Pink Wedneday: Lollipop with Busted

It's another Wednesday! My poor computer got a cruddy virus late last night but thankfully I have a really talented IT guy for a brother so he was able to get it back into functioning order in just one day! Woohoo! So, here's Pink Wedneday!

Busted over Lollipop

These two colors together remind me of Miss Piggy. And the 80's. And Everything's Fine! I love them together! This was 3 coats of LA Color Lollipop and one layer of Pure Ice's Busted. Pretty Pretty!

Pink Wednesday: Pink and Glass Slipper

I am so excited about finally finding Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength in Glass Slipper. It is such a pretty flakie!  Thankfully I had a giftcard to Walmart so I was able to pick it up today! Love love love it!

It's very understated in the photo...but awesome. I used 3 coats of LA Colors Lollipop (found at any dollar store for $1) and then topped it with lovely Glass Slipper. Pretty pretty!

Inspired By: Holiday Patchwork

I wasn't thrilled with my first Scotch tape patchwork manicure--but I like this one! It LOOKS complicated, but it's not. There are two tricks to working with tape (I just use a no name brand): 1) Always let your layers dry all the way before taping and 2) always stick the tape on the inside of your hand a few times to get rid of the mega-stickiness.

The Holiday Patchwork Manicure

I did two layers of Wet N' Wild Fast Dry in Everybody Loves Redmond. I love this polish! It goes on so well and not a single brush stroke. Once that was dry I taped off and used the fabulous Super Star white by Pure Ice. Last, I did the bottom of my nails using LA Craze silver glitter. Wet N' Wild Fast Dry can be found at almost any CVS, Dollar General or Walmart for about $2. Pure Ice is $2 at Walmart. LA Craze can be purchased at Family Dollar, Dollar General or even Dollar Tree for $1! Fun!

Inspired By: Holiday French Glitter

I like the simplicity of this french manicure done with a glitter polish. Simple, but with a punch.

Glitter polish is so tricky. Either it looks well placed or just terrible. This wasn't so bad. I used that same "swamp green" from yesterday's manicure (also known as Confetti's My Favorite Martian). This was about a million coats. I did the base coat and then took my glitter polish and just made sort of a sloppy French manicure style strip on the tip of my nails. I let that dry and then went back very lightly about 3/4 of the way down my nail.  Here's what I used:
