Black and Pink Wednesday

Happy Pink Wednesday!  I don't know why it took me so long to get around to posting a pic of Zoya Kimber, but here she is.  I love the intense sparkle in this gorgeous shade of pink!  I used black stamping polish from Born Pretty Store and Bundle Monster plate BM-322 for the design and then added a stripe of black up the side of each nail.  I love how this one turned out!

A Pink Wednesday Dotticure

I realize I have missed a few Summer Challenge posts, including yesterday and today; but I haven't dropped out!  I haven't been felling well lately so I have pretty much just been working or sleeping for the past several days.  I'm starting to feel a bit better now though so maybe I can get back on track!  At any rate, it has been way too long since I have done a Pink Wednesday post, so I though now was the time.  This one is fairly simple, base of Zoya Reagan on all except the accent nail which has a base of China Glaze Dance Baby.  I then used those same two colors for the dots on the alternate base color followed by NYC as a topcoat.

Hot Pink Freestyle

 The theme for today for the Purple Crumpet Fairy Summer Challenge is Hot Pink - Freestyle.  I had kind of a hard time with this one because while I do love pink, HOT pink is a bit out of my comfort zone.  That said, I am really happy with how these turned out though they took FOREVER!  Tips are Color Club Warhol.

What do you think?  Be sure and check out the other participant's blogs too and see what they came up with for today!

Shrimply Devine Pink Wednesday!

I'm really excited about today's Pink Wednesday for a couple of reasons.  1. It's PINK, 2. There is glitter.  The glitter craze is sort of growing on me with the sudden boom of all these colorful and amazing indie polishes hitting the market.  I have been snapping them up when I am able to and have quite the little collection going.  I keep thinking I am going to find the time to go through them by brand but that isn't working very well...

Anyway, today I finally decided to try one of the indies I own from All That Glitters on Etsy.  I have several of her polishes and a few more on the way and I love all of them!  So for today's pink Wednesday I layered Spotty Dottie Dark over Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Shrimply Devine.  LOVE it!  I had a tough time with Shrimply Devine and wound up needing three coats for full coverage but it was worth it for that slightly coral hot pink.  I added a coat of SDD and then a coat of Seche Vite.

Gorgeous isn't it?  See how dark that bottle is?  That is because it is PACKED with glitter!  The base is perfectly clear and it is a very easy to use glitter.  This one is currently out of stock but there are other colors as well. Then I wanted to try it matte since I also seem to have a fascination with it all of the sudden too.  My current favorite matte topcoat is NYC's.  I'm not sure which version I like best....

Traffic Jam on Pink Wednesday

Clearly I missed last week's Pink Wednesday, sorry about that!  I have loads of pink polishes and for some reason when it comes time to come up with just one mani a week using pink, I have a hard time with it!  I'm really not sure why, but there it is.  Anyway, for this week I used China Glaze Traffic Jam as a base and then on an accent added microbeads to create a "FishEgg" look.  I sort of like how this one turned out but I initially wanted the microbeads to match the base a little better.  What do you think?

Pink Wednesday Cult Nails Style

This week I got my first Cult Nails polishes! I pre-ordered the Divas and Drama collection so today's post features one of them - Enticing. Enticing is a gorgeous sheer pink with a very, very subtle shimmer...almost jellyish. I used 3 coats with some VNL but flawless application. I then stamped my middle finger using Julep Niecy and Bundle Monster BM 215 plate.

Pink Wednesday, Revlon style

I have missed a few pink Wednesdays, sorry about that! This weeks is a simple stamp design. I started with two coats of Revlon's Cafe' Pink then stamped with Revlon's Extravagant and Konad M25. Topped with a coat of Seche.

Pink Cadillac!

Elvis' Pink Cadillac to be exact. I got this little beauty in the mail last week and thought it would make a perfect Pink Wednesday post! This one is pretty sheer but still gorgeous and unique. I may try it layered over Essie Raise Awareness next time... I wish I would have gotten the full size! As of the last time I checked this beauty is out of stock over at Pretty and Polished, but keep checking back as she tends to restock often! :)

Happy Pink Wednesday!

I'm going to keep this one short and sweet today, simple pic of my mani for today. Base of Revlon's Sublime Strawberry (from their scented line - YUMMY!), stamped with BM-209 using Wet N Wild's Black Creme polish and finished with a coat of Seche.

Pink Wednesday!

Ok guys, this is my very first Pink Wednesday! I had a few ideas on what I wanted to do, but for this one I just went sort of simple. I first applied my base coat (Bonder) and then 3 coats of Sally Hansen Heart of Stone. Once dry I topped it with two coats of Wet 'n' Wild Sparkled.

It was tough to get a good pic of this one but you can still (barely) see the pink under all that luscious glitter!
