I can start getting my practice in.  I wanted to try a elaborate design but time (9:50pm) was escaping from me and my mornings start at 4am on Tuesdays so I had to opt for something simple yet colorful.

Products used:

• Sally Hansen Complete Manicure - Get Juiced (color 400)

SinfulColors - Crystal Clear

Well I think its' truly time for me to commit myself into rehab.  I have searched and reviewed nail blogs, YouTube tutorials and reviews,  and Instagram to the point of no return yesterday - all just to see whats the fuss about in regards to the new SinFulColors Shine Gel Tech Collection.  I fell in love with a blue hue (don't know the name) and work up to stalk Walgreen's at 6am in the local area of my job. I didn't find it but I found this beauty which I'm crazy about.

This color is called Crystal Clear (#1254) - it's loaded with lots of glitter and holographic foil pieces in a clear base which was thicker than their regular polishes. I swatched two nails in my car after my purchase ($2.99) and I am in awe.  These pictures do no justice with the shine and holographic chunks of foil that illuminates from my nails - but I'm quite sure I'll be following up this polish with a nice manicure.
