Above the Bay

Hey everybody:) Today I have a really cool mani that I like to call "Above the Bay". I found this tutorial on Pinterest and wanted to try it out.... here is the LINK. This was harder than I thought it was going to be, but the more I practiced the easier it seemed to get.
In my mani I didn't use any beads and kinda improvised on a few things. Some colors I didn't have so I just used what I had and mix what I needed to.
Now you have to imagine that you are in a plane flying over the bay, looking down at the sand and the ocean.  Here are my pictures of Above the Bay:)

My nail didn't come out as nice as the girl on the tutorial's did but I kinda like the look:) Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this mani.

Happy Polishing Everybody!
Love,

Happy Hunger Games Everyone!

Hello everyone and Happy Hunger Games! I am so super excited about this movie its scary:) Okay so if you don't know by now The Hunger Games is a 3 book series by Suzanne Collins that was made into a movie(well the first one so far). This mani was created from the love I have for the books and the excitement I have for the movie.
I first started off by panting my nails with a grey base... I used Spoiled Polish Black Mamba, two good coats. The next thing I had to do was paint flames....READ THE BOOK, or now go watch the movie :) I used Sinful Colors Sugar Sugar, OPI Color So Hot it Berns and Pros & Bronze, Piggy Polish Sunshine Highway, and a touch of Zoya Snow White. So I know that sounds like a lot but remember you are only using a drop of polish:) The next thing that I painted was a bow and arrow... this was pretty straight forward and easy, I used SinFul Colors Nail Art  in Flower Girl. Then I wanted to used the district number some how and just ended up painting it on my pinkie with Wet n Wild Black Cream. Okay for the main artwork ..... the MockingJay pin:) This was the hardest nail to paint, I used Sinful Colors Flower Girl and OPI Pros & Bronze.... and took my time to get the pin just the way I wanted it:)

I hope you enjoy my "Tribute" to The Hunger Games!

I have to say I think my nail art is improving.... this only took me all afternoon to do, lol:) So did any of y'all read the book and if you did what was your favorite part??? I really loved the whole book, and I can't wait to see the movie and how they will bring the book to life:)
I leave you with a quote from the book......
“Only I keep wishing I could think of a way to…to show the Capitol they don’t own me. That I’m more than just a piece in their Games” -Peeta Mellark”  

Happy Hunger Games Everybody!

Hey everyone:) I know it's Black Friday and must of you are out shopping, but I wanted to show you the cutest cat ever!!!! Chococat!!!!! Now I now that everybody loves Hello Kitty but I love Chococat ♥ He is so super cute:) So I was thinking I need a cute mani to wear for Black Friday.... cause I have to work, Yak!!! Chococat was the cutest and best thing I could think of and like I said I wanted to work on my free hand nail art. These are the polishes I used Zoya Snow White/ Sweet/ and Gemma, NYC Black Lace Creme, Finger Paints Haute Taupe, Piggy Polish Sunshine Highway, Sally Hansen Stone Creme, and Nail Savvy light blue(no name). And here is the picture of Chococat!!!

10 Days of Halloween.... Day 6

We are more than half way to the day that everyone loves to dress up for... Halloween! Today's mani is a black polish, Wet n Wild  Black Pearl paired with Piggy Polish Sunshine Highway I also used a super cute black cat sticker.  Here is everything I used.

As you can see there are 5 different cat stickers you can use on your nails. The idea that I had in my head was a black cat out on Halloween night with the full moon behind her. This is another mani that you can use glow polish on, but I didn't. Here is a picture of the finished mani.

Okay I know I've been using stickers on a lot of my mani's but damn they were super cute this year! And with this mani you can change it up and do all yellow with cats , every other one with cats... I could go on and on:)
Have a great 6th day of Halloween everybody and Happy Polishing!!!
Love,

I had to channel Rhianna for this one!




The easiest way I found to do the smiley faces is with a NEW sharpie!

This next one is China Glaze in Turned up Turquoise, I got it on sale for $2.99 and had a dollar off coupon after that, Happy Days!
