Press Sample As of late I've been experimenting with gel polish, and yes that does include trying nail art with them.
Today, I have my very first attempt that I forgot I had saved in my memory card so why not start Mani Monday off right?
Last week I showed you some nail art using a few nailuv gel polishes and today I have yet another nail art look using three different shades from the brand.
I used Hardcore Rock (black creme), Femme Fatale (brown shimmer w/ red undertones), and Hit the Jackpot (gold glitter).

Like I mentioned in a previous gel polish post, it is an absolute must to cure between every single layer.
And I couldn't leave this mani alone without adding a leopard charm I bought on eBay.

nailuv Gel Polish retails between $8-$14.95 per 15mL on nailuvpolish.com.

With a little more effort animal print nail art is achievable with gel polish.
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

Holo leopard print mani? Say what? What.

A little while ago I celebrated my 21st birthday. Yay! How did I celebrate? Well, Mr. Nail A College Drop Out took me on a nice date to dinner and a quiet, dimly lit bar. If you follow me on twitter you saw my dress that bought from NastyGal.com. However, you haven't seen my nails... until now!


For my thumb and index finger I used Wet 'n Wild Wild Shine Red Red, and for my pinky I used Wet 'n Wild Wild Shine Black Creme.

As for my middle and ring fingers:
I started with a base of China Glaze Lighthouse and two coats of Sinful Colors All about You.
I then made the "spots" with OPI Suzi Loves Cowboys; and then outlined them with Wet 'n Wild Wild Shine Black Creme.

Some people (i.e. my friend Brittany) think red and leopard print should never ever be worn together. Whether it is on your nails or on your clothing. What's your opinion?

Chime in on this "debate" if you will.
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

Holo leopard print mani? What? Dare I? Yes!

Last month I ordered Bundle Monster's new set of stamping plates. After ogling my bounty, I noticed BM plate 215 has a pattern on it that reminds me of a turtle shell. Thus, birthing this manicure.
