Purple and Blue

I love the way this one came out! I was originally going to cover it with strips of tape and put black on top so the purple and blue would show through, but I scrapped the idea. It looked great over the purple side, but the blue was hard to differentiate from the black.

First I painted my whole nail with two coats of Sinful Colors Dream On. Then I taped off half of my nail, and put one coat of Revlon Royal, then I finished with Seche Vite.

Hope you guys like it!

St. Patrick's Day Mani!

Hi Everyone!

Soooo, it's definitely been a while since my last post....but, I've still been doing my nails and photographing the evidence! Haha. This was the look I did for St. Patricks Day. It's my re-creation of the four leaf clover water marble that Colette from mysimplelittlepleasures.blogspot.com did.

I love the way it came out! If I remember correctly, the colors I used were the following:

Dark green: China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald
Medium green: China Glaze Four Leaf Clover
Light green: Essie Navigate Her

I hope you guys like it!

Thanks for reading.

Rose Teacups!

Hi Guys!

I'm really excited about this manicure. It came out so delicate and pretty. It reminds me of elegant teacups.

This is 3 coats Essie Marshmallow as the base. The colors of the roses are Revlon Love That Red, Revlon Cupid, and Sinful Colors Snow Me White. The leaf color is China Glaze Four Leaf Clover and China Glaze Liquid Leather for the black stripe through the center. Then, I just topped the whole thing off with a coat of Seche Vite.

I've only done freehand nail art maybe a couple times, if that, so of course this isn't perfect, but I'm pretty happy with the way it came out.

I hope you guys liked it!

Rainbow Sherbet Nails

Hi Everyone! This is a patchwork mani I did using three colors. I got the idea from Chloe's Nails. For a tutorial on how to do patchwork mani's, check out http://chloesnails.blogspot.com/ . She has a full tutorial on there and it's amazing! I messed up the placement of the purple on my ring finger, and by the time I realized it, it was too late, so oh well!

The colors I used are Essie Splash of Grenadine for the pinky-purple color, Tart Deco for the peachy orange, and Navigate Her for the pistachio green. I showed my boyfriend and he really liked it! He said it looked for very 80's, but in a good way. I agree, but the main theme it reminded me of was candy or popsicles and then right as I was about to make this post...BAM! Rainbow Sherbet! That's it!! I really love the way this came out and I hope you guys really enjoy it too.

Gray Skies...Half Moon Mani

Hi guys!
Here is my first attempt at a half moon mani. It didn't come out as well as I would've hoped, but oh well, thought I should show it anyway. Oh, and please ignore the horrible dent I made in my ring finger. Oops!

For this I used Essie Lapis of Luxury and Sally Hansen Wet Cement. Because the blue is so sheer and you have to put on several coats for it to be opaque, I put Sinful Color's Snow Me White down first, which explains the white parts you can see in the photo. Also, sorry about the lighting! I'm going to work on it, I swear.

Catching up (part 2)....

Here's part 2 of my mani's from the past year.

(same as above, only taken inside)

Catching up... (pic heavy)

Hi guys! I have a lot of pictures I've taken of my mani's (and even pedi's!) over the past year, so I just thought I'd pick some of my favorites and post them all here as a starting point. I've gotten inspiration from other bloggers and I think you'll see some of that come through in my photos. Such as using something as simple as tape in my mani's that I learned from http://chloesnails.blogspot.com/. Her work is amazing and she's probably one of my favorite nail bloggers. Check her out!

Without further delay, let's go! Hope you like them! : )
