OPI Make Him Mine with Rhinestones!

  Hey guys! It's been so long since I've posted! I think the last time I posted any nail art was around Halloween. My nails have been in such horrible condition these last few months that I honestly didn't want to post at all, but I've been trying to take extra good care of them so I can start getting back to posting regularly.  

  The nails I'm wearing today are featuring OPI Make Him Mine from the Mariah Carey Holiday Collection. This was one of the six Liquid Sand shades that were in the collection. This color is a pinkish nude shade with tiny glitters throughout it.

  I needed about three thin coats of this for it to be completely opaque. The formula on all of the Liquid Sand polishes in this collection were really good. They weren't thick, they applied evenly and dried nicely. 

  On my accent nail I added some rhinestones of all different sizes. I haven't used rhinestones for anything in a while, so I really like how this tuned out. Pink and sparkly haha this one seems nice for Valentines Day...

OPI Liquid Sand The Impossible

   Hey guys! I have really been slacking on posting and I'm sorry about that. Here is one of the OPI Liquid Sand nail colors from the Mariah Carey collection. This one is The Impossible, it's a jelly based, bright reddish hot pink with lots of glitter and stars.

   I needed three coats for this to be completely even, but I didn't mind because there's no need for a top coat with these nail colors if you want to keep the sandy texture. The texture of these actually wasn't as rough as I'd imagined either and this nail polish was surprisingly easy to get off.

Pastel Plaid

  Here are the nails that I'll probably still have on for Easter, Pastel Plaid! Yep, I took the easy way out and just did some stripes, but it still really like these.

  For these nails I started with a base of Shallow from Colour Gossip. I used the longest striper that I have for these. I started with the yellow, Sinful Colors Unicorn. The pink stripes are OPI Pink Friday, the purple stripes are Sinful Colors Candy Coated. Last but not least, the blue stripes are Sinful Colors Sugar Rush. I used two coats of top coat on these so they wouldn't feel lumpy.

  I hope you guys have a happy Easter!

Lump Off! Lumpy Space Princess Nails

   "WHATEVER IT'S 2009!"  Any Adventure Time fans? If you've ever seen the show I'm sure you know about Lumpy Space Princess or, LSP for short. She is the princess of Lumpy Space, if you couldn't tell already, she's a purple, lumpy teenager with a masculine voice (She's voiced by the shows creator, Pendleton Ward) and she's lumping awesome!

 
  Haha I planned on doing these nails since I purchased Pretty and Polished My Lumps from the Mathematical Collection. The polish is Lumpy Space Princess themed with a purple jelly base and purple and yellow flakie shards. I layered this over one coat of OPI Done Out In Deco on each finger besides my ring finger which has just two coats of Done Out In Deco.

  I drew LSP's face and "Lump Off!" with black, yellow and purple acrylic paints. I wanted the letters to have a lumpy look to them, so I used a dotting tool to dot them on. The purple was used for the inside of her mouth and I finished with design with one coat of Seche Vite.

The Forest Spirit

  Yeah, I really like animal head silhouettes on my nails. The title for this one was inspired by the movie Princess Mononoke.

  I think deer are really pretty and it's the holiday season, so that's what originally inspired me to do this. I did this with regular black acrylic paint and a small detail brush.

  The gold is Goldeneye from the OPI Skyfall collection. It's a very yellow gold that is made out of flakes. I have no other nail colors that have flakes like this, so it was really weird to me, but it went on smooth and this was two coats.

Matte Webs

     
    This will probably be my last mani for Halloween 2012. I planned to do more, but to be completely honest, I'm so over Halloween nails haha. Anyway, I wanted to do some simple spiderwebs but my last nails were matte so I wanted matte again.

    This is two coats of Call It A 'treuse from Serum No 5 over one coat of OPI Did It On 'Em with a white spiderweb and Butter London Matte top coat

English Rose

    This is my first successful attempt at nail foils. I got my order from dollarnailart.com a few weeks ago and I immediately tried out some of the foils. My first few tries turned out really bad. I then found out that most top coats over the metallic foils completely wrinkle them. I was a little more than disappointed and kinda gave up on them for about 2 weeks.
     
      So, yesterday I was just messing around again and I used English Rose. A foil that I hadn't tried out yet on my nails. It's not metallic like most of the other foils that I got so I did put a top coat on it and it worked!

 

      English Rose is a very sheer, shimmery white with pinkish colored flowers. I put this over two coats of a white, Essie Blanc. My ring finger is OPI Teenage Dream from the Katy Perry collection that came out a while ago.

      I'm really happy with how this came out. I'll admit that I keep admiring them. They are just too pretty not to!
