Hello!! Feels so strange to be posting this particular design, Fall leaves, right now...if you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/manicurator/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>
then you know I was just on a beach vacation! But you also know, Fall
collections always like to get the jump on the actual season and come in
while we are still enjoying summer. So I'm showing you my Fall inspired
nail art with 4 of the 12 KBShimmer Fall 2016 shades which go on sale

Sweet
Devotion went on easily and is proof that KBShimmer is one of the
original masters of the crelly glitter polishes, that put them on the
map of who's who of Indie polish makers! I used 3 thin coats but you
could probably get away with 2 thick ones. <br />

Nail Art Tutorial<div style="text-align: right;">
Press sample, Sponsored</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello
lovelies! I'm back with a simple yet (I think!) stunning design using
one of the shades from Cirque Colors: Manus x Machina collection and the
full Vice 2016 collection. This includes an easy tutorial because the
design is so easy to make! If you don't know about this fantastic
collection you can read all about it, the inspirations behind each
shade, and of course swatches and nail art highlighting each shade: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.manicurator.com/2016/05/cirque-colors-manus-x-machina.html&source=gmail&ust=1469810365642000&usg=AFQjCNGiyD-nqxo-UjjvzffCilELkd4zUQ" href="http://www.manicurator.com/2016/05/cirque-colors-manus-x-machina.html" target="_blank">Cirque Colors Manus x Machina</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The
sort version, this collection was inspired by the materials and
production techniques
that are explored throughout the exhibit (Manus x Machina) at The
Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. You can still see this beautiful
exhibition which explores the dichotomy between handmade (manus) and
machine-made
(machina) in the creation of fashion. This year's exhibit features over
150 pieces of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear dating from
the 1880s to present day. I highly recommend it! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One
shade at a time, I "blended" out using a tiny nail art brush dipped in
pure acetone. I just wanted to create edges for the dots that were not
so crisp. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After
each shade's dots were softened, I made sure the brush was thoroughly
clean. Then I moved on to adding acetone to the next shade. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the dots and acetone was complete, I added one coat of the Manus x Machina <b>Ultrasonic</b> - A sheer linen-white inspired by designer toiles which
serve as working prototypes for finished fashion designs. This
foundational shade pays homage to the creative process, providing
buildable coverage and a perfect blank canvas for nail art.</div>

This
shade is so easy to work with and goes on without any streaking, builds
in opacity with each coat, so it's perfect for jelly sandwiches

Hi all! How are these months just flying by? Is it really almost August? Here we are with another Paint All The Nails link up! I'm so happy to be involved with these incredibly kind and talented ladies! This month our vote brings us to the theme: NEON. Yep. Summer neons here we come. I knew immediately I had to use my new <i>Cirque Colors</i> <b>Vice 2016</b> collection because well, they are amazing <3</div>

First I applied 2 coats of <i>Cirque Colors</i> <b>Carpe Diem</b>. Then I used a small fan brush and simply swept on each shade from the <i>Cirque Colors</i> <b>Vice 2016</b> collection. <br />

I brushed on the holo top coat <b>We Trippy</b> just to highlight in a few spots. That's it. I loved how this looked but I also wanted to try my hand with some stamping..which I'm not typically too good at. <br />

<a href="https://ooh.li/b9eceec" target="_blank">Sally Beauty</a> has SO much to choose from for keeping nails and toes pretty. Here are my summer choices, with a trend watch for a few travel ready products for your summer getaway: <a href="https://ooh.li/0c3bc61" target="_blank">OPI Retro Summer collection</a> (I had my eye on these for a while so I was thrilled to finally pick them up at Sally Beauty), <a href="https://ooh.li/0c3bc61" target="_blank">Heel to Toe Gel Separators</a> (for the must have <a href="https://ooh.li/c338449" target="_blank">#summerready</a> pedicure), <a href="https://ooh.li/0c3bc61" target="_blank">Moist Hemp</a> moisturizer (yep, travel size so it pops right in the bag to go!), <a href="https://ooh.li/0c3bc61" target="_blank">Heel to Toe Peppermint Smoothing Scrub</a> (this smells so great and works so well to slough off dry skin and keep feet looking great), <a href="https://ooh.li/0c3bc61" target="_blank">Skin Elements Pure Argon Oil</a> (I use this to give extra care to dry spots on feet and elbows and it's a perfect cuticle moisturizer.), <a href="https://ooh.li/0c3bc61" target="_blank">Seche Vite</a> (another travel size, really perfect for vacations where packing space is minimal and you need to be on the go quickly after finishing a new manicure!), <a href="https://ooh.li/0c3bc61" target="_blank">Beauty Secrets Nail Polish Remover envelopes</a> (superb for your vacation mani and pedi change - love that there's no risk of leaking into your suitcase!), and lastly I picked up a gentle <a href="https://ooh.li/0c3bc61" target="_blank">buffing block</a> for that occasional quick buff to smooth out ridges. I don't do that every manicure as it weakens the nail bed, but maybe about once a month. <br />

