NOTD: Martini Party

So this one was inspired by a t-shirt that I bought for my best friend while I was in Maui, and it's really simple. All it is, is Sinful Colors Black on Black with different colored rhinestones and then Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Celeb City for the glasses. :) enjoy!

NOTD: Disney/Pixar's Cars 2


So, as many of you may know, Cars 2 is premiering at midnight tonight (for some of you readers this may already have happened) so in about 11 hours I, along with my sister and two of our friends are headed out to see said premier, and in honor of this event, I painted my sister's and my friends Hayley and Jenna's nails to look like the famed Cars characters Lightning McQueen, Mater "Like TUH-mater...without the TUH", Sally, Ramone, Flo, The King, Chick Hicks, Sheriff, The Sargent, and Doc Hudson. I tried to do this on my own nails, but the right hand was impossible so I put pictures of my sissy's nails up instead of my own. :) enjoy!

right hand


Mater started out with OPI Shim-Merry Chic, then i free hand painted his face with white, black and green nail art pens. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Celeb City and Sally Hansen Forbidden Fudge for the headlights.




Ok so for Lightning McQueen, I started with Sally Hansen Divine Wine then free handed the face using white, teal, black and gold nail art pens.

Next up is Sally. I started sally with Essie Coat Azure, then free handed the face with white, black, gold, and teal pens. The headlights are Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Celeb City. 
Ramone started out with Ulta Celebutante, then I free handed the face white, black and teal nail art pens. 

Flo started out with Essie Turquoise & Caicos then i free handed her face with white, black and green nail art pens and used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Celeb City for her mouth and head lights.

The King started with Essie Beach Bum Blu, then i free handed the face with white, black, and bronze nail art pens.

For Chick, I started with ULTA Limelight, then free handed the face with white, black and bronze nail art pens.

The Sheriff started with Sinful Colors Black on Black, then I fre handed the face with white, and teal nail art pens. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Celeb City for the headlights and the grill. I also used ULTA Red Carpet Red for the insignia above the grill.

The Sarge started with Essie Sew Psyched, then free handed the face with white, black and bronze nail art pens.

I started Doc Hudson with Essie Mesmerized, then free handed his face with white, black and teal nail art pens. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Celeb City for the headlights and grill and ULTA Red Carpet Red for the red insignia on the grill.



My sissy and I also made cars cookies (Lightning, Sally and Mater) to celebrate :) and I think they're so darn cute! Just had to share. The original idea for these cookies came from http://family.go.com/disney/pkg-disney-recipes/recipe-1005691-cars-cookies-t/

Aloha!

So I haven't posted in over a week because I was on vacation in Maui all last week! :D It was gorgeous and amazingly fun and I hope to return many times in the future!! I went ziplining, swam with turtles, went to the Maui Ocean Center, went shopping in Lahaina, went to a luau, and got a little bit of a sunburn at Black Rock Beach haha!! Anyway, while I was there, I got a Del Sol Polish that changes color in the sun! :) I will be posting about that hopefully sometime tomorrow. But later today I will be posting a manicure in honor of my going to the midnight premier of Disney Pixar's Cars 2!!! SO pumped for this!! Be looking out for that post! :D

NOTD: Mermaid's Tears

For this mani, I started with OPI Mermaid's Tears then layered OPI Silver Shatter. Then I added some dark blue, light blue, and teal rhinestones on my thumbs and ring fingers to look like bubbles :) enjoy!

NOTD: Darling Daisies

So this one was inspired by the fact that it is now June and it is still pouring rain where I live (which is highly unusual) and I'm getting fairly pissed off about it! So this manicure reflects what I wish the weather was like :) enjoy!



I started With OPI Planks A Lot (two coats) then free-hand painted the daisies with China Glaze White on White. Just as a side note, I LOVE this new purple polish!!! The formula is great as is the standard for OPI polishes, and there are so many things you can do with this perfect hue of purple! Back to the manicure; the yellow centers are ULTA Sun-Sational and the silver accent dots are Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear: Celeb City!
