Day 6 Black and White Challenge

Color base with something white

I am titling this mani, Please Don't Stop the Music, because that is all I have been singing every time that I look down at my nails.  The best part of this mani?  I got the base at the dollar tree for fifty cents.  It came in a two pack.  Woot woot.  Not bad for the price if I do say so myself.

Base color - Midtown by N.Y.C. - 3 coats

White - acrylic paint

Not much else to say about this.  I hope that you like it.

First attempt at roses

Remember this is my FIRST time doing roses, as you can see.  And as you can see, I'm pretty much a pro at the daisies.  He-he.

Base except for ring - Jazz by Essie 2 coats

Base on ring finger - Bryant Park by N.Y.C. 2 coats

The roses, leaves, and daisies were done with acrylic paint.

I know this is a super short post but I don't really know what else to say...  Do you guys have any tips for me?

Whimsical Wet Cement

I went to the store the other day in hopes to pick up a Cinderella by Sinful Colors for a swap I am doing and of course, they didn't have it.  I decided to walk around and see what I needed ;-) and I saw the Revlon stand.   Whimsical has been making its way across my rss feed lately and to be honest I didn't see what the big deal was.  But as I held it next to my Wet Cement by Wet N' Wild that was in my clutches I though, hmmm, these would look cute over each other.  Later that day I fell in love all over again!  I now know what the big effing deal is!  I love the pink and blue hex glitter and the smaller glitter.  I do have one wish though. I wish that the blue base was a little easier to conceal because there are some spots where it pools and looks a little chunkier than the rest of the nail.

On my pointer finger I have one coat of Whimsical and two coats of it on my middle finger

I also have my Avon Smooth Beginnings base coat on

 Here is one coat of Wet Cement

Two coats of Wet Cement 

as you can see I smuged my thumb and pointer finger a little :-(

Two coats of Wet Cement and two coats of Whimsical

What do you guys think?  Have you tried Whimsical yet?  I just went to pick up a back up bottle of this and Fred Meyers was sold out.