Here's the manicure I created. I know summer nails often calls to mind the brightest shades and lots of neon. Which I considered.

Plus, it's so easy to create..keep reading and I'll show you just how I did it. I really love how it turned out and was so glad my local Sally Beauty still had them in stock!

Get the look: Here's what I did - randomly place drops of polish of each shade on a stamping pad. You can use a substitute for a stamping pad if you don't have one! Anything that won't absorb the nail polish and holds its shape would work. <br />

Here I've shown how it works on a nail stick. You can dab at the nail gently with with stamper until you are happy with how it looks. Then do some clean up, as this can get a bit messy, top coat and DONE. Easy peasy. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Summer is in full swing and I've got a super summery trio from Powder Perfect to show you. And it's just your luck, if you haven't snatched these up yet, they are <a href="http://www.powder-perfect.com/collections/whats-new/products/bermuda-triangle-trio" target="_blank">on sale</a>, right now!!<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This collection is inspired by <u><i>The Bermuda Triangle</i></u>, a famed “dead zone” between Bermuda, Florida & Puerto Rico where ships, submarines & aircraft mysteriously vanish without a trace! Some pilots report strange weather phenomena, others disappear without even issuing distress signals. While the cause of the disappearances remains unsolved, the Bermuda Triangle is firmly fixed on our paranormal radar.</blockquote>

Well, of course I had to create triangle nail art with this collection!! :P<br />

These were fairly easy to create! I simply painted out swatches on wax paper of each shade. I used 3 coats for each color as I wanted to be sure there would be a thickish decal to use. Once they were dry (but not like days old dry...then they become too brittle) I gently peeled off each color strip and cut tiny triangles! The photo above shows the design before top coat went on. <br />

Right before I was ready to place the triangles on the nail I applied Powder Perfect Smooth Sailing Base Coat so the decals would adhere to the nail! I must admit though, these decals were maybe too thick and I had to apply about 3 coats of Lightening Lady Top Coat to smooth it out, and therefore I created tiny bubbles in the top coat. It wasn't really visible to the eye, but I wanted to mention it. I do not believe the top coat was intended to be used the way I did. <br />

The three shades of <i>The Bermuda Triangle Trio</i>:<br />
<b>Bermuda</b> is a gorgeous bright teal crème lacquer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Florida</b> is a striking coral that is balanced between a neon & a pastel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Puerto Rico</b> – a true, vibrant purple crème.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I think all three are stunning and totally fit their namesake! <br /><br />

Hi
all! Our weekend is nearly over here in N.Y., today was a gorgeous
Summer day! What is the season/weather like where you are? Today I've
got the four sienna BYRON BAY shades that I swatched for you in my <a href="http://www.manicurator.com/2016/07/sienna-byron-bay-nail-polish-swatch-and.html" target="_blank">previous post</a>. I of course needed to create a design with them :D </div>

Hello! Hope your week is going well. I had the pleasure of trying out a new to me brand, and now I'll be sharing with you my swatches and review of four shades from <a href="https://www.siennabyronbay.com.au/about/" target="_blank">Sienna BYRON BAY</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This Australian brand is "... as local as can be, vegan & cruelty free, we use 100%
renewable soy, and we source sustainable non-native timbers from our own
backyard". It is in fact those charming timber/wood caps that upon opening the package transported me to my favorite spa. The natural smell of the wood is really lovely! About the formula - "Our nail polishes are ‘non-toxic’, meaning they contain No Formaldehyde,
No Toluene, No DBP, No Synthetic Camphor, No Formaldehyde Resin, No
Xylene, No Tosylamide, and No Benzophenone-1. We’re Vegan and Cruelty
Free. We are committed to keeping our products as clean as possible and
so continue to update our formula to reflect this." So far so good, right? So I was able to pick my top 4 shades from their collection (tough to do because I love so many! But not surprisingly I gravitated toward the aquas/blues/mint range! </div>

