NOTD- Skittle IKAT Mani

Hello lovers! Today I am very excited to show you a mani I think I'll be sporting more often.

Neon Skittle IKATs!

It looks complicated but thanks to the power of the interwebs, there are plenty of amazing tutorials available.

The one I saw was tweeted by Rie at Nails and Noms--> here

Somehow it's a lot simpler than I had imagined! YAY!!

So I took a quick look at it, and gave it my own spin. 

To achieve the above look, I used the following:

Base:

OPI- Skulls & Glossbones 

Skittle accents:

Color Club- Feelin Groovy, Wild Child, Electro Candy

China Glaze- Flying Dragon (!!)

NYC- Times Square

and black acrylic paint for the black outline.

I am really in love with this....

Like the Paisley print, there are so many variations of the print you can go with....so again!

The possibilities are endless 

I didn't have to do much clean up with this mani....which is always a plus!

I'll definitely be RAWKING this again sometime!

Have a wonderful day, my beautifuls!

I came upon Tutorial Tuesday on Briana's blog post!! What a coincident!!

NOTD- Free Hand Paisley

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Today I have a very detailed mani to show you- Paisley Print nails.
I've had this in my "idea book" for a while now...it's something I've always wanted to try but was too scared to...
But who knew! Here I am today writing a post about it! :D

What is paisley? You know those print you see on bandanas? That's it!

(source: google)

They also look like really pretty amoebas....haha

(source: google)

Anyhoo, this mani didn't take as long as I expected it to be...so that's always a bonus!

Here's what I used as base:

Color Club- Age of Aquarius

NYC- Times Square

I bought Times Square a long time ago and I'm so glad I finally got to use it.

I will definitely be doing more paisley inspired variations! The possibilities are endless with this print!

.

That's all for me today, hope you enjoyed this mani as much as I enjoyed doing it.

Have a FANTABULOUS weekend, my loves!!

RAWR Shop- Multi Neon Tips "Hee-Hee"

Happy Thursday, loverlies.

Today at the RAWR Shop, we have a multi-tip mani. Dani always come up with the best ideas! 

Dani named this one "Hee-Hee" because that's all she does when she looks at them! HAHA

There are tons of looks you can achieve with neon and grey/beige. 

Check out DrinkCitra's awesome manis here, here, and here.

To achieve this look, we used the following polishes:

Daisy Nail Lacquer- Sun! Glasses Please.

OPI- Skull & Glossbones

Color Club- Warhol

How come there's sight of any neon pink in this mani? Well....here it is!!

We painted the underside a neon pink. Dani says it makes her happy with she sees the pink :)

YAY!

Have a great day my loves!!

NOTD- Lines Lines Lines

Happy hump day, lovers and friends!!

I have a short post for you today...lines, lines and more lines!

I used Color Club's Age of Aquarius, NYC's Peaches n' Cream, and Urban Outfitter's Bandeau.

Then I dabbed on the sparkly dots with Color Club's Under the Mistletoe

That is all!

Short and stubby.

Two more days 'til the weekend!!

RAWR Shop- Holo Gradient

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

Today we're taking a break from our regular programming to present to you- FUN FRIDAY!

(it starts with F...so it works....right?)

I'm sure you already know whose hands these are. The one and only- Call It Beauty!

Every time she comes over, we always end up spending hours on end on her nails...but today was a quick one.

We used Color Club- Fashion Addict: a lilac holographic polish, and a rich purple Sinful Colors- Let's Talk.

But of course, you cannot wear holo on your nails and NOT play in the sun! 

So while shouting off the top of our lungs to Spice Girls this happened:

Never a dull moment with Dani @ Call It Beauty! I'm so glad I have a friend I can be silly with <3

Here a final shot of the mani. Enjoy.

Thanks to CTV's Steele On Your Side, I got my money back!!

I won't get too much into the details, but if you want more info...check out the full story: here

hehe, it got some attention :)


Anyway...enjoy the weekend!
Hope there's sunshine wherever you are :D

RAWR Shop- Ultimate Star Wars Nails

Hi guys!!

Today I am very excited to show you the mani I did at The RAWR Shop

This is Donna's second visit. We wanted to do something completely crazy this time...

She mentioned that she is currently into Star Wars: The Old Republic, so I thought....Let's do Star Wars nails!!

...now...

My knowledge of Star Wars goes as far as lightsabers and R2D2....

So I studied hard, and with the help of expert Donna, we achieved this awesome-tastic mani!

Basically, this is split into two empires....

The Imperials (bad guys) and Republic (good guys)

"But Winnie...who is who?!" You ask. Fear not, my loves! Read on!!

The Imperials include: Droids, Siths,Storm Troopers...

Republics: Wookies, Jedi's, R2D2

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Donna has the cutest nails.

Putting this much detail on a tiny nail was not easy...but MAN! Do they ever look good.

Here are some of my personal favourites....

That's it for me today!!

Hope you enjoyed this Star Wars mani :)

Thanks for letting me put these on you, Donna!! Come back soon!!!

Have a great day, lovelies!!

All Wrapped Up

Happy hump day, lovely people of the world!!

Today I have a summer mani for you.

For this mani, I used the following:

China Glaze- For Audrey

NYC- Peaches N' Cream

First, I wrapped the For Audrey filled claws with Peaches N' Cream

NYC polishes come with great brushes, they're perfect for drawing blunt lines like this!

This distinctive peachy creme colour is packed with sophisticated fun! 

It is the perfect colour for summer, in my opinion.

I've been having a heck of a time trying to draw thinner lines...then it dawned on me that maybe I should trim down my brush....gee it only took me forever to figure this out....

-___-

You can see the difference immediately between the two brushes!

Now I just have to work on drawing cleaner, and straighter lines.....YAY!!!!

Hope you enjoyed this mani as much as I did doing it!
