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 11(Seashells)

Hey Girls On  July 21st was Day 11 Of the Summer Challenge, so this is a sorta quick post to show my manicure for the theme which that day was Seashells. I don't know why but this theme gave me such a hard time I just didn't know what to do!!! As a last resort I opted out for something simple which reminds me A lot of the Little Mermaid Maybe it's because of the Color Scheme. On another Note I'm Sorry for the crappy sorta dark pictures I didn't have great lighting coming in through my window today (it was a rainy day) Also you might notice that the nail on my ring finger is slightly shorter and yes its because it broke ugh(today is not my day ) anyways here is my Seashell Manicure mixed in with starfish and little waves on the tips.
Before I forget, I made a Pinterest! and I would love if you head to my page and join me :) just click on the button on my side bar if you would like to follow my page :]

Polishes Used:
-Sally Hansen-The Real Teal (2 coats)
-Sally Hansen-Lime Llights (1 coat over the 1st polish)
-Sinful Colors-Pearl Harbor( 1 coats Iridescent glitter)

P.s I think I am Going to skip on the favorite Beach Memory Theme Because In all honesty I have None lol Hope you guys don't Mind :) However The rest of the girls do have some awesome Manis For you To See 

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

Summer Challenge-Day 9(Favorite Summer Memory)

I Have been slacking on posting for the summer Challenge again! :( I'm sorry Girls, however I have been seeing and commenting all of the awesome things you ladies have been posting!. Anyways as you can tell I have made some minor changes to my blog such as a whole new color scheme and a new background and I also Enlarged most of my pictures. Now I need your opinion should I have kept them small or is the larger images a better option? Okay Well Nail  time the Theme for Day 9 of the Kaki And Theodora Summer Challenge was Favorite Summer Memory.

My Favorite Summer Memory: My Prom

June 8,2011 was the day of my High school Senior Prom and let me tell you it was one of the most stressful things I have ever planned. To begin I had started shopping for my prom dress a month and a half before prom so I was on a bit of a deadline. I went to about 10 stores but could not find anything to my liking, until one day I entered this little boutique and fell in love with a Bedazzled Tutu, I tried it on and bought it. However later that day I began to have second thoughts so I went back to the store and returned it and tried about 20 dresses more. Unsatisfied I began to search online for something I really like and Stumbled into this beautiful Tony Bowls Coral Gown That was simple but had beautiful Swarovski Crystals Just below the bust line and I made it mine. Regardless of the before prom stress,Prom Night Turned out to be one of the most special and memorable nights of that summer.

This Manicure Is Based On My Prom Dress

Polish Used-Sally Hansen Casting Call (3 coats)
