Not So Blue Mani

Do I have a comeback mani for you!! I was inspired by a nail artist named Chelsea. Chelsea is the blog owner of Get Nailed, and boy is she creative!! I followed one of her videos on YouTube to create this look.

The colors I used are Sephora by OPI Slushied and OPI My Boyfriend Scaled the Walls. For the glitter I  did it a bit different then the way Chelsea uses them, I just used loose hex glitter I bought from Nail Envy.

I hope you love this mani as much as I did, because another variation is coming your way very soon!!

Indie Feature: NerdLacquer Cyance Friction

Cyance Friction

This polish is a beautiful teal polish with pink shimmer as well as gold and teal glitter dispersed into perfection.

This has to be one of my favorite NerdLacquers of all time. The color combination is just so gorgeous and its really just pure perfection.

Candeo Colors Divebomb Jelly Sandwich

When I received Candeo Colors Divebomb in the mail I knew immediately I wanted to do a jelly sandwich.

For those who do not know what a jelly sandwich is, when it comes to nails, it's when you apply a color, like a cream, then add a glitter or flakie, and top it off with a jelly-like finish nail polish.

For my jelly sandwich I used New York Summer Hot Sky Blue. New York Summer has some awesome jelly polishes!

This next photo looks a bit off on my skin color, but I edited it to show the depth of the glitter in the jelly sandwich.

I applied two coats of NYS Hot Blue Sky, then two coats of Candeo Divebomb, and finally, one coat of NYS Hot Blue Sky.

This mani lasted me quite a while, for more than 4 days wear! The formula on both of these polishes were excellent!

Chanel Nouvelle Vague

Nouvelle Vague is a gorgeous turquoise nail polish color released by Chanel in their Summer 2010 collection.

This color applied like butter and was perfected to my liking in three coats. Now I can't decide whether I want to stamp over this or do a glitter gradient!! So many choices!! I may just leave it as is in all it's glory and simplicity.

HITS Cutie Pie and Jazz MATTEFIED!!!

As you may have seen my posts from the past couple of days I have added and added to my HITS Cutie Pie manicure! Well today, I have another addition to it!

Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love

Whenever I do duochrome mani's it's almost second nature for me to add flakie and matte to it, it just brings out so much character to the nail polish!!

HITS Jazz and HITS Cutie Pie

Yesterday I showed you HITS Cutie Pie, that gorgeous purple to blue shifting duochrome!! Well today, I added HITS Jazz, a gorgeous green and blue flakie!!!

Sorry for the picture spam, but I really wanted to capture the color shifts in all it's glory!! 

This combination is one of my favorites to do, duochrome and flakie!! What gets better than that? Just wait and see tomorrow ;)

HITS Mari Moon Cutie Pie

Recently I posted about receiving my Brazilian swap package. In that package was a beautiful nail polish that goes by the name Cutie Pie!

HITS Cutie Pie

Cutie Pie is part of the Mari Moon set made by the brand HITS. Cutie Pie is a gorgeous multi chrome shimmery nail polish.

*WARNING: Very picture heavy!!*

As you can see this polish is just gorgeous and has many shifting colors, but the main colors being purple to blue.

The application was a little tricky and balding was an issue, but I was somewhat satisfied by applying three coats.

Stay tuned...because tomorrow I am adding a *BAM* to this mani!!!
