Mint Chocolate Interlocking dots

Hey everyone! I hope you are doing well!!

This manicure isn't what I originally planned but I'm totally not used too long nails and I had an insane time trying too get the striping tape straight!! I don't know how you ladies do it, seriously I applaud you all!

My base for all of my nails is Nubar Green Silver Glitter. That's across ALL nails.

I used Cult Nails Spontaneous and taped off a triangle (not a straight one you LOL) You can kind of see the pink shimmer in Spontaneous, but I think it tones down the holographic, can't keep your eyes off of your nails look of GSG.

TADA!

To create the dotticure, I first taped off the section that I wanted to paint with Nubar Jewel. After I painted the section I let it dry slightly then started doing the dots! You definitely don't have too tape off the section though I didn't with my right hand. :P #rebel I'm sure there are tutorials out there on how to create an interlocking dot mani, but I can always do a tutorial if you would like... It's really really easy.

I seriously LOVE how this turned out, it kind of reminds me of chocolate ice cream dripping... Is that weird? Did I just make you want ice cream?! :P On my ring finger I used striping tape to create the sunburst. The hardest part was to get the vertical line straight down the middle, then it was a walk in the park.
I topped the entire mani off with Glisten & Glow HK Girl Top Coat

I love this mani seriously. What do you think?!

All  of the polishes were purchased by me with my own money with the exception of G&G HK Girl Topcoat.

New Years Nails!

Purchased Myself / PR Sample

Hey everyone! I hope you all are having a safe New Years Eve so far! Or if you're reading this after, I hope you had a safe New Years! May 2014 be nothing but blessings!

Originally, this was going to be one post, with nails and makeup, but I decided to just split it up. 

I used one base polish on ALL of the nails.

Topped with Glisten & Glow HK Girl top coat

I really like how this manicure turned out. Granted I only did the 4 nails, but I still really like how it turned out! I wish this was on my nails I would be totally be happy! 

For some reason, I really love this picture. I love how Cult Nails Feedback is front and center and it looks exceptionally awesome over Iron Butterfly. 

Even though my 2014 is messed up thanks to my Niece, I love the mani in it's entirety. I must say, I'm pretty damn impressed with myself. 

What's on your nails for New Years?!

Holiday Mani #2!

I wanted to do another Holiday manicure, but my cuticles are so busted up right now from being neglected that I decided to do my Mom's nails. The entire manicure was supposed to be Silver and Gold themed (anyone automatically start singing the song?!), but alas after I did the first nail, I decided to do a Christmas Tree on the ring finger, then Mom suggested using red, then after that she suggested using the dark blue I had as well. LOL. So this turned into a totally random mani!

Oh! I also want to mention, please bear with me on mani pictures. I'm still getting used to the new camera and the angles aren't quite right on 2/3 of the pictures, then the pinky is out of focus on another. Pft. I promise to get the hang of it soon!

I really like how they all turned out actually. My Mom's nails have a LOT more surface to work with then mine do and at the same time it's easier to do "nail art" on someone else's nails then my own.

See what I mean about the pinky being out of focus? ;P

Are you tired of seeing holiday nail art yet?! :P I have a couple of reviews left to finish 2013, then I'm going to get on the ball and get tons of posts scheduled for the new year! Exciting right?!

Have a lovely day! xoxo