I had no problems with application or functionality with the base coat. The top coat was easy to apply, the formula is thinner than the fast dry top coats that I am used to (Seche Vite, KBShimmer) and it did not dry as fast as those either. I know, that is the con of having a healthier formula though. My nails were dry to the touch in about 10 minutes (base coat and 3 coats of polish in most cases) but not completely dry for another 30 - 40 or so minutes so you still need to take care they don't get bumped or nicked. </div>

I used 3 coats for full opacity here. During application I noticed some very tiny bits, of pigment. The top coat hid it completely so there was nothing noticeable in the final manicure. When I contacted Danielle, the maker, she let me know these are all "blended by hand and sometimes they need a bit of machinery like a
smoothie maker to get those bits out. Some of the pigments are 'heavier'
than others which is how it happens." If any of the polishes are released with bits in them they get recalled, so I'm sure an occasional one gets by but they will take care of you if it happens.</div>

Oh man is this shade gorgeous! I knew I would like the previous one best, because I love the seagreen muted aquas the most but this one was just so stunning on. I did not want to take it off!

This pretty shade of green was perfect in 2 coats. All four of these cremes need a top coat as they do not self level completely, or give off a shiny finish on their own. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Very minor issues aside (very tiny pigment bits in 2 shades, and not 100% self leveling) I'm fan girling this brand and looking forward to trying new shades and finishes. They have a lovely website with a large range of colors! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello all and happy summer!! I'm posting last minute over here, to join in with the lovely Paint All The Nails Group I'm in. We decided on an open ended Animal Print this month and I knew I wanted to go outside the leopard box for this one. My boys just finished first grade and we are eagerly looking forward to our vacation and snorkeling in the Caribbean this summer. So in honor of the tropical fishies I bring you my rendition of the Oriental Sweetlips fish! </div>

Ok, so it's officially Summer. And here I have Zoya Spring on my nails. We can handle that, right? That's what I tell my boys, when they are faced with something that seems challenging to them. "You can handle it." It's so cute and rewarding when one of them (They are 7 yrs old) responds on his own with "I can handle it!" OK, so back to nails...I actually created this some time ago so it's not currently on my nails, I'm glad to share it with you today. Hope you let me know if you like it! </div>

This manicure began with 2 coats of <i>Zoya</i> <b>Leia</b> - a sheer, opalescent white with
flecks of fuchsia, green and gold. It's beautiful. Sheer indeed but I imagine it will look amazing used as a top layer on other shades as well. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Friday! Today I'm showing you what I created with Dior Vernis Summer 2016 Milky Dots 002 Confettis 652, 432 and Milky Dots 003 Plumetis 582, 262 Did you see the look I created with <a href="http://www.manicurator.com/2016/05/dior-vernis-summer-2016-milky-dots.html" target="_blank">Milky Dots 001 Pastilles</a>? I think these are such great sets. Each one has complimentary shades that are larger than your average mini, but not full size, and a Dior dotting tool.<br />

For this look I was inspired by the design Valesha over at <a href="http://www.peachypolish.com/paint-nails-presents-dotticures/" target="_blank">Peachy Polish</a> made for our last link-up. It was super easy to do with such an interesting outcome I think. <br />

I applied 2 coats of the pink shade, 262 (no names on the bottles). I had no issues with formula or application, which is the norm for me with Dior. To create the swirly dots I just let a drop fall off the brush from each shade onto a square of wax paper. Then I used the dotting tool and dabbed it into each color (don't mix, just dab!) and then made my dot onto the nail. I just dotted randomly, re-dipping into the shades as necessary. <br />

Hello! I've got another design today using the <u>Manus x Machina</u> collection by <i>Cirque Colors</i>. Did you get a chance to see my epic post introducing the shades and showing a fashion inspired nail art behind each design? <a href="http://www.manicurator.com/2016/05/cirque-colors-manus-x-machina.html" target="_blank">Check it out</a>!
Today's nail art is also inspired by a dress we saw at The Metropolitan
Museum of Art Manus x Machina exhibit which is on display now. </div>

