Day 7: Black And White With Glitter

This is extremely late and I am sorry about that, but I will be posting the last four throughout the weekend. Today I have Black and White with glitters to share with you for Day 7. Originally when I saw this day I said that it would be my chance to use my Nubar Black and White Dots, but I passed because I thought there might be a chance that one of my other challenge mates might do it at some point during this challenge. This one really stumped me because there aren't a ton of black and white glitters out there to chose from (def wasn't about to use CTD). So what I finally decided to do is an alternating black and white nails and layer Dollish Polish Team Salvatore over each. I absolutely LOVE this glitter and definitely see myself getting great use out of it! I'm mad for not posting this the day of the challenge because it was a big hit on IG, but finally I have time to sit at the computer and play catch up. Onto the yumminess...

Day 6: Color Base With White

Good Morning Babes! Today I had to pick a color base with white. I used Kiko 341 as my base, special white polish, Shany ip SH22, and Seche Vite as my top coat. I just love 341, its such a bright fun tealish turquoise? It was super hard to capture however, but I managed to pretty much get what it looks like in the second picture...

What do you think of the stamp pairing? I really like this color with the white stamping and design, it kind of called to me lol. I'm sorry about all the glares but I had to get super close with the flash in the first picture, and far away with the flash and zoom in with the second picture. The quality of the second picture seriously sucks. I have no idea why it wouldn't let me enlarge without really making the picture blurry, but I did have to take this picture as far away as I could just to get the true color. I'm going to have to swatch 341 again during the daytime to see if I can get better picture. Anyhoo don't forget to check out what the other lovelies came up with today :o) Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Darlings. Today for Day 5 we have a color base with something black. OF COURSE you know I was going to pick blue or pink!

What do you think of what I came up with for today? I know you have been seeing a lot of this ip, but I'm on a mission swatching through my hundreds of untried polish and ip's so bear with me. This image was a bish to transfer, but I was determined to get this girly punk image right because it was one of the reasons I was most excited about getting this ip. The other images are perfection, but this one was just ugh. Don't forget to check on the other lovely ladies who are also doing this challenge. Oh and I'm doing a 31 Day Untrieds challenge on Instagram, so if you have an iPhone check me out over there :o) ! Thanks for stopping by to see what I have to share with you today.

Day 4: White Base With Some Color

Good Morning Babes and Happy Saturday! Day 4 of the challenge is a white base with some color. My base is OPI Alpine Snow, stamped using aEngland Tristam, DRK-A big ip, and Seche Vite as my tc. I love this image because it reminds me of jellyfish floating in the ocean :o)

What do you think of this combo? Have you ever seen jellyfish floating in the ocean, or been to the aquarium and seen the different types of pretty jellyfish? If not you really should, some are just amazing! My mani jellyfish on my middle finger floated away :o( lol. I'm really falling in love with these mani's using black and white. I usually only stamp with one or the other, but they generally the base or main color in the creation. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekends.

MORNTING and Welcome to Day 3! Today's challenge mani is black base with a color. My base is 2 coats of Bettina Onix, special polish Psyche Pink, DRK-A big ip, and Seche Vite as my top coat.

Good Morning Babes! Day 2 of the challenge is White on Black. My base is OPI Black Onyx, special white polish, DRK-A big ip, and SV as my tc. I wanted to try something girly that I would normally do in a pink mani, and I'm happy with how it came out. Onto the swatches...

What do you think of this black and white twist on flowers? I'm really loving the black and white theme! I never use the two colors by themselves in the same mani, so this is a breath of fresh air. Don't forget to stop by a see what the other ladies came up with today, and follow their lovely blogs if you aren't already. Thanks for reading :o)

Day 1: Black on White

Good Morning Babes! Today is the first day of a 10 Day Challenge I will be participating in that was created by Mateja of Purple Glitters. Today's nails have to have a white base with black on top. My base is 2 coats of Zoya Purity (the best white EVER), I stamped using special black polish, my new Brazilian big DRK-A ip, and finished with a coat of SV. I didn't have any set idea, I really just picked a random image on the ip to use since I hadn't used this plate yet, and I'm happy with what I chose.

What do you think of what I came up with for Black on White? It was SUPER late and I rushed to put tc on and smeared it a little 2 fingers, but other than that I actually really like it and I really really don't want to take it off :o( . Also this is my first time using my light box, and I'm happy that the pictures turned out true to color (now to just test colors :-/). Have you stopped by to see what the other ladies have come up with today? If you haven't don't forget to check out their Black on White nails, and follow their amazing blogs if you aren't already. Thanks for reading :o)
