so hold me closer tiny dancer

2nd manicure of today!
I got a little lazy with my swatching tonight so I did two colours on one hand.

Thumb & Middle Finger: Wet n Wild "Bite the Bullet" 2 coats

Index & Ring Finger: Revlon Scented Collection "Beach" 3 coats

Pinky Finger: Bite the Bullet with Beach on top.

For my pinky finger, I decided to try something new and I layered the two colours, when I first thought of the idea I figured it'd look silly, but, it turns out that I really liked it! It gives it a goldish look that I really liked!
As for "Bite the Bullet", I really like it and it went on flawlessly!
However, "Beach" was less impressive to me. In natural light it's a lot more yellow than it appears in the bottle. I kinda like it though! As for the scent, when I smell it, it reminds me of sunscreen rather than the beach.

cause todaaaay is a great day, for fallin in love.. ;)

I didn't post a picture of yesterdays Canada Day manicure because it was sloppy and just all around unattractive, SO, I have a couple for today! (This post and the next)
I've been on quite a turquoise/teal kick lately! I bought several new polishes this week and a third of them were turquoise/teal!

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Makeover: Fairy Teal - 3 coats! (2 was perfect but as I took pictures after a full day of errands and such, I chipped a couple of nails and added a third coat just for the swatch.)

I LOVE this polish and colour! It's going to the top of my list!

I'm not too fond of this manicure =/ It just didn't turn out like I intended it to.

Nicole by OPI, Justin Bieber Collection "Prized Posession Purple", 4 coats.

Yellow Nail Art by Kiss, with a little rhinestone.

pink wednesday

So, I stumbled upon this concept before I started my blog but never participated.

Here's the banner & a link so you all can check it out!

Although I had a yellow manicure for my brothers graduation I decided to do a really quick, really rough pink manicure just to use my neglected pink polishes and to participate in this awesome idea!

Base: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri "Sonic Bloom" - 2 coats (In the bottom picture, it's the middle stripe)

The top and bottom stripes are two shades of pink from Kiss Nail Art.

they call me mellow yelloooow (:

I had my brothers grade nine graduation and despite the fact that today is Wednesday and we wear pink on Wednesdays (See next blog), my dress is black, white and yellow. So, without further adieu, today's manicure.

Base Coat: Sally Hansen X-Treme Wear "Mellow Yellow"

FIVE coats. This polish just was not working for me. As you can see in my top pictures, there's a couple flaws that just would not cover so I let the nail art cover them.

The nail art is Black nail art by Kiss. I kinda liked this manicure better with 2 flowers on the thumb and then just 1 on each other one but I got a little carried away.

you're the last of your kind, mona lisa.

New manicure! However, i'm sure that by the end of tonight, i'll have a different one.

Base: Sally Hansen X-Treme Wear "Celeb City" - 2 coats

With Nail art paint by Kiss

* Typically, all my nail art takes only one coat but this green color took two, it's just a little too sheer for one.

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"
