It Takes Two Mani

I call this Mani "It Takes Two" because it took two days to complete this Mani due to drying time,and if your as impatient as I am you would apply your french Mani tape before your base coat thoroughly dried,therefore pulling your base polish off along with your tape.So I decided to let my base coat dry thoroughly then I applied my guides.

I started with my base from wetnwild-Private Viewing- which is a neutral/sheer shade if applied in one coat,however I did two.
Then I waited a least three hours for the base to dry before applying my "French Nail Tip Guides"Try not to stick them on too hard,however enough so your polish doesn't bleed under the tip guide.
Then I applied one coat of wetnwild-Limelight which is an awesome shade of light almost neon green.If your wondering why the colors differ it's because I took the pic at different times of the day so my lighting changed.The above picture is exactly what the base color should look like.

Then I applied a touch of L.A.Colors-Glitter Bomb
Then apply your chevron stickers so they cover your nail,making sure they are evenly centered before patting down.I apply them this way so they are evenly spaced.
 Then carefully remove every other one.Then using the end of a cuticle pusher,push the ends down and towards your cuticles so your polish doesn't bleed under the stickers.Then apply your top coat over the chevron stickers.I chose black.Then carefully remove your stickers using tweezers.
Viola...This is my "It Takes Two Mani"

Dot Crazy

Dots happen to be one of  my favorite Mani's because they are simply the easiest Mani to create with little effort.Although I do have dotting tools I don't use them all the time when I create dots.You can use any item that has a point or a round end.
Basically with this Mani I went a little crazy with my dots creating different sized & colored dots.Just allow dry time before applying a top coat to prevent smearing.

Colorful Spring Time Dotted Mani

  1.  Start by polishing your nails two shades.I chose Broadway-Mr Right Now and Fergie-Fergie Colada
  2.  Then using your yellow shade place four dots down the middle or fewer depending on your nail length.
  3.  Then place the opposite color inside of those dots.
  4. Then repeat with other color inside the same dots.Then using a pin I applied dots down the sides.Viola you created a gorgeous spring time dotted mani.

Shiny Black & Matte Layered Mani

 Layered Mani's are one of my favorite Mani's and so simple to create.First I started with a Black Base.Any black will do.Then I applied a Matte top coat.

 Then apply your black shiny coat again,leaving a space between your polish and the cuticle.
Then just keep repeating your layers
 Then I applied some dots for the finished look

Then I decided to change it up a little so I added more dots and a clear top coat

Colorful Rainbow Dotted Mani

Since dots are one of my favorite and easiest Mani's to create,I decided to create a colorful Mani using colors from the rainbow.
I started with my base Broadway-Ascending Celine.Then applying my dots starting with the top (red)creating random sized dots.Then working my way to the tip overlapping dots to finish dotting with purple.Then I took a white polish and put dots inside of random other dots.
