black & white nails.

Day seven of the 31 Day Challenge, black and white nails!

Now, I was shockingly out of ideas and didn't want to do another zebra print manicure because I find that i'm wearing those quite a bit lately. I also sort of knew that I wanted french tips today, but since it's black and white, I needed a little twist!
I did this really quickly and the pictures are to be desired as they were taken later last night than I would have liked.

White: Sally Hansen Xtreme Nails "White On" 2 coats
Black: Sally Hansen Xtreme nails "Black Out" 1 coat

random manicure.

So, I had an idea in my head and I tried it on paper, it just didn't work out. So, not being able to decide on a design, I just did a bunch of random ones.
First, a base coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri "Mint Sprint". This is ONE coat, the formula of this polish is amazing.

Then, I added one coat of "CHARMING", I got it for Christmas and I *think* the brand is The Color Institute, but there's no brand on the bottle.

Then, a coat of OPI Black Shatter on my ring finger.

Followed by various nail art done with Kiss Nail Art Polishes in black and white.
On top of that, two coats of Wet N Wild "Party of Five Glitters"

lightening

So, this is the BEST yellow polish i've ever used. I've had it for years and wear it regularly. It is the least streaky yellow i've ever used and I took a picture of the first and third coats to show this.
It's by Sally Hansen Insta-Dri and is called "Lightening".

monarch mani.

I did this manicure today, adapted from the many, many, many times i've seen this done in different ways. I was inspired by a tank top I bought today and needed a new manicure to match it.




The orange base is actually just from a dollar store; the brand is SHC but there isn't a color listed on the bottle.

The designs are again done with Kiss Nail Art Paint; black for the outline, white for the dots and silver for a little added glam!
