Random Nail Art

Hi all I had a few ideas for prom but I never go around to posting it so I have changed it to Random Nail Art...Here it is..

First up is China Glaze Angel Wings for tips. Simple but beautiful.

Next up is a base of China Glaze Mega Bite...I then put some striping tape down (uneven on purpose) and covered it with Wet N' Wild Black Cream.

This is China Glaze Mega Bite as a base a few dots done in Black Cream by Wet N' Wild then a dot of Mega Bite over the middle dot. I used a dotter but I know you can find so many things you have laying around the house to do this one if you don't have a dotter (a pen or pencil, toothpicks just to name a few).

This one I started of with Black Cream by Wet N' Wild and I then dragged Mega Bite with a nail art brush from my cuticle area to the tip of my nail.

What do you think? 

Stripes and Sponge with a little bit of Holo.

Hi all today I have for you a Sponge Mani with an accent of stripes!
I started this mani with picking my colors Turned Up Turquoise (CG), White on White (CG),  Black Cream (WNW) and Mercury Twilight (Layla). I started off with a white base and sponging TUT on top...I mixed TUT with a bit of WOW for my lighter sponging color, and BC with TUT for the darker color. I then sponged a bit of Mercury Twilight on top to pull in the holo from my accent nail. 

I really liked how this turned out with the holo stripe that I added a bit sponged on the rest of my fingers.
Are you ready for Summer? We have had high temps for the past week up into the 80's and it's only spring...I'm kind of dreading the temperature of this summer but I really am ready for more bright colors.

Santa and Friends

Hello everyone today I have a bit of Nail Art. I was happy with the out come as I'm not great with free hand art. I started with my base of China Glaze Secret Per-Wink-Le...I free Handed a jagged line in white on my pinkie and thumb nails then used my dotter and made random snow dots. The wreathe is made with China Glaze Mistletoe Kisses and the ribbon and berries on the wreathe are Adventure Red-Y. 

For the snow man I used a white, and 9.0.2.1.Orange for the nose, China Glaze Sugar Plums for the scarf, Wet 'n Wild Black Creme  for the hat-eyes-smile, China Glaze Mistletoe Kisses for the sash on the hat, China Glaze Call of the Wild for the arms.

Santa was made with Adventure Red-Y for the body-mittens-hat, White for the puff on his hat-mittens and beard, Wet 'n Wild Black Creme for his eyes and a nude color for his face.

I really did enjoy making these on my nails!
I hope you have a wonderful day.

13 Day's of Halloween.... Day 10 Ghosts

Hey everybody:) Today I have a mani inspired by some of my kids old school crafts....ghosts! I was going through some old papers the other day and came across a old school picture my son created for me. It was little ghost done with finger prints....hmmm, this really got me thinking; I can do this for a mani! I got to work and started off with black then matted it, after that dried I took my pinkie and dipped it in white and pressed it onto my nails. And because it's Halloween I made it glow with a little glow polish, dotted the eyes and mouth ....DONE! super easy and really cute! Here are my ghostly pictures:)

And you know I like it when it glows!!!

So tell me what y'all think of these ghostly prints:) I think they turned out really cute!

Happy Polishing Everyone!

Two for one!

Hi everyone today I have for you a simple and easy way to either spice up a manicure or fix tip wear easy...I started this manicure with Blue Wants to be a Millionaire..I liked it but I wanted to do a fade so I put Hannah Pinktana on top but only half on my nail as you can see from the pictures...this was quick and easy and very pretty! 

These two polishes blended real well...the photos just don't show how well. 

What would you like to see next maybe for Nail Art Wednesday? Watermarble, Gradient, Stamping? Let us know! If you have a color you would like used feel free to let us know that also! ^_^

Nail Art Wednesday: Dots

Hi everyone! Today's Nail Art Wednesday is brought to you by Kat over at The Kracked Kat. She showed me this picture from this blog and told me to get to it. ^_^ So I said what the hay I can do this but I told her "you have to do one also!" Joint adventure accepted ...so we both got to work and here is what I came up with! My first picture is taken on a cloudy day where we where about to have rain (a whole afternoon of rain little did I know). So I couldn't capture the manicure like I wanted because it was very dark out. Here it is!

The colors I used above are O.P.I.- Fly, China Glaze- In the Lime Light, Flying Dragon, Flip Flop Fantasy, Pool Party.

So I figured I'd wear this for a bit and take pictures the next day! Boy was I wrong came in and BAM banged my new manicure with the door and messed it up! But I figured I had a few good pictures >.< nope but I do have that one to show you!

