Rainbow Crackle Nails

 HI!!! I wanted to share my rainbow crackle nails with you. I have seen these all over the net and wanted to try them. I dug out my favorite Sally Hansen colors, I just love Sally Hansen polishes and have used that brand for years and years! I started out with a white base coat so that the colors would really pop when I applied them. After the white set I proceded to sponge on the colors using a makeup sponge. Then I applied the black crackle and ofcourse my trusty standby Pure Ice Oh Baby:)

Here's the color line up...
and here's the finished result...
 
 
These are about 3 days old...they have been wearing pretty decently!
I think I may try some other color combos, I really love how they came out:)

Tape Mani!

 I did a tape mani earlier this week and it actaully turned out pretty decent! In the past I tried using clear tape but it didn't always turn out too well. It's probably cause I have so little patience and apply the tape too soon. I was more patient this time and I also tried out that blue tape painters use for taping off glass and stuff. It worked like a charm!


I used WnW Biter the Bullet, Sally Hansen Wet Cement and Pure Ice Oh Baby.
I tend to use Oh Baby A LOT! I just love the light shimmer it gives and it's so much easier to remove than chunky glitters are!
 
I started out with a base of the WnW and then after it set taped it off and added the Sally Hansen and let that dry. Just for fun I added some dots and then topped it off with some Oh Baby and a fast dry top coat.
 
I got quite a few compliments at work on it and I always love to hear what people think of them:)

Doticure!

 This is my first time doing a doticure and I love how it turned out! I have a feeling there will be many more doticures in my furture!  I used WnW Through the Grapevine for the base and dotted on WnW On a Trip , LA Colors Static Electricity and Atomic and topped it off with Pure Ice Oh Baby.


 
Till next time!

Disturbia

 Today I tried out my new Wet N Wild Disturbia. It's such a gorgeous deep purple. Two coats covers like a dream with the Pro Brush it comes with. I was a bit dubious of that brush when I pulled it out of the bottle but was soon  impressed at how evenly it applied the polish. After it dried I got out my Salon Express plates and used Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Golden and added some zebra stripes too it. I'm really happy with the finished result!
