Plaid?

Morning everyone. Hope everyone is having a great Saturday so far. Only four more days til Christmas, isn't that crazy. I feel like time is going by so fast these days. Anyone have any plans for New Years, or your New Years Mani? In the mean time I've had this color combination in my head for a while and finally got around to doing something with it. 

  I'm not really sure what this pattern is, some sort of plaid striping maybe? I can always count on striping tape to really come out clean and interesting. 

I'm pleased with the color combination. The silver gives these guys a festive air even though this light peach is pretty off season right now. 

The shade of orange I used in person is more on the melon side then straight orange but the lighting on these pictures don't really portray that. As an after thought I used the tiny holographic disks to add some additional details to this pretty straight forward design. What do you think? 

Base: Essie Loop Hole

Accent: Revlon Peachy

Some Fan Fun

Well I'm taking a quick break from playing The Walking Dead Xbox game to come post these bad boys so I'll make it snappy. Everyone has one of these right? Well then you can do these:

After letting your base coat dry dip your fan brush in any accent color and gently swipe it across your nails. THE END. Yea super simple but very pretty. I've seen girls use multiple color as an accent it look pretty great but tonight I just decided to keep it simple. I then traced a few of the line with my Art of Silver Milane   nail striper for some added glitz. I finally got my hands on some Cult Nails Wicked Fast and boy am I loving it. I'm still a Seche girl since it's so easy to come by but wow talk about a smooth finish. 

Base : Cult Nails Disciplined 

Accent: American Apparel Lopez Canyon 

Is this Love?

Quick post tonight guys so I'll just get right to the goods. I'm a little upset with China Glaze Sunset Sail which I used as my base because the day after doing this manicure I noticed some really terrible tip wear which you'll notice below. I love the soft sherbety (< not a word) color and it's a nice contrast to the accent colors I used but that much wear after one day is no bueano. Here's a look a fell in love with from Dressed Up Nails that I watered down a bit.

The colors used are;

Thumb- American Apparel Lopez Canyon

Pointer- Love & Beauty Mint

Middle- OPI Jade is the New Black

Ring- Anise Is this Love?

Pinky- NYC Sidewalkers 

Oh and I accidently uploaded a picture of my dog so I left it, mostly because I love her :)

31 Day Challenge- Day 2: Orange

For day number two I used OPI Are We There Yet which is a really gorges orange with a shimmery base. This is yet another color I had not got around to trying which is crazy because I really love it. 

Even though the orange is a really lovely shade I was bored so I just kind of kept building it up. First with Art Deco's black striping brush. Here I just kind of add random lines and dots to spice up a couple nails. Then once that dried I used Milani's Art of Silver striping brush and traced over the black. 

Finally I added a final accent line here and there with Art Deco's White striping brush. I happen to think the white was over kill but I barely wore these guys for a day so I let it slide, this time :)  

See you tomorrow folks:
