Stained Glass Nail Art

*Some Press Samples Used*

Hi everyone! Today I have my first attempt at doing colored jellies over a holo base. I've wanted to do this after seeing these fabulous manis from my pals Emily from Very Emily and Valesha from Peachy Polish (I miss seeing both of their posts so much!).  I don't think mine was quite as amazing as theirs, but it's an OK first attempt. Basically, you achieve this look by applying a silver glitter base and then randomly blobbing colored jelly polishes on top to create a sort of "stained glass" look. Then you finish off with some intricate black stamping. It was easy to do...just give it a try! The most difficult part is waiting for the layers to dry before stamping! I was glad to finish off the design using a collaboration plate from yet another one of my Paint All the Nails! buddies, Lucie from Lucy's Stash!

Misa Eye Candy

Hi everyone! I'm planning on wearing some lovely reds this February since it is the month of love. Today I have an amazing red from Misa that looks fantastic with or without topcoat. Misa Eye Candy is a recent release and it has a rubbery matte finish that looks nice, but with a little topcoat the glowy shimmer comes to life. I definitely prefer it with topcoat, but it looks nice either way. The formula was nice and opaque, barely requiring a second coat. This polish is a must have for red lovers.

With topcoat

Without topcoat

Misa polishes are available from their website. I purchased mine from Nailsupplies.us. Thanks for looking everyone!

Some Red, White, and Blue Manis!

Happy Independence Day to all of you from the US! It is also my husbands birthday today so we are having some friends over later for grilling, drinks, and CAKE! Yay!

I did a few different red, white, and blue manis this week, so I thought I would share them all with you.

First up is my mani for today. It is Hare Polish Leap-Light Year with Star Tropics accent nails. This mani is so juicy looking. It is so fun and festive for the 4th.

Up next I did 1 coat of LA Girl Glitter Addict Celebrate over Misa Pour Me Something Tall and Strong. The Misa is a squishy blue jelly that I would recommend to anyone who is on the search for such a polish. Celebrate does have a few pink hexes in it, but overall it still looks patriotic I think.

Next we have a red and white mani that I wore on Monday as a shout out to my Canadian friends on Canada Day. This is Cult Nails Evil Queen with 1 coat of OPI Pirouette My Whistle and 1 coat ove Nubar white polka dots on top.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July!! Thanks for looking!
