Happy Mother's Day!

Nothing to Disclose

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, fur moms, honorary moms, grandmas and aunts out there! I just wanted to drop off a quick post showing the manicure I did on my mom's nails for today. 




My mom loves butterflies and I had been wanting to try this for awhile so I decided to do it today! I'm pretty happy with how they turned out for my first try, especially since they were on someone else. (I am better at nail in general on my own hands instead of someone else's.)  I used Adventures in Acetone's tutorial for help with the butterfly wings!

I used several colors for the base (I didn't use the Saran Wrap method for my base; I just sort of stippled random colors over my base until I got the look I wanted). I will list the colors I used below.

Dior Samba 402 (my base)
China Glaze Aquadelic
Dance Legend My Wave 821
Kiko 387
Milani Peacock
Milani Creamy Pistachio
Wet 'n' Wild Black Creme
China Glaze Don't Be a Luna-Tic (dots)

Thanks for reading and happy polishing! ♥

Lacquer Legion: Glam

Nothing to Disclose

Good morning! I have a major toothache and impending dentist appointment this afternoon because of it. I don't have a fear of the dentist but I'm certainly not looking forward to it either! LOL With all that I'm glad I have something pretty on my nails today! I went with a simple, but glamorous, look for #LLGlam today!



For this look I used a base of a plain black creme on all nails. On all nails except my accent nail I made the lines using a striping brush and Darling Diva Polish Dreamy. On my accent nail I put a generous (but not opaque) coat of Nicole by OPI Make a Comet-ment and then drew my lines in the opposite direction using black. It was simple but I really like it! It's so much prettier in person!


Don't forget to follow the Lacquer Legion at the links below and share your manis using hashtag #LLGlam today!


Thanks for reading and happy polishing!  ♥
