Trying My Hand With Dotting!

Hey!
So I tried dotting the other day and I really like it! I think it needs some work and also a dotting tool would help but I think as a first attempt its pretty good. Sorry the cleanup is no good on this one. I love trying new techniques, even if it doesn't turn out great it is a challenge to make it better next time. This one took a really long time but I think it was worth it. I think next time I will try some brighter colors.  Let me know what you guys think! 

Vacation!

Hello!
Sorry I haven't posted in a while because I was on vacation! We went to the coast in California and it was so much fun! I wish we could have spent more time there because its just so beautiful. This is a mani that I did a little while ago and forgot to post. The white finger kinda reminds me of a zipper! The picture is a little bit blurry but I think you can still see it okay. Hope you like it!

Makeup Sponge Gradient Nails!

Hey there!
I wanted to try a new technique that I saw online using a makeup sponge! Maybe once I get the hang of it I will post a tutorial but it is pretty easy to do. I must really like this color combination because I realized after I did this that it looks kind of similar to my color blocking nails. But it was good for a first attempt so I know what to improve on next time. Check em' out!

Laziness, Feathers, Fun!

Hey Everybody!
I declare today a lazy day! I think everyone needs a lazy day every once in a while. My lazy days might come more often than most though ;) This morning my mom was going through her wedding pictures and it was funny to see how all my family looked in the 90s. These nails are peacock feathers and stripes! At first I made the feather purple but it didn't look right though so I made it blue instead! Its kind of a mess but I didn't really have time to fix it. I have done my nails like three times in the last 24 hours! I just can't pick one look I guess. I am getting ready for the spring challenge! Its starts in three days. I hope you guys like it! Its gonna be a lot of fun. I am so psyched! 

Fashion Statement!

Hello!
It has come to my attention that color blocking is the new trend for spring. I am not a trendy person but I have to say that these nails are pretty darn fashionable. They aren't perfect but they are good enough for me. Plus they are bright and I am a big fan of bright mani's. I might blind others with neon colors but it makes me happy! The colors not the blinding people. I also wanted to thank everyone who is reading my blog! I am almost at 400 views and that makes me totally happy! I will have to do a poll or something to let you guys choose my next project, I think you can do that. I am still new with using this contraption but I will hopefully figure it out! Enough of my random rants and more nails!

I used a white base, which you can pretty much use any brand that works for you. I used Stripe Rite in "Neon Pink" for the second layer and for the blue I used China Glaze in "Frost Bite". Then topped with my favorite top coat which is Sally Hansen's Diamond Strength. 

Black and Blue.... and a Pinch of Pink!

Hey There,

Who is above a chic striped mani? Plus, add a heart and what more could you ask for! My thumb nail broke sadly... and now it is very short and it makes me sad when I see how stubby it is! Oh well, there is no use crying over spilled milk or in this case a broken nail. It will grow back eventually but until then no laughing at my stubbly thumb ;). 

Dreaming of summer!

Hello there!

Today while watching TV I saw a beautiful beach and I couldn't help but long for summer. Sand, waves and fun.... Sigh. Can you sigh over the internet? Well if you can, I just did. So I had no choice but to put summer on my finger nails! The palm trees were pretty easy to do which surprised me. Hope you like it and thanks for reading!

Bonjour Paris!

Bonjour mon amis!
Or in other words hello my friends! I love french things, maybe not the food so much as I do not care for eating snails, but for the most part. I took my inspiration from a really cute poster I saw the other day. I have been trying to think outside the box for inspiration for my nail polish but its hard thinking outside the box! I think maybe my mind is in a box for a reason. What exactly qualifies as out of the box? The Eiffel Tower doesn't seem boxy to me. Well anyways here it is! Au revoir!

I Do Believe in Fairies.... I Do?

Hey World!

I have been wanting to do a fairy look for quite a while now but haven't really known how to go about it. I was thinking fairies in an enchanted forest but.... How do you make a regular old forest enchanted? Then I thought about fairy dust which is sparkly and wonderful! So that's what I did. Using lots of glitter is a messy job but I think it was worth it. However, I think there is glitter on everything in my living room! My fairy is just a rough draft and needs some tweaking but I think its a pretty great place to start! Click for close ups!!!

Site Seeing Anyone?

Hey guys!
I have never been to India but I am in awe of this beautiful building. I know that it isn't perfect but I don't want to mess with it and destroy what I have now :). So here is an unpolished version of the Taj Mahal! Maybe I will do Big Ben sometime or the Eiffel Tower. Even with its imperfections I hope you like it! 

A New Leaf?

Hello There

I don't really know what inspired me with this one. Possibly the glimpse of spring! Maybe I secretly have always wanted a cherry tree. Who knows! But here it is:

I used O.P.I's "I Have A Herring Problem" as the base. I used black for the tree trunk and for the leaves I blended a few colors. I blended Ulta's "Snow White", Pure Ice's "Love" and "Peonies", which are both different shades of pink. Then I used a top coat full of shine! Click for close ups! Hope you guys like it!
