Fun Nails!

I hosted my first girls night nail party at my new house last Monday and my friend Sarah (WildEdgyNails) came to do everyone's nails! Here are mine:

Holographic Nails!

My friend Sarah (WildEdgyNails) lent me her new NFU Oh Holographic nail polish and she let me try it out. I really like the idea of Holographic nail polish and I wanted to order the whole set of holos by either NFU Oh or Color Club but I didn't want to shell out around $80 so I never bought any. But maybe I will reconsider it!

This is the silver holo polish

Confetti Nails

My next venture using nail tape... confetti nails! I love confetti inspired things and I knew right away when I saw my friend Sarah's nail tape that she lent me, I had to do confetti nails! This is an annoying and tedious process. You have to cut the tape very small to get the small confetti pieces and handling it and trying to place it is very hard because it is hard to hold on to it properly with long nails... but I managed somehow!

Nail tape manicure!

My good friend Sarah of WildEdgyNails lent me her nail tape to do a manicure that I have wanted to try. This manicure is based off of one that I saw Khloe Kardashian posting recently. It is an off white cream color base with strands of nail tape going across. I tried with 1 strand in gold and on the other hand I did 2 strands in bronze. This was my first time experimenting with nail tape and I didn't find it terribly hard. It is very easy to do it with your dominant hand but for my other hand it took a bit longer to become precise. But I am happy with the result and I will definitely try more nail tape ideas!

Valentine's Day Nails - Recap!

For those of you who have tuned in late or have missed any of my special Valentine's Day Nail challenge that I did with my friend Sarah, here is a recap of my 15 Days of Valentine's Nails!

Valentine's Day Nails - Day 15

Ahhh I have completed my 15 Day Nail Challenge for Valentine's Day with my good friend Sarah who runs a nail blog called Wild Edgy Nails. It was a great challenge and I really had a lot of fun with it. This is my final day of Valentine's nails and that means that today is Valentine's Day!
For my final nail design I did a simple red background with white hearts.

Valentine's Day Nails - Day 14

Wow! Valentine's Day is almost here and I have Day 14 of my Valentine's Day Nail Challenge with my friend Sarah ready! I tried out some heart tip nails but I wasn't willing to file my nails into a point to get the pointed bottom of the heart... so my hearts have rounded bottoms.

Valentine's Day Nails - Day 13

For Day 13 of my Valentine's Day Nail Challenge with Sarah of WildEdgyNails I have done french style tips in Valentine's colors :)

Valentine's Day Nails - Day 12

Day 12 of my Valentine's Day Nail Challenge with Sarah is red nails with silver sparkles.

Valentine's Day Nails - Day 11

What I have done for day 11 of my Valentine's Day 15 Day Nail Challenge with Sarah of WildEdgyNails is red nails with an accent of line sparkles on the ring finger and on on the thumb there is an abstract heart made with silver sparkles and pink polish.

Valentine's Day Nails - Day 10

On Day 10 of my Valentine's Day Nail challenge with Sarah I have done fuschia nails with silver and pink hexagon sparkles.

Valentine's Day Nails - Day 9

For Day 9 of my 15 Day Valentine's Day nail challenge with my friend Sarah I have done a red rose shape on a black background.

Valentine's Day Nails - Day 4

Valentine's Day Nails - Day 2

Day 2 of my 15 day Valentine's Day nail challenge with my friend Sarah (WildEdgyNails)

This nail art was actually inspired by a Valentine's Day mug I have in my cupboard that I use to drink tea! I didn't photograph myself holding it though. Instead the tones reminded me a lot of my bottle of Justin Bieber "Someday" perfume... similar colors... enjoy!

15 Days Of Valentine's Nails!

My friend Sarah of WildEdgyNails and I have decided to do a special 15 day Valentine's Day nails challenge together and I will be posting a new Valentine's inspired nail creation of mine every day for the next 15 days. Be sure to check in every day to see what fun things I post!

OPI - Liquid Sand

The new line from OPI just came out and it is a Mariah Carey line featuring a new type of polish called "Liquid Sand." My friend Sarah (WildEdgyNails) lent me one of her colors from the line called "Can't Let Go" and I tested it out.

It is a purple polish with lots of sparkles inside and a sandy, grainy texture. The idea is that you don't put any top coat over it in order to conserve its matte, textured look.
It wasn't too hard to apply. You just put your base coat and then apply 2 coats of the nail polish. I kept in mind that my friend Sarah expressed disappointment with the brush, but I did not find it bothered me so much. It seemed to feel a bit wider than the regular OPI polish brushes but it might just be the thickness of the nail polish making me think so.
Overall, I was not blown away by this nail polish at all. It is dull looking and not really the most appealing color. The texture on your nails is not pleasant. It feels like sandpaper and it is not a natural feeling to be wearing around all day.
I am not interested in buying any of these for myself. I am glad that I was able to try it without buying it!
