Baseball Nails 2015 #5: OPI Short-Stop!

Welcome back!

The other night I went to another baseball game with my family, so I decided to do more baseball nails in honor of it! I needed a chance to change my nails again.

The polish I used was OPI Short-STOP! I used two coats of polish here. It was a great formula, but I felt like it was a very typical red. It was a cream formula, so removal wasn't bad because I didn't have to worry about it being a mess.

I used OPI Alpine Snow and Sally Hansen I Heart Nail Art Pen in Red. I used Nail Vinyls in order to make the chevrons on my middle nail. These were the mini chevrons.

Green Polka Dot Gel Nails

Welcome back! Finally!

Today I wanted to share my nails that I wore for over a week while I was on vacation in Ireland! I've never had gel nails before, but I did them myself because I had my own kit that I bought a while back when it was on clearance. I plan to do a post on the process for doing them, and one for the removal, so this is just going to be the colors and pictures!

Green: FingerPaints Gel Polish Paint Me Oh-So-Modern!

White: FingerPaints Gel Polish Stay True To The Art

I painted a green base on all nails and then used the white for dots! In retrospect, I wish I would have done at least one nail white with green dots. Something to try next time!

Fourth of July: Fireworks

Welcome back!

I love the Fourth of July. I especially love the fireworks! This year, I got to be up close to them, because my boyfriend is afirefighter and they have to stay close to be ready in case they're needed. I had these special nails!

June Favorites

Welcome back!

Today I wanted to share my June mani and polish favorites!

I haven't had a lot of time lately to paint my nails a lot, unfortunately. So June was a pretty slow manicure month for me. I do a couple of manicures that I really loved, though.

Black & Blue Drybrush: This manicure was inspired by @youngwildandpolished. Not long after I thought about doing a dry brush, she did one really similar to this, and I fell in love with it! I love the technique, and the color combinations. What I really love is how easy it is!

China Glaze Spring Mix & Match: Again, I loved everything about this manicure! It was fun and easy to do, but I love the combinations of color that I chose. The colors are from the China Glaze spring Road Trip collection.


Other Favorites:

• Nail Vinyls. I don't know why, but I just fell in love with these this month! I used so many of them, whether it was the straights, the chevrons or even the french tip ones. You can purchase them here.
• Picture Nails. I used to absolutely love nails like this. Some examples from this month would be my graduation, Pete the Cat and Dr. Seuss nails. What I mean is where I draw a picture of something on my nails, instead of just having a design.

Mani By Annie: Fourth of July: Dots and Stripes

Welcome back!

Today, I painted one of my friends nails for the Fourth of July! Here's what I did.

Red: Sinful Shine Mirror Mirror

White: Essie Urban Jungle

Blue: Essie Style Cartel

Silver: Essie No Place Like Chrome

Glitter: Essie Set In Stone

For the stripe nails, I painted white, then used super skinny straight Nail Vinyls. I used a dotting tool for the polka dots, and then tape that I cut out in the shape of a heart to make the silver accent nail. It's hard to see the heart, but it's there. <3
