Some Randoms..

Here are a bunch of randoms from over the past couple of weeks!! :)

I'm really in love with this look! I started with Orly Nite Owl, sponged on some Sinful Snow Me White, then used Revlon Colorstay French Roast to stamp on the animal print. Topped it all off with a coat of Out the Door Northern Lights!


This one is a bit of a dud.  I used Zoya Evvie, then using a dotting tool, dotted on Sinful Snow Me White, and a dark pink Wet N Wild mini (not sure of the name).  I used NYC Matte Me Crazy to mattify everything. Just an eh ok kind of mani. I think different colors would look great, and maybe this is just a more fall/winter look.


Love love love this! I used Orly Lollipop on thumb, index, and pinky fingers, and Orly Velvet Rope on my middle and ring fingers.  I used the flower stickers from my May Nail Art Society kit (see pic below).
This would be a good Easter mani I think, but these colors, to me, are just classic. 
Topped off with Out the Door Northern Lights natch!

Vacation/Beach Nails!

My husband is taking my daughter and me to Ocean City (MD)!!!!  I'm so excited; we're only staying for 2 nights, but it's a well-needed break!
I've known about this little trip for a while, and 2 weeks ago decided to give the Orly Nailtrition regimen a go just to get my nails in really nice shape for the vacation.  It didn't really work out so well! I wasn't able to continue to put coats on night after night, and my nails actually seemed to suffer from not having the usual 4-5 coats as with a regular mani.  So I don't think I'll be trying that again!
Here is the mani I decided on:



 
For this, I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear-Golden-I.  I then used striping tape for the somewhat crisp lines, and then went over Golden-I with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri-Peachy Breeze. Peachy Breeze was really thick, and the brush is so weirdly shaped. I know a lot of people like the shaped brushes, but I just have a hard time with them!  And quick drying polishes aren't very forgiving.  Thankfully, a good thick topcoat can cover a multitude of errors!!  I then used Seche Vite top coat, and then another topcoat of Out the Door's Northern Lights in Silver.  This was my first try with striping tape, so I don't think I did too badly, but practice will hopefully make better, if not perfect!

Here is what I did for my toes, which, I won't show you my whole foot, just my big toes! I used ELF nail polish in Mint Cream.  I then stuck on decals as you can see. Everything got a nice coat of Out the Door's Northern Lights in Silver.  I just love that sparkle!




That one toenail is just such a weird darn shape!! Lol, but I guess most toes aren't exactly pretty, so what do I care?

Thanks for reading!
