Nudes are the perfect polish to have on your tips! I did a two tone mani with some shimmery polka dots down the center. To get this look I used Essie polish in Sand Tropez, Zoya's Pandora and the dots are Orly's Rage. I started with a day old mani of just the Pandora and to play it up and make it different I taped down the center and painted half the nail with Sand Tropez. Then using a medium dotting tool I dotted Rage down the center. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I hope you all like this mani!! Let me know what I should name it! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">~Much love and glitter ~ Melissa~</div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08468147599655652161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750225775791566099.post-86600213643955202192011-07-12T06:34:00.001-04:002011-07-12T06:37:55.852-04:00July 2011 Birch Box<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WeDx0B3-pRE/ThwiAzhJKQI/AAAAAAAAAKw/SmFOk_gZKPU/s1600/July+BB+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WeDx0B3-pRE/ThwiAzhJKQI/AAAAAAAAAKw/SmFOk_gZKPU/s320/July+BB+001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>This is a preview post of my July 2011 special Cynthia Rowley BirchBox goodies!!

I wanted to share with you my experience with the Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail "stickers" (as I call them). I purchased them in hopes of using them as accent nail pieces. This was rather successful the first go around. However, when I reached for them this morning I discovered that once you open one part of the package it is best to use them all or they dry up and will not stick to your finger nails. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I ended up using one "sticker" for two nails on most of my nails. This worked out rather well, so I was able to get a whole manicure out of the box even though i wasted several due to being dried up...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Great concept!! I love how you can just put them on (rather easily if you are semi careful) and go. No dry time made them an exceptional choice for me this AM before work. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now on to the disapointment... I think the pattern I picked out for me was not suited for me. LOL. Lets just say I thought I was looking at BandAids on my nails all day long... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IrF0f02idho/Tfq4jyzCu6I/AAAAAAAAAG0/zVtvxXCggxM/s1600/butterfly+nails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239px" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IrF0f02idho/Tfq4jyzCu6I/AAAAAAAAAG0/zVtvxXCggxM/s320/butterfly+nails.jpg" t8="true" width="320px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Excuse my car logo... I took this while I was waiting for someone to let me in at work this morning :D</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So this obviously isnt my favorite pattern. It was adorable as an accent nail with a corresponding color on the other nails. But for a whole mani... not so much. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lesson learned spend the $8.50 on a bottle of OPI or China Glaze. :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Everyone have a wonderful day!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Until next time, much glitter and glam!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">~Melissa</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08468147599655652161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750225775791566099.post-48304510489847222992011-06-15T06:21:00.000-04:002011-06-15T06:21:52.296-04:00wow all these giveaways!!Ok so I know I have been posting giveaways from other bloggers lately and nothing by me...

I thought I would do a simple French tip mani for today, but I couldnt just do white tips! I had to add a spark to them, so I chose to add the Northern Lights holographic top coat. I hope you like it!!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The products I used are: Beauty Secrets base coat, Orly French Tip White Tips, Kiss Nail Art paints Silver, Northern Lights Hologram Top Coat silver and Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Strengthening topcoat. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xhuFbNoygns/TcaXZ0uSjOI/AAAAAAAAAGs/ewqD5GnpDBY/s1600/IMAG0289.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="191" j8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xhuFbNoygns/TcaXZ0uSjOI/AAAAAAAAAGs/ewqD5GnpDBY/s320/IMAG0289.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" style="text-align: left;">I start off with the base coat then add the Northern Lights as my "pink", since I like my nailbeds pink color, I dont use a French pink. I then freehand my white tips and add a silver line at the base of the white for a more finished look (seeing as I can not get a perfect straight tip lol) Then finish off with SH topcoat for shine. :) and here is the finished mani!</div><div align="left" style="text-align: left;"><br />
