"Catch Up" Round 2

Today I'm posting the last of my 'old looks' that I created a couple weeks ago. Apparently I was having a boring streak where all I did was add a glitter polish on top of a base colour.

NYC "Manhattan" as my base colour with OPI "Wing It!" layered over top.

Please excuse the extreme shortness of my nails. I had to cut them down when I got my thumb jammed in a door latch and split it ... owie. This was about 3 weeks ago, they are growing back now.
Wet'n'Wild Wild Shine "Caribbean Frost" as my base colour with Wet'n'Wild Fast Dry "Blue Wants To Be A Millionaire" (holo polish!) layered over it.

Sinful Colors "Dream On" as my base colour with Wet'n'Wild Fast Dry "Hannah Pinktana" (holo polish!) layered over top.

"Dream On" is hard to capture but this shot shows it best.

NYC "Park Ave" with Wet'n'Wild "Kaleidoscope" on top.

Sinful Colors "Flirting Nails" with Wet'n'Wild "Kaleidoscope" on top.
I know, I know ... boooring. I wasn't very inspired and kinda blah about my nails when I did these looks because I had to file them down. This was due to a very painful accident involving my right hand thumb nail and a metal door latch. Either way, it'll take another month for it to get decent looking again.

Look out for some fun, new looks in the next few days!

Thanks for reading. :)

Spring Flower Manicure

I'm back with another nail look. I did this manicure a few weeks ago (before all my nails got chopped off...) and I really liked how it turned out.


Polishes:
Orly - To Have And To Hold (2 coats)
Wet'n'Wild - Hannah Pinktana (3 coats)

I realize the tips aren't completely perfect and my cuticles could be a bit neater, but since I only wore this for just over a day I was pleased with it. I did two different styles of daisy's in this nail look: one that is spaced and the other which is joined. My preference is the spaced one, however it requires more patience and precision. I added a pink glitter polish to the tips and added my Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat and it was done!

Comment & let me know: flowers - yay or nay?
