NOTD: China Glaze Strawberry Fields

On today's nails I have China Glaze- Strawberry Fields. This polish is a really pretty summery pink color with micro gold glitter that creates a beautiful sheen in natural light. I wasn't able to capture this in pictures, but went along with the color scheme and added an ombre effect with gold glitter!

• I applied 2 coats of strawberry fields, the polish is completely opaque and streak free at this point. 
• Then I applied a first coat of glitter {make sure the brush has as little polish as possible} to 3/4 of the nail.
• I applied another coat of glitter to the top 1/2 of the nail {this coat can have a little more polish than the first}
• I finished it off with a final coat of polish to the tips only. 

This might be my favorite pink polish after Chanel's April.

Hope you have a great week!

NOTD + Baseball

I had an exciting weekend, I bought more CM Nail Art polishes, gave myself a cool manicure, and saw my favorite rookie baseball star Mike Trout! <3 {get ready for loads of pictures!}

Let's start with some Nail Art:

 The final product: #27 for the my favorite Angels' Mike Trout :)

•  I started out with a base coat of red polish, then added glitter and finished it off with 2 more coats of red polish. Result... 

Jelly Sandwich!

The sandwich gives off a multi-dimenional look I really like!

• Next I took my red CM Nail Art polish and added 2 semi-circles followed by lots of small lines to create the baseball.

• Finally, I drew the A and the 27 (freehand, using logos I found on Google as my guide) in Blue, then added Red over that. 
• I finished the A off with a grey Halo- I used a shorter brush in order to get the rounded effect more precise.

I realize that the 27 could have used a second attempt... but I blame it on having a strictly dominant left hand and being too excited to see the final result!

Moving on to Game Day pictures:

My Rally Monkey didn't make it to the game, 

  she had other engagements. I forgot her :(

Mike Trout!

And the Angel's won, until next time  Trout!
