Purple Panic... Dotted

I love neon manicures.  I however do not like a solid color manicure.  I always want to add something to it to jazz it up.  I started out with China Glaze's Purple Panic.  On that note, why do they call it that?  It looks pink to me.  It has a purple/fuchsia flash that makes it lean toward purple. Nevertheless, it is an awesome color.  I then took a dotting tool with black acrylic paint and did random dots.  I then put white dots on top.  They look like perfect bubbles to me.  I had a few coworkers actually think I did stickers for these!  The best part is that the right hand looks just as good.

Sparkly dots!

China Glaze Riveting with an easy dot mani using L.A. Girls Groupie. It is a gorgeous royal purple sparkle polish. Need to wear it on its own soon. Royal purple and neon orange are my two favorite colors. Here they are together in a super simple way. If you don't have a Dotting tool, try a toothpick, a bobby pin, a needle head, a defunct pen... anything! Have at it! Dot to your hearts content.

China Glaze Riveting

Got a whopping 30 seconds of sun in between all the rain. Snapped a couple of quick photos of China Glaze Riveting by itself. It is an awesome color. Super shiny. This is three coats. It shows a little visible nail line, but this time, I don't mind.

Candy Wave

I bought China Glaze Riveting the other day. It is gorgeous, sparkly, and orange. I was admiring the glass flecked finish and figured that it went well with some other CGs that I own. I grabbed 108 Degrees, Senorita Bonita, and Blue Iguana and painted them on top in a wavy, non perfect way. The colors make a perfect gradient, and then the blue makes a pop on the tips. They are flashy and I love them. I will definetly be using these colors together again.

Christmas/Winter Snowman

Here is a fun mani for Christmas. Background is China Glaze snow globe, the snowman and christmas trees are acrylic paints.

Tiger stripes and fun colors

Fun bright nails that are easy!  For these I used the China Glaze Tronica polishes.  Start with a silver base and then just dab on the other colors.  Then do a tiger stripe with a black striper or a small brush. The great thing about the Tronica polishes is that they dry pretty flat on top of each other. I didn't get a green or a yellow so I substituted something shimmery to fit in.

Blue & Black on Green splatter

Splatter manicures are fun and easy.  You should try one sometime! Paint your base and then pick a coordinating color or two.  Drop some of the polish on a sheet of plastic or paint pallette and dip a straw in it.  Then blow the polish onto your nail.

I started with a base of China Glaze Cha Cha Cha, then splattered on a black cream and China Glaze Frostbite for the blue.

Easy sponge nail art with Snow Globe

Here is another simple nail art. Base coat, sponge on some fun colors, and cover with glitter!  I used China Glaze Snow Globe for the iridescent glitter top coat.
