ABC Nail Challenge: Q is for Queen of Beauty

Hey Everyone! So we're already on the letter Q in the ABC Nail Challenge I've been participating in. I can't believe we only have 9 weeks (letters) left of this challenge, I don't want it to end! Anyway for this week I used Queen of Beauty by Sinful Colors.

I knew the letter Q was going to be a challenge, at least for me anyway. I don't know of any nail art associated with Q and I'm not that creative too come up with something else. So I looked through my collection and found only one color that began with Q. Queen of Beauty  is a silver glitter topcoat. I call it a topcoat because the glitter is pretty sparse but you can use it alone like I did on my accent nail, it just takes a few coats.

I thought this color would look nice with a really pale pink so I used one of those pinks that come in a french manicure set. Normally you would only use one coat if you were going for the traditional french mani but I used 3 to make it more opaque. Then I used NYC Matte Me Crazy over the pink, I thought the matte finish might give a nice contrast since the glitter is so shiny. I know it's hard to see in the pictures.

As you can see I used Queen of Beauty on the tips except for my accent nail, that is 3 coats of just Queen of Beauty.  Instead of using the brush from the bottle I used a flat nail art brush and I think it helped in spreading the glitter evenly. You guys know how this kind of glitter is hard to work with sometimes.  

Unfortunately this mani only lasted 4 hours because the pink polish started to chip and dent. That's the one thing I don't like about using matte top coats, they don't last as long. They need to come out with a matte no-chip top coat, that would be genius! I'm going to go check out what everyone else did this week :)

ABC Nail Challenge: P is for Polka Dots!

This week for the ABC Nail Challenge I choose polka dots for the letter P. I know, it's not too original but there are so many different looks you can create with a few dotting tools.

Going along with the "P" theme I used Scandal  by Sinful Colors (one of my favorite pinks) and Popular by Revlon on my accent nail. You can't really tell in the picture but Popular has both silver micro and hex glitter which makes this such a pretty color. I know a lot of other beauty bloggers love it too.

I didn't have a set look I wanted to achieve so I just began dotting small and large dots on the sides of my nails. I didn't want to do the usual straight dots across, I wanted something a little different.

I haven't done a polka dot mani in a long time so it was fun and I like how they turned out. What are your thoughts on polka dot nails, do you like them or no?

ABC Nail Challenge: O is for Ombre

Hey everyone! We're on the letter O in the ABC Nail Challenge this week, (already)!  This week has been a crazy one for me, so much that I knew I wouldn't have time to do my nails or at least with the effort I would want. I remembered an ombre manicure I did recently and figured I would post those pictures instead of skipping out totally this week.

Savage and Scandal by Sinful Colors are such pretty colors alone and I really like how they look together. The more I look at these pictures they remind me of the summer, the beach and cotton candy!

This was my first go at ombre nail art so I played it safe with two colors but I want to try it again soon with three or four. It's a fun look and easy to do even though it was more of last years trend, I don't care. I'm looking forward to next week and coming up with something fun for the letter P. You should definitely check out the looks from the other participants in this challenge :)
