My First Attempt at Waterspotting

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to try my hand at waterspotted nails. I've been seeing them for a while now, and I think they're so adorable!

The way mine turned out reminded me a bit of saran wrap nails. 

I started out this manicure with two coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Sea Breeze.

Then you get a cup of water and put in a couple drops of your second polish. I chose Essie Mint Candy Apple for my nails. It should spread out in the water.

To get the marbled effect you have to spray the polish with an alcohol based solution like hairspray or hand sanitizer. I spent a couple minutes trying to spray my polish with hairspray until I realized my hairspray was alcohol free...

So I ended up just spraying it with alcohol!

This technique reminded me a lot of water marbling. Except it was a lot easier for me to do!

I definitely want to try this technique again and see if I can get larger voids in my second polish.

Happy Birthday Caitlin!

Lots of celebratory happys lately. I can dig it!

Today's my good friend Caitlin's 22nd Birthday and she loves dolphins so as a birthday gift I got her a dolphin Hex Nail charm and gave her a mani.

She chose OPI Hot & Spicy as her base color. I love this color. It's a gorgeous bright orange-ish coral color.

I applied her dolphin with a bit of nail glue and put some top coat over him so he would stay put.

Caitlin was happy with her dolphin and I think she picked the perfect color to go along with him. This manicure's simple, but still adorable because of the dolphin charm :)

We're going out to sushi for Caitlin's birthday dinner.. let's hope dolphin isn't on the menu! 

Happy Game Day!

It's that time once again. You know, when the Noles win!

Even though I'm working today and can't make it to the game, you already know I'm rocking some Garnet & Gold Nails to support my team!

I used my favorite garnet as a base for these nails: Revlon Raven Red.

The gold in the cheetah print is Sinful Colors Flower Girl and the white is Finger Paints Hip Hip Hue-Ray!.

I did these nails at 2 in the morning last night, so it's definitely not the best cheetah print I've ever done but I'm pretty happy with how my FSU turned out, even though it's simple.

For my right hand I just went with all garnet and gold cheetah print. 

I hope everyone that's going to the game has a great time. >>---GO NOLES!--->

Anchors Aweigh

Oops I did it again! It's been almost a week since I've posted.

These days my clients' nails have been taking precedence over my own! I did do this super cute mani this week using an adorable anchor from Hex Nail Jewelry.

These nails were my pride and joy... seriously. I got so many compliments on these babies!

I started out this mani with Essie Mint Candy Apple. Then using a dotting tool I applied Finger Paints Hip Hip Hue-Ray!. And of course I added my anchor with a little bit of nail glue.

I think the anchor was what really made this mani. The great thing about Hex's nail charms is that you can soak them off and reuse them!

Unfortunately I lost mine at the gym (I'm too rough with my nails). :( But I definitely wouldn't hesitate to buy another one!

Sorry for being the worst blogger ever, lovelies. Thanks for sticking around <3