This manicure started with <i>Cirque Colors</i> <b>Holdfast Base Coat</b> and 2 coats of <b>Tulle</b> from The Manus x Machina collection. A light pink-beige crème inspired by the dichotomy of
precision and lightness embodied in handmade accents from the various
haute couture métiers, including dentellerie (lacemaking), parurier
floral (artificial flowers), plissage (pleating), and plumasserie

Once <b>Tulle</b> was dry I used <i>Cirque Colors</i> <b>Don't Forget the Cannoli</b> and <b>Lox and Sable</b> and <b>Nolita Lolita </b>to lay out the base of flowers for this design. I actually mixed a drop of <b>Don't Forget the Cannoli </b>and <b>Nolita Lolita </b>to get the lighter shade of pink I wanted. I used a very small nail art brush to paint them. </div>

Using a small spotter brush I dabbed <i>Cirque Colors</i> <b>Hustle</b> in the center of the large flowers. Then I went back in with the small round brush using <i>Cirque Colors</i> <b>McKittrick</b> and <b>McKittrick</b> mixed with <b>Hustle</b> to paint in the leaves. I dotted <i>Cirque Colors</i> <b>Rita</b> on two of the white flowers and that's it. </div>

So thrilled I can bust out the Summer 2016 collections, aren't you? This Spring really flew by for me, and I still have a bunch of Spring collections to show off...but today is the day of my Paint All The Nails group link up and the theme is dots! That's right, just dots! So open ended, just the way I like...and this box of DIOR goodies landed in my mailbox last week and well...DOTS. So here is what I came up with! Hope you like it as much as I do. </div>

I used striping tape to separate, and painted 2 coats of each shade without any problems with formula or application. Once it dried down a bit, I applied the random, gradient dots with the Dior dotting tool and the beige. <br />

Press sample, Sponsored</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/" target="_blank">The Metropolitan Museum of Art</a> recently unveiled it's special fashion-focused exhibition entitled <u>Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology</u>,
which explores the dichotomy between handmade (manus) and machine-made
(machina) in the creation of fashion. This year's exhibit features over
150 pieces of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear dating from
the 1880s to present day. Cirque Colors created a 6-piece collection inspired by the materials and production techniques
that are explored throughout this exhibit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's an honor for me to be included in
this collection release by Cirque Colors, creating nail art inspired by the fashion from this exhibit. You've seen my interest in
fashion with my participation co-hosting the Nail Art Fashion Week
challenge not once but twice so far. I've always been drawn to the world
of haute couture and was thrilled when Annie from Cirque Colors asked
me to collaborate and create nail art designs inspired by the fashion

and it was breathtaking for me. I do recommend you see it if you are in
the NYC region or will be traveling here. It runs through August 14,

My personal favorite of this collection. This shade has a great formula, and opaque in 2 coats. I used 3 here, just to be on the safe side. In my opinion, this is a grown up glitter that is very unique, as it does show off a pink iridescence. Swoon! To create this simple and elegant nail design I first applied 2 coats of Cirque Colors Ultrasonic and then fast dry top coat, then used <a href="http://store.whatsupnails.com/collections/nail-vinyls-diy-nail-art-tape-guides-vinyl-stickers-stencils-nails/products/whats-up-nails-circle-nail-guide-tape-moon-mani-french-tips-nail-vinyls" target="_blank">What's Up Nails Circle Tape Nail Vinyls</a> to block off the moon and used a dotter to make gradient dots down the nail. No top coat over the dots! </div>

An easy glitter to work with. I had no issues with formula, application and no fishing for glitters necessary. To create this design I applied 3 coats of <i>Cirque Colors</i> <b>Ultrasonic</b> and fast dry top coat. I used a small nail art brush to paint the outline of the dress using <i>Cirque Colors</i> <b>Alter Ego</b>. Then I dabbed on glitters from <b>Laser Jet</b> along the outlines. On the swatch fingers, I painted on 1 coat of <b>Laser Jet</b> over 3 coats of <b>Ultrasonic</b> and dabbed some glitters where I wanted a bit more coverage.</div>

