Cross-Country Nails

I have my first cross-country race of the season Tuesday. I started with a base of OPI My Vampire is Buff. I used Color Clun Chelsea Girl and Almost Famous to create the dots and letters. My school colors are blue and gold so i chose thoose colors to create the details.

Summer Black And White

As summer draws to a close i decided to rock neon nails one last time.

I started with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls on all my finger. I then followed with two coats of Color Club Pop-Tastic. For the accent nail I did a chevron design using Scotch Tape and Pantone Anthracite. 

Mint Green Leaves

Today I used the Stamping Decal Technique for the first time to create this look. I started with 2 coats of Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet. I then used Konad Black, NYC High Line Green, Sally Hansen Green With Envy, and Sinful Colors Envy to create the decal.

Blue Flash Nail Art

I'm back with a little bit of nail art. My plan for the summer was to post 4-6 times a week and the time slipped away from me. Well I'm going to be better about posting and I plan to have a surprise video on Monday. Anyways lets check out the polish.

I started with a base of OPI Ski Teal We Drop. I then painted a stripe down the middle using Sephora By OPI in Slushied. Using the same technique as before I striped Revlon Blue Lagoon down the middle. I finished off with a white striper.

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.
