These nails were inspired by a skirt in the January 2012 issue of Cosmopolitan. The skirt is the Techno Stripe Knit Skirt from Cut25. For these nails, I started with two coats of Love & Beauty - light grey. Then, I taped off the bottom of my nail and painted Pure Ice - Flirt Alert on the tips. After removing the tape, I made the blue and yellow stripes with a fine-tip brush using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Pacific Blue and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Mellow Yellow. Next, I used the Salon Perfect Nail Liner in Black to create the black at the base of the nail and the black stripe down the middle. Finally, I finished with a coat of Seche Vite topcoat.

I have a ton of glitter nail polish, and I could not decide which one to use for the challenge. It also took me a really long time to find the right combo for a look that I really liked. Here are all the variations I tried, but the last one is the last one I did and also my favorite.
This is two coats of Sephora - Vintage Sweater followed by two coats of Forever 21's Love and Beauty - Multi Glitter Nail Polish, which has red, silver, blue, and fuchsia glitter:
This is two coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Strobe Light:
This is two coats of Wet n Wild - FuchsiaRama followed by two coats of Nicole by OPI - Rainbow in the S-Kylie:
This is two coats of Pure Ice - Super Star followed by two coats of Nicole by OPI - Rainbow in the S-Kylie:
And, finally, my favorite....two coats of Essie - Borrowed & Blue followed by two coats of an unnamed blue and purple glitter polish from Claire's Precious Metals set...

More nail stamping! I'm going to Chicago tomorrow and I just wanted something cool and simple..and this is what I came up with. First, I applied two coats of love & beauty - light grey (got this from Forever 21). Then, I made the design using Essie - Mezmerised and BM02! This was so simple and took no time at all!