Beautiful white with a pink shimmer that I haven't quite seen in a polish before. I love it. White pearlescence formulas tend to be trickier to apply so I would recommend using 3-4 thin coats to get full coverage. A good top coat will smooth it out perfectly. For the nail design I applied 2 coats of Cirque Colors Tulle and fast dry top coat. Then I used <a href="http://store.whatsupnails.com/collections/nail-vinyls-diy-nail-art-tape-guides-vinyl-stickers-stencils-nails/products/whats-up-nails-scale-mermaid-nail-stickers-stencils-nail-vinyls" target="_blank">Whats Up Nails Scale Vinyls</a> and 2 thick coats of Pret-A-Pearl. </div>

A brooding shade with hints of brown, black and green that looks different at different angles. No problems with formula or application. I used 3 thin coats for the swatch nails. The design is freehand with a small nail art brush using Cirque Colors Carpe Diem, Raven, then Memento Mori over Moon Dust. No top coat for this manicure. </div>

This shade is more beige than the pink that the promo photo (above) shows. It has an excellent formula and is opaque in 2 coats. Easily became a new favorite neutral for me. I wanted to capture the texture and seemingly ordered randomness in the above fabulous dress. I tried quite a few different techniques until I got this one that I was pleased with. I simply used the pointy smallest dotting tool I have to make these swirls and figures 8's onto freshly painted nail. As I swirled, the paint began to dry down, allowing the design to take hold. </div>

This is a gorgeous crelly formula, where you can apply one coat for a hint of sheer brightening off white or build it up for more coverage. My swatch nails have 3 coats and you can still see the nail line. I love it and love the formula. I know I will pick this one up again and again for nail art as well. The design was done free hand with <i>Cirque Colors</i> <b>Memento Mori</b> to give the feel of this funky modern fashion artwork.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing my thoughts and showing the results of the Sally Hansen Complete Care 7-in-1 Treatment challenge. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From Sally Hansen: </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: center;">
This nail treatment just got even better and delivers visible nail results. Whether your nail problem is dryness, ridges, dullness, breakage, peeling or all of the above. This product helps restore dry brittle nails making them visibly healthier and beautiful. After just 3 days nails look shinier, stronger, mega-moisturized and brighter with ridges filled. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The exclusive patented formula, with Avocado oil, Sea Salt, Pomegranate Extract and Calcium immediately protects and continuously nourishes nails, helping create the perfect foundation for any manicure. The product features a new brush for an even application and dries quickly to a smooth hard finish. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This versatile treatment can be used alone or with your favorite Sally Hansen nail color when applied as a base coat or as a protective top coat. To wear it alone, simply apply two coats to clean, dry, bare nails. Use it to refresh a manicure by brushing on one thin coat to nails. It goes on smoothly and evenly for a streak free application.</div>

Here's my completely unedited before photo. I haven't had an issue with breakage or peeling in quite some time, but there is some dryness, dullness, and I do have ridges that I ever so rarely will buff out. </div>

My after photo, after applying for 10 day. I had so much growth that I had to file down to keep them at a comfortable for me length. I did find that it went on just as described: smoothly, evenly and streak-free. My nails looked better even when it wasn't on. I will definitely continue to use this product as a base coat, or when going bare, it gives a beautiful gloss. </div>

<i>Sally Hansen</i> <b>Miracle Gel</b> In My Suitcase - a beige grey, or greyed beige. Either way, I love it, and its name. I love to travel and have been feeling the itch to pack a bag a have a weekend getaway! Formula was good, 2 coats here plus Miracle Gel Top Coat. It took a bit longer to dry than my go to fast dry top coat, but not so long that it would deter me from using. </div>

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Take The Plunge - a bright blue creme. I used <a href="http://store.whatsupnails.com/collections/nail-vinyls-diy-nail-art-tape-guides-vinyl-stickers-stencils-nails/products/whats-up-nails-moroccan-nail-stickers-stencils-nail-vinyls" target="_blank">Whats Up Nails Moroccan vinyls </a>which is one of my all time favorite patterns! This polish was super easy to work with and I barely needed 2 coats for the design. I was super happy that I had near zero smudging when I used the Miracle Gel Top Coat over the design. </div>

