More Copycat Nail Art!

Hey everybody:) Today I have some more copycat nail art I wanted to share with y'all. This mani I had seen on Pinterest and was originally done by Botanic Nails. I really loved the colors and the way the mani had a little bling to it! With my version of this mani I didn't use the pearls and too much bling (cause I didn't have it!) and think it still came out looking pretty darn good!

This mani was so pretty on that I had a lady stop me and ask where I had got it done, after I told her that I did it myself she almost couldn't pick her jaw up off the floor! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this mani!

Happy Polishing Everyone!

Mint Mani for Talia Joy ♥

Hey everybody:) Today I dedicate this mint mani to Talia Joy, along with many in the nail blogger community who have put up similar post.
Talia Joy was a beautiful young lady who recently lost her battle with cancer.

There is so much I want to say about how Talia inspired me to be a better person, but I'm at a lost for words. God sent Talia to share her passion and love with the world, mission accomplished. Every time I start to type I tear up so here is my Mint Mani for Talia Joy:)

Here is a poem I found, not sure who it is the author is to give credit.

It's hard to know just what to say,
When one so young is taken away.
Far too soon she had to part,
Her memory forever engraved in our heart.

We only knew her for a short while,
But the life she led made us smile.
She was so beautiful and oh so rare,
Life as they say just isn't fair.

Those gone before her will watch her with care,
Till the day comes when we'll all join her there.

Know Talia Joy is watching from heaven above,
And with each ray of sunshine, she's sending her love.



Happy Polishing Everyone

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!

Nail Art Wednesday......Taped Up

Hey everybody:) Today I have a super easy nail art tape mani for y'all. First off I have to share this with you... I won a Milani summer gift set that was worth $800, okay take a second to digest that...... that's right think all the pretty nail polish and tons more. I will put up a picture at the end of this post:)

On with today's mani:) I went out with my kids the other day and put on a quick coat of Milani Violet Dash, this polish is a one coat polish that is super pretty ♥ . As I was out running around like my head was cut off, I looked down at my mani and thought this needs a little something. So when I got home I looked through the new polishes I had and didn't really see the color I wanted :( But I have a small box on my work desk of polish that haven't been swatched and...you guessed it I found the perfect match, Pop Beauty 63 Mint Magic. These two polishes together are just beautiful ♥.

So here is what I did.....   On all my nails except the ring finger I put on a base of Mint Magic. Let that dry and just to be sure everything would be dry I added a top coat of Seche Vite. Then dug in my drawers and found my nail tape, if you don't have any go to ebay and find some its super cheap. I taped a cross on the top left of my nail and the painted over it with Milani Violet Dash (did the opposite on the ring finger). Super Easy Right!!!! Top coat and you are done:)
Here are the pictures:)

What do y'all think???? I love it and just think its a great combo:) And as I promised here is the picture of the Milani prize I won ( sorry its not the best), it took up most of my table, I had to stand on a chair!

Happy Polishing Everyone!
