Kimber's Mish Mash Challenge - Week 2 - Taping

***Post is pic heavy ***

Hi everyone, as you know we are in the second week of Kimber's Mish Mash Challenge. This week is taping.  Here is a list of the weeks to come.. 

A lot of fun, so make sure that you stick around and check out all the awesome nail art from myself & all the other way more talented ladies in the challenge.

On to  my challenge mani.  

I did a pink and silver sponged gradient. I randomly sponged the sliver over the pink.  The colors are both Sinful Colors, the pink is 24/7, a bright neon pink creme that dries to a matte finish like most other neons. The application was very nice and the color gives a loud pop. & the silver is from a new collection I found at Rite Aid.  Was it Opening Night?  I can't seem to remember, I was to in awe of of the new Sally Hansen Sugar coats that was right above the display.

Anyway, the name of the silver is Silver Screen. Silver Screen is not a silver, silver, it is kind of a blackened silver IMO anyway.  As usual, application was great. A wonderful metallic-y shimmer that my collection needed =)

I used my striping tape and randomly placed lines across my nails. I then topped it with LA Girls 3-D Effects in Black Illusion - A scattered holo.  

Here is a few pictured of just 24/7 & Silver Screen before

This one has top coat. 

Now, on to the pics with Black Illusion and the taping done..

So, that is my taping mani for the Mish Mash Challenge.  Please be sure to check everyone else's manis out as well.. 

Kimber's Mish Mash Challenge Week 1 - Purple

Good afternoon everyone.  Since starting this blog I had wanted to participate in a challenge but not a "You have to participate challenge" & not one that was every week, although Lord know I do my nails enough to be able to. Anyway, Kimber  from Kimber's Lacque Korner has some amazing challenges along with some other equally amazing ladies.
I will get right on to what I did, I hope you will check out the rest of the lovely ladies participating as well at the bottom of my post.  But first, if you'd like to follow what will be going on with this challeng, please check out the schedule below..

So now on to the challenge mani.

I did purple, on purple, on purple. =)

I used Sinful Colors - Lavander as my base color.  I then used a fan brush and applied one color at a time. I placed a small bit of each polish on a paper plate and just lightly put the tips of my fan brush into each color.  It only made sense to do all my nails with the first, & so on.  I also cleaned my brush in acetone every few strokes.

The first color was Pure Ice - No means No which is a dark purple metallic like with a bluish shift. I then went over it a second time with Color Club - Eternal Beauty. Color Club's beautiful holo purple. And then, as if the holo just wasn't enough I added a few strokes of Pure Ice - Cheatin to the mix.  

The outcome is what you see below.

Tried getting direct sunlight, but it is mostly cloudy today.

The sun managed to peek out long enough.
