Official Grey Cup Nails!

It took longer than I thought... but here's the actual post with photos of the nails I did for the Grey Cup! These photos were actually taken a full day later, after they had gotten roughed up at school, so I had to replace some and fix up some other nails, which is why they don't look as good as they did on the first night.

Officially My Best Gradient Manicure

So I am super excited to write this... I did this manicure about a week ago, but only got around to posting it now, but I was feeling up for a challenge so I decided to give myself a gradient manicure... only instead of a horizontal gradient I was going to do a vertical gradient instead!!

I am sooooooooooooo happy with the way it turned out :)

I used a matte top coat first but then I took some photos with a regular top coat on top of the matte one! Ready for the gorgeousness?!?!

BAM!!

NOTD: Classy and Elegant

Two of my favourite polishes that go together are Snow Cone and Gum Drop by Orly. I purchased them at the same time because they went so well together, and also because they were polishes I didn't have before.

I did this manicure during the summer, when I was looking for something pretty, elegant, and kind of pastel-y, and I also wanted to try out some of the designs on my BundleMonster plates, and this is what I came up with:

First Bundlemonster Manicure!

So with my Bundlemonster plates that came in the mail today, I was really eager to try them out so originally I decided to do one nail a different colour with a darker/lighter shade used to stamp with a different design on every nail... but after several attempts at a finicky small design I decided to go with something bigger ☺ for some reason with just having the base colours my nails reminded me of pastel macaroons... yum!

Waterdrop Manicure

I can honestly say that this is probably the manicure that I'm most proud of... and it took me a long time to do it as well!

I thought of the idea the day I was doing my Euro 2012 nails, and on my pinky finger I was doing "2012" in acrylic paint... to my surprise when I watered it down to make it a little bit easier to work with, it created this transparent colour, so I took that and ran - I've done watercolour manicures before with nail polish and acetone/nail polish remover but I decided I would make a different kind of effect, kind of like translucent water drops!

the final effect...

EURO 2012 nails (old)

So I know that Euro ended a while ago, but I was looking through photos of nails that I've done and wanted to post these! 

I apologize for the tipwear and the hang nail on my pointer as well, but as you know the show must go on... ☺

Today's Manicure - Drippy Pink Glitter!

So this morning I was wondering what I should do with my nails, and I decided to do something pink, because I honestly don't wear pink that much on my nails... 

I remembered seeing this picture on Beautylish a while ago and I remember at the time I wondered how she had done it... so today I remembered and decided to create a drippy glittery manicure of my own!
