Just another pretty pink...

I wanted something bright with glitter and sparkle.
I really think I got what I wanted.

This is Finger Paints Sketched & Etched.
It's a dark fuchsia with some shimmer.
It actually is really bright in person.
The formula is really good 
and dries pretty quickly.
This is 2 coats.


I added Kleancolor Chunky Holo Fuchsia on all the nails
and Fuchsia Glitter on the ring finger.

Easter mani! *edit*

Sorry for the lack of entries,
I haven't been feeling well since Tuesday. 
I have a lot of pics of manis that I have done
but still haven't edited. 
I did get around editing the Easter mani pics.

First I did the french and the accent nail
using Sinful Colors Boom Boom.

Shooting Star

This is Kleancolor Shooting Star.
It's is AMAZING!
It's has a cooper/gold jelly base 
with hex glitter in red, turquoise & yellow,
and some regular gold glitter. 

I did a gold base before adding it,
because I wasn't sure how sheer it would be. 
I used Bettina Celebrate

Welcome to the Candy Shop!

This is Claire's Candy Shop.


There has been a lot of fuss about
it been Deborah Lippmann's Candy Shop dupe.
I would say that they have the same style.
Pink with multi-color glitter.
DL has more of a milky light pink base
and Claire's has a jelly hot pink base.
Price comparison is out of place
since there is such a difference,
so for people like me, with a low budget for buying nail polish,
it's a great way to get a similar one.

First, I added Cream Pink has a base color,
since I wasn't sure how sheer it would be.

Enrique's choice!

I couldn't choose a color,
so I decided to let Enrique pick one for me. 


He choose Sinful Colors Cinderella
Such a fun, Spring time color. 



Then I went out for a bit
and found some Kleancolor's at a local pharmacy. 
This is one of them, Winter Wonderland.
Amazing color!!!

Neon zebra!

I wanted to do something fun and bright. 
So I picked 5 of my brightest colors.
I used SC Neon Melon, 24/7, Cloud 9 and Amethyst
and Kleancolors Neon Agua
I'm so in love with how it turned out! 
I should do it again but with 10 different color!

Lorelei's Tiara

This is China Glaze Lorelei's Tiara
from the Eye Candy 3D Glitter collection.
Amazing glitter! 
I did 1 coat of Cherimoya Pearl Silver for the base
and then 2 coats of the glitter.

[Warning lots of pics!]

The next day I wanted to do something to it
so I painted my ring finger silver,
then did the glitter line in the middle
and added the 4 blue neon dots on each side.

Then I did the lines with my art club
nail art in white.
