Teal Tuesday: Stripes

This Teal Tuesday's theme is Stripes!!! I decided to use my favorite color combination: lime and teal! I started with one coat of Essence Color n Go in Lime Up!


Then I used a striping brush and Sinful Colors Rise and Shine. I didn't want to do the same thing on every nail because I thought it'd be boring...and that I wouldn't be able to match them super well.




The thumb is my favorite!

Monday Mani - Pet in the Picture

So I haven't done a PAA mani in forever. I always get caught up on Sunday nights trying to get ready for class the next day. But it's currently Spring Break and I knew what I wanted to do for this mani when the theme was announced. I LOVE animals, especially my pets. Each one of our dogs has had a color assigned to them for all their accessories. When we first got our Pit Bull Finny, his color was blue to match his eyes. He was kinda creepy looking. But now his eyes are green and I've changed his color accordingly. I chose Zoya Ivanka (two coats) to coordinate with Phineas. He was not the most cooperative subject...






Samson (our other dog) refused to cooperate, but also didn't like all the attention Phineas was getting. Sam is the blur on the left side pushing my hand away from Finn.






He's adorable. I tried to paint his nails for this, but he wouldn't let me :(

Spring PCFC Day 15: Mr. Blue Sky

I went to remove my pastel skittles and decided to leave the blue one to use for my sky. But then I realized I had another blue in my untrieds! I decided to leave China Glaze Kinetic Candy on my ring finger, and then used one coat of Zoya Breezi on each of the other nails. All these one coaters I've been using are seriously spoiling me. 


After the base color dried, I used NYC French Tip White and the larger side of each of my dotting tools to make the clouds. They're just so whimsy! Every time I glance at them, it makes me smile :)



The thumb is my favorite. I think just because there's so much nail to work with lol.

Spring PCFC Day 14: Pastel Skittle

I LOVE skittle manis. It's a great way to wear as many nail polishes as possible. I decided to do a rainbow color scheme because rainbows are awesome. 

This is two coats of China Glaze Peachy Keen and once coat each of China Glaze Lemon Fizz, Re-Fresh Mint, Kinetic Candy, and Sweet Hook




I love this so much! It reminds me of Easter!
