Black and White and Red All Over... ♥

Happy Thursday! We are creeping closer to the weekend and that makes me a happy woman! 

I have some fun nail art to show you today. I had been wanting to do a red, black and white mani for a while but everything I tried didn't turn out like I wanted it to. I was playing around last night and came up with this and I love it!

I used Cult Nails Annalicious as my base - once that was dry I sponged white, very carefully, over that and let it dry. I then used striping tape and a plain black creme to create the stripes.  I used Lynnderella Connect the Dots on my accent nails. All topped off with one coat of Poshe.

I hope you enjoyed this mani! I am loving it today!


Thanks for reading and happy polishing! ♥

31 Day Challenge Day Seven - Black & White

Hello lovelies! The 31 Day Challenge resumes with black and white nails! I am really excited about the "nail art" I have to show you today.

Black and White Manicure

For this mani I started out applying my black and white in the checkerboard pattern (I have done this design before - you can see it here). After that dried I decided I wanted to jazz it up a little bit so I added dots in Orly Decoded and Milani Rapid Cherry using dotting tools.

Dandy Nails Like Disco Lemonade Gradient!

Dandy Nails is restocking tomorrow (August 1st) and to celebrate I have TWO Dandy Nails posts. One tonight and one in the morning! The one for tomorrow is my favorite but I love them both.

Dandy Nails Like Disco Lemonade over Catrice Forget-Me-Not

For this mani I used Like Disco Lemonade over Catrice Forget-Me-Not (I will have a post on that soon) which is a warm-toned deep purple foil. I applied it as a gradient on all fingers except for my ring finger, where I did a full nail accent.

The Ultimate Black and White Glitter Guide

I usually don't create blog posts just to share someone else's blog post (I usually share them on Facebook and Twitter) but this one is so informative that I thought everyone should see it.

My friend Sarah at Chalkboard Nails has an obsession with black and white glitter and has created a comparison post with 20 of them! Click here to be taken directly to her post.

As a teaser here is one of the photos from her post:
