Camo Nails

You may not know this but i'm a bit of a country girl! I currently live in the small hill town that I grew up in. My high school had under 400 kids. Today i decided to go back to my roots with camo nails.

O.P.I - Don't Mess With OPI

O.P.I - Stranger Tides

China Glaze - Mahogany Magic

Spoiled - Pumping Gas

I grabbed a dotting tool and just started stippling random colors on the nail. I didn't really do a pattern. I then added topcoat and I was not very please so I then added a matte topcoat...

I used Julep Matte Topcoat. I think it looks a lot better and more realistic. I really please with how this turned out.

Mint Manis For Talia

This is probably one of the hardest and most emotional blog post I will ever have to write. Talia Joy Castellano known as Taliajoy18 was a talented beauty guru made famous by YouTube. She has been fighting a 6 year war cancer that unfortunately was lost on Tuesday. She was an inspiration and filled every one around her with warmth and joy. Talia was an aspiring make-up artist that was so talented. I spent a good part of my day Tuesday watching her videos with my mother. Cancer effects everybody and I hope and pray that one day there will be a cure. I have lost my Grandparents to cancer and one of my Aunts is currently battling stage 4 pancreas cancer.

The genius behind the mint mani idea was Nicole from Nail Polish Wars. She came to a group of us Facebook and everyone jumped at the chance to honor Talia's memory. Please use #mintmanisfortaliajoy if you post a picture on instagram.

On my ring finger I used two coats of Angel Wings and on the rest I used Mint Sprint. I decided to keep this mani simple. Thank you Talia for being such an inspiration and rest in paradise.

Butter London- Trout Pout Swatch

I purchased this little beauty back in April. I am now finally getting around to posting it. Oh how the time flies...

Trout Pout is a uber bright coral that leans a little pink. It is shown here with 2 coats. The formula is flawless. Trout Pout is absolutely gorgeous and I don't have anything like this in my stash. I'm going to be rocking this polish through out the summer.

Princess Stamping

Hello summer!!! Now that school is out and summer vacation has started I hope to post A LOT more. Here is today's mani...

For this mani I started with 3 coats of Sation- Of Corset I'll Call You followed my one coat of Color Club- Femme Fatale. Unfortunately you can't see the shimmer of Femme Fatale in my pictures :( I then stamped using Konad Black and CH-52. I love this look and it reminds me of princesses.

Happy 4th Of July!!! +Mani

Happy 4th Of July and to those not in the U.S, Happy Thursday! Today's mani is fairly simple but cute.

China Glaze- White On White
Color Club- Chelsea Girl
Wet 'n' Wild- Heatwave
China Glaze- Glistening Snow

I started with a base of White On White. I then created large dots with Heatwave and Chelsea Girl. Using a smaller dotting tool I made small dots with Glistening Snow. Using the same doting tool I filled the middle of the large dots with White On White.
