Coral & Gold

Hello,

Today's post is using my favorite color this spring. I am so into coral colors teal and gold. I absolutely love the combo of all three or even each by itself. Today I went with a coral cream color and a glitter fade on top. The glitter I used is from Floss Gloss this is my go to for gold glitter. It has a holo hue and the glitter goes on perfectly with just 2 coats. It's $8.00 for .18 fl oz. which seems a lot for the quantity but, it's the quality that counts.

 

I absolutely loved this look. I wish I would have taken a better picture that captured the holo in the glitter. My pictures didn't do this polish justice.

Colors I used

Julie G "Bikini"
Floss Gloss "Stun"

Spring Swirls

Hi there,

It's been almost a month since my last post. My computer has been temperamental. Anyways, I did this swirly design using some pastel colors for that fun spring look. because of how much I loved my Easter nails I wanted to go with a matte look again. I'm glad I did because these looked awesome!

 

I used a dotting tool to get this look. You could also use a tooth pick or thin brush. I used just polish on this design. I try not to use acrylic paint because I feel like it's cheating for some reason. I know I'm weird.

Well I hope you like.

Colors I used

Sinful Colors "Savage", "Unicorn", "Beautiful Girl"
Sally Hansen "Green with Envy"
Essie "Play Date"
China Glaze "Matte Magic"

Easter Nails

Here again this time with my Easter Nails. Since my nails aren't shaped as eggs I went with an egg pattern with a white border. I think that these are sooo Easterish. I decided to matte them out because it made them look more like an egg. I love how these came out.

Its basically a tribal print on pastels (Lines, zig zags, and dots) Super Simple.

I used acrylic paint again. The White and pink base colors are polish though. For the White I used Nina Ultra Pro "French White" and Sinful Colors "Beautiful Girl" And I used China Glaze "Matte Magic" for the top coat

Honk Jr.

Hi Peeps,

Today I am posting some nails that I did on myself a couple of weeks ago when my daughter was in her School Musical "Honk Jr". This musical is about the Ugly Duckling. I used the logo that was used for the t-shirts as seen below...

I originally wanted to try to do the whole picture across my nails but, my nails aren't long enough.

I decided to break the picture apart and do the lettering on my four fingers and then the egg with the "JR" on my thumb.

I was really happy with how these came out. I used acrylic paint on top of polish just to try out again. The acrylic paint was easy to use and as long as there is a nice coat of Seche Vite on top then it last as long as any full polish design I've ever done.

Base Color I used

China Glaze "VIII"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Minecraft Nails

Soooo, I have been playing minecraft lately with my cousin and my kids . Because I have an obsession with nails and now, this game I have decided to combine the two.

 

 

This is what I came up with ...

 

 

 

 I will have to attempt this again using cleaner lines. It would probably be easier to use acrylic paints but, I liked the challenge of using nail polish.

Anyways... I hope you like :)

Stars & Rays

Hello Hello!

Today I have a quick post on my mani from yesterday. I was in the mood to use my fave colors. I was kinda tired of seeing fall and Christmas colors. I wanted something to brighten up my day.

 

I love these. They are totally my style...


The stripes or "Rays" are done freehand using a stiper. The stars are some with a stamp using Shany Stamp Plate SH214. I am so happy to have this plate because I love stars and I can never get them just right. This plate gives perfect little stars on the whole nail.

I also used 3 of my favorite colors... pink, teal, and purple.

Colors I used:
Cover Girl "Violeta Immortal/Violet"
Santee "Beach Blue" and "Sheer Purple"
Sinful Colors "Time Off"
So Easy "Black"
