Some nail art!

I'm still felling very spring-y and happy so I was motivated to do some nail art! This is also for a contest ;)

All the flowers are blooming and everything looks and smells so nice. This is inspired by this flower here from this picture I found on the internet.

Its rather small clicking to enlarge won't really help... 

Here is my nail art! 

I had some fun posing....

Bet you guys are wondering how I did it!! Well, I started off by sponging a base with white, sheer pink, and a peachy color. Later I realized I could have just used a sheer pink base coat...Then, I sponged triangles with a yellow/gold in the center of my nail. Finally I added some stripes of a dark red/berry! 

Tadd-A! I am very proud ! :D

spring sunday!

I believe it is still officially winter, but it sure feels like spring...We finally had some rain! (Yay plants)

Anyway, I'm switching my mind set to spring feel-good colors. During all the seasons, I try to have a manicure that cheers me up/inspires me/ makes me feel happy! Spring is just more so. Onto the polish!

This is actually another guest appearance from my right hand. I think she will be making more appearances on my blog. ;) I am wearing one coat of OPI Alpine Snow and 2 coats of my franken, Mazarine* Salt (yay a franken with a name) top with a coat of SV. I think this would also look cool over black but the white brightened it up.

 *Vocab word of the day! 

Mazarine : a deep, rich blue*  Im deciding to pronounce it Maz-ar-I'-ne 

Its a little chipped up, but you get the picture.

Mazarine Salt is a sheer blue based pearly polish with scattered blue sparkle particles (the salt).

I recommend clicking on the pictures to ENLARGE them! You can see the sparkles better. One coat would have left the sparkles sitting more individually, to a cool effect.

Also, I will try put up a new poll on the sidebar biweekly. I encourage you to take part!

Happy Sunday!

lemony layering combo

Hey!
here is another non vday mani lol...

I was going to swatch one of the L'Oreal polishes I had gotten, Tweet Me, but it turned out to be too sheer to wear on its own. So I layered!

Here I start with 2 coats of Orly Hook Up

shade

Then I added 2 coats of L'Oreal Tweet Me

A very cheerful combo!

Formula for Hook Up was great though the brush was smaller than usual

Hook up is a yellow/gold with a slightly frosty finish

I was hoping for more fun micro glitter in Tweet Me, though in the right light it is more evident

and you can see more than one color.
