Nothing To Disclose






Nothing To Disclose

Nothing To Disclose Every so often I take on the task of doing nails other than my own. Last time it was my cousin Ambria, and this time it's my partner in work shenanigans, Deniese.


What she wanted was simple. something that would fit a Harlem Nights theme, something that wasn't incredibly time consuming, and she had to have twerkers. Sounds almost impossible right? Well after taking some time to brainstorm I finally came up with a concept my home girl would love.

I started with a gradient using Dare To Wear Flawless White, OPI My Vampire Is Buff, and Jessica Banana Peel.


Next, I laid down some Laced Gold nail art foil that I bought years ago, but somehow managed to never use until the very moment this mani took place.



And finally, for the thumbs, I added some twerk team decals as an accent.


Miss the original Twerk Team mani? Catch that post here.
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

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?

If you've been reading my blog for any amount of time, you'll notice my one favorite things when it comes to nails are spikes! Today I decided to dig up a few of my gold spikes, as well as some nail art foil a purchased two years ago to bring this manicure to life.

Its official, the Christmas season is here. How do I choose to celebrate? By reminiscing about an old Christmas present and painting my nails at the same damn time.

A few years ago I got a green striped sweater with little metallic details.
Bam! You've officially entered my 3am thought process. (Congrats on reading the most boring introduction I've ever come up with by the way.)


For this gift inspired manicure I used two coats of Barielle Holiday Madness from the Winter 2012 Carnival Fiesta collection and randomly placed some nail art foil from Born Pretty.


Barielle Holiday Madness, as well as other Barielle shades, retail for $8 and are available at Barielle.com.
Psst! If you purchase a 5-pack its $25. I'd get the 5-pack if I were you. You know, one polish fanatic to another. Just sayin'.
The Nail Art Foil Decoration Set from Born Pretty retails for $6.28 and is available at BornPrettyStore.com.



Sweaters. The gift that keeps on giving!
Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

Welcome to the fifth and final installment of wedding week! You should know that I'm itching to get back to my neons and show you a few Icing polishes I picked up the past few days. But for now I have one last matrimonial manicure to show you.

First off, sorry about the hiatus. If you've seen my Facebook post you'll know that high winds knocked out my internet connection. But now that it’s all back to normal and I can continue to bring you relentless amounts of sarcasm, sexual innuendo, and of course, NAIL POLISH!

Sunday was Earth Day and while I intended to have this post ready by then; it would have involved me to wake up out of my I'm-too-tired-from-work-so-don't-wake-me-for-anything-less-than-Justin-Timberlake nap. And that brings us where we are now.

Step 1. Base Coat - I used Nail Life Gripper
Step 2. Base Color - Revlon Posh
Step 3. Let base color dry and apply nail art foil glue.
Step 4. After the foil glue has dried to a clear, tacky finish, apply nail art foil. - In this case it was Jungle Tides
Step 5. Apply a "normal" top coat i.e. a top coat that isn't quick dry or anything special. I find that OPI Top Coat works pretty well.
Step 6 (optional). brush glitter on tips of nails. - Milani Jewel FX Teal
Step 7. Now you can apply your top coat of choice. - Seche Vite

If you didn't know my favorite color in the whole wide world is gold. So what's better than having it readily available to leer at on my finger tips?


I decided to make my ring finger and thumb accent nails and used Kashmir Gold nail art foil. Quick and easy tutorial for applying nail art foils can be found here. My other nails are Icing Glimmer. 
Glimmer is a more of a beige shimmer with hints of gold and copper glitter. If you're not really into neutrals like myself, you'll love this one.

How do you feels about accent nails?

I recently bought a TON, okay 26, rolls of nail art foil from dollarnailart.com and one of my fast favorites was English Rose.
 *This and all other nail art foils available at dollarnailart.com are approximately 1 inch wide and 5 feet long.

Before I applied the foil I painted my nails with Sally Hansen Inst-Dri Whirlwind White. It claims to be a one coat polish and to dry really fast. While it does live up to the "Insta-Dri" part it was definitely a two coat-er for me.

After the polish dries you apply one layer of nail foil adhesive.  Wait 3 - 5 minutes for it to dry (it will still be tacky, but that's a good thing).

Carefully place the foil on the nail (shiny side up) and gently rub until the acetate backing starts to peel off on it's own. And then... *insert drum roll here*


Bam! Kick ass nails just like that! Apply one layer of clear top coat that IS NOT quick drying i.e. Seche Vite, let dry, then apply any no chip top coat of choice.

Enjoy my darlings! Love, Peace, and Polish!
