Nina Ultra Pro: Mariachi

Hi all! I have a new post for you. Considering that today is October 3rd, I had to honor this special day by wearing pink, even though it's not Wednesday.

I chose Nina Ultra Pro Mariachi, a folly-colored jelly. I've only used this polish once, when I did the post on my manicure routine a couple months ago. It is really bright, and I think it flatters my skin tone. Not gonna lie, I bought this because of the name. I'm Mexican and I love mariachi music! I used 2 coats in the picture.

Nina Ultra Pro: Plum of the Earth

Hi all! I have here a new mani!

Though summer isn't *technically* over, I've seen everyone already going for the darker colors.

I used Nina Ultra Pro Plum of the Earth for the first time, and I love it! It is a pretty purple/plum creme that is perfect for fall.

Werder Bremen Nail Art

Hey all! I have more nail art - another sports team. This time it's for my favorite soccer team, Werder Bremen from Bremen, Germany. Today marked their return to regular season soccer and I could not have been happier, even though the game ended 2:2 against Hertha Berlin.

The colors I used were NYC Quick Dry High Line Green and Wet n Wild French White Creme.

I didn't take very many pictures; I did this pretty late at night and I was focused on finishing it and going to bed. It was really easy to do.

For the diamond, I cut a diamond out of painter's tape, place it on my nail, and traced along the edges with my little brush.

The heart is pretty self-explanatory - I just cut out a heart, place it on my nail and painted it, then applied a coat of Nina Ultra Pro.

This is the final result.

I messed up the W a little, and the entire design isn't centered on my nail, but I'm not too bothered by it.

Overall, I'm actually pleased with it.

Sporting Kansas City + Nail Art, Again

Hi all! I didn't get to rock my Cowboys nail art very long. There was another autograph session with Sporting KC players. This time it was with Graham Zusi (USMNT, #19; SKC, #8) and Toni Dovale (#9). It took place in Kansas City once again, at a Price Shopper.

I forgot this was happening, until Chris reminded me a few hours before we were supposed to leave. I had to shower, get ready, AND do my Sporting KC and US nail art! Needless to say, it was a rushed morning/early afternoon.

It was a mani under pressure. I didn't have the time to make mistakes, so I had to be very careful. It actually turned out well. I didn't get a picture of the whole manicure, and in case you haven't seen it, this is what it looks like.

The only difference was that instead of a 5, I had a 19, and I had a 9 on my thumb.

Dallas Cowboys Nail Art

Hey guys! I have a new mani for you! I tried something new last night, and I wasn't too pleased with the way it turned out. I thought about changing it, but since it started peeling off, I had to. I blame this on my Nina Ultra Pro Super Dry Top Coat, and I will review it soon.

I'd been wanting to try Dallas Cowboys nail art for a while, since Chris is a massive fan. I decided to try it tonight and I am quite proud of the way it turned out. Here is how I did it.

I used three colors: NYC Quick Dry Tribeca Silver, Wet n Wild French White Creme, and Sinful Colors New Wave.

After applying my base coat, I painted my nails with my base colors.

Wet n Wild mani: Ferris-Wheel Romance + Blazed

Hey guys! After my latest Wet n Wild haul, I decided to try a something new.

I have never done any of the french manicure twists, and I decided to try one today with Ferris-Wheel Romance and Blazed. Both are corals, with Ferris-Wheel being the lighter of the two.

Ferris-Wheel Romance looks very pink on me. I used two coats, but I think I should have done three. I had a little bit of a problem with leveling, but my top coat (Nina Ultra Pro) took care of that!
