ModCloth Nail Klub Dress Challenge

2014-08-11T21:17:00.000-04:00

Because I thought it'd be cool to look thorough what seems like Thousands of Dresses online and have one inspire me I agreed to take part in ModCloth's Nail Klub Dress Challenge.. haha honestly not sure what the real name of it is but I was feeling like I needed a mini challenge and since we all know I've been pretty absent around here I decided to take the challenge. Here's a link to a few other dress inspired manicure's from Modcloth on their blog. Okay So Seriously they have hundreds of Dresses. There's a lot of inspiration to pick from for Nail manicures however I've always been a lover of white, black and red together. I love how the red in this dress is just the right amount of pop of color. I was at work and although I have a major stash of polish there I knew for a fact I wouldn't have any problems finding polishes to do this manicure with. I decided to put a Matte coat on top to mimic the fabric. I did like it shiny as well so I did throw in a picture of it all shiny so you guys can see it. I had fun and don't be surprised if you see other fashion inspired manicure from me in the future.

I'm not affiliated with ModCloth in anyway I just thought it'd be fun to participate.

Polishes used: Butter London Union Jack Black, Azature Faint White Diamond , Azature Ruby Diamond, and Nubar Matt Finish Top Coat.

Coy Makeup For Nailtini (The Lacquer Cabinet)

Press Sample

You know the good thing about not having posted for some time is I've accumulated a major backlog of nail pictures so just a heads up since I change my nail shape and length pretty often there will be a major mix of nail shapes and lengths for a while. I hope you don't mind... Will make things interesting for sure!

Okay so today I decided it was time to post something about The Lacquer Cabinet. It's a Subscription Box Service by Nailtini and for $25 a box you get three full sized polishes that are curated by special guest mixologists, Manly bloggers, make up arts, even Nail It Magazine. You can do it monthly and you can also go back and buy kits from previous months as long as they still have stock. Seriously It's a great value since the shipping is included.... now I don't know how it works for international gals but I know that is true for the US. Today's Post is a look at the collection that Coy Makeup mixed up.

Here's the descriptions off the website for the colors in this kit:

Cement Mixer - creamy pale grey with a hint of purple, reminiscent of legendary villainess Ursula’s pallor

Venom - rich, inky black shot with subtle shimmer, inspired by Sarah’s epic makeup look of the same name

Bottle Green - deep jewel green, like the bottle that holds the finest champagne and inspired by the envy and complexion of Maleficent

I did a super quick and easy "Saran Wrap/ dabbed polish on with the brush" method for these. I didn't expect these colors to look so good together but I seriously was in awe when I was done. There was so much depth to this that I kept staring at my nails a little too much... haha hence the picture of my nails and my glass of water :D No issues with the formula they went on very nicely. Here's a link to where you can find more info about this collection.

Also Be sure to be on the look out for the January Kit... Yours Truly is the special guest Mixologist that month!! Now I seriously have to figure out which three colors I wanna bring to life via Nail Polish ...

Any suggestions on polish colors you'd like to see in a collection together??
