Color Club

The One With the Color Club Dot Manicure

9:00:00 AM


Good morning polished world!  How are you all doing today??  I forgot to post yesterday because Memorial Day completely threw me off.  I really thought today was Tuesday, and yesterday was Monday.  It was even more confusing to me because my three day weekend ended up being an odd two day one since I had to work partially on Sunday.  Sigh.  One day I'll have a three-day weekend.

Well since I have sat binge watching Arrested Development, I haven't had time to edit photos, which I really need to get around to.  Therefore I'm posting this old dot manicure, which I have done numerous times before.  Actually going back through the blog, I did this exact manicure last year with the same colors.  Reason being, they're my favorite colors and it's one of my go-to easy designs when I'm completely exhausted.

Let's take a look!


Colors Used:
  • Color Club - Blue-Ming
  • Color Club - Pucci-licious
  • OPI - This Crown Needs a Gown
Love this color combo, love these polishes, just love everything about it.  That would explain why I re-did the exact manicure without even remembering it.  Seriously, I had no idea I did this manicure until I searched the Color Club tag on the blog and stumbled upon it.  Does that mean I've done too many manicures that I can't remember what I have already done?

What do you think?  Like these colors and dot mani?

Until next time, <3.


FingerPaints

The One With Another Floral Manicure

9:00:00 AM


Good morning polished world!  How are you all doing on this Friday?  It's almost time for the weekend.  I'm excited, tomorrow I'm going to Painting With a Twist for my friend's birthday!  It's going to be a fun sunflower painting.  My first time I went, the painting turned out really well and I absolutely loved it.  Who knows, maybe because it's a floral design, I'll rock it.  You know me and my love for florals.  I'll post a picture on Instagram if it turns out well!

Today's design is, can you guess, a floral one!!!!!  Sure it's not sunflowers, but it's one of my last spring time floral designs before I start getting into my summer florals!  Daisies, sunflowers, little forget-me-nots.  Ahhh how I love the summer floral season.  Do florals even have a season or is it just a year round thing?  hmmm....

Let's take a look!


Colors Used:
  • FingerPaints - Party Teal Dawn
  • Zoya - Tomoko
I'm going to stop listing the white polish I used in my posts.  If I don't list it, it's a safe bet that it's ORLY White Tips.  If I'm doing a review of white, then I'll for sure share it, but I think it's getting annoying listing my same polish over and over again.  Probably should only list the polish I'm holding.....

Anyways, I love Party Teal Dawn.  Older polish of mine but still works like I just got it yesterday.  Two coats and full coverage.  Gosh I miss FingerPaints.  I used to get their PR packages, then they just stopped coming, and I haven't had any time to get to Sally Beauty so I really have forgotten about them.  Shame too, because they are one of my favorite brands.

What do you think?  Fan of this polish?  Fan of this manicure?

Until next time, <3.


China Glaze

The One With the Random Blue Triangle Manicure

9:00:00 AM


Morning my polished peeps.  How are you all doing on this wonderful Tuesday?  Look at me, posting right on time.  Okay, I'm a day or so early, but you know I have about 8 posts to share with you and have been slacking like crazy.  And let's face it, come the end of the week, I'm going to forget to post again.  Maybe if I set reminders in my phone or something.  You know what I really need reminders for are my Instagram and Facebook page.  Poor Facebook hasn't been updated in I don't know how long.....sigh

Today's design is one that looked better in my head than it did on the nail.  I'm still rocking that glitter middle accent nail due to the nail injury.  My injury is right at the edge now and I'm worried I'm going to lose that part of my nail.  I've been patching it using the tea bag method and hoping it stays on until it grows out.  Enter in the nub nails and and super thick odd paint jobs.

Anyways, as I said, this design looked more abstract and better in my head than it did on the nail.

Let's take a look....


Colors Used:
  • China Glaze - Capacity to See Beyond
  • Finger Paints - Sterling Sculpture
I can't remember what grey polish I used for the grey triangles, but meh, I don't think anyone will try to re-create this one because it is one of those meh manicures.  Only think that is saving it is the lovely Capacity to See Beyond.  I guess I have that name is fitting for this manicure because I was capable of seeing beyond the horribleness of the design and saw the gorgeous blue polish. That's the cheesiest line I've ever written on this blog.....

What do you think of this design?  Something you don't hate?

Until next time, <3.


Dot Mani

The One With the Sally Hansen Peach Dot Flowers

9:00:00 AM


Good morning polished world! How are you all doing today?  I am failing when it comes to blogging.  I swear I'm going to get better next month.  Tomorrow evening I'm going to sit down, prepublish all my posts to the end of the month and beyond, and just keep moving forward.  When I sat down last night and realized I had 8 manicures to post,  I realized how badly I've been slacking.  Oh well, that just means more content throughout the year.

Today's manicure is a simple dot floral manicure.  Been forever since I had done a dot manicure, and honestly this one wasn't one of my favorites.  I felt like there was a lot of naked space around the dot flowers, so I kind of got crazy with the silver dots and that made me not so happy.  Like it took away from the design.  I have to start learning that blank space is a good thing.

Let's take a look.


Colors Used:
  • Sally Hansen - Peach Buzz
  • Sally Hansen - White on White
  • Serendipity Polish - Holoday Lights
While not one of my favorite manicures, but definitely in love with Peach Buzz from Sally Hansen.  Two coats and full coverage.  This polish has a subtle peach shimmer mixed in with the cream that really gives the polish some dimension.  Works great for the nail art and dot flowers.

What do you think?  Like this design? Fan of this color?

Until next time, <3.
