Hi everyone!
I'm a little late on the bandwagon but I've finally done my version of the Hunger Games manicure :)
I used China Glazes collection ( of course lol) in Electrify and Stone Cold.
I'm a Mommie and student who loves being a Mom first, along with zombies in all shapes and forms, and lastly but certainly not least, I love doing my nails, mine and anyone else's I can get ahold of :) The Charm of Nail polish, is about just that, how something as simple as polishing your nails can be a calming 'charm', a way to escape for a few minutes and pamper yourself.

Hunger Games 'Girl on Fire'
Lace and corset
Here we have my first attempt at lace and a corset mani. Not a great success but not a complete fail either because I did get some practice :)
I used Sinful Colors in Ciao Bella a very pretty blue with some very nice glitter in it and then NYC in Cashmere creme.
Used a dotting tool and a white stripping brush for the details.
I have a friend who wants a sneaker or corset mani, Kelly I promise I'll do much better on yours :)

Tree nail art
In the attempt at one thing it turned into another lol.
So I went with what the paint seemed to want to do, and got a forest/tree theme :)
Hope you all had a great day!

Springy stripes
Hi Everyone!
Hope it was as pretty a day where you are as it was here :)

Thanks for looking and hope you have a great evening!

Sinful Colors Sugar Sugar
Hi! For today I used Sugar Sugar which is a great red with some glimmer to it. And then I added some flowers with China Glaze White on White, they turned pinkish, but I kinda liked the effect :) added a little Dollishpolish in 'I wanna do bad things to you' for some glitter and there you have my entry for the Purple Fairy Challenge 'Big Flowers' day tomorrow.
Hope you like it! :)

China Glaze For Audry and Sinful Colors Olympia
Sorry I missed a couple days, but I was off having a couple days to learn and grow as a mama :)
The For Audry is a great blue and just right with the pale green of Olympia for a fun summertime mani, which the last few days have felt like is well on its way! :)
You may notice my nails are not all the same lenghts anymore. I decided to soak off my acrylics and let my nails relax for a bit, hopefully grow out some too :)

Pure Ice 'Kiss me here' and Essie 'shine of the times'
The Pure ice is a nice creamy grey and the irridesent of the Essie with the gold and pink goes really nicely with it I think. I topcoated with Seche Vite to add to the shine
What's on your nails today? :)
