Teal Tuesdays: Funky French

Today's theme is Funky French, and I chose to use some teal China Glazes I have!

I used 2 coats of China Glaze Exotic Encounters as the base color, followed by China Glaze Optical Illusion applied diagonally on the tips for a funky french. :) Optical Illusion has a cool duochrome which is hard to catch on camera, but it is there, and it is cool.

Teal Tuesday: 3D Nail Art

For today's teal tuesday, the theme is 3D Nail Art! I think these came out pretty well. The accent nail did bug me, so this ended up coming off quite soon after I applied it. It wouldn't have lasted very long I'm afraid.

I did a basecoat of Zoya Bevin, and used some broken seashell looking things that I got in a pack at the Dollar Tree, similar to the seed beads. I applied the little seashells to my nail trying to achieve a mosaic tile look, but it kind of failed to smooth out at all. I ended up just doing 1 coat of topcoat on top of the nails, but for the accent nail, I did 2 coats of Gelous, and 1 Coat of Seche Vite and 1 Coat of HK Girl TC, and it was just too much for the poor topcoat to handle, so it is still very ridgy, which you can see. Also, the Accent nail didn't want to dry, so I just took photos, and the tc was still wet. (which I know is my fault for putting so many coats, but I felt it needed it. lol)

I just love Zoya Bevin so much. It is kind of more of a sea-foam green, but I wanted it to be teal, so lets pretend. ;)

Teal Tuesdays: Half Moon Mani

I recently joined a group called Teal Tuesdays! Every tuesday they publish a mani with teal and have a different theme each week. Todays theme was Half Moon! I have never done these before, so I wanted it to be awesome! I think that it did turn out awesome!

I used the Teal from Forever 21, which has a subtle micro shimmer in it, and Wet N Wild Black Creme for the half moons. I think these turned out quite well!
