I took advantage of the recent Butter London sale at Ulta, and picked up this gorgeous pink glitter, Rosie Lee.  I was able to get the glitter opaque in four light coats.  The nude pink is OPI's My Very First Knockwurst.  I did the V-Gaps by taping off triangles and painting on three quick coats of Rosie Lee.

I had a hard time choosing a pattern for this monday's mani so instead I decided on a pink mash up. The pinks I used here are Presto Pink from Sally Hansen Insta-Dri and Dana from Zoya. The glitter nail is three coats of Rosie Lee from Butter London. The chevrons are painted using Presto Pink and a striping brush over a base coat of Metallic from Revlon Top Speed. 

Pink Monday - Pink Dots for Breast Cancer

Welcome to week two of Pink Monday!! Every Monday in October, Cara and I are showing our support for breast cancer awareness by doing pink nails.  You can check out our previous Pink Monday Manis here, here, and here.

 

This week I wanted to do some dots in various shades of pink.  My original plan was to dot the whole nail in progressively darker shades.  However, once I did two shades, I really liked how it looked, and decided to keep it like that.  This is a simple design that would look great in other color schemes as well.

For this week, I did a ruffle manicure.  I love this design, because it is so easy to do, yet it makes a big impact.  You can check out my previous attempt at a ruffle manicure here.  I did the ruffles with a large dotting tool, and painted the ribbon with a medium striping brush.

Pink Monday: Cheetah for Breast Cancer

Cara's Nails

In honor of Breast Caner Awareness Month  Miscellaneous Manicures will be doing Pink Mondays for the rest of October! Every monday we will feature one, maybe two manicures dedicated the the lovely color of pink. You can check out the first pink monday manicure here. If you have any suggestions for future Pink Mondays, please leave us a comment.

Today's monday mani features a base coat of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Coral Reef. I stamped the cheetah pattern using Wet n Wild Fast Dry Ebony Hates Chris. I just want to mention how great of a stamping polish this is. I have bought several black polishes over the last few weeks in hopes of finding something that will stamp a true black as opposed to a dark grayish color. So far, I am quite pleased with this one. Using a dotting tool, I finished off the cheetah pattern by dotting Zoya Dana into the print. 

Pink Ribbon Nails

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! I created this pink mani with a combination of gradient and sparkles. The gradient is Sinful Colors Soul Mate and Zoya Dana. My pointer finger is Soul Mate with a top coat of the super sparkly Diamonds from Sally Hansen Diamond Strength. The ribbon is Dana with a Diamonds top coat over a base of White On by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear. 

This is a subject very close to my heart. I happen to know several breast cancer survivors. The is a great month to donate to a great cause! You can check out a bunch of great website where proceeds go towards the cause. Here are two of my faves.
