Black & White Chevron Nail Art

Here is some more nail art for you guys! I was looking for some ideas when I came across this post and I absolutely loved it.  Sadly mine did not turn out quite as good but here you go.  I did not have the beautiful gold silver color used so instead I decided to just use a silver metallic color by Creative called Times Square.

I started off with one coat of Times Square which is a beautiful polish but the application is absolutely dreadful! It is thick and streaky, not nice at all.  After that dried I used nail tape to add the design with relatively straight lines.  I used Confetti Black Tie and Sinful Colors Snow me White for the other colors.  The black was easy one coat no problems but the white needed 2 coats to be completely opaque.  

Polka Dot Nail Art

I was feeling like doing something fun so I decided to try out some different polka dot designs for my manicure today.  I started off with three coats of OPI's Shootout at the O.K. Coral which is a bright hot-pink, coral color.  The polish was a bit translucent so it needed three coats to be completely opaque.  I then used Sinful Colors Aquamarine for some fun dots.

On my thumb I just did diagonal rows of dots which turned out quite pretty.  The pointer finger was just dotted normally.  On my middle finger I tried out a gradient dot design which I really liked.  My ring finger I left plain and just dotted three large dots on my pinkie.  For all of the dots I just used the back of a nail art brush and it worked fine.  

OPI Conga Line Coral

This color is an old one that I got so long ago I can't even remember but I decided to show it to you guys anyway.  It is called Conga Line Coral by OPI and it is pink tinted slightly orange.  I know it looks very dull and orange in the picture below but I was just having a lot of difficulty getting the color to show well, and it is actually much more pink.  As usually with OPI the application was easy and it is a truly beautiful, eye-catching color.

 I was experimenting with some nail art so for my ring finger I tried to do a cheetah freehand design.  I started with Sinful Colors Snow Me White for a base coat and then used Conga Line Coral for the inside of the spots which I lined with Sinful Colors Secret Admirer.  Obviously it was not amazing but for by first try I liked how it turned out.

Spoiled Your Fly's Down

So first I have to say the name of this nail polish really made me laugh, Spoiled a brand by Wet n Wild always has the best names!  So for this mani I decided to do a little patriots nail art for the big championship game tonight. On my ring finger I started off with Snow Me White by Sinful Colors and then used Your Fly's down, I Don't give a Rotterdam by OPI, and a red whose name I don't know also by OPI for the Pats logo.  I really liked how it turned out despite the fact that it was one of my first attempts at free hand nail art.  The rest of the nails however I did not like as much, the polish was too thick and came out quite poorly in my opinion but overall a pretty good mani.  Only disappointment was the actual football game.
