NOTD: Minnie Mouse!

Hey Pandas!
 
I am a big Disney person, and the other day my mom and I were taking one of her friends to Disneyland to get her pass. Yay! Of course, I had to do my nails for the occasion!

 
Now, this is one of my first attempts at full-on nail art, so be gentle! Haha. Of course, this look was inspired by Minnie Mouse and her classic black, red, and white colors.
 
 
On my middle finger I painted a half circle and used a dotting tool for the ears. I then painted a red bow on top. The rest of my nails are either white, black, or red with contrasting dots. My thumb has a red bow on it. Simple but cute!
 
 
Needless to say we had a lot of fun that day, even though the park was crowded. I didn't see Minnie, but I did see her hubby!
 
 
These are the colors I used for this mani: O.P.I Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, ORLY Liquid Vinyl, and Sinful Colors Snow Me White. I also used a dotting tool and freehanded the rest.
 
Love or Hate? Do you love Disneyland as much as I do? Have you ever done Disney inspired nail art?

ORLY Cosmic FX French Manicure Kit

Nail post! Yay!

I recently fell in love with these cute little sets by ORLY:

I found this at Ulta, for $15 you get three small sized ORLY polishes and french manicure and chevron nail guides. I think it is a fun idea to package the hottest kind of nail art.

You get forty of the nail strips, 20 french and 20 chevron -- enough for four manis. But I know you can buy replacements at any beauty supply store or just use tape for the chevrons.

The three bottles are decently sized. You get a black 'Liquid Vinyl' which is what my nails are painted with there. A Top2Bottom base and top coat, and 'Space Cadet' which a cool purple/green duochrome shimmer.

See the process after the jump!



Here are my nails painted with two coats of 'Liquid Vinyl'. This is an amazing black polish by itself!

Here are my nails with the chevron guides. I painted the top part with 'Space Cadet'. The strips are a little hard to handle. Do one hand at a time. It will take longer but be less messy.

And here are the final results! Looks like the box right? This was fun and easy. And it gave me really nice looking nails.

I'm not a huge fan of the top coat because it left little dimples. So I'll just use Seche next time. No biggie. Still worth it for the kit and the other two polishes.

Final Thoughts: These came in other color combos as well. If you like this look, seriously check these out! ORLY makes great polish.

Price: 9/10
Staying Power: 9/10
Packaging: 8/10
Color/Wearability: 10/10
Quality/Branding: 10/10

Total: 46/50 = A = Pandamonium!

You can also do half moons with the french guards! What is your fave type of nail art right now?
