I used two coats of Matte is Murder and 3 of Mayonnaise. They both have shimmer, though you can't really see it in Mayo.

Monday Mani: Black and White with ManGlaze
This week's Monday Mani theme is Black and White Only. It worked perfectly because I recently received two new ManGlaze polishes in the mail!

Fresh and Funky
Just a quick post today! I've got a little back log of manis and this is one of them.
This is Fresh Paint Square Candy (3 coats) which is a bright green jelly polish topped with a Funky Fingers Teen Spirit.
Both polishes are from 5 Below.

Fall Owl Nail Art with Sinful Colors Nirvana
Look at how cute these owl nails are!!!
I even did a video tutorial on how to do them which is over on my Facebook page and my Instagram.
The base is Sinful Colors Nirvana topped with Hit Polish Patina, a great fall glitter with copper and teal.

NOPI Khloe Had A Lam-Lam skittle mani
One of my favorite polishes of all time is Nicole by OPI Khloe Had A Lam-Lam. I'm not a huge Kardashian fan, but this darkened teal color is so great. I'm almost 1/2 way through one bottle so I'm gonna have to find another soon.
For today's mani, I added a holo topper of Hits Hefesto (the original!) then stamped using Konad Black and Bundle Monster BM305.
Born Pretty Store Review: Studs and Decals, Oh My!
I love it when Born Pretty Store/ sends stuff for me to review! They have great stuff and at a cheap price.
I received three different items this.
The first are these pearlized studs. Here's a close of just the studs. They are plenty of them and looks to be like three different sizes.
I used two of the sizes on top of Funky Fingers Kingston for this bright, fun mani. The studs have flat backs so they stick nicely to your nails.
Next I have these full size floral water decals. They apply much like other water decals so it was easy to get on. Once they dried a bit, I used acetone to gently dissolve around the edge. I applied topcoat to protect them as well. They take a bit longer to dry than other water decals likely because they are so big, hence the tiny little nick on my index. I love the image and the detail that I could in no way is freehand.
I do have to say while their are 10 decals in each sheet (one sheet per order), I had to use two for my number as they are pretty narrow. Still, they make a gorgeous accent nail like I paired up here with Sinful Colors Solar Flare.

They are soooo cute and look great over my base of Button London Bumster.

Anyway, here's my nails for August. Head over to Instagram for details.
