NOTD ~ Dark Skies, Shiny Hearts

This is my NOTD. I used Navy by Eyes Lips Face - 2 coats. This stuff is super smooth in application, not clumpy or thick, and it's inexpensive to the max. Then I put dots of clear top coat (Seche Vite) where I wanted the cutout hearts, then stuck those on with my pointer finger. For extra protection, I put more Seche Vite on top.

NOTD ~ Grape-y fun with a metallic dot! - China Glaze Spontaneous

I would like to share a NOTD with you.
It is of a manicure I did for my mother.

This is actually from last week or so... I'm behind, I know I know. Oof!

This is 2 coats of China Glaze in Spontaneous. On top of the "engagement fingernails" (LOL - that's what I call them), I took these tiny metallic reddish purple discs from a bag of confetti and put them on with a bit of clear nail polish (Seche Vite), allowed that to dry, then put some topcoat over it to seal the deal (Protect it).


That's all there is to it! Hope today is good one for you!

If you find it wasn't to your liking, change your polish color! Works for me :)

NOTD ~ Zoya Nail Polish in Jolene

I would like to share a NOTD with you.
It is of a manicure I did for my mother.





I did this mani for her yesterday. I love the pop of pink. Reminds me of Barbie pink or popsicle pink. This is 2 coats. Beautiful color (Zoya in Jolene).



That's it! Hope today will be a good one for ya.

Make sure that nail polish is lookin' fresh!

NOTD ~ Raspberry, Oreo, Daisy Surprise!

I would like to share a NOTD with you.
It is of a manicure I did for my mother.










I created this look with these ~

I did 2 coats of this nail polish. Oddly enough... This polish didn't have a name printed on it.. Just the number: 4451-01. If you can't find it with such limited info, I think any color can be used as a backdrop for this look. But... If you'd like to try to find colors like this one, think of ones that are a raspberry creme color like OPI Hoodoo Voodoo:

Next up I used the following colors for the daisies ~





New York Color 134A
New York Color 119A Black Lace Creme
I used this 'Dotting Tool' to make the flowers. On the left hand, I did 3 white flowers with 3 black dots. To make the flower shape, I took a small blob of white polish and made 5 dots tried to visualize a flower and its petals. Then I took the other side of the dotter and took a tiny bit of black to make a small center. I did the same procedure on the right hand, except I made 2 black flowers with white centers. I like doing asymmetrical designs.
I used Seche Vite as the top coat to protect the manicure & nail art designs.

That's it! Hope today was a good one. If it wasn't, change your polish color!

NOTD

I would like to share a NOTD with you. It is of a manicure I did for my mother.





I created this look with these ~


I used 1 coat of OPI ridge-filler first. 2 coats of IsaDora Frosty Stone for the polish. Then I finished with Seche Vite top coat. I think this nude color looks really pretty on her. Perfect for a professional office setting.




That's it! Hope today was a good one.
If it wasn't, change your polish color!

NOTD

I would like to share my NOTD with you.








I created this look with these ~





2 coats of Zoya Luna as base


2 coats of OPI Mad as Hatter


Deborah Lippman Happy Birthday - I did this as one coat, but then dotted it wherever looked too scant (in terms of glitter).


Finished up with Seche Vite

That's it! Hope today was a good one.
If it wasn't, change your polish color!
