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 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! :)

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

Flip/Flop February Day 2: Stained Glass/Accent Nail

Time for Day 2 of Flip/Flop February!
Todays Flip/Flop is Stained Glass/Accent Nail.

Now, I've never done stained glass nails before, and I didn't attempt it this time around just because I was short on time. So today's post is simple, but fun! :)

I went with the Flop today and did Accent Nail, well actually Accent NailS. :D

I decided to go with a fun little black and yellow smiley face mani! Simple, but still fun!

The polishes I used were:
Black: Ulta - Little Black Dress
Yellow: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Mellow Yellow

Please make sure to check out all the other bloggers participating! :)

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
