As Seen On Pinterest!

A couple of months ago, I posted a manicure I was wearing over the summer and it seemed to be pretty popular on pinterest so I thought I'd add more photos here and explain what I was wearing. I discovered this brand in the mall in Miami while on vacation. The brand Incoco sells really awesome nail appliques. These nail polish appliques contain a top, color, and base coat all in one, according to the label. They are actually super easy to use and lasted for a good week and a half, at least when I wore them. This color was called "Call of the Wild." Incoco Nail Appliques are available for $8.99 through their website, incoco.com, or Amazon. Also, I apologize for the poor quality - all of these photos were taken from my cell phone.


The display they had at the mall - I was so excited to try them!

My First Post!

For the longest time I have considered making a nail blog, but I have to admit I was a bit intimidated. Seeing all these amazing nail blogs out there, I was a bit leery to make a blog for my little old designs lol. Anyway, I hope that my blog will help anyone trying to decide if they should purchase a color, to see how it looks before they buy it, or maybe to just get an idea here and there what to do with the colors they have! Anyway, without further ado, here is my first post :)

I went to my local CVS yesterday and saw a new brand called "Spoiled" by Wet 'n Wild. Two colors jumped out at me - "Did I Dye it too Blonde?" and "Trust Fund Baby." So I decided to do a neon manicure with Trust Fund Baby as an accent.




                                     Left - Did I Dye it Too Blonde? Right - Trust Fund Baby



I started by taping off my nails and added Did I Dye it too Blonde? for the tips and used a dotting tool to add Trust Fund Baby Right below the line.



While the brushes are a bit thick, the formula on DIDITB was awesome. You may want to start with a white base so the neon color really pops. I started with Sinful Colors Snow On Me White. Trust Fund Baby is a little thicker, as the glitter is in a clear base. Overall, though, Trust Fund Baby is gorgeous!

End Result!


Hope you guys (or just me lol) enjoyed!
