Monday Mani PaA - Patchwork (very funky)

Here is my attempt to do a Patchwork for monday's theme. It's a very  funky designs though. I was just taping here and there and just playing without planning anything specific. I wouldn't say this is pretty but artistic lololo

Monday Manis have been such a challenge for me. My creative side is pretty down lown lately and I have been sick that I can't get rid of this flu for my sake. But enjoy the pictures and drop me a line even if it's to say "Hi, get well!"

Love you all!

OPI - Jade is The New Black

I have here OPI Jade is The New Black. Isn't beautiful? It's such a beautiful cream green. I love OPI polishes. Such great formula, very good brush and the aplication is amazing! I agree that Jade could be the new black lololo But yeah, this color is a MUST have it in your nail polish collection.

Then, I think I told you here that I was out of town for Labor Day. I went to the Brazilian Festival in Utah. I was craving some brazilian goodies. I then decided to do something brazilian on my nails. Take a look of Brazil's flag.

It's beautiful huh? I love the colors on the brazilian flag. I came up with this then.

What do you think? The funny thing about that was the attention I got from my nails. I met some of my brazilian friends there and they wouldn't even give me a hug or anything it was just "Hey girl, let me see your nails!!!" But I still felt loved :) We also had a Manicure Party during my stay and we all had a blast. I will post the pictures soon!

Monday Mani PaA - Candy

Now I am up to date with my Monday Manis posts. I have here for you guys my mani for the Candy challenge this week. I guess for today's challenge I was excited. As soon as I learned what the theme was  I can say something came to my mind. I wans't dreading like I did on some past manis. Anyways, I know Xmas is far away, well not that far. It's only 3 months away. Xmas is my favorite Holiday that I always look forward to it. I then thought of doing a Candy Cane Mani. I kinda like it the way it turned out. What do you think?  That really made me through my day as I didn't have a good night of sleep with my poor hubby coughing, tossing and turning. And yeah, I am sick :( A bummer. Plus still trying to hear from Southwest. Liek I told to you guys, I was out of town last weekend and on my way back they lost my bag. I don't think I have mentioned here about that. But finally I got my bag back. I was so depressed cause i had a little Manicure Party in Utah and all of my stamping (plates and stamper/scraper) was inside of my lost bag. You guys can't imagine how sad I was considering the possibility to never see my stuff again. But thank goodness they are here safe and sound. Such a relief! Without saying my clothes and shoes that I really loveeee!

But here you have it, my mani made with tape and stampingggggg. oh yes, stamping!!!!!!

Monday PaA - Tape

Hey lovelies? Did you have a great weekend? This was my second busy weekend. Love it. I had my favorite sister-in-law over with her family. They drove 13hrs jsut to visit us here. We had a blast. So much laughter. So much fun and gossip. Love it! They left yesterday and all of a sudden the house got so scary silent. I miss my nephews already.

But it's all right. I hope I get to see them soon.

And because today is Monday and every monday me and my FB group friends have a theme, here we have TAPE mani for today!

I had to cute my nails down. Because I had visitors I did not had time to take care fo my nails. I was at the kitchen baking and cooking. But here I am taking care on my finger nails.

I just used scotch tape for this mani and gray tones to it. I used Essence, China Glaze and NYC for that look. My base color was from Essence. I love Essence nail polish. Love the formula. It's just so opaque I just needed one coat for a good coverage. I have sme pictures of itself down below.

I am so excited for this Monday Tape Mani. I can't wait to see everyone's. If you want me to see yours send me the link to my email. Links on the comments will not be published.

Let me know what you guys think of this mani. I am also trying to improve my pictures and maybe start using just a simple watermark. Just don't like to spend time editing.

Monday PAA - Glitter Bomb

For this Monday Mani from PAA FB group I honestly didnt' know what to do with the Glitter Bomb theme. I have had quite busy days lately and I was soooo tired to do my nails. Plus on top of that, me and my love wanted to go to see Harry Potter and then I was like " Wait , wait, wait". I really enjoy movies but wasn't really into Harry Potter. I am not that type of girl that get into the waves of movie series like the vampire one with Jacob and Edward thing. I even tried the books but , no not for me. However, for some reason I felt embarrassed for knowing that this current movie is actually the 8th or 9th lololo I thought it was the 4th. I had seen the 1st and 2nd though back in the days when I was in high school merging to college. Then I decided to do the Harry Potter Marathon so I can see the current and last one. I am enjoying so far but I think I like comedy better lately. I am in a fase of my life I need some good laughter.

But anyways, back to my nails, here are a few pictures and details of my Monday Glitter Bomb. Can't wait to know what the vote is for next week. I am really enjoying this. I'm just having some problems casting my vote with them. It seems I am not the only one having trouble though.

PS: My blog was acting weird this past Sunday and Monday so I'm still posting this on the day it's supposed to go,ok? Also, I am excited to be done with the giveaway and announce the winners. I am so excited for my new followers here. Welcome welcome everyone!!

BC: Essie ( this stuff prevents me really well from getting stain on my nail from dark nail polishes). Let's see this time with having black on my nails. Can you believe this is the first time I actually paint my whole nail in black? I love blaco for tips and stamping but the whole nail ... that is my first time ever.

Blue Sally Hansen

I tried for the first time to risk on some free hand art on my nails. Don't know if I am in love with it but it looks for sure. I used an opaque baby blue from Sally Hansen Blue-Away. Probably it's just me but these opaque colors specially from Sally Hansen are really thick and dry out so fast that I have a really hard time applying it. They ust be good for stamping. I should try that out sometime.

When Is tarted painting with that blue I thought of wearing it by itself with no stamping or over color on it. But because it came out with some imperfection ( at my taste because I know I am not 100% great doing my nails ). The I got some tape and painted half diagonal with a Wet n'Wild Metallica, an used my dotting tool to do the dots. For the white stripe I used the RIMMEL french white tip brush.

PS: I am still testing different ways to take my nail pictures. Do you have any suggestions? I wanted them to look true to the color.
