Wet 'n Wild Fall Dotticure

Welcome back!

I got most of the Wet 'n Wild Fall 2015 polishes a while ago, and I decided to use most of them in a manicure!

White: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri OMGhost
Red: Wet 'n Wild Megalast Stop and Mel-the-Roses
Blue: Wet 'n Wild Megalast Pop-Up Bluetique
Charcoal: Wet 'n Wild Megalast Keep Vinyl Alive
Dark Plum: Wet 'n Wild Megalast Gettin' Inked

This was so simple to do and didn't take very long! I did dots on four of my nails using different sized dotting tools, and for my ring finger, I used the plastic bag method!

Halloween 2015: Haunted House Accent

Welcome back!

Today I did my first very Halloween-y manicure! I really wanted to do a plastic bag nail, so I used that and a simple dotticure so I could feature my haunted house on my index finger.

White: China Glaze White On White
Black: China Glaze Liquid Leather
Orange: China Glaze Home Sweet House Music
Gold: Pure Ice Studette

This was really simple to do. I used a medium-small sized dotting tool for the middle finger dotticure, and a nail art brush from Winstonia to paint the haunted house on my index finger. The ring finger and thumb were the plastic bag method!

Baseball Nails 2015 #6: OPI Umpires Come Out At Night

Welcome back!

Here are some more late post nails from the first of September that I did when my dad and I went to our last baseball game of the season! Well, at least more than likely. I moved out of state temporarily, and so I don't know when I can get home to go to another game until next summer. So for now, I'm just going to assume it was my last game until spring!

Anyway, I wanted to do something even more fun than my last few nail art designs that I did for baseball games, so I did three accent nails! Do they count as accent nails when there is more than there are solid nails? Anywho, I did a plastic bag nail, a chevron nail, and of course a baseball nail!

White: OPI Alpine Snow

Blue: OPI Umpires Come Out At Night

Red: Sally Hansen I Heart Nail Art Pen Red

The chevron nail was done using regular chevron nail vinyls. They can be found here.

OPI Hawaii Mix & Match

Welcome back!

Today I wanted to share with you what I did the other day using some more of the OPI Hawaii collection. So far, I love that collection! I bought 9 of the 12 polishes, and they are all so fun and pretty.

Purple: OPI Hello Hawaii Ya?
Green: OPI That's Hula-rious!
Orange: OPI Is Mai Tai Crooked?

The ring finger was the plastic bag method (again) and the middle finger was done using single chevron Nail Vinyls. The flowers were done using basic dotting tools.

Plastic Bag with Subtle Stamping

Welcome back!

I'm so excited and sad all about the same thing...stamping. I'm excited because this was my first very successful stamping manicure! I'm sad, because it is hard to see the success! I thought the polish that I used to stamp with would be more shimmery and bright, so I thought it would show up better. Unfortunately, the base polish was a little too dark for it. It is possible to see, just difficult! I kind of like the subtly, but I wish it was just a little less subtle...

Purple: OPI I Carol About You
Maroon: OPI Just Beclaus
Shimmery Pink: OPI Kiss Me-Or Elf!
Glitter: OPI So Elegant
Floral Stamping Plate: W310 from Winstonia



















Here is a close up picture of the stamping nail!

It became more obvious when I put a matte top coat on top. Apparently I should have worn it that way! I actually really like the look of the matte on the stamping and on the plastic bag method nail. It's really different, which is awesome!


I sponged the glitter on for my accent nail, and did the plastic bag method for my middle finger and thumb. The pinky and pointer finger were both done with stamping!

Essie Summer Mix & Match

Welcome back!

Today I wanted to share the nails I did using the entire Essie Summer 2015 collection! I have been on an Essie kick lately, and that's all I want to use. I just love the color combinations in their collections, because you can use every shade and it doesn't look like too much.

White: Private Weekend
Green: Chillato
Coral: Peach Side Babe
Red: Sunset Sneaks
Light Blue: Saltwater Happy
Dark Blue: Pret-A-Surfer

I started each nail with a white base. My thumb and index finger were done using the dry brush method. I used all of the light colors for this. The outcome with three colors makes me think of a quilt! This method is so easy, and there is hardly any drying time! If you are looking for a quick manicure, dry brushing is the way to go.


For the middle and pinky fingers, I used mini chevron Nail Vinyls. To alternate colors, I placed the color in between the chevrons using a dotting tool. You can just use the brush, but when it is such a small area, I prefer the dotting tool for more precision.

The ring finger was the plastic bag method, which I just did the other day for the first time! I really liked this method, because it is so easy. It also didn't take anywhere near as long to dry as I expected. The last nail art idea I tried with blobs of polish never dried, and I ended up taking it off and starting over. For this, the plastic brings part of the polish up, which helps it to dry quicker, because there is not as much built up polish left.

Plastic Baggie Nails

Welcome back!

Today I wanted to share some nails that I did the other day using the Essie Resort 2015 collection! I found this collection in my box (yes, box) of untried polishes, and realized I'd never used them! They are all so pretty and cute, so I knew I had to find something to do with them.

To be honest, I had no idea what I was going to do when I sat down with them and began painting. I still had yet to ever attempt something with the "plastic bag" method, so I thought that would be fun to do, but what else? I added the flower accent nail, but still wanted one more nail with something beyond a plain color. When I painted the base, though, I knew what would fit perfectly...the Eiffel Tower!

Light Pink: Essie Time For Me Time
Brown: Essie Cocoa Karma
Purple: Essie Suite Retreat
Pink: Essie Stones 'n Roses
Black: Essie Licorice

I am so happy with how these turned out! I haven't been able to convince myself to take them off, because they are so fun and cute, but so easy, too! For the plastic bag nails, I followed the tutorial by Young Wild and Polished, which can be found here. Basically, all you do is put down big drops of polish, then put a piece of a plastic bag on it and smush it around to blend them all together a little bit. The flowers and Eiffel Tower were done using dotting tools!
