Manicure Monday - Birthday Nails

Hello Princesses!

Today I have my extra special birthday nails to show you! I really love these nails because they incorporate everything I love in manicures and they make me super happy! ^.^

I used Butter London's Poole for the greeny/blue colour, and a couple of rose water decals for the cute little pink roses. I finished off the middle two nails with a bunch of rhinestones to glam it up a little, because I can! ^.^

My birthday is tomorrow (13th of Jan), any other January babies here?

Manicure Monday: Bows and Bling

Hello Princesses!

Today I have a really interesting manicure! When I envisioned this manicure I thought it would look super cool with a full dimante nail and a cute little bow. I painted my nails at night and thought, these look awesome! I went out to classes the next day, looked down at my hands and though ... oh, actually they look a little hookerish.

...

I used China Glaze's Poinsettia for the red polish. It's a little brighter during the day than what I thought it looked like at night. Fun fact, I almost always paint my nails at night since I work/study during the day!  This means that my Vinylux top coat is an absolute must-have, since it stops my bed from imprinting my nails with that horrible sheet print!

I'm not sure how I feel about this manicure. During the day it was almost offensively red and I found myself subconsciously trying to hide my hands. >< Oops!

What do you Princesses think of this manicure?

Manicure Monday: Dressed Up Nudes

Hello Princesses!

Today I have another super cute manicure to show you - my Dressed Up Nudes manicure for the PANZ Challange!

To create my manicure, I started with a nude base colour which is OPI's Samoan Sand. I added some white lace water decals on my middle and ring finger, and a simple black rhinestone on my index and pinkie finger from Born Pretty Store. There are so many ways to dress up a nude polish, so check out all of the amazing entries at the PANZ blog to find some inspiration!
