Dandy Nails - Wonderwall

Hello!  Today I have just a quick post because I relaxed most of yesterday!  I was going to do a swatch-a-thon, but actually fell asleep!! Sorry! lol  This is a mani I did a few days ago.  I didn't take very good pictures of it, so for that I apologize! 

Hopefully you can see the beauty that is Wonderwall!  This glitter is so sparkly!!!  I believe the white is a matte glitter, but the blue catches the light and gives a little flash.

For this mani, I used 2 coats of Zoya Mitzi, which you can see a swatch of on a previous post that I did.  Then I topped it off with 1 coat of Dandy Nails Wonderwall.  I then used 1 coat of Seche Vite.

You can purchase Dandy Nails on Etsy, http://www.etsy.com/shop/DandyNails.  Also, you can follow Facebook to get updates and information for store openings and new color information!

 

 

 

Here are some pictures that I took in my beauty room.  It always makes my skin look red though, sorry haha!

 

 

 

Hope you all have a great weekend! :-D

Much Love,

Othello Mani

 Hi Everyone!! I'm excited for today's post!!! I've had this idea ever since I saw these 4 black & white glitters!!  I am excited to have these beauties!!  I couldn't think of a name for this mani, so I asked Mr. CC his thoughts.  He said this looked like the board game, Othello.  After Googling a picture, I have to agree!  lol!!  I have no idea how to play this, but hey, if it matches my mani, looks like a great game ;-) hahaha

So I decided to go with this bright green by Misa called The Grass is Greener on My Side.  It reminded me of Cult Nails Feelin' Froggy, but after looking at them side by side, Feelin' Froggy is more green while The Grass is more of a teal.  Both are gorgeous of course with their amazing shimmers!

This is 2 coats of The Grass is Greener on My Side, with no top coat since I planned for the glitters. 

 

 

 

 

 

So my idea was to start with the largest black & white glitter and then get smaller, then go larger again.  On the thumb an pinky is Colorblind by Dandy Nails, which is black and white glitter hexagons.  Next on the pointer and ring finger is Colorblind^2, squared because they are little black and white squares!! Then for the middle finger, 1 coat of Asbestos with 1 coat of Carbon Copy, both by Windestine. Asbestos is white square glitter and Carbon Copy is black hexagon glitter.  All of the black and white gitters are in clear bases.  I topped it all off with Cult Nails Wicked Fast top coat.

I love how this turned out!  The possibilities with black and white glitter are endless!  So many different bases you can use, can layer them together, or even fade them the other way of large in the middle with them getting smaller!  I bet all four would be awesome on one nail too!  Black and White glitter overload!! :-D

I hope you enjoyed my Othello mani!  I had no idea when doing choosing that base it would look like the game, but I am just going to go with it!  I am glad to finally show you this idea!!!  And how cool that I have a thumb, right? hehe I like that I could show my whole hand for once! ;-)

I hope you have a great day and a great week!

Much Love,

Crystal
