Acid grunge wash- inspired by tutorial

My ruffian mani, while I liked it, quickly bored me and I really wanted to try out the acid grunge wash look I'd seen on Just Tis Ems blog here, so I did, I used some pretty bright colors (China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, Sinful Colors Innocent, Sinful Colors Hazard over Revlon Royal and Sinful Colors Dream On). Innocent (the green) didn't really show up as much and that kind of bummed me out, but I still was super pleased with the results.

What do you think? Have you tried this look?

Neon Ruffian

I'm home from school! So I should have more time to post. Good news is, I'm only four manis away from being up to date with my blog.

I've seen the Ruffian mani around the internet and wanted to try it out. It's been bright and sunny, so I wanted to do something bright too. Who am I joking, I always want to use bright colors all the time. Hahaha.

Here's my Ruffian mani using Sinful Colors Dream On and Revlon Royal. Layering Royal over Dream On did darken it up a bit, but it ended up alright.

What on earth are all those little specks!? They only showed up on camera. Hmm....

There is a part two to this mani (I get bored easily, lol) that should be up later tonight.

Wet n Wild Silvivor with dots!

I got some new dotting tools in the mail a while ago and decided to do a dot-only design. Here's what I came up with!

Two coats Wet n Wild Silvivor with Sinful Colors Dream On and China Glaze Aquadelic

I don't think it's half bad, for my first try. I'm sure I'll get better as I use them more. It was more difficult to get uniform dots than I thought!
