Tangerine Burst Manicure

Right up my alley! Bright, Cheery, Polka Dots and Flowers!  But first let’s talk about my Acrylic Nail.  When I cut my nails a little while back, I cut my right hand down a little shorter than I had wanted.  One of the running themes of my blog is my OCD and being so, it bothered me that my right hand so was different from my left. So I decided to buy an Acrylic Nail Kit. I found one on Amazon for 11.79 plus 3.29 Shipping. Of course being Amazon, the price has changed since I bought it last week. I don’t get it.. but now it is listed at 15.25 with Free Shipping. Here is the Link. This kit is really good. It came with everything you need. I had watched some videos online so I could prepare, and the instructions that come with it aren’t bad. I just did my pinky nail and I think it came out great.  Below are my results. Now onto my Tangerine Burst Manicure! My original plan was to do a Black Matte layer with a layer of shiny black over it. I have wanted to play with a Matte finish for awhile, so why not? When I sat down to do my nails, I just wasn’t feeling the black at all. Out pops my Tangerine Burst nail polish. The color was so bright and cheery, I couldn’t resist it. It goes on pretty smooth. I did 2 coats and just drooled over the color. It takes awhile to dry so keep that in mind if you use this polish. The Colors I Chose to Work With This Time Were :   Kleancolor #249 Tangerine Burst : 2 Coats - Base Color Jordana #90 White : Stamping Color Seche Vite Top Coat : 1 Coat – Top Coat. Stamping Plates :  Cheeky CH12 and Cheeky CH6 I cruised Nail Art on Google Images to get some ideas. I found one I really liked and decided to do my own spin on it. This was the image I found.Which is from http://prettynaildesigns.org. I liked the idea of a half painted nail, and I honestly never would have thought of covering it with a nail stamp. I don’t have my colored gems etc yet and I wanted to keep it simple anyway. So that was my inspiration. I wanted to do something without any glitter because honestly, I just needed a break from the horrible process of trying to remove it all. I love Glitter, but not always. Plus this one didn’t really need any I thought. It looks amazing in the sunlight. You can't help but notice it. It's so simple but so lively.  Poor Thumb nail never gets to be seen,  so I took a special picture. LOL Shine On! Jaided UPDATE : The acrylic nail has been on for 5 days now with no issues. I have added and removed polish from it a few times now and it is still firmly on and in tact. Pretty good I say.
