Pineapple Skittle

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Today I have a super cute pineapple skittle, inspired by elleandish on YouTube.

I think this is the perfect manicure to celebrate the end of the summer!

Thumb & Pinky

I used two coats of China Glaze Metro Pollen-Tin. Then, I added some gold studs to add something a little extra!

Index

I started off with two coats of China Glaze At Vase Value. Then, I added three white stripes using L.A. Colors Art Deco White Striper and added a gold stud.

Middle

I started off with two coats of Wet n Wild French White Creme. Then taking China Glaze Metro Pollen-Tin I drew an oval. I used L.A. Colors Art Deco Stripers in Bright Green and Bright Orange to add the pineapple's characteristics. The pineapple is a little off center, but practice makes perfect. :)

Ring

I started off with two coats of China Glaze At Vase Value and I topped it off with one thick coat of a Sally Hansen Gem Crush in Bling-Tastic.

What do you think? Have you ever thought about rocking fruit as a mani?

Twin Nails: Complimentary Colors with I Feel Polished

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

 

Today I have another collaboration post! This time I worked with Heather from I Feel Polished to create a twin mani using complimentary colors. I'll be honest when I say, this mani took me forever, but it was worth it in the end.

 

 

 

 

We decided to go with a red-violet and yellow mix. Zoya Mason and Sation Abbacadazzle fit this to a tee! For each nail I started off with two coats of the Sation. Then I came in with the Zoya and worked some nail art magic. 

 

 

I would have never thought to put these two colors together, but I'm glad we did. They make the perfect combo!

Make sure to show Heather some love at her blog, on Facebook, and on Instagram! :)

Independence Day!

Hello Lacquer Lovers!

Happy Independence Day to all of my US ladies!

Today's post will be super quick, but it is a momentous occasion! My right hand turned out better nail art wise than my left, which never happens!

On my pinkie I used two coats of L.A. Colors BCC566, which is a navy shimmer. I applied one coat of Orly Spazmatic over it. It is the perfect navy combo!

On my ring finger I started off with two coats of Wet n Wild French White Creme. I then applied one coat L.A. Colors Art Deco Nail Art Striper in Red Glitter. It has more of a pink pay off, so I suggest two coats. Next to Red Glitter I applied one coat of L.A. Colors Art Deco Nail Art Striper in Blue Glitter. I wish they had more original names!

My middle finger has two coats of OPI Red My Fortune Cookie, which is my go to red! Using L.A. Colors Nail Art Striper in Silver I drew an anchor. A tutorial will be up on that soon!

Again I used two coats of OPI Red My Fortune Cookie on my index finger. I layered one coat of China Glaze Ring in the Red over it.

On my thumb I have two coats of Jindie-PENDENCE over Wet N Wild White French Creme. You can find a full review HERE. 

As always I started off with a base coat and topped it off with top coat!

Don't forget about my GIVEAWAY!

See you in a few days!
