ARTSY WEDNESDAY Sponging

Welcome to another week of ARTSY WEDNESDAY My beautiful gems :))

This weeks theme is sponging! I was really feeling turquoise jewelry the past few days & that inspired the jewel toned hue I used on my nails.

I painted a base coat. Dotted on a contrast color..then sponged (using eyeshadow sponges) on more color at the free edge getting lighter as I approached the cutical. Topped with Seche

Polish Used:

•Sally Hansen The Real Teal
•Sonia Kashuk Fairy Princess
•Sally Hansen Mystic Lilac

ARTSY WEDNESDAY Dotticure

This weeks them was to incorporate dots into our look using only dotting tools,toothpicks,bobbypins ect...after applying a base coat of our choosing.

I chose to go for a bubbly look using three holographic colors over a black Creme polish. The look was very iridescent and rainbow....looks like someone was blowing bubbles at midnite.

I'm pleased with the outcome...I will admit that this was not easy to photograph so I apologize for the blur or flashes in some of the photos but I did try and capture the essence of the look.

Polish used:

•kleancolors Black
•Layla Coral Glam
•Layla Flash Black
•Layla

Artsy Wednesday Celeb Mani

Hello and welcome to this weeks Artsy Wednesday: Celebrity Inspired Manicures

I took My inspiration from Miss Katy Perry & the blinged out Mani she rocked at the MTV Awards..

KP had a silver base and rhinestones covering each finger...I took the less is more approach and only used rhinestones on My ring finger as an accent. I also switched out clear rhinestones for irridecent ones.

I really love the way it turned out. I hardly ever wear silver polish & it felt fancy with the bling added

Silvivor by WetNWild was used as the base...I think WNW Grays anatomy would have looked pretty cool as well

Artsy Wednesday Newspaper Mani

"Extra! Extra! Paint All About it!"
This weeks Artsy Wednesday theme is the Newspaper Manicure.

This was My first time attempting the newspaper technique..it's pretty much transferring the the ink onto your nail.
I wanted to add a little whimsy to My Mani, so I used a pink base & chose to use the Funnies. I picked The Beetle Baily Comic Strip that I've been reading since I was younger.

I first painted my nails with 2 coats of of Color Club He Loves Me, a pepto bismol colored Pink creme

When My nails were fully dried I dipped My nail in alcohol then pressed on the newspaper picture. Then carefully peel off the paper & wah lah like Magic the image appears.
Seal the image with a topcoat and Your done.
But if Your like me and need some sparkle in Your life add a coat of sparkle. I used the Genius topcoat & in person it turned my newspaper mani from black and white into full rainbow color....I tried capturing it but my camera can't stand rainbow sparkles..sorry

But You get the idea ;) join us next week for Celeb inspired Manicures.

Artsy Wednesday Sweets

If You have a SweetToOth than this weeks Challenge is for You!
I haven't been indulging in many sweets lately....So I'm living vicariously through My nails this week.
My nails are on a sugar high after choosing a Pink cupcake with rainbow sprinkles, an XL Cinnamon Roll with cream cheese frosting, Blackberry Pie & a Chocolate covered Strawberry.
This mani turned out Deliciously sweet..my personal favorite being the Cinnamon Roll. I used a matte white for the frosting and fine brown glitter for the cinnamon. I love the final look. Although this is not a manicure I'd wear everyday it was fun for the challenge.
My thumb is not pictured is a cinnamon roll as well.
It took many nail polish colors to create this look. Check the picture below!

In need of another Sugar Rush....Check out these Sweet Manicures:
