The Nail Challenge Collaborative Presents - Skittles - Week 3

For all of my fellow US readers, Happy Memorial Day!

For my third Nail Challenge Collaborative Skittles mani, I decided to do something patriotic for Memorial Day and go Red, White & Blue.





Polishes Used:
-OPI - Red (I don't know the name because it was from a mini bottle -- they should really just put mini labels on those!)
-Orly - White Tips
-China Glaze - I Sea the Point

I am totally in love with this look! I love doing glitter placements like these; I had originally planned on just doing the glitters on the white nails, but I loved them so much that I added the glitters to the rest of my nails as well. In my mind, you can't go wrong with a patriotic look, and add in some glequins and well, you get this :)

What do you think of this look? Did you do any special manicures for Memorial Day?

The Nail Challenge Collaborative Presents - Stamping Week 4

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!

Today I am sharing the fourth and final post of May's Nail Challenge Collaborative theme, STAMPING! I decided to go patriotic :)






Polishes Used:
-OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls
-Joyful Noise Cosmetics - Star Spangled
-Konad - Red
-Konad - Blue
-Hard Candy Matte Top Coat
-Plate: BM-223

I love the idea of these skittles with different colors in the same stamp, and then an accent nail with glitter!! I knew this would look really cute mattified so I did that, although it unfortunately smudged the red stamping a bit. I still think this is a really cute and super fun mani for Memorial Day!

What are you doing to celebrate?


P.S. Make sure to check out the other ladies from the Nail Challenge Collaborative and their stamping manis!

Jindie Nails - JINDIE-Pendence & a GIVEAWAY

Today I have something super special to show you, a Limited Edition polish by Jindie Nails, JINDIE-pendence!





Jen describes this polish as "This polish has the perfect white crelly base.  It is sheer enough to show all the layers of glittery goodness through each coat, but opaque enough to not show VNL (visible nail line) by the second or third coat.  Added to the white crelly base are a few never used before glitters including: Matte blue medium size dots, silver metallic medium size dots (regular silver, not holographc, really fits the holiday theme well), extra large red metallic dots, medium and large white rectangles & matte red diamonds.   
Some other glitters included in this polish are: small metallic red dots, small, medium and extra large matte red and blue squares, tiny matte red, white and blue stars, extra fine red metallic hex, extra fine metallic blue hex."
I am wearing two coats of JINDIE in the pictures, topped with Gelous and Poshe. This polish is awesome for Memorial Day tomorrow and will be great for the 4th of July as well. 
You can purchase Jindie Nails polishes on her website at Jindienails.com and make sure to follow her on Facebook for restock information and giveaways!
Now onto the GIVEAWAY! When Jen previewed this polish I knew it would be a hit, great for the Independence Day, so I went ahead and purchased a separate bottle for a giveaway!

This giveaway will run through June 17th (so you will have enough time to receive it in mail before Independence Day).
This giveaway is only open to US Residents (or those with a US mailing address) at this time.
BEST OF LUCK!
