 | I hope you've been enjoying the Breast Cancer Awareness Week, hosted by Amanda of Amandalandish. It's been great seeing all of the pink support manicures and learning all of these very important and necessary bits of information. |
Todays theme for the 33DC is 'Most Used Color'
Sometimes on these prompts you have to draw your own conclusions, so this could be a shade, or a specific polish? Why not both!?
So I dug through my keyword list, which is not 100% accurate because sometimes I can't fit everything in there I would like - but I found that my most used polish was Zoya Dovima, and my most used color was Pink.
So I took Dovima and I paired it with one of my favorite pinks, Nicole by OPI Still Into Pink, which also happens to be the same finish, a sparkly matte.
I've also used a MoYou London plate for this mani - Pro Collection 04.

I only used these two polishes, even for the stamping. I wanted to keep the finishes all matching. But you can definitely see how the pink changes when its stamped over black. Most polishes stamp poorly over black though so I was expecting this, I like it, even if it didn't really match the accent nail!
Pretty straightforward - both the roses and the cameo design are off of the same plate - and the mani was finished using Out the Door Top Coat.
Here are the prompts for the challenge so you can see whats coming next:

Happy Valentines Day!
You are all my special valentines and I love you all for being interested in what I do!
Instead of showing you another Valentines Mani (I'm sure alot of us are sick of em by now!) - I am gonna show you a hot pink explosion - call it my brain exploding from love overkill!
I think the hardest part of doing these type of manicures is getting your tape placement right. And I've done this manicure a few times, this is the first time I've actually liked how it turned out 100%.
For this manicure I started my base with Essence Grey-t To Be Here which is an AMAZING grey with pink and orangey pearl particles. I took two pieces of tape cut into angles/triangles and placed them on the nail - then I painted over the open space with Nicole by OPI Still Into Pink (YES - I finally found it after searching every store in my town for a week straight!) - then rip the tape off! Once dry I striped with a turquoise striper polish and after full dry (you don't want smears after all that hard work) - I top coated with Gelous and Julep Quick Dry Top Coat! Voila!
