Sprinkle by nails inc. London

I was really super excited to try this new special effect by nails inc. I was quite skeptical at first after seeing the display photos but this is probably the easiest, quickest, awesomest (yes that's a word in my vocabulary :) ) manicure ever!!! The pictures shown below are Topping Lane and I used 2 coats. You can buy it at Sephora.com or at your local Sephora store. There are 4 colors and at my store they were up by the registers. :) On a side note this was after 2 days of wear with no top coat.

Taped Nails

I decided to try this tape effect on my nails this evening since I had a lot of time. I didn't have any painter's tape so I decided to try it with scotch tape. It took awhile it get it cut into small strips and I had to be very gentle when I took them off after applying the black on top. If you try/tried this I would like to see how yours came out!!!

Magnetic Nails

Another trip to Sally resulted in Finger Paints Cop An Attitude magnetic nail polish and China Glaze Magnetix 3 design tool. I really like the color it's a nice copper color and I didn't have hardly any problem using the tool. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants a quick, easy design on their nails. 

Red, White and Glitter!!!!!

I came home from a wonderful girl's day to find I received my Julep Box today!!! I had to immediately try this especially since it's 4th of July!!! Shown here is the It Girl box which contains Mila: multi glitter; Kate: white color; Daphne: turquoise and of course America the Beautiful: red, blue and silver micro glitter with silver stars!!! It's a little hard to get the stars out but with a little time and you can get a lot out. I also used some clear nail polish to pull the micro glitter off the stars.

All that glitters...

What can I say I'm a girl and I love glitter!!! So I thought I would take some time and post some of the new glitter polishes I got while I was on vacation.

OPI Rainbow Connection Muppet Series

I absolutely adore this party polish. It was very easy to apply and this is only one coat on my nails. The formula was the right consistency so the glitter didn't go all over my nails. Sephora by OPI has a very similar polish out now called Spark-tacular! which is basically the same only it has micro-glitter added to it. If you can find it I would get Rainbow Connection over Spark-tacular! anyway.

With all the holographic colors around I was surprised to find this at one of my fav stores called Glitter. This polish is by Magicolor Cosmetics and number 41 is the color. The best part about this is it was only $1!!!! I only did one coat of this polish also. TIP: For shaped glitter I find it easier to shake the bottle upside down and this remove brush with the bottle on its side. This way there's sure to be some shaped glitter on the brush.

The next 3 nails are all by Orly Flash Glam collection which can be found at Sally Beauty Supply. The above photo is Can't Be Tamed. I found all 3 of the formulas to be very runny, it kept running to the side of my nail. All in all these are very pretty but I wouldn't wear it alone

Nail Polish Creation

So tonight I decided to try my hand at making my own nail polish and this is what I got. It is black with orange glitter not a top coat over black. I think it still needs some work but it looks better than what I thought it would.

Sephora Glitter

Sephora has a new ad campaign this summer entitled 1000 ways to get polished. The glitter section really intrigued me so I decided to try what was shown. The only difference was I thought that their base coat was a little light so I used Sinful Colors Love Nails instead. I did use Sephora by OPI Indi-Go With the Flow and G-listen To Your Heart.

I have to say this is a little hard to do with the glitter line. The formula seems to be really runny especially G-listen to your Heart (the pink). I especially had a hard time with it running to the side of my nail, but all in all I think it came out ok. Oh and in the above picture I haven't cleaned up the excess yet, I was afraid I would smear it if I did.
