Black vs. Grey Shatter

OPI Black Shatter
China Glaze Crackle Glaze - Cracked Concrete
I decided to try out black and gray shatters over my water marble nails to see how they looked. In my last post there was a colorful shatter mani that I really liked. I have to say the black shatter wins hand down. I was excited with the idea of the gray shatter but it is lackluster to say the least. It is is dull flat gray and I have had trouble finding pairings for it because it washes out most of my colors. I guess I'm just still a fan of the black shatter.

What are your favorite color combos for shatter?

Water Marble Success

Image
Happy Friday All! Today I have for you as promised my second full-on attempt of a water marble. If you follow me on Twitter I gave a sneak peak of this last night. I was so excited to show it off.  I have been wanting to try this again since my first time I attempted it. The first time I water marbled it was a disaster. They did not turn out the way I wanted and it literally took me 3 hours to do both hands. It was exhausting to say the least and I was a tad bit apprehensive to try it again. Boy am I glad I DID! Look how freaking cool this turned out. Had to showcase the thumb! L-R Sally Hansen Blue Me Away, Wet Concrete, Mellow Yellow. I used a base of Wet n Wild White Creme under the water marble. I used all Sally Hansen polishes for my water marble. I love this color scheme. My sister told me it looked very 70's. I agree! Many water marble tutorials out there tell you to use room temperature water. I tried that and I could not get the polishes to spread out. I...

Turning 25 on the 25th! Cupcake Mani

Image
I am 25 Today!!! Well today is my b-day and I had the hardest time trying to figure out what to do with my nails. I even went so far as to ask my followers what to do and the response was cupcakes. I really doubted myself that I could even do it. I sat down with some paper and attempted to do this on paper before I went ahead with my nails. Needless to say it worked out well on paper so to my nails it went. I have to say I absolutely love it! It turned out so well and they actually look like cupcakes. I used quite a few polishes for this mani. The Base of the whole mani is Wet n Wild Tickled Pink. The frosting was made by using Wet n Wild French White Creme. The hearts on top the cupcake are glitter pieces from Love My Nails Crazy For You. I used L.A. Colors Art Deco Black Striper on the bottom of the cupcakes. For the cupcakes I used: Purple - Sinful Colors Beverly Hills Blue - Sinful Colors Paradise Yellow - Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow Pink - China Glaze Shocking Pink Green ...

I've Got The Blues Week - Pure Ice French Kiss

Image
Hi Guys! Here is I've Got The Blues Day 2! I have to show you today a great mani I did. I started off with one coat of this great Pure Ice polish called French Kiss. I then used my China Glaze Matte Magic to mattify my nails. I then used a bobby pin to make the clear dots. I love this polish and plan to wear it again soon. It was opaque in one coat. Can you believe that? I was pretty astonished it's like a very true blue creme polish. Love how this turned out but the nails remind me of a blue Muno from Yo Gabba Gabba. If you have kids you probably know what I'm talking about. I do not have kids but my niece was obsessed with these guys a couple years back. I hope you guys are enjoying I've Got The Blues Weeks so far. I have much more great blues coming!
