Half Moon Dots

More nail art! Half Moon Dots nail art.

I used Sally Hansen Wet Cement as the base and added dots using Julep's Kristen and Hayden and Pixi Coral Cabana. Finished it off with China Glaze Wireless Holographic Top Coat!

What do you think!

For today's post, I honestly had no idea what song to pick. I had no clue. Until I looked at my desk and realized the perfect song. Like the true college student that I am, I have a solo cup near at all times. So then I thought of Toby Keith's Red Solo Cup. LOL. This song is so ridiculous. Kind of like my nails.

So here is today's manicure! And by today, I mean this should have been posted yesterday.

Down at the bottom you can watch Red Solo Cup if you have not yet heard the song, and also there is a picture of where I originally saw the beer pong outline.

Polishes Used: For my thumb nail, I used Sinful Colors Black on Black and ULTA Non-Stop Red for the lettering. For my pointer, middle and ring fingers I used Non-Stop Red, ULTA Blue Streak, and a white acrylic paint for the person and pong ball. For my pinky finger I used a Color Club red nail art and Sally Hansen Wet Cement for the base color.

Day 7 - Black and White Nails

Day 7 - Black and White

So we are officially a week in to the challenge. I want preface this post with I am not a huge fan of my mani today, but seeing as I started it at 1am last night after I couldn't fall asleep I really didn't have time to think of anything else.

And even though I wasn't a huge fan I'm uploading a million pictures because that is what I do. lol I can't help it.

As you can see it's a little different. I don't really know what I was going for. My philosophical side would like to say that to me there isn't just black and white but shades of grey as well, but thats a load of BS. I was considering a gradient I guess, but then I didn't feel like sponging, so I got lazy and just used an acrylic brush to paint the different shades.

I started with a base of Orly - Goth. Which I didn't photograph because once again I was too lazy to do a clean up in between steps. Goth is one of my favorite blacks. It has a nice silver sparkle to it that doesn't take over the color but still has a nice glisten.

Then I mixed Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's Wet Cement with Orly's Goth and some black and white until I got a dark shade of grey because strangely enough I don't own one. At least I don't remember owning a dark grey... I take that back as I am writing this I am remembering about Julep's Kim which is a gun metal but whatever.

Then I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Wet Cement.

Then a white nail striper.

Finally, I added some glitter using a silver striper to the white. Bleh.

If you keep scrolling you can see when I got bored with it and decided to add China Glaze's Wireless Holographic Top Coat.

China Glaze - Wireless Holographic Top Coat

This top coat is so pretty. I mean it doesn't really look great over this manicure, but ignore what's underneath and just focus on the magic of the holo. UGH. If I could paint my bedroom walls in this, I would. On a serious note, why haven't they made holographic paint for walls? I would have bought gallons and painted my entire house. (Mom, you're lucky they haven't made this yet because I'm serious).

Anyways this was only one coat of the Wireless Top Coat.
