Nail Polish Fun!

I love nail polish. I have a lot of it. Here are some of my current favorite ideas to play with on your digits!







I guess I'm really into angles, layering and gold metallic right now? These colors seem so fun and still wintery, but not drab. My own nails are looking a little sad right now...I think this weekend I'll have to get back into my Sunday nail routine ^_^

Nail Polish: Color!

So I love nail polish and I've really been into playing with different color palettes lately. This is one I did a few weeks ago and forgot to snap a pic before they started to chip a little. The colors were so fun together, though! They are all Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Model Behavior, Barracuda, and 3 in Coral Fever.

This week I'm playing with a matte top coat by Essie and another palette of 3. I should really do a whole post on color theory as shown with nail polish haha! So here I've got another Sally Hansen color in Yellow Kitty (how could I not get that?) and Essie colors Turquoise & Caicos (one of my all time favorites) and Rose Bowl with a top coat of Matte About You.

I hope you like them! I just love playing with bright colors!

Nail Polish: Polka dot Nude

I got a couple of nude colors the other day, which is a departure from my normal bright nails. I just felt like experimenting after seeing some really cute stuff on pinterest. Pictured is Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Without a Stitch and Essie in Oui Madam. I actually used the Sally Hansen color Malt all over (totally photographed the wrong bottle...doh! It's just one shade darker than Without a Stitch) and then took a small sculpting tool (you can use a toothpick) and dipped it in a little puddle of the Oui Madam for the dots. The dot color is a silver white and is very reflective so it gives an interesting effect against the matte.

Star Trek Inspiration: Uhura Nails

Here's how my Star Trek nails came out! This color is so great. Three coats of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in 13 - Celeb City. I'm pretty sure it was just $2.99 at Rite Aid. I usually do my nails every Sunday. It's just fun little "me" thing that I make time for on the weekend. These turned out really great imo, so I might start posting my nails more regularly.

Star Trek Inspiration

Andy and I have challenged each other to watch every Star Trek episode ever. We both grew up watching (TNG is my favorite!) and we're making our way through the second season of the original series. I love the 60's in general and especially their vision of the future. Uhura is one of my favorites...I love how classy and beautiful she is on duty! I've been wanting to paint my nails like hers for a while, and I'm totally doing it today. Look how great!

So I'm armed with some Sally Hansen's Clearly Quick and Celeb City and the Ikea catalog that just arrived! I'm silly excited for this. It's the little things ^_^

I'll totally post the results later!
