Classy Leopard

I recently went to Disneyland, so naturally I did some hidden Mickey nails. Can you spot them?  I wasn't ready to part with my little Mickeys so I changed up a few nails and kept my leopard and glitter nails for 5 days!

OPI Sheer Tints

While I had heard mixed reviews about these polishes, I purchased them as soon as I found the mini pack and have zero regrets! For this style nail art, I think these polishes are perfect.  Rarely are my nails commented on as much as they were when I wore this.  Yes these tints do tend to get a little thick and goopy, and did bubble a bit where I layered them a little thick. 
Colors used:
OPI Be Magentale With Me 
OPI I'm Never Amberrassed 
OPI Don't Violet Me Down
OPI I Can Teal You Like Me!
Chanel Eastern Light
Sinful Colors Nice Stems
Sinful Colors Beverly Hills

Saturday Spam- Tribal Accent Nail

This week I hand painted a tribal accent nail, I loved it so much that I wore it for 4 days.  I had to change up my mani a bit though so I used it as the perfect opportunity to try some of my new KBShimmer pretties.

The accent nail is a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and tribal done with China Glaze Liquid Leather.
KBShimmer Shore Thing

KBShimmer A Raisin To Live

KBShimmer Low And Be Bold

I truly love all of these polishes, but I think A Raisin To Live is my absolute favorite. This picture really doesn't do it justice, this polish is rich and complex and so sparkly!! 

Which mani is your favorite?

OPI Amazon… Amazoff Gets Glittered

This mani has been sitting in my drafts folder for months, don't know why I didn't post it sooner because it's really one of my favorites!

I started with a base of OPI Amazon… Amazoff and attempted a Polish All The Nails inspired glitter placement accent nail. I still need a lot of practice, but I've got to say I'm impressed with my first attempt. And it took far less time than I expected, but I don't think I have the patience or hand stability to do this on all of my nails.

Glitters-
Light Teal Hex Glitter from LA Girls Glitter Addict Animate
Loose Medium Teal Hex Glitter
Loose Green Has Glitter
Black Hex Glitter from Hard Candy Pop Star

Glitter Tips

This is a super easy, but really pretty manicure. 3 thin coats of KBShimmer Eclipse with OPI Snowglobe Trotter dabbed at the tip! This looked really pretty with a bit of a funky edge, love it!
