Flip/Flop February Day 16: Animal Print/Stripes!

Hi lovies! It's time for Day 16 of the Flip/Flop February Challenge!

Today's Flip/Flop was Animal Print/Stripes.
So what did I go with? Well both, kind of. Zebra Stripes!! (Surprise, surprise! ;p)

And, in typical me fashion, they're rainbow zebra stripes! :D
This is actually my first shot at freehand zebra stripes, and I love the way they turned out! :)

To do these nails, I started off with a base of Sinful Colors - Snow Me White.
Then I sponged on the rainbow gradient using:
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Twisted Pink
Sephora by OPI - And A Cherry On Top
Wet'N'Wild Shine - Sunny Side Up
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Mellow Yellow
Ulta - In The Lime- Light
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - The Real Teal
Wet'N'Wild Fast Dry - Buffy The Violet Slayer
Then I used a black Sally Hansen Nail Art pen to freehand the zebra stripes, then sealed it with Seche Vite top-coat! :)

Flip/Flop February Day 7: Sugar Spun/Pattern!

Hey lovies!! Its Day 7 of Flip/Flop February!!

Today's Flip/Flop is Sugar Spun/Pattern, and of course I went with the Flip!! I looove me some sugar spun! It's one of my all time favorite nail art techniques, it's so fun!

For those of you who don't know, Sugar Spun is a fun technique in which you get some polish (the thicker the better!) and let it sit for a moment, then stir it around so it gets nice and tacky. Once it's tacky, you pull it back and get those "strings" of polishes then you twist and drape them over your nail until you're satisfied with the look.
The best part about it is that it's pretty much impossible to mess up! The whole point of it is that it looks crazy and imperfect, so if it turns out sloppy, that just means you did it right!! ;)

For my base color I used Sephora by OPI - What Aura Gonna Wear?
And for the "strings" I used:
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Mellow Yellow
Wet'N'Wild Shine - Sunny Side Up
And Wet'N'Wild Shine - Tickled Pink.

I was going for a kinda sunset-y quality. :p

The first photo is without top-coat, the second is with top- coat. :)

Flip/Flop February Day 1: Gradient/Skittle

Time for day one of the 28 day Flip/Flop February Challenge!

Today's Flip/Flop: Gradient/Skittle!

So for today, I decided to combine the flip and the flop, and went with a rainbow skittle gradient! :)

These are sososososososo fun!! They make me want summer really bad LOL.

One thing I have to say though, is that my camera decided to be a weirdo with my blue and purple gradient LOL. The blue looks periwinkle, and the purple looks blue. Which they're not, at all. Oh, camera. LOL.

I felt like it was missing a little something, so I went ahead and added some glitter. Because you know me, everything's better with glitter! Some girls are just born with glitter in their veins. ;)

The polishes I used were:
Red: Sephora by OPI - And A Cherry On Top
Orange: Wet'N'Wild Shine - Sunny Side Up
Yellow: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Mellow Yellow
Green: Ulta - In The Lime-Light
Blue: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - The Real Teal
Purple: Wet'N'Wild Fast Dry - Buffy The Violet Slayer
Glitter: Sephora by OPI - Meet Me At The Disco
