Beauty Tips for Women: Tropical Manicure (2)/ Sally Hansen Plum Power

Posted on by

Here is my second go at another tropical themed manicure for Hukilau.

I started off with two coats of Sally Hansen Plum Power.  This is an amazing purple that shimmers.  No issues with the formula.  Opacity was reached with one coat but for good measure I went for two.  I totally forgot to take a picture before stamping. 

I decided to stamp with Konad plate M29 using Konad white.  I love this plate.  It was the first plate I purchased.  To finish the manicure I used Seche Vite top coat.

I don’t necessarily believe that your manicure and pedicure need to match but I loved the color so much that I went ahead and did my feet.  I’m not big on feet pictures but once in a while is ok.

This was a very simple and fast manicure.

Beauty Tips for Women: Tropical Manicure (1)/ Essie First Timer

Posted on by

I’m trying to come up with some tropical themed manicures for Hukilau 2013 happening in June.  Hukilau is a Tiki festival that occurs in Florida.

I started off with two coats of Essie First Timer.  First Timer is a lovely mint green.  I didn’t have any problems with the formula.  It truly is a wonderful summer color.

To further make this manicure pop I decided I would stamp and add some glitter.  I used Cheeky Jumbo Plate 2 – Tropical Holiday and Cheeky CH7.

I applied Sally Hansen Teal-y Cool on my ring finger.  I stamped the images with Konad white polish.  I finished with Sech Vite.

I was very happy with how it turned out.
