Press Sample Okay ladies and gents, awhile back I mentioned Nail Art Society was making a comeback and I'd be bringing you looks specifically using materials found in each months kit. Well folks, here are two looks using just three items from this months Gold Foil Kit.

With the first look, I wanted to try a gradient using Jessica Cinnamon Kiss. After I successfully did a single color gradient, I felt this was a pretty good place to add some gold foil to my thumb, index, and middle fingers.


For the second look, I was inspired by the royal themed decals that are also in the Gold Foil Kit and paired two crowns with Purple half moons. Why purple? Well For starters it is my second favorite color and finishers (not sure if finishers is a word) purple is associated with royalty.
How's that for #ManiMonday?

Not too long ago I made this post using China Glaze Blue Bells Ring and Cranberry Splash from the Holiday Joy collection. Well folks I still have two more lacquers from the aforementioned collection to show you.
So today, I've got Glistening Snow and Winter Holly. Being that I'm running low on energy these days I decided to do something pretty simple. Half moons!

I started with two coats of Glistening Snow and sped the drying process up by applying a layer of Dazzle Dry Quick Dry Top Coat.
Next, I applied a reinforcement label to the base of each nail and applied three coats of Winter Holly.

Overall I was surprised to find out that these guys could be used as stand alone shades as apposed to the glitter toppers I erroneously assumed they would be.


If swatches from a brown skinned beauty blogger are what you're after check out Jackie over at Candy Coated Tips!

Winter Holly and Glistening Snow (as well as all other China Glaze lacquers) can be purchased at Sally Beauty Supply, Ulta, Beauty Plus Salon, and various other places that women of all colors like to spend their hard earned money.

Why hasn't anyone come up with a Christmas collection of neons? Just a random thought.

Ahh yes, I finally have some time to do my nails AND blog about them. If only I could marry Justin Timberlake and never have to work again.

And here we are... Day 6 of the 31 Day Challenge! Violet! (By the way, anyone catch the Daria reference in the title?)

While watching Saturday Night Live I found myself trying to find something different to do with crackle polish. And somewhere between Usher singing Climax and Weekend Update (the only reason I still watch SNL) I thought, "Hey, let's try half moons."

Not too long a go I did a post with double the half moon fun (click here to see it). So naturally, I decided to try it again with a different color combination.


This time I used OPI San Tan-Tonio & Suzi Loves Cowboys from the OPI Texas Collection.

I showed one of my friends this mani the day I did it and her exact response was, "Oooh chocolate!"

I've done my fair share of half moon manicures so I figured why not try something a little different.


For this mani I used reinforcement labels, Wet' n Wild Black, and Sinful Colors Snow Me White.

DO try this at home!

After a series of posts about half moon manis, I've been asked what is my secret to such a perfect arch. Welp, it's no secret just good ol' fashion reinforcement labels.

Let's face it I've been way too tired to do any actual nail art these days. What's my way around it? Half moons! They're like Covergirl, easy, breezy, and beautiful. So without further ado here is another half moon mani.

*As usual this shot is blurred for holographic goodness.

For this mani I used two coats of Color Club Age of Aquarius topped with two coats of NYX Girls Spotlight

Are half moons a justifiable excuse for nail art?

So, I was eating some girl scout cookies the other day thought, "What's a better way to commemorate such a great snack than a manicure?"
And here we are! An ode to my favoritest girl scout cookie ever, THIN MINTS!!!!!



For this mani I used Color Club Edie and OPI Suzi Loves Cowboys.

If only Thin Mints made me thin.
