#bm-423

Silvery holographic goodness from Meet Me At the Disco by Sephora by OPI.

Because Meet Me At the Disco is supposed to be a top coat, the density of glitter in the polish is a little on the thin side in order to let a base color show through.  In order to not have 10 layers of polish on my nails, I applied it with a makeup sponge so that the excess fluid would get absorbed by the sponge.  Pretty crafty, eh?  Glitter can get chunky in places with that kind of application, so I did end up brushing on an extra two coats of polish straight from the bottle to even out the texture.

Obligatory out of focus picture to photograph the holographic effect. It’s hard to take pictures of holo polish!

For an accent nail, I stamped a chevron pattern onto my ring finger with Konad Special Nail Polish in Flash Black and plate BM-423 from Bundle Monster.

Easy chevron nail art accomplished!

Hope you’re having a great summer so far!  Happy polishing!

I wore this for at least a week straight I liked it so much! Unfortunately I had a dramatic event with a naughty stray dog over…

Hot Pink Chevron Nails for #NAILlinkup

Our march linkupis almost wrapped up.. so I’m sneaking this CHEVRON prompt in right in the knick of time.  Chevrons are bold pattern so I paired it with a bold color- my new hot pink AVON polish called HOTTIE from the Electric…

I was in the mood for something girly so for my CHEVRON design I started with two coats of a pretty bubblegum pink called Sweet by Zoya. Then I stamped a chevron design over top using Essie Butler Please. That polish didn’t stamp as well as I thought it would so I filled in a little extra blue with a striper brush. Then hand-painted some little blue bows and added some rhinestones.

Now that…

STAMPING- OPI Chevron for #NAILLINKUP

This is my first Nail Art Ideas Linkup design for the month of March.  I’m excited for the themes we have this month!  Especially AQUA for some reason . :D

The theme for week 1 is STAMPING so I reached for my new Bundle Monster set!  I finally got the Create Your Own 2013 set that I’ve been lusting after.  I’m so excited to use them all!  For this easy chevron I used plate BM-423.

I’ve never…
