Happy Hunger Games!!

Hey everybody:) Happy Hunger Games!! I love this book series and am so super excited about Catching Fire coming out today in movie theaters. Unfortunately both of my kiddos are sick and I can't go see it until they feel better, but I wanted to celebrate with everyone going to the movies today! So here is my tribute to the new movie Catching Fire!!

 
This mani has a lot of layering, here is a quick overview of what I did... I started with a black and red polish for the base, then I added the matte top coat. After that had time to dry (this was a all day thing) I started to hand paint the fire on... red, orange, yellow and last a touch of white. While that dried I painted the mochingjay, not the best work but but you get the point! Hope you have fun at the movie and love this mani as much as I do.
Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this mani and if you are dressing up you mani for Catching Fire.

Happy Polishing Everyone and my the odds be ever in your favor!
Love,

Watermelon Water Marble

Hey everybody! While I was MIA I was seeing some great water marbles out there and today I wanted to share my version of the Watermelon water marble with y'all. I first saw this on SimpleLittlePleasues YouTube page you can check that out HERE and I just feel in love!
I used Salon Perfect Sour Apples and Kiwi Lime for the green, a regular white I had around and for the red I used Milani Rapid Cherry. This took a couple of tries but I think y'all will love it ♥ So here is my watermelon water marble:)

No seeds, still really cute!

Seeds added, makes the "watermelon" !

What do y'all think of this "watermelon" water marble? I love it and think it is perfect for those summer BBQ's and pool parties! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of this water marble:)

Happy Polishing Everybody!

13 Days Of Halloween.... Happy Halloween!

Hey everybody, Happy Halloween!!! Hope y'all are having a great Halloween:) Today I have something special for y'all, The Nightmare Before Christmas! I LOVE this movie and wanted to share that love with y'all today on this All Hallows' Eve.
When I deiced to do this mani it really was a undertaking. First I had to look up pictures from the movie and then making sure I had all the colors I needed for the mani. Next I drew out a sketch of what I wanted and where the placement should be, I'm tired just thinking about it all. This was all hand done so it took quite a while (a couple of hours, from start to finish) with all the dry time that I needed.
I hope you love "The Nightmare Before Christmas" mani as much as I do, here are the pictures!

I hope y'all have a Happy and Safe Halloween! Let me know what y'all think of this mani!

Happy Halloween & Polishing Everyone!
Love,

Nail Art Wednesday.....Argyle Nails

Hey everybody:)  I have to say I'm over this summer.... the heat, humidity, and everything else that goes along with summer! It needs to get cool here fast (ha! that's a joke cause it takes forever to change seasons here in Ga) cause I'm ready for Fall! We have the football season coming up, so with that in mind I chose to do Argyle nails for today's post. These were fairly simple nails to do... not to much time, a little tape and a steady hand is all you need for these Argyle Nails:)
Here are the pictures:)

So are y'all ready for fall or what??? What do you think of the "Argyle" look? I think I really like this and am now ready for some football!!!!! GO DAWGS!!!

Love,
~Anne~
