Black Heart Beauty KSM

Hello Dahlings!
 
On my birthday I went to da mall for a lil Sephora fun, but before I got there I passed a Hot Topic & took a lil detour. I had seen da Black Heart Beauty Polishes on several blogs & wanted to get some of those cute lil skull bottles for myself.
 
Da line up: Black Heart Beauty unnamed neon purple (I couldn't find it at Hot Topic's shop ) & Cursed Nail. They went on just dandy fine but da dry time was a lil slow & I had dingage issues cuz I have a wait problem.
 
This is 2 coats of da neon. Surprisingly it didn't stain my cuticles like many neons do.
 
I've become a bit of a Kitchen Sink Manicure ho thanks to Nicole at Young Wild & Polished. She taught me that a lil randomness is a good thing! I used a round yard sale sticker to do my 1st half moon nails, a large dotting tool for da polka dots, my short striper for da 2 striped nails & chevron nail guide stickers for da thumbs. Da thumbs are where I had issues with da slower dry time of these polishes. When I pulled one of da stickers off after applying da black stripes, it pulled some of da neon polish off. Blerg. So I licked my finger & stuck da sticking up bits down then dabbed a bit of neon in da hole. A coat of Seche Vite smoothed it all out! Why can I use French Tip sticker forms, but not striping tape?
 
Hurry! You're almost out of time to enter my Birthday Give-a-way!
Thanks for stopping by!

    LOVE! might have to do a kitchen sink mani tonight. I'm not a genius in them yet like Nicole is. So jealous of her skills, and yours too!!! I always do the techniques and they look awful together hahaha.

      Thanks! Nic is da Queen of da KSM...I bow down to her magnificent self!!! I found keeping it simple w/only 2-3 colors & easy designs makes it doable...you can work up to more complicated designs as you get more comfy with da whole concept.

    i just picked up a couple of their skull polishes too, the ones that have multiple colors you arent supposed to shake/mix together. formula is pretty decent on them! and the bottles are just too cool.

      Aren't they! I read that post & was happy to learn that they aren't ruined if they mix. I got da sliver/hotpink/black stacked & so far all I've gotten is a metallic rose kind of color w/a hit of black. Oh well, it looks cool in da bottle! lol
