LDTTWC - Day 2: It's Vintage, Darling!

Hey guys, and hello to the new followers! I'm back with the next post for the Let's Do The Time Warp Challenge. Today is Day 2: It's Vintage Darling!

I came up with the idea for these by googling 1920's nails. One of the trends that started back then were a style called "Paris nails" where the half moon and tip were left plain and the rest of the nail was painted pink.

I couldn't leave the half moon and tip alone, and my mom suggested that I use silver, which I'm happy about because I think it fit with the pink. It actually made these look kind of futuristic.

I used:
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - French White Creme (as a base)
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Tickled Pink
China Glaze - Millenium
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Black Creme (Eiffel Tower)
Love & Beauty - Red (hearts)

I kind of love these nails. They're so girly and soft, different from what I've been doing lately.

And because Hello Kitty fits with the girly theme, here's a pic with the ring I wore:

That's it, darlings! Hope you like it!

Let's Do The Time Warp Challenge - Day 1

Hey guys! I'm excited to announce that I'm doing the Let's Do The Time Warp Challenge over at Neverland Nail blog. I'm SO excited about this challenge because I love vintage.

Today is Day 1: I should have been born in... and I've got some groovy 70's nail art to show.

Now I should include some sort of explanation for why I chose the 70's, right? Three reasons:
1.) I love the 20's, 30's, and 40's and I didn't want everyday of the challenge to be about them so I chose something different!
2.) Most of my favorite rappers were born in the 70's.
3.) The patterns man, the patterns!

These nails were inspired by tie dye, flower power, lava lamps, and leather fringe vests, and I wanted each to look like some crazy pattern that would fit in as the backdrop on That 70's Show (remember the lil transitions with the characters dancing or swinging or whatever?)

I used:
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - French White Creme (base on every nail)
Sinful Colors - Ruby Ruby
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Sunny Side Up
L.A. Girl  Disco Brites - Psychedelic
Sinful Colors - Irish Green
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Brisk Blue
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Tickled Pink
Kleancolor - Pastel Blue
Wet N' Wild Spoiled - Show Me Some Skin
Revlon - Espresso

That's all! I'll be back later this week with Day 2!

Slaughterhouse Blood Splatter Nails

I might've mentioned on this blog that my favorite hip hop group is Slaughterhouse, and if you're familiar with them, you might like this post. If not, consider this the first Halloween post of the season.

Tuesday to most of you was August 28th. For us House Gang fans, it was Slaugust 28th, the day their much anticipated 2nd album welcome to: OUR HOUSE came out, their first on a major label (which just happens to be Eminem's Shady Records) and a day I've been looking forward to.

I wanted to do theme nails, because I've seen music inspired nails on other blogs before, but none inspired by Slaughterhouse, or any of my favorite rappers. The inspiration for these came from the artwork to their first album, their EP, and a picture of a house that was on the front page of their site a few months ago. Dark, dreary, grey, and blood splattered. Right up my alley.

I used:
a mix of Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Black Creme and French White Creme
Sinful Colors - Ruby Ruby

I did the blood splatters with a straw. But this method? I'm resisting the urge to drop profanity that would probably make all 4 grown men in Slaughterhouse blush. It is MESSY !!!!

And if you're like me and used red? Oh it will look like you murdered someone. Peep this collage I posted on Instagram:

I never played with Halloween fake blood (which is probably a surprise to some people ha!) but if it's not long lasting then nail polish will do the trick. These would be great for Halloween. Or if your name is Miss DeVious DiVa you'll rock these in August like it's the hot new thing.

Remember when I did a verse to their Hammer Dance beat all about The Hunger Games? You don't? Let me remind you then:

Far Out Galaxy Nails

Ready for some really cool nails? I dunno what made me do galaxy nails, I've never done them and decided to try. For some reason I always thought these were really complicated and took a lot of time to do. Dude, totally the opposite.

I followed THIS post by Rebecca. I think anytime I link to a tutorial on here, it's been by Rebecca, but I love her blog and her tutorials are easy to follow. Funny thing is, it's not even a tutorial, but she did post step-by-step pictures.

I only had a few of the polishes she used, so I used substitutions and made a few changes to them too. I shoulda watched the video she linked to, but guess what? Yea, it was late and I was going somewhere the next day. Story of my blog right?

These are easy to do but use a lottttt of polishes. I used:
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - Black Creme
Wet N' Wild Wild Shine - French White Creme
Wet N' Wild Chrome - Precious Petals
Hard Candy - Beetle
Klean Color - Pastel Blue
Santee - Opal Speckle
Klean Color - Chunky Holo Fuschia
Sally Hansen - Hidden Treasure

Bonus outfit pic time:

If my dear cousin Becca is reading this, I only have two words for you: SPICY LIME! :p
Good pizza spot + family time + actin a fool at Walmart with the cousin = a good day indeed.

Mannequin Nails With Santee

Here's a palette cleanser for you guys after those candy coated Sanrio inspired nails.

I originally planned on doing an Ikat pattern over this, but liked how it looked. I think this Santee polish is a good match to do the Mannequin look. Added the glitter just for some extra flair.

As you can see, this was taken indoors. At Target. :]

I used:
Santee - Light Nude
Santee - Opal Speckle

I think these kinds of nails are called palette cleansers, right? Stuck these in between two wild looks, because my next nails will be the return of cool awesome nail art!

Little Twin Stars Twins

Hey guys! I tried out my first jelly sandwich, inspired by Nouveau Cheap's My Little Twin Stars manicure. I fell in love with her nails when I first saw that post and knew I wanted to recreate it except I didn't have any of her polishes, or even any that came close.

Until last week, I was at Walmart and lo and behold they have a big new Sinful Colors display up. AND IT HAD CINDERELLA IN IT! I've looked for it since it came out. Along with Cinderella, I picked up Glass Pink, which looks like her pink sister, and Gorgeous. You guys coulda guessed that I wouldn't have just bought 1 right? ;]

I used:
Sinful Colors - Cinderella
Sinful Colors - Glass Pink
Santee - Moon Light Glitter
Love & Beauty - Bubblegum

TIP: If you're using a shape glitter with stars or hearts or something, here's a trick I learned doing these nails. Use the polish brush to grab the stars and a toothpick to fish it out and apply on your nail. If you need more stars, close your bottle of polish and shake it, then turn it upside down and shake it again. When you open it up, there should be more stars on the brush to fish out.

TRUST ME. This way is easier. It was taking me so long to get stars, I thought by the time I'd be done the iPhone 10s would be out and dinosaurs would somehow have come back. Just be careful to not let go of the bottle when you're shaking it, cause it will fly out of your hands. And if you're like me, you will do these at 2am and your mom will comment that it was so loud it sounded like a bomb. Indeed.

Have any of you ever tried out a jelly sandwich? I'm excited to try more!
