The Nail Challenge Collaborative - July 2016: 80's

*purchased by me*

Hey there! Today I have my third post for July's 80's theme for The Nail Challenge Collaborative.  For this look I went with fluorescent pink and black which totally reminds me of 80's fashion.

 

I started with a a base of three coats of Zoya Ali with two coats of Zoya Raven on my accent nail. Ali is a gorgeous neon pink and perfect for the summer! This was the first time I was able to see the shimmer in Raven, and it made me love this polish more. 

For the nail art I used straight vinyls from Stick It! Nail Vinyls to make the triangles, and I painted them with Raven. I used pink neon round studs from Born Pretty Store for the accent nail.  

Although the pinks don't match up perfectly I love how this looked turned out. It's totally 80's, like for sure!  

What do you think of this look?  What nail art would you do for 80's fashion?

The Nail Challenge Collaborative - July 2016: 80's

*purchased by me*

Hey there!  Today I have my second post for The Nail Challenge Collaborative July 80's theme. For this post I did a manicure inspired by the Rubik's Cube Which totally reminds me of the 80's.  

 

For this look I started with a base of Zoya Willa which was an untried for me.  I only did one coat, but if I was going to wear it alone it would definitely need more coats.

 

Once Willa was dry I put down straight vinyls from Stick It! Nail Vinyls to make the lines for the cubes. 

 

I used Nails Inc Baker Street, Rica Whiteout, and Zoya Cam, Josie, Pippa, and Red Door Red to color in the cubes.  I finished up with KBShimmer Clearly On Top. 

 

I had a lot of fun with this look.  It totally reminds me of a Rubik's Cube and my childhood growing up in the 80's. 

What do you think of this look? What toys and games remind you of the 80's?

The Nail Challenge Collaborative - June 2016: Video Games

*purchased by me*

Hey there! Once again I'm late on The Nail Challenge Collaborative posts. As you know, June's theme is video games, and if you don't know what game the picture above is from I'm shocked!  For my third post I obviously chose my biggest video game addiction, Candy Crush! 

 

I am so addicted to Candy Crush it's not even funny!  I play all three versions, but lately Candy Jelly Crush is my main addiction! I hate the Jelly Queen with a passion and feel Cupcake Carl could use a few more brain cells just to realize what moves to play.  Throw in Licorice Larry, and I have a team of nemeses that I want to beat! 

 

I decided to emulate the striped candies and the candy bomb (or dot candy) for this mani!  I started with a base of Rica Whiteout on my index, ring, and pinky fingers, and Essie Partner in Crime on my middle finger.  I've mentioned before how much I love Whiteout, but have I ever mentioned how much I love Partner In Crime.  It's the perfect dark brown polish in my opinion! 

 

For the stripes I used Zoya Pippa, Yummy, and Arizona, and straight nail vinyls from Stick It! Nail Vinyls.  For the dots I used Zoya Pippa, Yummy, Red Door Red, Josie, and Perrie, and Rica Whiteout and my dotting tools. 

I couldn't be happier with how this turned out! It's my favorite of this theme so far.  The candy bomb nail is my favorite! Plus my nephew who also plays religiously gave me his seal of approval!  

What do you think of this look? Do you play Candy Crush?

The Nail Challenge Collaborative - May 2016: Spring Fashion

*purchased by me*

 

Hey there!  Today I have my second post for May's Nail Challenge Collaborative Spring Fashion theme.  This look is inspired by the Ralph Lauren outfit above.  

 

I started with a base of two coats of Orly Color Blast In The Name Of Justice from the Wonder Woman collection available at Walgreen's.  I am in love with this color and the shimmer/flakies. 

 

Then using Orly Color Blast Lady Truth also from the Wonder Woman collection and straight vinyls from Stick It! Nail Vinyls to mimic the stripes on the shirt.  I left one nail solid blue like the skirt.  

 

I honestly thought the shirt was red and blue when I did these, but now that I'm looking at it I see that it's orange.  Oops! Unfortunately these were already done before I realized.  

 

I think that this does look like the Ralph Lauren outfit above even if the colors aren't exact.  

What do you think of this look?  What trends have you been wearing this spring?
