Peachy Bitch

I saw these cute nails by Carli Bybel a couple of months ago and I'm just not getting around to recreating them! You can find her on Instagram @carlibel or on her blog - www.thefashionbybel.com. She also has a YouTube channel that is fantastic! 

I started with a base of China Glaze's Peachy Keen. Then using a white acrylic paint and a thin nail art brush, I traced around the corners. I applied a top coat of Seche Vite. Using super glue, I applied the "Bitch" charm by Hex Nail Jewelry. All done!

Glitter and Vines

So these didn't turn out quite like I expected. My silver glitter was fairly translucent and I was hoping it would be opaque. It doesn't show up in the pics very well, but I promise it's there! 

For a base on all but the ring fingers, I used Zoya's Dove, then topped it with China Glaze Fairy Dust. On the ring fingers I used Nailtini Fable Fizz. When those were dry, I used Shany stamping plate SH18 and Essie's Blanc (ring fingers) and Essie's Licorice (all the rest) to stamp a vine-like image. I finished with a top coat of Seche Vite.

I think if I redid this mani, I'd use a Zoya PixieDust rather than the gray polish+the China Glaze glitter. The PixieDust is opaque by itself and always comes out gorgeous!

Zebra Toes!

I decided, after having the same color on my toenails for the past 3 months (at least!) that I would switch it up! Ha! I started by painting all toes, except #4, with Robyn from Zoya. On toe #4, I used Highlight of My Summer by China Glaze. Then using a black nail striper from Shany Cosmetics, I drew zebra stripes on a diagonal. I finished with a top coat and that was that! Now, these will hopefully not be on 3 months from now, but I'm not making any promises ;)
