Flip/Flop February Day 23: Lightning/Bows

Hello lovies! Time for Day 23 of Flip/Flop February! :)

So our Flip/Flop for this day was Lightning/Bows, and I went with lightning!

For the base I used Zoya - Storm, which I think works awesome because its basically a storm in a bottle! :p
Then for the lightning bolts I used Sinful Colors - Snow Me White.

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!! :)

Flip/Flop February Day 8! Color Blocking/Black and White!

Hi my lovies!! You know the drill, Flip/Flop February day 8!!

Today's Flip/Flop is Color Blocking/Black And White. And I sort-of-kind-of-not-really did both but-not-really-either-at-the-same-time. So... Yeah. xD

For some odd reason that I can't explain, my brain immediately thought, "JIGSAW PUZZLE!!!" when I read Color Blocking. Pretty sure this doesn't count as color blocking at all but...yeah. I couldn't NOT do it once I thought of it LOL. So blame my brain.
And, just for the fun of it, I made one of my jigsaw nails be Black/White/Gray. I know that that's not strictly black and white, but I thought it would look cool with the transitioning from white, to light gray, to dark gray, to black.

I probably should've added an outline of some kind but, oh well.

Oh also, kiss that long ring fingernail goodbye because it broke off really low last night. :(
I may or may not put a falsie in it's place, I haven't decided yet. But there's no way in heck that I'm cutting down all my nails until after this challenge is done. Why must you break, nails, why?! Oh well.

The polishes I used for this mani were:

Color Block Nails:
Sephora by OPI - And A Cherry On Top
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Mellow Yellow
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - The Real Teal
Ulta - In The Lime-Light

Black and White Nail (from lightest to darkest):
Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
Sephora by OPI - Thyme For A Mani
Sephora by OPI - Break A Leg-Warmer
Ulta - Little Black Dress

Of course as always, please go check out the other bloggers manis!! :)
