Color Club Blue-Ming All Day Err Day

Hi muffins, I was thinking about skipping nail art tonight, but I just couldn't resist.  I'm currently hooked, I mean majorly hooked on a nail polish.  Ever get that way with a specific color? You just can't stop thinking about it, it makes you all warm and fuzzy inside. Anyone else? Anyone?

Maybe I'm a nut....wait, I think we figured that out in post #1....either way, I'm in lurve with a color and I must share with my friends....

I actually did 2 manicures with this baby this week....

Mmmhhmmm, momma smacking at it's finest!  The beauty I'm speaking of is Color Club Blue-Ming, a gorgeous bright mint green color. I've owned this little lady for over a year and decided to dust it off and finally give it some love. And oh baby, am I glad I did! The formula is pretty good, a bit streaky but evens out nicely on it's own. Topped with Seche Vite, this baby is perfect!

The nail art I did with this was my same ol' "Diamond Nail". I used Sation Tardy Tart which just happens to be my favorite polish of 2012.  The most perfect purple evaa!!

If you're interested in the Diamond Nail, here's a little tutorial I did on it...

Since I'm totally obsessed with Blue-Ming, I decided to slap that puppy on my nails again and add some nail art (yawn) of course!

I love these colors together, definitely one of my favorite combinations! It's been awhile since I've done my trademark flowers so I decided to go all out and put those petals on all my digits. The only thing I need now is a Pina Colada and a supermodel's body to put into this bikini that's gathering dust in my top drawer.

The flowers were done with Essie Orange It's Obvious...

I couldn't resist adding this cute little "name" shot

The flower center's were done with Essie Blanc, the greatest white polish to ever roam the Earth! 

And again...if you want to know how I do these perky little flowers....well there's an app for that too...err, I mean, here's a tutorial...

It's an older one....it's a bit blurry, low quality and I sound like a robot....wait, why am I attaching this?!!





Alright my friends, that's it for tonight....now be good little nail freaks and go smack your mama!!

Happy Polishing!!

Diamond (Nail Art) is a Girls Best Friend!!

Hi puddin pies, I have a little quicky for you today before I head upstairs to film my next video.  Wait, does that make me sound like a porn star? I swear it's just nails and makeup....I mean I do sometimes film with no pants on but that's only due to the scorching conditions I must endure due to a noisy air conditioner.

Anywhoo, I sat down to do my nails last night and it was already like midnight so I needed something quick and easy yet still cute.  So I pulled out 2 old favorites and got down to bid-ness.

For some reason these 2 colors were so hard to capture without the dreaded glare!  I used Essie Navigate Her and Essie Master Plan.  These 2 are total throwbacks for me.  Master Plan was one of the first Essie's I ever purchased and definitely a gateway drug to other Essie's!

This design may look a bit complex but I swear it is soooo easy! I started with a white base and topped it with Seche Vite.  Next I put striping tape diagonal on my nail going in one direction (Harry Styles not included) and then a few more going in the other direction.  Fill in the "diamonds", remove the tape and you're off to mama smackin town!  I topcoated everything with Seche Vite, but does that surprise anyone?  I don't think I've used any other topcoat in at least a year.

And as you can see, when I took the picture I hadn't done my thumb yet.  I am always at a loss as to what to do with that ever so sassy 5th digit.  I almost did the diamond design on it but I ended up just going with Master Plan...(visions of my bed were already dancing in my head by this time).  I do admit, sometimes I don't even do my thumb if I am just doing nail art for you guys but last night I actually let her join in on the fun!

I'm going to film a tutorial for this look very soon....let me know if there are any other designs you guys would like to see.

Gotta run....I think I hear them calling me on set! (oh wait, that's just the voices in my tiny little head)

Happy Polishing you crazy kids!