Hi
there! This week is flying for me! How about you? My kids are home on
Spring Break and how surprised was I when I realized today was Thursday!
And I hadn't even started these nails and they were due today! Oh boy.
Me and the rush job again! Sooo, I had not really gotten excited about
the theme that the girls in my lovely nail group voted for this month -
Monochrome - using only white, grey and black. Hmf. Well despite longing
for a colorful theme..I had quite a few ideas running through my head
of what I might do. And then the day just sneaked up on me. So this is
what I created last minute and yeah...I love it! :D </div>

Here's the design before I matted it. It looked nice. But for me, matte was the clear winner.</div>

This manicure started off with 1 coat of <i>OPI</i> <b>Alpine Snow</b>. Then I sponged on a gradient of <i>OPI </i><b>Alpine Snow</b>, <b>Cement The Deal</b> and <b>Embrace The Gray</b>. I top coated with <i>KBShimmer</i> <b>Clearly On Top</b>. Then I used <i>Whats Up Nails</i> <b>Hearts Nail Vinyl</b> and diluted (with Zoya Remove) <i>OPI</i> <b>Who Are You Calling Bossy?!?</b>
to fill in the hearts. I intentionally wanted brushstokes and uneven
color. I love the raw feel that is giving here. After all, the broken
and black hearted have to show their wear and tear. Top coat again with <b>Clearly On Top</b>. </div>

My
kids thought this was animal pint at first glance...and weren't crazy
about the design, but I am lovin it. I adore that I decided to go with
the anti-valentine/black hearts feel. Not everyone can have the perfect
cheery romance red heart kind of feeling all the time. Am I right? </div>

Hello! So happy to show you my final design for the Nail Art Fashion Week 2016 challenge! I told you I would finish ;) Though it took way longer than scheduled, at least I can say I completed it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The week long challenge ends with recreating a nail art design from the Fall 2016 runway. I chose this super simple design by <a href="http://ladyfancynails.com/" target="_blank">http://ladyfancynails.com/</a> for <a href="http://chromat.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Chromat</a>. </div>

Marchesa dress, one of my favorite designers and there's no question
that they ruled the runway in Fall 2016! If you have any desire to be

Well...these
looked better in my mind..and way better before I put the dotted
"flowers" in between the gradient sections. Somehow, in my opinion,
these just didn't turn out the way I had hoped but I decided to post
them anyway. So I fell short of my challenge for this one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used all Smith & Cult polishes..which I'm in love with and will one day swatch and show off on their own. Shades used: <b>Dark Like Me</b>, <b>Check The Rhyme</b>, <b>Faultleroy</b>, <b>Vegas Post Apocalyptic</b></div>

Hi everyone! Bringing you Day 5 of the Nail Art Fashion Week 2016 (#NAFW2016) challenge despite it being officially over already. Today's look I actually did last..because I just knew I'd love them and not want to take them off! I was right! I'm still wearing these right now! I chose Cate Blanchett seen here wearing Maison Martin Margiela, as my style icon this year because not only is she elegant and classy, she often pushes the envelope and dares to wear designs with an edge to them and in my opinion she always pulls it off! <br />

I know the colors aren't exactly right, but these new <i>China Glaze</i> Summer 2016 shades: <b>Lime After Lime</b>, <b>Lip Smackin' Good</b>, and <b>None Of Your risky Business</b> were sitting on my desk begging to be used and I love the way it turned out. </div>

I started with 2 coats of the amazing <i>KBShimmer</i> <b>Diamond</b> and then <b>Clearly On Top</b>. After I applied the <i>Whats Up Nails</i> vinyl to dry nail, I used a small nail art brush to dab each <i>China Glaze</i> shade in, creating a somewhat patchy look. This was intentional to dull out the shade and let the blingy glitter base come through under the colors. It worked out exactly as I'd hoped. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here I am on the late parade, but I'm still going to finish out this challenge! Today I have Day 4 of the Nail Art Fashion Week challenge: Fashion Trend. The trend I went with is "clean lines". I kind of made that up...but I think it works. lol. I was so enamored with this entire collection, it was hard to pick just one to recreate. I was also touched by the fact that Lela Rose's father passed away suddenly on;t two weeks before the show..and I got choked up. My own father has just been diagnosed with cancer so I've been caught up with emotions and lots of doctor appointments with him (one of the many reasons these posts are tardy!) My condolences to Lela Rose! And now onto my "clean lines" trend to honor this beautiful look! </div>

