Teal Tuesdays....Challenge Geometric

Hi Guys, I decided to go ahead and participate in Teal Tuesdays today's challenge is Geometric.  I didn't take off my mani that I showed you earlier today.  If you haven't seen it look here .  I added on some triangle lines with a teal stripper nail art polish by Kiss and the name is Soft Blue.

 

 

 

I think it's still cute.  What do you think?

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Teal Tuesdays...Challenge Jelly Sandwich

Hi Guys,

It's Teal Tuesdays time and the Challenge: Jelly Sandwich 

I'm so excited for this challenge because I wanted to use white bread for this look.  I know whole wheat bread is better for you but trust me just for today I'm going for white bread which is China Glaze Moonlight, it's a sheer white jelly polish.  You don't hear much about this one so I'm featuring it today because it's a pretty good jelly actually not too bad in the streaky department.  I believe it's still available at your local Sally's.

The glitter used is L.A. Girl Glitter Addict, Nostalgic a teal blue in small and medium hexagon glitters.  I love these glitters and I have several of them in my collection.  I purchased them from Cherry Culture online.

China Glaze Moonlight and L.A. Girl Glitter Addict Nostalgic

Here are the steps...

                                     China Glaze Moonlight (3 coats)

I applied thin coats letting them dry thoroughly.  Nice smooth milky finish.

L.A. Girl Glitter Addict, Nostalgic (1 coat)

I did a dabbing motion applying the glitter it's easier this way so the glitter goes on evenly without any lumps forming.  It's so sparkly and I love it against the white. 

Last step...

China Glaze Moonlight (1 coat)

Love how the one coat of white changed the glitter to a lighter shade of teal blue.  Also I topped it off with a coat of Poshe' fast dry tc. No gritty glitter here very smooth. 

More Pics...

I love this so much! I'll be making more white bread sandwiches with different color jelly glitters.

Do you like white jelly sandwiches?  Will you try it?

 
 Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Teal Tuesdays...Challenge Teal Triplets

Today is Teal Tuesdays.  Not much of a challenge today, there are three polishes to choose from  China Glaze Atlantis, Zoya Zuza and A-England Saint George.  I choose the latter.  All are beautiful but I haven't tried my Saint George yet so here it is...

What a beautiful dark teal scattered holo.  I decided not to add any nailart on top of it.  Can you believe it's a one coater?!  If you don't own it I suggest you get it :)

Teal Tuesdays...Challenge Half Moon

Today is Teal Tuesdays and the challenge: Half Moon

I was excited to take on this challenge because I done it once and was very pleased with the look.  The first time I took on the challenge I used reinforcements  to tape off for the moon design.  Lo and behold I couldn't find them.  So, I tried to freehand the moon...bad decision it looked like a first grader took on the challenge. Lol!  I grabbed my Nailene french tip guides, they did okay but it didn't give the round curve shape I was looking for. 

 
After applying my base coat I polished on 2 coats of L'oreal Now You See Me.  It's a pretty greyed teal creme and sorta jelly like.  This polish is thin, I had some dragging problems with it.  Next time I'll make sure I let the first coat dry thoroughly.

I applied a coat of Seche Vite so the first polish can dry faster.  I waited about 10 mins. and applied the french tip guides carefully.  I layered a coat of Wet n' Wild  On a Trip.  I am in love with this purple shade.  I think it's gorgeous!  The bottle brush is hugh I mean so hugh it looks like a snow shovel.  I immediately removed the french tip guides and viola! I'm not crazy about the moon shape here but I'm loving the color combo! Whoo Who!

  I almost put a layer of Sally Hansen Diamond Strength, Glass Slipper (white flakies) over the top but decided to leave it as is.


Have you tried a half moon design?   Thoughts?

Teal Tuesdays...Challenge Glitterbomb

Today is Teal Tuesdays:  Challenge Glitterbomb


I purchased quite a few Cosmetic Arts nail polishes from Ross.  They have an array of beautiful colors and most of the ones I picked up are cremes.  What I don't like about them no names on the bottles.  I thought they had the names listed on the website  "Cosmetic Group" but they must of taken the collection down...not there anymore only Color Clubs.   However, I do have a name for one of the ones I'm wearing today.

I wanted to show you my monochrome gradient of light color teal with a darker one, darker teal on the tips before I added on the black glitter.  I loved the way it turned out I just wish the pictures show you the contrast between the 2 teals and how pretty it really is.

The unknown name polish is much more brighter and has a green undertone to it.

Only one coat of L.A. Girls Glitter addict was used.  I'm loving this large and small hex glitter topcoat.

If you don't have L.A. Girls Glitter addict, Uninhabited you need it in your collection!  I want to paint it over every color.

Teal Tuesdays...Challenge Gradient

Good Morning,

Today is Teal Tuesdays the challenge: Gradient

I've shown you several gradient manicures so this one should have been a breeze to do.  My challenge was coming up with another combo to go with the color teal.  I decided on orange, Morocco colors.

Moroccan Doorway- Patterson Maker

 
By sponging on both colors the two combining together is somewhat of a burgundy color.  I think that is the fun part doing gradients.

Now I'm ready to stamp over it. Lol!
