Xmas Manicure - Color Club Red Velvet

Here I am again!

And with some Color Club! I reached this beautiful shimmery red to work on something. This is called Color Club Red Velvet. A bit hard to photograph but here you have it.

Then I grabbed some nail art strips I got from Ebay a while ago and decided to play with it. Plus I hand painted a xmas tree :) Yay for that. I really need to pratice more with dotting tools. I used a 3 different colors for the tree: some Color Club and ULTA. For the strips I will tell you this. That didn't stay long at all. I applied top coat over it but after a day that thing came all off peeling really bad. But oh well.

What do you guys think? And hey, what are you guys plans for tomorrow? Anything fun? Lots of yummy food? See ya soon :)

Monday Mani PaA - Fierce Accent

Phewww!

I know right? Busy past weeks with my trip, a baby shower I pulled off and then Thanksgiving and all. I thought of having automatic posts for you guys but I just did not have time whatsoever for it. No kidding! next time I'll try to plan on staying more active and not let my blog out to the flies.

But overall I had a blast in Arizona visiting my sister, my in-laws, a baby shower, visiting friends, eating at my favorite places, surprising my sista with a totally unexpected baby shower - it was sooo fun. I also got to meet the lovely Sarah Johnson, my polish friend that I met online in one of the groups I'm part of awhile ago. She is also in the Lacquered Me 11 Packages Birthday Club. It was sooo fun cause she got to give my package in person ( I'll let you guys know how the club is going in another post). It was so great to get to meet her in person and chat about polish and also what we enjoy besides polish. I just love meeting people in real life. It's like " they are real". Duhhh , I know. But I'm dork like that. Hey Sarah, I'm so glad we got to meet during my trip.

Anyways, I have been neglecting the Monday Manis really bad. I promise I'll fill up the past 2 Mondays I didn't do. For this Monday they came up with Fierce Accent. I pulled my stamping plate M64 for the accent. But oh man, I love that plate. I like all the designs on that plate and the one chose is definitely my favorite.

This is my take on the fierce accent challenge. I was going to do just the finger nail cause when I hear " accent nail" that's what comes to my mind. However I find  this mani to be very fierce and super elegant. Sorry I didn't take a picture of the base burgundy color by itself. Totally forgot. But that is RIMMEL Burgundy Flirt. I'll do a swatch later and come back posting here for you. It's such a pretty cream bloody red.

Monday Mani - Happy Halloween - Color Club Wham!Pow! + Nicole by OPI Black Texture

Welcome Monday and Happy Halloween!!

This is gonna be super quick. Sorry, I couldn't be more creative with a mani for the Halloween day. I was wearing  some cool mani the past days though. If you want to them them out go HERE

For the mani of today I had like 10 min only to do this and I knew I couldn't do a more elaborated mani. I grabbed a pumpkin neon color from Color Club Wham!Pow! and used a black shatter polish from Nicole by OPI Black Texture.

Sorry for the picture above. I had such a hard time photographing that color Color Club Wham!Pow!.The real color is more like a traffic neon orange cone. My camera usually has a hard time getting corals, oranges.
And hey, I have to go :) I hope you had a great weekend. Did you get to go to any fun Halloween party?

Doing my friend's nails

My best friend from Arizona came to visit me the beginning of this month and we had a blast together. I was looking for this picture to share with you guys. Couldn't find anywhere but here it is. I did her nails! She loved it. It was so funny cause she said it was hard to choose a color cause I have so many polishes lololo than her son picked this color and said "Here, you paint my mommy's nails with this color". And OMG it couldn't be a better color to do a Halloween themed manicure. Too bad we were having so much fun that I forgot to take a picture of the purple itself. But, I'll do here some day. But enjoy the picture!! I just love it very much I wanna do the same mani on myself. And I jsut feel so proud of myself I did someone's nails. I'm still getting used to it. lololo And if you are wondering how I did this mani ... I did some sponging with two different shades of purple and then stamped over it.

Monday Mani PaA - Breast Cancer Awareness

This week I decided to get this mani for the challenge a little earlier last week so I could post early in the morning on my blog for you guys :)

The theme was in honor of the Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Those challenges always put me to think what I am gonna use and how I am gonna show my creative side. First thing came to my mind was the pink ribbon. And as I've told you guys before here. I am not good at free hand nail art. Don't even have those tiny brushes for it and all that.

I then went through my stamping plates to see if they had any ribbons there and I came across konad plate M63 that was a full design and I could kinda see ribbons getting untangled there.

I used Color Club Hot Like Lava from the collection Foiled. And oh boy is that something really top noche for stamping!!! Such a great polish to do your designs.

 Forgot to take a picture of my thumb but just cause some of you asked me. When I do any nail art where I put some accent on my ring finger you bet I have the same one om my thumb. Always!

 And if you are wondering what's my base color. Here you have the bottle. It's Essie Neo Whimsical. Super pretty cream baby pink but .... I have to tell you those are 3 coats of that baby. I usually love Essie's nail polishes. But for me they are either super good to apply or a disaster. I had a lot of trouble applying that polish. So thin, so streaky and dragging. I got frustrated and disappointed big time cause it's such a pretty pink. However, despite all of that I made it to work. And here is a picture of it by itself. Sorry for the dry cuticles.

Base Color: Lady Like

Hope you guys like that mani as much as I do! I wore that for 4 straight days.
