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!

Spring Challenge- Flowers and Stripes!

Hey Everyone,
So here is look #2. I wasn't able to get the first one done but I will be on track for he rest of this ;). I know I didn't explain the spring challenge very well so I will try to make it as simple as I can but keep in mind I am not the best at explaining things. All the rules are written here but basically I need to do five themed manicures and use the four color combinations provided. For this one I used the blue and purple. I did flowers and chevrons. But I have to pose the question: Are chevrons considered stripes? Is there such a thing as chevron stripes? I think they look like stripes. Thereby, right now they're stripes. I hope you like em! I will be posting all the other bloggers who will be participating at the end of the challenge cause people keep being added. More nails soon! Click for a close up!

Here is a full schedule:

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!

Wanna See Card Trick?

Hey Everybody,


My friend and my cousin gave me the idea for these nails. But I have to admit that I am a little distracted right now because I am seriously craving sweets! I will try to stay focused though. I am actually pretty happy with how these turned out! I had to redo the diamonds a lot though because they were all lop sided but after that it was pretty good!  More nails soon ;)

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! 

Candy Canes and Penguins

Hello!

There really is no explanation for this one except that penguins are really cute! I just couldn't resist.  They swim, they waddle, they slide on their belly's, they steal my heart! For my "non-thumb" nails I did a candy cane stripe. I think this adorable penguin needs a name..... Edward? Flipper? Waffles? OK I admit the last one is just cause I am hungry but it could be a pretty cute name! Click for larger view!

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!

Starting My Adventures!

Hello There!

I have been putting designs on my nails for quite a while. So I figured why not share my projects with the world? I love seeing other peoples ideas so why am I not sharing mine.... maybe the fear of being heckled could have delayed it for a while but now I know that even hecklers can't stop me ;). All my designs are free hand! I hope you guys find inspiration in my designs and have fun reading my adventures with nail art! 

This should be fun! Right?
