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!

Rainbows & Clouds & Balloons, Oh My!

  Look! Another super colorful post! This one is more fun than the one I posted earlier this week because this one has cute little balloons and clouds. These nails were inspired by a couple of Little Twin Stars wallpapers I saw while I was browsing for some nail inspiration.

  I used a ton of colors for these, I'll start with the base colors I used. The light pink on all of my fingers, except my ring finger, is Ciaté Cutie Pie. The base color on my ring finger is Lime Crime Milky Ways. The colors that were used for the rainbow are Sinful Colors Sugar Rush, Unicorn, and Sugar N Spice. Those same three colors and Sinful Colors Candy Coated were used for the tiny stars and for the little balloons.

  Brown and white acrylic paint were used for the clouds and the tiny details on and around the balloons. The little balloons were a pain in the butt to paint because they are so tiny, but I'm really happy with the heart one. The yellow balloon was supposed to be a moon, but it got messed up when I put Seche Vite on.

  In the end, I love these and I'm really happy with how they turned out!
 

Pastel Rainbow

  Hey guys! I have been seeing so many people I follow on instagram posting pictures of the spring collection that Sinful Colors recently released, and I just had to go and get all of them. Pastels are perfect for spring and I'm sure I'll be using these a lot, plus I only paid $1 for each of these because there was a coupon in the Walgreens ad last week (I think this coupon expired, sorry guys.) There are eight colors in this collection and here I'm using five, one for each finger!

  Starting with the thumb, Cotton Candy, Orange Cream, Unicorn, Sugar Rush, and Candy Coated. I did three coats of each of these for them to be fully opaque. Cotton Candy, Orange Cream, and Candy Coated have a slight shimmer to them that is barely noticeable and it hardly showed up in the pictures.  

   I know many people probably wouldn't wear rainbow fingers because it seems slightly childish, but I think it's a great way to do something fun to your nails without an artistic aspect that people often have trouble with. All you really have to know how to do is apply polish! Go crazy with colors!

Day Glow

     A beautiful pastel yellow by day and a bright glowing green by night, Day Glow from Serum No.5 is a new favorite of mine. I've layered two coats of this over a white to have a completely opaque color.
     My accent nail is Serum No. 5 Mint To Be. It's a seafoam color with small silver hexagon glitters.
