Pahlish-Great Wide Open

NailsByDiana has officially gone SHORT :( no more stiletto nails for a while, know what's the worst part? that my nails decided to break on the same day my Hungry Caterpillar Manicure was being shared on Facebook by two nail art pages, and the comments that people were posting about my nail shape were pretty mean and straight rude. I think my nails got their feelings hurt and broke! LOL well whatever that's life people will be assholes & nails will break from time to time. However I will let my nails grow out again because I can't stand to see myself with short nails It's just not comfortable. I was thinking of not blogging anymore until they were ready to be shown again but what the hell I love blogging! and I doubt I can neglect this blog for months. So please my dear readers bear with me while I go through this growing process :)

      In other news I have been buying a lot of Indie Polishes, and this one i'm about to show you just became one of my FAVORITE glitters I freaking love it!!!!!! It's from the Indie Brand Called Pahlish & this one is called Great Wide Open it's a mix of almost any white glitter shape,metallic&matte colored glitters, hexes,diamonds,bar,square glitter & more It's Amazing no kidding and the formula was flawless! not goopy, or thick or anything like that.

This Is one Coat of Great Wide Open Over 2 coats of 

China Glaze-Stone Cold & 2 coats Of Seche Vite

You Can Find Pahlish at 

Pahlish Etsy Store for $8.50

or 

Llarowe's Shop for $8.00

31 Day Challenge:Day 10-Gradient

Welcome to Day 10! I must admit I loveeeee Gradients! They are one of my favorite things to do, recently I discovered that if you brush a light coat of Glue around your cuticles and let it dry the polish that gets on the sides is easily removed so no need for the acetone and brush ladies! anyways here is what I have to show you for today!

Polish Used 
China Glaze-Kinetic Candy
Sinful Colors-Zeus
Diamond Cosmetics- Not Your "Hum Drum" Plum
Sparkles By Julie-Sugah
You Can find this awesome topper Here On Julie's Etsy Store
P.s: Her Original Version of Sugah includes iridescent glitter which I asked if she could remove from mine so if you would like the same version I have just send her an E-mail :) plus she has a great selection of polishes!

Something Bright

Hey beauties, how are you all doing today!? I'm feeling pretty blah, school is starting up again soon and   i'm not really looking forward to it, It's going to take some time to get back into the swing of things. Plus Color Club really needs to put out their Holo Hues ASAP lol .However in better news I joined the 31 day challenge over at Kimber'slaquerkorner :) what I really liked about hers is that it's not every day she decided to do it every 3 days which in my opinion is great! & i'm really looking forward to it :).
anyways on to today's nails I decided to do a very bright manicure with geometrical shapes, take a look.

Polish Used:
China Glaze-I'm with the lifeguard(3 coats)
Jordana-Magenta Magic over China Glaze Flying Dragon

Use Your Fan Brush

If there was one thing I didn't know how to use when I received my set of nail art brushes was the......Fan Brush, Lol like seriously I was like "what the hell is this"..to me it was a brush that had no use until today, I finally brought it out to play. I started by first painting my nails with a base color of choice(China Glaze-Elephant Walk) then I took the fan brush and dipped the tips into the acrylic paint, wiped off the excess and lightly brushed it against my nails. & this is what I ended up looking like. Enjoy :)

Polish Used
-China Glaze-Elephant Walk ( 2 coats)
-green,gold,navy blue, purple,lilac,
orange,white,gold: Acrylic Paint. ( for brush strokes)

Will you be putting your fan brush to use?

XOXO

Summer Challenge Day 15-Ocean/Sea

I'm a day late :( Sorry Girls, So this will be quick, Yesterday was Day 15 of the Kaki & Theodora Summer Challenge. Yesterday's theme was Ocean/Sea. I guess I wanted to do something you would find underneath the surface and what better than beautiful red Coral with little fishies and seaweed. ( the fish are the silver things lol hardly noticeable)
Polishes Used
China Glaze-Kinetic Candy (3 coats)
China Glaze-Flying High (for gradient)
Catrice Million Styles-Have An Ice Day 
Acrylic Paints.

here are the rest of the girls :)

Summer Challenge Day 14-Swimsuit

Yesterday Was the third to last day of the summer challenge! :( The theme was Swimsuits. Well recently I bought this super cute bathing suit online (which i'm still waiting for) i'ts blue with pink leopard print and black fringe, the print is what I based my nails on :)
Polishes Used:
China Glaze-Aquadelic (2 coats)
China Glaze-Fuchsia Fanatic (spots)
Wet n Wild-Black Creme

Hmm Sorta Typical Leopard print I guess lol, I'm sure the other girls have cooler manis :)

Cling Wrap & Half Moons.

I Finally got around to creating a Half Moon Manicure!!! I think that for my first time It didn't turn out so bad. However having to wait until my base color dries so then I can put the circular reinforcements in order to create the half moon can be a little annoying, because if It's not completely dry it literally rips off the base color, so beware! The Color I used for the bottom half of the nail Is China Glaze-Flip Flop Fantasy, I waited a bit and applied one thin coat of Sally Hansen Honey Whip on top of flip flop fantasy and used the cling wrap technique and painted some triangles with some acrylic paints.
 BTW: That shade below is not an accurate color of Flip Flop Fantasy In real Life it's a beautiful bright neon pink not A coral like it shows below

Polish Used

-Main Color-Butter London-The Full Monty(3 coats)

-China Glaze-Flip flop fantasy ( 2 coats)

-Sally Hansen-Honey whip 

-Acrylic paints( Black & white)

See how much difference lighting makes, my hands don't look as terrible as the post below lol, 

however guess what!! today I sold my Canon Xsi! now i'm in search for a real nice camera that takes great macro shots do you ladies have any suggestions?

Summer Challenge-Day 10(Tropical Drink)

Tropical Drink Time!! :).Well let's see if there is anything I love more than nail polish is a nice fruity tropical ice cold drink, Like a Sex on the Beach Or a nice Pina Colada! But who can go wrong with a lime margarita or am I wrong? Lol just to clear things up I am under the drinking age requirement (which here in NY is 21) but a little drink once in a while doesn't hurt anybody plus I will be 21 in what another year and a Half LOL :P
anyways here is my Lime margarita Gradient with Salted edges :D

Photo Credit

Polish Used:
China Glaze-Gaga For Green (3 coats)
Sally Hansen-Green With Envy( for the gradient)

Cheers!
