Pink Glitter Stars over Nude Manicure

For this manicure I used L.A. Colors Craze Gel – Vanilla Latte and Born Pretty Nail Vinyl Stars (NF207).

I purchased this really cute nail vinyl set from Born Pretty Store. You get nine stencils in this set and they are very large.

I used two coats of L.A. Colors Craze Gel in Vanilla Latte. This is a lovely nude polish to have in your collection. I had no issues with application.   Beauty Tips for Women 675

Since my nails are short, I thought it would be a waste to use one vinyl for one nail. I cut half of one vinyl and then used that for two nails.  I then applied Nicole by OPI in Haley Good Lookin’.

It was so easy to use these vinyls. I can cut them to fit my nails plus the stars that are left, I can use in another manicure.

Wet n Wild – The Clock Strikes Orange Manicure

I am sharing a manicure I did using Wet n Wild The Clock Strikes Orange. This polish is from the Limited Edition Pop Art Craze collection that came out in 2013. I’m not a big fan of orange polishes but I need to start going through my untried.

I applied one coat of Wet n Wild A Blank Canvas. I then applied two coats of The Clock Strikes Orange. The formula was ok. I topped it off with Seche Vite.  Beauty Tips for Women  661

I had purchased a Sassy + Chic nail art wheel from the Dollar Tree which has fimo flowers that I felt would add a little something to this manicure.     Beauty Tips for Women  662

Although I don’t think this orange complimented my skin tone well, it did come out nice with the addition of a simple flower.                                  Beauty Tips for Women  663

For the smooshy nail technique you place dots of the polish on paper and with your stamper you press down then transfer to the nail. A very easy method and you get to see what the polish mixture looks like before applying it to your nails. You can also place the polish drops on the stamper then apply to your nails. I found this method harder to control. Beauty Tips for Women  655

I decided to stamp them using a mix of images off of the Born Pretty plate BP-L008 using Silver Mercedes.

This did not work at all. With my small nails and the thickness of the images, the smooshy nail polish was lost underneath.

I definitely want to try this technique again because I found it fun and easy.
