Stripes with China Glaze Avant Garden Polish

Hi guys
Here is my second nail using my new polishes from China Glaze Avant Garden Collection. This design is very different from my first post. In fact this design is very different from anything I've done before. I have to admit that when it comes to nail designs.. here it goes... I'm very girly, I love hearts and flowers and sparkle and all those yummy girly things. Even though its different I still like it.

For this look I used China Glaze Fancy Pants as my base, it a blue/purple with slight pink shimmer. For the bold lines I used Tart-y for the Party a nice pastel lilac. For my accent finger I used the previous colors along with Life is Rosy, Passion for petals, and Fade into Hue.

I used my trusty nail tape for this. I do have to admit my tape skills are improving since the first time I took the tape dive.

As my top coat I used Sally Hansen Mega Shine topcoat. It lasted 3 days with out any chips.

So what your favorite color so far? This is only my second nail art mani and I think a pastel will have the spotlight next!

Enjoy!

Haute Couture nails using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear

Hi all
Today I am showing you my entry for Sally Hansen I heart nail art contest. This months theme is inspiration from the runway. I googles haute couture, and got a lot of hits, mostly bright colors and a lot of sequins. I finally ended up with a dress that had a lot of lines and was different from everything else I was looking at. After I chose my picture I needed to bring out my nail tape ( oh oh !) BUT!!!!!!I'm really proud of this mani !  I have to face it... I'm not very skilled at tape manis and this mani needed crisp lines which my art brush could not accomplish. Fortunately with the mercy of the nail polish gods, my lines came out super clean Yeay!

For this look I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow, The grey is Zoya Carey and The black is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Black out. I topped it all off with a coat of Seche vite. For my lines I used nail art tape. I have to say that the best tape I use is the white nail art tape. it doesn't bleed when it is painted over ( my red, blue, pink and green tape bleed :/) . I also waited about 10 minutes for the yellow and grey base coat to dry before adding tape. Hey this is for a competition so you know I had to be patient.

This is my inspiration Armani Prive 2013, I wouldn't mind owning this dress.

I love this mani, like I said in my information for this mani, yellow is a strong color but I think I successfully tones it down.

The art contest will be judged on many categories, photography, Creativity and originality, and use of Sally Hansen products and public vote. So if you would like to vote for me click here , my entry is under my name @Bibian Bard.

Thanks for reading enjoy!

Let It snow Challenge Winter Blues

Hi All,

Well today I definitely took this theme literally. This week is winter blues, and the last of our winter blues, because there is no more winter nails! YEAY. It's funny how my nails are in no way winter related except for the blue and white!

For this I used Sally Hansen White on and China Glaze Transitions in Modify me.

I used Out the door as my topcoat and Modify me did not transition to a darker color that well. It's okay I still like it. 

I hope you guys like it and please don't be blue this is the last of the Winter Blues! I promise. 
Enjoy
