Man, It is Hot Here

I live in the high desert in Arizona, and boy is it getting hot. It is a dry type of heat but still... it's hot.

I am also an instagram newbie, and I have been loving it. It gives me new ideas by way of monthly challenges. This one is for the month of June (#nailartjune).

The first thing that comes to my mine for the word "summer" is the sun. And this is my nail art for the sun.

I used Essie - Orange, it's Obvious for the orange, Zoya's Creamy for the yellow and Zoya's Richelle for the gold. Then I took a skinny dotting tool and dragged it toward the gold. Not exactly how I wanted it to turn out, but it will do. Next time I will use a brush to drag it out.

Pink and Gold Stamping Skittle

A Crewed Interest by Essie has to be one of my favorite nail colors. It goes well with my skin tone, but I always have to use 3 coats to get it even.

I stamped with Bold Gold by Maybelline Colorshow and Bundle Monster (BM-221).

I am still working on my camera and picture quality. Why must it be so difficult for me. 

Spring Braided Nails

Everywhere I go, I see these colors in clothing. Such Lovely Colors.

This is what I used: for the gold, Maybelline Colorshow's Bold Gold, the mint color is China Glaze's Refresh-mint, and the coral is Barielle's Blossom.

I got a little confused on my middle. Ooopsy. I am still working on my camera, ugh.

Loves Me Not

What a pretty color! I bought this polish at Target for 94 cents! I always try to find deals, especially for nail polish.

For this mani, I used Sally Hansen's Loves Me Not, a really dark iridescent purple, and for the accent nails I used a gold glitter, Color Club. I don't know the name b/c it does not have a name. Why? For some odd reason if you buy nail polish from Ross, especially the Color Club packs, there are no names on them, What is up with that? But they are still good deals. Sorry for the blurriness, still trying to work my camera.

White and Gold Glitter Gradient

I tried a glitter gradient with the striper polishes, don't know if I like it, I might have to retry it.

I used Wet n Wild French Creme (totally hard to make even - maybe I need to thin mine), Sally Hansen Golden - I, and Stripe Rite in Gold Glitter (didn't have a name). The gold and glitter doesn't match, oh well, what was I thinking, lol.
