Spongy

I love this base coat from Orly's new line Mineral FX. It's so multi-faceted and pretty. It's a more pink red with awesome purple and orange glitter undertones. But I have committed myself to never just to a single polish, so I added some other purple colors via sponging. It was fun and a great final look.

I painted three coats of Orly Mineral FX in Emberstone and sponged the following colors: China Glaze Grape Juice and Zoya Valerie. Finishing top coat was Seche Vite.

A Splash Of Glitter

This manicure was so fun to have on my nails. It wasn't originally what I had in mind, I actually was going to do a more all over glitter, but when I started and the first nail I glittered was clustered and asymmetrical, I loved it! So even though it's full of bling, less was more all said and done!

I painted three coats of Zoya Paris and then added Silver holo dot nail glitter flakes from Esther's Nail Center. I finished the manicure with one coat of Seche Vite.

Change of Color

I'm having a hard time accepting that it's fall, but I'm working on it. Even if it's hard to part with summer, the one great thing fall brings is color, color, color. This manicure is a step in the right direction for me embracing cooler temperatures and the seasonal retirement of my two-wheeled vehicle (boo).







I painted three coats of China Glaze Brownstone and added to the bottom of the manicure LA Splash Cosmetics nail glitter in Pot 'O Gold. To the tip of the manicure I alternated three colors of Konad Special Stamping Polish in Apple Green, Psyche Pink and Yellow with Bundle Monster plate BM209 with the final touch of Seche Vite on top (one coat).

Eye Spy

This was a quickie manicure after a failed attempt before it (different design scheme with no photographic evidence left behind). This stamp reminds me of eyes, obviously, so my fingers were following me wherever I went.




I painted three coats of China Glaze Loft-Y Ambitions and used China Glaze Platinum Silver with Bundle Monster plate BM212 and finished the manicure with one coat of Seche Vite.

Fire Web

Sorry to be behind in posting. I have lots of legitimate excuses, but they probably don't really matter. So I'll get right to the posting. This was a great red shimmer that doesn't show off its subtle hue change in these photos. The top red and the red underneath the Bundle Monster stamp are not the same. I've shown several photos at my attempt to capture.







I painted three coats of Orly Rock-It and then sponged Orly Emberstone on the tips of my nails. At the bottom of the divide of colors I used Bundle Monster plate BM208 with Konad Special Polish in Psyche Pink and Yellow. I painted one coat of Seche Vite to finish the manicure.

Romantic Purple

I needed something easy and quick and Bundle Monster (or Konad) is always a great way to get a fun manicure with minimal hassle. And spicing up stamping is by using multiple colors in the design.

I painted three coats of Zoya Neeka and added Konad Special Stamping Polish in Violet and Orly Luxe. One coat of Seche Vite was used to seal the manicure.

Disco Sparkle

As you can tell I've been on a sparkle kick again, but I'm adding a touch of water marbling to set it off. This manicure was hard to capture in photos. It is so hard to capture blues and purples sometimes and when I put them together, it looked awesome on the nail, but photos didn't really do them justice. I found the best ones I could and I'm sure you get the idea...

You can also see my left pinky and I got in a major fight....

I painted on all fingers but my ring two coats of China Glaze First Mate. On those fingers I added royal blue, large dot flake glitter I bought From Esther's Nail Center and to fill in the space between the large dots, I added LA Splash Cosmetics Nail Art Glitter in Illusion. For my ring fingers, I added two coats of China Glaze SeƱorita Bonita and marbled with it China Glaze First Mate. For the entire manicure, I finished the look with one coat of Seche Vite.
