The Nail Challenge Collaborative - July 2016: 80's

*purchased by me*

Hey there!  Today I have my fourth post for July's 80's theme for The Nail Challenge Collaborative. Who doesn't think of big hair when they think of the 80's and what helped to keep our hair so big? Aqua Net hairspray of course! My final post for the 80's theme is based on the Aqua Net can. 

 

I started with a base of three coats of Picture Polish Salt Water.  Salt Water is an aqua jelly with scatter holo. It's such a gorgeous color and has quickly become one of my favorite polishes. 

I used a white Art Deco nail striper by L.A. Colors to create the lines on the can which are supposed to look like a hair net.  I thought I had a stamp that matched the design, but didn't so I ended up doing the lines freehand.  

Growing up in the 80's I had feathered hair and would at times tease it to make it bigger.  Aqua Net was always my go to hairspray to keep my hair big! Although it doesn't look exactly like an Aqua Bet bottle I am happy with how this look turned out. 

I had so much fun with the 80's theme.  August's theme is neons which will be fun too!  I'm looking forward to trying some new things in August! 

What was your favorite of my 80's looks?  What would you like to see me do for neon nail art?

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer Monster's Tea at Tiffany's

*purchased by me*

Hey there!  Today I have for you a gorgeous polish from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer called Monster's Tea at Tiffany's. This post is kind of photo heavy because every pic I took looked different!  All pics are taken indoors in artificial lighting except the last one which is in sunlight. 

Julie from BEGL describes this color as Tiffany blue with green to red shift.  I also see some hidden shimmer in this polish.  You can definitely see the shift in the picture above.  

In this pic you can see the Tiffany blue color more accurately and the hidden shimmer.  I really love how much of a chameleon this polish is! 

These photos show two coats of Monster's Tea at Tiffany's with topcoat.  I've had this on for two days, and there is no shrinkage, tip wear, or chips.  Like some other BEGL's this polish is on the thick side. I love the formula, but you can add thinner if you prefer.  

I had to add a sunlight picture to show you just how different this polish is in different lighting.  It's so pretty, but as you know I love a great Tiffany blue polish! 

You can buy Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer HERE.  Monster's Tea at Tiffany's is currently sold out, but might make a comeback!  It's worth it to check out her shop to drool over the other beauties!  Please like BEGL on Facebook and follow on Instagram and Twitter.
