First International mani ;)

Ok first I'm in Hong kong right now!! Wow...havent been back here in a while and I totally forgot how hot/humid it can be... anyways I didnt get to take a lot of pictures of this mani but I really liked the overall effect..I was so busy unpacking and getting all my business ready..

I didnt take the step by step of the process... but I used OPI/Pirates of the Caribbean polish for all the base colors.. I alternated with Steady As She Rose and Planks A Lot..

The polishes I used were Milani Gems, OPI- Steady As She Rose, Planks A lot, and I Juggle...Men



I just alternated the 2 colors on all my fingers...





for the glitter I used my orange stick and individually placed the glitter in a diagonal line across my nail...




So since I have so much to do I have a feeling I won't be able to post as regularly as I like... I brought my laptop with me but my charger isnt compatible with the outlets.. so i cant use my laptop and im currently borrowing my aunt's one...that also explains the lack of watermark on my pictures...hopefully I can update soon...till then hope you're all having a great summer ^_^

Take A Sparkly Pill...

This mani is fast and simple..like most of my manis haha... I wanted to work with lighter colors so I used 2 OPI colors and the sparkle comes from a NYX girl polish and a Milani polish..

The pill title comes from the idea that like the Tylenol pills or the old school video games the pills were always 2 colors and the two ends were different colors like that..

First off my base color is from the OPI Pirates collection- Steady As She Rose... I used 2 coats for full opacity..


Then the other colors is from the same collection.. OPI- Stranger Tides...

To make the clean lines I used tape to tape off the section I wanted to use Stranger Tides on before putting on the polish..

Halfway through the mani I changed my pointer finger and did the opposite colors (base-Stranger tides, top- Steady As She Rose)..

I used NYX Girls- Prismatic Gold for the sparkly-ness on the top..and I placed the line of glitter using glitter from Milani-Gems..I specifically picked out the green and silver glitters for all my fingers except the pointer finger..


And then for the line of glitter on my pointer finger I specifically picked out the silver and red glitter...


Voila!

Oh and by the way...this is the first time I'm doing a "scheduled" post...but when this is posted..I'll be on a plane to Hong Kong!! ^_^ so excited~~ should be fun! I already have another mani idea in the works its simple but hopefully I can get it up in a timely fashion...hope everyone is having a great summer so far!
