Owl Nail Art

Hey everybody:) Today I have some super cute nail art .... Owls! I know that everybody and their grandma's have done these, but I wanted to wait until autumn rolled around to try this cute nail art:) I used a ton of Zoya polish for this, I wanted all the owls to be different colors so it really took a little bit of time to complete but I think they were worth it. Here are my pictures:)

I just love these cute owls:) I think one would be great as an accent nail or just do your whole mani owls! Leave me a comment and tell me what you think of these owls, maybe which one is your favorite. Just wanted to share this last picture of how I really wore this mani ♥ .

Happy Polishing Everyone!

Pink Lemon-aide Mani

Hey everybody:) Today I have a really cute mani that I like to call Pink Lemon-aide! I saw this mani first on Pinterest and just fell in love. It really is perfect for summer, BBQ's, pool parties and just about everything that has to deal with warmer weather!
I started this mani with Zoya's Micky and then got my nail art supplies out and went to work. For the lemon I used Zoya's Darcy and Snow White... same goes with the dots. Not too hard maybe a low to medium level of nail art (if you have a steady hand than this will be super easy!). Here are my pictures :)

So what do y'all think? I love them and even my daughter loves them (and that is saying something, lol). I really can't wait for it to get warmer and summer to be here already!

Happy Polishing Everybody!
Love,

Sail Away!

Hey everybody:) Today I have a really cute mani I did in honor of fleet week, sad to say that fleet week was cancelled do to the cut backs (BOO!). Anyway, many of you might remember a mani I did last year called Ahoy... I loved that mani as many of you did too.

Here is a picture of that mani and this is the LINK.

So for a while I have wanted to do something along the lines of  a nautical theme. I had drawn some ideas earlier this year and set the notebook aside, well while I was cleaning off my desk I found the notes. I got started choosing colors and what I wanted to do (exactly). I used Zoya Snow White for the tips and the wheel, and used a sparkly red from Hot Topic for my accent nail and the red lines.

I hope y'all enjoy this new mani I call Sail Away :) This is dedicated to all the men and women that serve this country and put there lives on the line for our freedom, Thank You!

So what do y'all think of this new nautical themed mani? I'm loving it, I really love the fact that I found a way to wear a red in the spring/summer time:)

Happy Polishing Everybody!

Facebook Follower ....... Fan Brush Mani

Hey everybody:) Today I have a fan brush mani for y'all. Yesterday I asked our followers on Facebook what they wanted to see, and you get what you ask for here (for the most part anyway, lol) "Fan Brush Mani" for my Facebook followers!
I wanted to do something bright and pretty and started out thinking green would be nice and tried it out and... YUCK! It turned out so bad that I only did one finger. But lucky for y'all I was eating strawberry Nerds from Easter and loved the pink and white on the box.
I started out with a white base of Zoya Snow White, used Zoya Ali next... all I did was dipped my fan brush in the polish and with a light hand brushed from one side of my nail to the other. After that I topped it off with a light brush of Zoya Raven, this to me really brought the mani together. So here is my fan brush mani for y'all, I hope you love it as much as I do♥.

OMG! I love these colors together and I loved doing this mani for y'all ♥ . Leave me a comment and tell me what you think!

Happy Polishing Everyone!

Step By Step..... A Taped Mani

Hey everybody:) Today I have a taped mani that I think your going to love ♥  I wanted to go through my steps of what I do with tape and how I use it :) This mani really did turn out better than I hoped and I really think it might be a great way to accent a nail maybe not the whole set but defiantly one:)

Step 1:
Paint a white base coat, I used Zoya Snow White. After a minute I put on Seche Vite fast drying top coat, this for me helps with not pulling the polish up when I pull off the tape.







Step 2:

This picture shows the tape of a mani that I didn't like :(

Cut tape and place where you want it. *Remember that the tape covers the base coat, so when you pull it up white is going to be there.

Step 3:
Paint, this is the part some people hate. You have to be really careful and paint between the lines. I did my Maybelline Sunset Prisms first and then painted Milani Pool Party. As you can see in the picture I skipped a section, I just wanted this big whit strip at the bottom. And yes it is a little messy but it is worth it:)






Step 4:
Remove your tape. Be careful, I used a tweezers and pulled from one side to the other.


Step 5:

Step five is really just clean up and top coat and your done! I added a gold stripe in the middle of this mani ♥










Here are the final pictures of this taped mani:)

So what do y'all think??? I love this,  I'm so ready for warmer weather (warmer not hot!) Leave me a comment and tell me what you think:)

Happy Polishing Everybody!

I love Christmas Water Marble

Hey everybody:) Today I have for y'all a water marble inspired by Cristina from Let them have Polish! She did and awesome water marble last year that I've been wanting to try forever, so this is my version of her water marble. Click HERE to see her water marble.

Okay for starters I have none of the colors she used, so I had to rummage through my drawers to find the colors I needed. This was the longest day ever... I had to try the colors and then change one for another and so on and so on. So finally after my kids got home from school I found what I wanted to use and these are the pictures of my Christmas Water Marble!

 Okay so what do y'all think?? I love this and I'm going to wear this mani for our family Christmas party and Christmas day!

Happy Polishing Everybody!

Christmas Nail Art

Hey everybody:) Today I have a mani that was inspired by all those old Christmas movies, like Rudolph the Red nose Reindeer, Santa's coming to town, and Frosty the Snowman. I loved watching these movies when I was growing up and luckily this year they have all been on so my family (the kids) can enjoy them :)
Here are the pictures of my mani:)

Oh yeah baby, I ♥ Christmas! So all this is done free hand and with the tree I used nail art tape. These are so cute I can't stand it!
Leave a comment and tell me what you think of this Christmas mani. I think it is one of my favorite mani's this year!

Happy Polishing Everybody!

13 Days of Halloween.... Day 12 Mummies

Hey everybody:) Today I have a super awesome water marble to share with y'all.... Mummies! Now I first saw this over on Colette's YouTube page, SimpleLittlePleasures . Check it out cause she is the reason I love to water marble:)
First I want to show you the water marble alone and just how beautiful it really is by itself. Here are my pictures:)

After that had time to dry, I painted on the mummy eyes. I did my eyes near the tips of my nails, but you can put them just about anywhere on the nail you want.

These are super cute!!!! I love that they just scream Halloween!!!! Are you planning on dressing up this year, if so what are you going as???

Happy Polishing Everyone!