Hello nail friends! Running SO late on this challenge but I'm determined to complete it. I love the focus of the challenge, and after all, I am a co-host so I'm extra motivated to finish it. Today is the last day of the challenge but it's my Day 3 - Bag so I chose a Balenciaga Marble, a design that I've never done before. It's also super easy for those of us in a rush! :P </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi there! I'm running late on these eek! Will do my best to get this challenge complete because not only am I a co-host for it..I love it! I've had all my inspirations picked out for weeks! Though, today is extra delayed because the shoe inspiration that I had picked out..I was in a hurry to do (already late) and I just couldn't translate it onto the nail the way I wanted. Has that ever happened to you? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I went back to the drawing board and found a new inspiration and got this one done in a flash!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, these were pretty easy to create. I first applied 2 coats of <i>China Glaze</i> <b>Sorry I'm Latte</b> (which isn't as pink in real life...I think I may have neglected to white balance these correctly..please refer back to the in a mega hurry info previously stated. eek). This matched the cork color of the shoes so well in real life! Then I used the dry brush method (simply wipe off a lot of the polish off the brush and swipe across nail to deposit bits of color) with <i>China Glaze</i> <b>Community</b>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3oxdA_oNhXGzd-raVID-5NKR8uXyuLfeRDpUYoqr0scuosGx6PXrLS8-ewzW8kMhIdrrhZ3HQDul7Xe0qveRiNLrz43nuXUrdR55Jlu8uGD62nHPZ4iDw0MB5wDZvvuowr9A39zf5qFHp/s1600/NAFW-2016-China-Glaze-Jessica-Simpson-Shoes-Nail-Art-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Jessica-Simpson-Shoes-Nail-Art-China-Glaze" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3oxdA_oNhXGzd-raVID-5NKR8uXyuLfeRDpUYoqr0scuosGx6PXrLS8-ewzW8kMhIdrrhZ3HQDul7Xe0qveRiNLrz43nuXUrdR55Jlu8uGD62nHPZ4iDw0MB5wDZvvuowr9A39zf5qFHp/s640/NAFW-2016-China-Glaze-Jessica-Simpson-Shoes-Nail-Art-3.jpg" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I just painted on the flowers with <i>China Glaze</i> <b>White On White</b>.</div>

Hello all!! So sorry for the delay, yes, I'm a day late with these - hopefully I'll catch up with the others before our fun week is done! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my Day 1 - Favorite Fashion Designer: Reem Acra</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always loved her fashions, so much so that I was married in a Reem Acra wedding gown! <3</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here, I was inspired by lovely Suki Waterhouse wearing Reem Acra runway!</div>

Hello! I have a few designs I created to show off a collection that I get kinda mushy over. Cirque Colors (based in Brooklyn, NY) has an ongoing collection inspired by my hometown, NYC! These lovely creme shades of the Metropolis Collection get added to on a seasonal basis. Here are the nine shades released for Spring/Summer 2016. </div>

I used Moroccan nail vinyls to create this, painting <b>Chelsea Girl</b> and <b>Whitney</b> over two coats of <b>Don't Forget the Canoli</b>. I love love how it turned out! Made me think of purple and lilac clouds. These three shades were a dream to work with. All of them were actually. </div>

I had a base of 2 coats <i>Cirque Colors</i> <b>Don't Forget The Canoli</b> here and then used the reverse stamp method to stamp my image and then paint in the backside of the stamp. After the colors are filled in you apply top coat. I like to use fast dry top coat and when it's just barely dry I lift it off, I find it a delicate balance between fully dry and brittle and just about dry and malleable. This one didn't turn out to be my favorite. The painted in image isn't crisp enough for my liking and I had some wee issues applying. That said..these looked really cool in real life and I got a lot of compliments when I wore it. </div>

This was my first attempt using this technique..uh..wet polish swirl? Is that what it's called? lol I started with 2 effortless coats of <b>Lox and Sable</b> (which by the way, I grew up eating!) and then while it was wet, applied small dots of <b>Fire Island</b> and then used a pin to swirl. I'm generally happy with the outcome, especially for a first try!</div>
