Laser Mani

As I promised.....more Striping Tape Mani's. They are just so fun and easy.

What I used for this Mani:

Base Coat of Nail Magic Strengthener
Two Coats of Sinful Colors - Pink (Yes, that is the real unimaginative name)
Top Coat of Seche Vite

Thumb and Accent Finger:
Striping Tape in random directions
One Coat of Sally Hansen - Black Diamonds (LOVE this non-harsh color)
Pulled off the Striping Tape
Top Coat of Seche Vite

(Sorry for not cleaning up better. I didn't realize how bad it was till I looked at the pictures)

Here are some pics:







Thanks for looking !!

Rainbow in the Clouds (Sunburst Nails)

I went back and forth on this mani trying to decide if I liked it or not. I have decided it's a keeper (I think). I am starting to experiment with my striping tape and it's safe to say that I will be doing more striping tape mani's in the near future.

What I used for this Mani:

Base Coat of Nail Magic Strengthener (All Nails)

On my Thumb and Accent Finger: 
Striper Polish in Green, Pink, Yellow and Orange (Generic Brands from Big Lots)
Top Coat of Seche Vite
Striping Tape
One Coat of Pure Ice - Kiss Me Here
Striper Polish - Silver (Generic) for Corners
Top Coat of Seche Vite

All other nails:
Two Coats of Pure Ice - Kiss Me Here
Top Coat of Seche Vite

Here are the pics:









What do you think? Keeper or not so much?

* PINK * Fuzzy Sweater Nails (Velvet Nails)

I recently bought some Flocking Powder to see what these fuzzy nails were all about. The Flocking Powder is fairly cheap. I got mine from BornPretty, but I'm told you can get bundle packs from Joanne Fabrics and Michaels Craft Store also.

This was a very quick and easy Mani to do. It took a total of 10 Minutes but it only lasted about 1 day.

What I used for this Mani:

Base Coat of Nail Magic Strengthener
One Coat of Pure Ice - Flirt Alert
Flocking Powder
YOU'RE DONE!!

Here are some pics.....

P.S. Here is a pic of our newest rescue, Frankie. He has gained a whole pound since we adopted him and looks great. He is fitting in quite nicely. How could you not love that little bug-eyed cutie!!
