OMD 31 Day Challenge - Day 13 - Stars

It's Saturday! Woohoo!

Today is Day 13 - Stars of the OMD 31 Day Challenge. But before we get to that I have a polish I'd like to give a little love to. China Glaze Midtown Magic is my favorite polish I have!! I've yet to feature it here on the blog so I thought I should give it a little bit of special mention! It's a blackened burgundy base with loads of gorgeous gold shimmer in it. The shimmer changes color to bronzy-red through the base. I love this polish!! It looks black but with some awesome dimension!

Yummy! Look at that shimmer!!

Anyways for the star day of the challenge I've used two coats of Midtown Magic as my base and stamped over it using Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Silver Sweep. I love these two as a stamping combination...I've used them together several times.

On my thumb and pinky I've stamped the evenly spaced star design from Cheeky 4. On my pointer and middle finger I've used the randomly spaced and sized star design from Cheeky 5. On my ring finger I used the tiny UFO's from Cheeky 4 and a few of the individual star designs and the diamond shaped stars from Bundle Monster 311.

First Saran Wrap Manicure

Good morning!!

I must admit I've always admired saran wrap manicures that I've seen around the blogosphere. I finally decided to give it a try myself, and I love it! It's such an easy way to make an interesting manicure and you don't have to worry about things not lining up perfectly or stamping perfectly or being anything perfectly and it's supposed to look that way!

I decided to go with two sort of similar colors so that if I didn't like it the mani wouldn't be too garish to wear for the rest of the day. As a base I used 2 coats of China Glaze Sea Spray. Once that was dry I painted on a thick coat of Pure Ice Risk Taker and then daubed the saran wrap on the top to pick up a bit of the top color and reveal Sea Spray underneath. These nails remind me of marble, I should do a white and Risk Taker saran wrap manicure, that would definitely look like I had tiny slabs of marble on my fingers!

Monday...boooo :( Luckily it's almost over. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Just a quick post today since it's so late. It's almost my bedtime! Today I have some blue and silver stripes. These nails really reminded me of cheerleader nails, I wanted to grab a pompom and fling it around with these nails!

On every finger except my ringer finger I started with three coats of OPI Your Royal Shinie-ness. I then put a strip of striping tape near the tips of my nails and painted a coat of China Glaze Want My Bawdy over the top and then pulled off the striping tape to reveal Your Royal Shinie-ness. I reversed the colors on my accent finger, I used two coats of Want My Bawdy as the base for the accent and covered the striping tape with Your Royal Shinie-ness.
