Rainbow Dots

Bam! First rainbow mani. I keep changing my mind as to if I like it.

Colors: Pure Ice- Excuse Me, Nailite- Champagne, 179,
China Glaze- 108 Degrees, Blue Iguana, Cha Cha Cha, and Senorita Bonita

The base color was Nailite's Champagne, which is far more gorgeous than I anticipated. Though I do wish it were slightly less sheer. This is two coats.

And the simple left hand.

 Perhaps if I had done smaller dots so there could have been five rows I would prefer it. Hmmmm.

Outline Nails

I decided to do something fairly simple for metallic nails- outlines. I like them more than I expected, though they're not nearly as cute as the panda nails.

Colors: Nailite's 283 and unlabeled green

And on the left hand, you can see these colors alone.

All in all, these are simple and flashy. I like 'em.

Panda Nails

So this was my first attempt at creating Panda nails, and I think they came out fairly cute. I saw these panda nails, and really liked the tip with pawprints. My prints I made a little rounder for easy identification. This is also my seventh post for the 31 nail art challenge.

Colors: Wet n Wild's Black Creme, Wet n Wild's French White Creme, Nailite's Mochaccino

 Base is two coats of the Mochaccino. I really love this pale gold, and for myself it can almost be worn as a nude.

These were taken in the shade, and you can see a little more gold in the Mochaccino.

All in all, I really like how these came out. And I'll definitely be attempting them again at some point!

Glitter Guilty's April Box

So I won this in Glitter Guilty's giveaway! The little chocolate-peanut butter square was really delicious, and had avoided melting. There was also a mini bottle of Seche Vite thrown in, which is awesome. Click any image to see a larger version!

 I went with a rather simple manicure to test these colors out- this is two thick coats for both. Simple as it is the large glitter really catches people's attention.

I really, really fancy the gray- April Showers- it has a lovely shimmer.

Colors: Glitter Guilty's April Showers and A Dainty Decoy
And as you can see here, the mini bottles really are rather mini.
