Thank you for the visit!

OPI DS Titanium

  OPI Titanium is a new Designer Series release.

Dark charcoal with iridescent flakies and silver micro glitter. I found the application to be a bit of a challenge. I did three coats plus a bit of dabbing. Once I got into natural light I noticed that there were still some areas that didn't have very good coverage. It dries to a matte finish. I applied top coat for the pics.

I have to say that I was pretty disappointed with this. It should look great, but for some reason it just didn't work for me. I may try layering it and see if the results are any better. And please note that this tends to eat top coat, so you may need two coats.

I purchased this from Nail Polish Canada. All opinions are mine.

Thanksgiving Nail Stamping

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadians!

I did turkey nails last year, so this year I went with leaves and pumpkins.
My base is OPI You're So Vainilla. Stamping done with Mentaliy opaque orange and Prim. Filled in with L'Oreal Creme de Mint and Mango Mamma.
Plates are Bundle Monster H11 and Cici & Sisi plate 03.

I thought it was pretty cute. Lots of fall colours.  The Bundle Monster plate (pumpkins) was fussy to work with, but no issues with the leaf pattern. And I threw in some pics of You're So Vainilla. I love these beige-ish nude shades. Great for nail art!

Thanks for the visit! Hope you enjoyed. Gobble Gobble :)

My First Nimbus Manicure

Welcome all!  Today I have my first attempt at a Nimbus manicure. This technique came from the Nailasaurus. You can view her tutorial HERE. This technique is fairly straight forward and doesn't take a long time to do.

I started with a white base. Colours used are MckFresh Nail Attire Do Ba Dee Goo Goo, OPI Amazon Amazoff, Rica Prim & Proper, and Barry M Sugar Apple.
My only complaint was the bubbles I ended up with. I'll need to work on that!

I really loved this, and I will defininetly be doing more of them. There are some parts of this manicure that didn't quite turn out that well, but live and learn. I'm sure my next try will be better.
Thanks for this visit. Hope you liked it!

Tie Dye Nail Art with OPI Neons

This was such a fail. Thought I would share anyway. It was quite hot the day I did this. I think the polish was drying too quickly. Oh well. Live and learn, right?
The white base is Zoya Purity. The neons are OPI You Are So Outta Lime, Push & Pur-pull, Down To The Core-al.

Even though it didn't turn out the best, I think it still looks like tie dye! And I love any excuse to break out the neons! Thanks all for the visit. Hope to see you back soon.

Canada Day Nail Art

Back with one more Canada Day manicure for you. What can I say, I love my country!

The white base is Cult Nails Tempest. The glitter is KBShimmer Candy Cane Crush and the red is OPI Coca-Cola Red. The maple leafs are vinyl decals from Eat.Sleep.Polish.

The chevron nails are guides bought from NailVinyls. (link below) You may have noticed that the glitter nail has a bit of a brownish tint to it. This is from the scent used in it. If you layer it over anything but white, you won't have this problem.

So there you have it! I hope you enjoyed them. See you again, soon.

Thanks for the visit. I hope to be back soon with more patriotic nail art for you!  

OPI Neons 2014 Sponged Nail Art Manicure

Today I have a sponged manicure using all of the OPI Neons that were just released.

All colours were randomly dabbed on using a make up sponge over a white base. These are easy nails to do, even if you have no nail art skills.

I have to say that the colours are much brighter in person. They really are neon shades! Always classic for summer. I am sure I will never get tired of neon.
Hope you enjoyed today's post :)

Stamped jelly sandwich OPI and Lily Anna

This manicure was created with stamping in between a layer of jelly polish.

My polish is OPI Too Hot Pink To Hold Em. Stamping plate used was Lily Anna 04 with Konad white stamping polish. I started with two coats of polish followed by the stamping. Then I applied one more coat of the jelly polish.

I think this turned out okay. It is a fairly subtle design in person, but pretty. It is certainly easy enough to do, which is nice. Products can be found at Messy Mansion or Nail Polish Canada.
Thanks for the visit!
