Nicki Minaj nails

I finally found the OPI Nicki Minaj collection at my local ULTA. I bought the entire collection, but the pink one. I have a few light pinks and I don't really wear them much. I generally prefer brighter, bolder colors.
I started with a base coat and 2 coats of Did it on 'em. Then I let it dry and sponged on 2 coats Fly. With the second coat, I made sure to concentrate on the tip.

 

After a few minutes I added Save me and a top coat. Finally, I used some fast dry spray.

This is the final result. I like it, but I think it looks much better than in the photos. 

The only thing I don't like is that Save me is pretty scratchy and gets stuck everywhere (especially on fabrics).

ORLY Fuchsia French Tip

The other day I found a Sally Beauty Supplies store close to home... trouble!!! I bought a bunch of Orly polishes and I created this cool and simple design.

I know the photo is blurry, but I'm still trying to figure out the best lighting to take these pictures (and I'm not making any progress!).
This is how you can recreate this mani:
- base coat (always!!!)
- 2 coats of Orly Crush on you
- let it dry
- use tape or nail guides on your nails
- add 1 or 2 coats of Orly Passion fruit on your tips
- add Orly Shine on crazy diamond
- top coat (fast dry)
- fast dry spray or drops
You're done!
