Teal Tuesday: 3 Color Mani

Hello Ladies!

Today's Teal Tuesday mani is pretty straightforward.  Three colors, at least one of the teal.  So I tried a tape technique that I've seen around the nail community.  The look was very easy to achieve and I see more of these mani's with different colors in my crystal ball.

I started off with Sinful Colors Black On Black for the base color.  Then I brought out my beloved China Glaze Bohemian's.  I used Deviantly Daring and No Plain Jane, one coat of each.

 

I included this last pic to hopefully show off the duochrome finish.  You can see that Deviantly Daring shows up more blue on the index and middle fingers, and more green on the other two. 

 

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Polishing!

 

Teal Tuesday: Something Sweet

Hello my Lacquered Lovelies!

It took me a while to figure out what to do for this theme because in my mind teal and sweets just don't mesh. So I decided to try my hand at the spun sugar technique.

 

 

It actually looks pretty good IRL, but with the macro settings the pics look like a lumpy, bumpy mess.  I know that this kind of nail art is supposed to be textured, and that's what I like about it, but I could really do without the big globs.   Also, this method is very time consuming.  With the waiting for the polish to get stringy, it took about 10 minutes to do one nail.

Now on to the polishes.  For the base, I used 2 coats of Zoya Wednesday.  For the lines, I was going for a gradient look. I used (in order from the cuticle up) Zoya Zuza, Sally Hansen Insta Dry Blue Streak and Sinful Colors See You Soon.

Have you tried this technique before? 

Thanks for checkin' me out.  Happy Polishing!

Monkey See Monkey Do: Splatter

Hey Peeps! Today is Monkey See Monkey Do Monday and I have a splatter mani to show you.  My inspiration for today comes from The PolishAcholic. She has some really great splatter mani's. 

I wanted to do black and white with a splash of color. And what better combo that black, white and HOT pink?

I am in luv with how this turned out. The technique is easy, but the cleanup is a PITA. Next time I think I will do the lighter color first so the the black does not bleed through and put tape around the nails to make cleanup easier. I did a s platter mani before, and the results were good (of course this was pre-blogging days), so you can expect to see more splatters from me. 

So what do you think? What color combo's do you think would make a good splatter mani?
