Flip/Flop February Day 19: Wings/Outline. (Gamer Girl Nails!)

Hello lovelies!! :) it's time for Day 19 of the Flip/Flop February Challenge!

Today's Flip/Flop was Wings/Outline, and since I recently did some butterfly wing art before the start of this challenge, I decided to go with the flop and do outline!

I wanted to get creative with it and not just do a boring old two-tone mani, so I thought about and came up with something really fun! What do I think of when I think of outlines? Well, as sone of you may or may not know, I'm a nerdy gamer girl, so when I think outlines, the first thing that came into my mind where the buttons on my favorite console... Playstation! I've been a Playstation gamer since the PS1 came out all those years ago. Last year my sister and I split the cost and bought a PS3 together.

So I made the buttons!! :D these are sooo geeky and fun and I love them. They didn't come out perfect, but it makes me want to just button mash my pinky and upper-cut everyone!! Mwahaha.

For this mani I used a base color of Sally Hansen - Graphite Gravity, and for the buttons (L to R) I used:
Ulta - In The Lime-Light
ELF - Fab Fuchsia
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - The Real Teal
N.Y.C. - Big Apple Red
Then for the PS logo I used Sinful Colors - Snow Me White and sealed it all off with a coat of Seche Vite top-coat! :)

And hey! Press that ring finger and JUMP on over and check out the other bloggers! (I'm dork, I know. Sorry I'm not sorry! :p) :





ALSO!! A lovely follower of mine named Jaimie from A Ginger's Nail saw that I was hinting about my PS nails on my Facebook fan page, (I was too excited, I couldn't wait! xD) and she made these AMAZING X-Box nails so we could thumb wrestle. LOL.
So GAME ON!! Go check it out, her blog is great! :)

Flip/Flop February Day 18: Galaxy/Rhinestones!

Hello there lovies! It's Day 18 of Flip/Flop February! :)

Today's Flip/Flop was Galaxy/Rhinestones, and I chose the flip! :)
I've never actually done galaxy nails before, but I've always looveddd the look of them and have wanted to try them.

So for my galaxy I started off with a base color of Sally Hansen - Graphite Gravity, then I sponged on N.Y.C. Black Lace Creme. I thought it gave it a neat little metallic/black base for my galaxy.
Next, for my cosmos I sponged on Sephora by OPI - Just A Little Dangerous,
S-Age Is Just A Number, and I Think I Cayenne.
Then I dotted on a few stars using Sinful Colors - Snow Me White, then topped it off with a coat of Sephora by OPI - Meet Me At The Disco.
I really liked the addition of the holo glitter, I think it gave it a really cool starry look. :)

As always, please make sure to go check out all the other bloggers creations as well! :)

Flip/Flop February Day 11: Splatter/Cocktail

Hi Lovies! Today is Day 11 of Flip/Flop February!

Today's Flip/Flop is Splatter/Cocktail.
I decided to go with the Flip since I've been wanting to try out Splatter for awhile now.

I went with the straw splatter technique, which is where you get a little bit of polish on the end of a straw, then blow on the other end to splatter the paint across your nail.
And yes, it's just as messy as it sounds.

By some miracle, I was able to keep my clothes and workspace clean. I used a paper plate, and just silently prayed that it would all stay on there, which it did. Phew!
But still, it was a messy explosion of FAIL. LOL.

I think maybe I needed to use a smaller straw? I just used a regular sized drinking straw, but it was really difficult to get all the polish into the end, I had to keep dipping and felt like I was wasting a lot.
I've heard of people using thin straws or coffee stirrers, that's probably what I should've done LOL. Oh well. :p

I honestly couldn't even tell you what colors I used, because I just kept grabbing random colors in a desperate attempt to make it look presentable. Which I failed horribly at lol.
But I can tell you my base colors,
the white is Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
and the black is N.Y.C. - Black Lace Creme.

So that's my failure of the day. Its terrible and I'm sorry.
I promise tomorrow's is better! :p

And as always, go check out all the other manis!! :)
