Beauty Tips for Women: Seashells and Flip-Flops Manicure

Posted on August 30, 2014 by admin

I have been a bit uninspired lately after having to chop off what little length I had gotten in my nails over the summer. Hanging at the beach and pool really took a toll on my nails. So to cheer up my mood I decided to go for neon pinks and some simply stamping.

Here is a list of what I used for this manicure:
Salon Perfect – Tickled Pink
Salon Perfect – Perky Pink
Rica – Whiteout
Cheeky plate – CH37
Cheeky plate – Jumbo #2

I used two coats of Perky Pink on thumb and ring finger. I stamped the flip-flop image from CH37 unto them using Tickled Pink. It stamped well but was very subtle. I can image that over white Tickle Pink would look very nice. The remaining fingers got two coats of Tickled Pink. I stamped the seashell image from Jumbo #2 using Rica Whiteout. Rica Whiteout is an amazing white stamping polish. I can’t recommend it enough. Topped it all off with Seche Vite.

Overall, I was pleased with how it came out. It certainly brightened me up a bit.

Beauty Tips for Women: Rainbow Cheetah Manicure using FingerPaints Poolside Paradise Collection

Posted on July 26, 2014 by admin

Today I have a rainbow cheetah manicure I did using FingerPaints Poolside Paradise collection. I won this collection from their Facebook page. This entire collection is super vibrant neon metallic polishes. I was inspired to do a rainbow cheetah manicure from my daughter’s dress.

Here are the polishes and tools I used (from left to right):
Migi Nail Candy pen – black
FingerPaints – Be My Baby
FingerPaints – Aloha Lei
FingerPaints – Hula Aruba!
FingerPaints – Margarita Mambo
FingerPaints – Surf’s Up
FingerPaints – Wild Bikini
Venique – Wingtip White
Cleanup brushes and acetone

I started off with two coats of my favorite white polish, Wingtip White. I then proceeded to do the cheetah spots in the color order of the rainbow. Using the pen I outlined the black and finished with Seche Vite.

Super simple and easy. I love how this manicure turned out.

I give FingerPaints Poolside Paradise collection 5 brains. The colors are fun and scream summertime fun.

Beauty Tips for Women: National Pink Day Manicure

Posted on June 24, 2014 by admin

June 23rd is National Pink Day, so to celebrate the day I did a pink manicure. I’m posting it a day late but still wanted to share.

I started off with two coats of Zoya Michelle and two coats of Milani White On The Spot and topped it off with Seche Vite.

I stamped the image from Cheeky Jumbo Plate A. I have had this plate for a bit and this was my first time using it. I had such problems picking up the images. I kept getting a lot of bold spots, which was very frustrating. I tried several stampers and still had the same results.
