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.

Violet Bubbles

Click any image to see the full version!
Lately I've been seeing many bubbles, or circular outlines and I rather like them. So this is my first attempt at them and playing with them. I assume there will be more to come, perhaps rainbow bubbles.

Colors: Nailite's 259 and Zoya's Rihana

I started off with a Rihana base, and I really love this flashy color.

And it sparkles in the sun oh-so nicely.
