Hump Day Stripes

Hey all! Hope your week is FLYING by. Mine is going at a steady rate but it will be Friday soon enough :)

So I decided to stick with my blue theme. Or just keep painting my nails blue until I feel that I need a different color. I posted a pic last post of a nail pic I found on my camera and I liked the idea of vertical stripes. So what I did was paint on my base coat, then put on 3 coats of ORLY Blue Collar. It didn't need 3 but I usually stick with that just in case. Then once that dried pretty much, I started painting stripes on the nails, one down the middle and then two on each side. I have a pretty steady hand so I free handed them all using the Kiss striping brush.

I really like the color combo with the bright blue and the black. I was actually debating adding the white dots like the other picture but I felt it would seem like I was trying to make a snow storm on my nails. I have enough of that weather outside than need a daily reminder on my nails. No thanks!


Overall I really like the look. I will probably keep it on for at least 2 days :)

Colorful Nails

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a good weekend.

I saw these nails online. I'm not really sure where I found them. If you know where, let me know. So anyways, I still don't like the shape of my nails but they are growing pretty fast so it wont be too long till I can square them out again. So I started with my base coat. Then I did a line of Avon Sunshine, then a line of OPI, Ya'll come back ya hear, ORLY Passion fruit, and ORLY Blue collar. After those dried, I put on a layer of Avon Black Mosaic.
I really prefer this Mosaic to the OPI Shatter. I have noticed the Shatter has a goopyness over time and it ruins the brush.

I really like this design, It's bright and fun and it really reminds me of Lisa Frank 
I was in class when I took these so the lighting is kind of weird. But I hope you can still see how fun this is.
This is in the car so see how the colors come out in natural light? B-E-A-utiful :)

I hope you all enjoy this. I do. I might actually keep this for a while until my nails grow out some more.
