Christmas Dip-Dye Nails

Merry Christmas Eve!  Today I have some festive nail art for you.

I had seen Rylee (@WickedNails on IG) post a few dip-dye manis and I loved the look.  I saw this tutorial on Pinterest a while back so I finally decided to try it out; mostly because I was too lazy to do an actual design lol

Its pretty simple.  Just paint your nails a base color.  Draw messy lines with your light color with a small nail art (or paint) brush.  Then more messy lines with your darker color.  I slapped on some glitter just for festive purposes ;)

Without glitter 

*GASP* My rarely seen right hand!!  This design is so simple
you can even do it on your dominant hand.  I actually think this
looks better than my left hand.

Base: Julep Eileen

Reds (light to glitter): Essie Head Mistress, Berry Naughty, and Leading Lady

Greens (light to glitter) China Glaze Def Defying, Julep Hoch, and Essie Beyond Cozy
all topped with Seche Vite.

Lazy Haze and Wicked Polish Cardiac Arrest

Helllo Lovelies!  Is everyone finally back in the swing of things after Thanksgiving?  I’m STILL trying to catch up on laundry.  That might have something to do with the fact that I only get to do it once a month, but ehhh whatever.  Haha ;P  Today I have for you a yummy fruity drink called Lazy Haze and more Wicked Polish!  I FINALLY got my paws on Pox and Pink Eye, so my WP collection is complete!!  Now I want more -_- lol

You’ll Need:

Peach Schnapps

Apple Pucker

OJ

Ice

Make It!

Cup.  Ice.  Equal glugs of peach and apple, then three glugs OJ.

Essie Berry Naughty and Wicked Polish Cardiac Arrest

Wicked Polish Cardiac Arrest Essie Berry Naughty

Wicked Polish Cardiac Arrest

One coat WP Cardiac Arrest over
one coat Essie Berry Naughty; Revlon Fast Dry Topcoat

OOH look!  I didn't use blue this time!!  I lahhhhuv these deep red colors, even though I have murder fingers* for like three days after I paint them.  This Essie is a deep vampy red.  I think it’s similar to Essie’s Wicked, but Berry Naughty has more of a red jelly base while Wicked has more of a darker maroon jelly base. 

*Murder Fingers:  whenever I use red polish, no matter HOW neat I do them, cleanup is horrible and the red stains my cuticles so it looks like I have blood all over my fingers; hence: murder fingers ;)

Wicked Polish Cardiac Arrest has a red jelly base packed full of small iridescent square glitter (that looks light purple in the sun) and various sizes of violet red – if you remember your Crayola colors – holo glitters.  Without undies the base is a sheer violet red.  It definitely looks darker in the bottle and obviously with this mani it’s a zillion times darker than on its own. 

I did one coat of Cardiac Arrest over one coat Berry Naughty and topped with Revlon Fast Dry Topcoat.  I was going to do a second coat of WP, but it got too dark out on my patio and I never got around to it.  Oops!  I still think it looks okay.  You can see the Essie was a little streaky with only one coat (on my pinkie).  As usual, all bottles are $10 for full sized + $3 flat rate for shipping.  I may have dreamt it, but I think WP will be selling sets of minis for the holidays – I’ll have to check up on that. 

If you haven’t liked Wicked Polish on Facebook, don’t talk to me!  If you haven’t visited their Esty Shop, shame on you!  But I'll let it slide because the store is closed temporarily.  And if you haven’t followed on IG yet (@WickedNails and @WickedPolish), you’re slacking!

Okay loves, have a great weekend!  See you back for Swatch Tuesday, where I will probably be using blue again!  ;P
