Tropical Gradient

Wow, I have been gone for a long time. So much has happen. I have moved twice, gotten back with the ex, been laid off from my job, and working somewhere new. I have not really painted my nails in a long time , but this new place feels like home and I am inspired again.

I saw this post somewhere else and loved the colors and tried to recreate it my way. Whomever did this I wish I could extend the credit. I had it in my to try folder for so long that I don’t remember what I searched to find it.

Heart Glitter Placement

I can’t believe Valentines Day is only 5 days away. The bar I frequent is also having another Prom theme on Saturday so I get to go  prom dress shopping too.  My original mani was going to be such a cool fancy affair, but I got lazy and messed up my nail so I did the simple and easy approach. I did a red and pink gradient with heart glitter placement with my new polish.

So I have been bringing my nail polish with me to pool lately planning to do my nails and one of my friends got inspired to do her own nails.

Baby it’s Cold Outside

I’m alive after surviving a 24 hr snow storm. My town received between 3-4 inches of snow on Saturday. I am not a snow person, but the boyfriend convinced me to go out in it with him and we took some pictures while we were out.  My alley where I parked my car is still now plowed so I have been having to get rides to work.

In honor of the snow I decided to do some icicle nails for the first time. They turned out ok, but I could of done more to make them pop.

Rainbow Bright

I don’t know what happen, but I felt a strong urge to do some rainbows on my nails. I didn’t want to do the same thing over and over so I did different rainbow themes on each nails. My favorite nails are my thumb with the gems and my ring finger with the tape mani.

Scattered Seashells on the Beach

Hello All,

 

I am so happy I am in a nail mood again and am painting my nails more frequently. Don’t worry my life is still a mess, but my nails don’t have to reflect that. I decided to do some beach nails inspired by my new nail polish called Shattered Seashells that I picked up and Five Below.  The mani came out surprisingly well and people knew what it was when I showed them so that always is a plus. I love how the glitter polish looks just like crushed seashells on the beach.

Pink and Purple Nails

Sometimes simple is better. I got new polishes at Five Below and want to use them right away. I decided to paint each finger an opposite color and it look nice that I did not add glitter or a design. I might go home and add something later just to jazz it up.

Pink and Red Cheetah Print

I still have not gone out and bought new  tips so  I can do acrylic manicures so I am using the full nails that I had left over from a long time ago. They barely stay on longer than a day, but I can paint them and take a picture before they start popping off.

Cheetah Print over fiery gradient

Yay, 1st post of the new year and it is a beautiful one.  I say some cool nail art online with neon polish and was bummed when I could not find my Highlighter yellow, either someone stole it or I lost it. I worked with what I had and tried a different approach to a gradient then I normally do and it turned out great. My nails looked so cool that my roommate asked me to do hers in gold and black.

Giavanna’s dragon nails

I finally got to do my daughters nails again. She rarely ask me and it kills me as I have all of these polishes and ideas for her and she would rather paint her nails herself. I used a shimmery gray background that she picked out and my gold dragon decal stickers. It was her idea to add the red gems in the corner.  New Years is a 80’s/90’s theme. I’m not sure if I am participating yet order not, I had a outfit all picked out for a regular new years. If I can’t find a neon tutu and some neon leg warmers to go over leggings I am going to dress regular.

Very Purpley over Where is my Czechbook

I have not done many Christmas themed manis this year and it maybe due to I’m not really in the Christmas spirit. The weather right now is 73 degrees and we have not had snowfall yet, not that I’m complaining. My basement flooded this am so I am really not in a festive mood. My mani was simple I just layered my new Funky Fingers glitter over light blue polish and viola!

O.P.I- Where’s my Czechbook