So I Started over another day doing the same manicure but with a brighter purple so it would pop more...and on accident I grabbed another blue (they are right next to each other in my melmer so I just picked up one)

The colors I used in this one are O.P.I.- Suzi Says Feng Shui, Finger Paints- Pop Art Purple, China Glaze- In the Lime Light, Flip Flop Fantasy, Pool Party.

I really love how each color just pops over the black!

Now Here is Kat's isn't it lovely! I told her that I will be copying this in the future...I hope you will check out Kat's post!

I love both looks so much! I need to get some more use out of my neon's before fall starts.

Are you still rocking summer colors or are you ready for fall colors?

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!

I had a play day :D

Hello I hope everyone had a good weekend! ^_^ I put on Manglaze Mayo the other day while I had sun I was hoping to try out a few different things out that I had running around in my head...then my sister came over and showed me a thing or two on PicNik and I played around with that...so before you go right to the pictures I couldn't tag everything in the "labels" area so I will list that after the pictures ^_^

Thanks to Jeanie over at Midnight Manicures I got me thinking the other day about some of the posts I have done...and I said why not play around while I have sun!

So I wasn't going to post this but obviously I didn't clean it up that well...that is where most of the playing in picnik was ^_^
With a base of Manglaze Mayo--
On my Index finger I put down tape then with an angled tiny brush I used these polishes- Orly Fabulous Flamingo, FingerPaints Lavender  Highlight  mixed with China Glaze White on White, Zoya Robin mixed with White on White, Zoya Pippa mixed with Color Club I Always Get My Man-Darin.

On my Middle finger- O.P.I. Yoga-ta Get This Blue!, Wet n' Wild Saved by the Blue and Buffy the Violet Slayer, Orly Purple Crush mixed with China glaze White on White, China Glaze White on White mixed with Color Club Tangerine Scream, Color Club Tangerine Scream mixed with I always Get My Man-Darin, Zoya Pippa mixed with China Glaze White on White. *upper part of my nail I used-- Zoya Robin then I mixed some Zoya Robin with China Glaze White on White and layered that on top.*

On my Ring finger- Essie Braziliant (by my cuticle), Super Bossa Nova (on the middle of my nail), Meet Me at Sunset (on the tip of my nail) *after applying (brushing these on and not letting them dry) these I took a square brush dipped in pure acetone and I wiped the brush from my cuticle out.

On my Pinkie finger- Color Club Wicked Sweet, What a Shock!, Volt of Light. After applying these in an L shape with the bottom of the L towards my cuticle with my just the corner towards my other nails having Volt of Light on it after that I put Wet n' Wild Saved by the Blue over everything and then I wiped most of that away with with a square brush dipped in acetone.

When I was done I topped everything with a nice shiny top coat! I love everything I tried out! I showed Anne everything when and she told me that my index finger looks like tie-dye! I agree but I was going for a sun rise. With my middle finger I was going for a sun set. ^_^ For my ring and pinkie I was trying something I saw done with different colors and I really REALLY like the way my ring finger came out! I think I will be trying these again maybe with different colors..

So what new manicure design have you tried lately?

♥ Rainbow Flakie Nails ♥

Hey everybody! I have for you today a spectra flair car inspired mani done with Finger Paints Special Effects:) While I was going through Bing for mani inspiration  the other day I came across a awesome picture of "Rainbow Flakie Nails"  . Wow these nails blow my socks off!  So here I am today with Rainbow Flakie Nails:) I started this mani off with Color Club Alias, then in the middle of my nail I used Wet N Wild Black Cream..... After that dried for a while I busted out my flakies! I started the rainbow effect with Finger Paints Motley on the sides of my nail, then I moved on to Flashy in the middle of my nail and last but not least I used Flecked on each side of Flashy. I did have to use two good coats of the Finger Paints to get the look I wanted. After everything was dry I applied a to coat of Orly Love Each Other. Here are the awesome pictures:)

I hope you can see the look I was trying to go for. Here is a picture of a car with spectra-flair on it.

Super cool right! I really love the way this mani turned out. Rainbow Flakie Nails ROCK!!!!  Tell me what you think, Yes it's awesome or no way rainbows are for the sky only!
Happy Polishing Everyone!

"Doodle Time"

Hey everybody:) Hope y'all had a great Valentine's Day:) Today I have for you a mani for the "Doodler". When I was in school (back in the day, lol) I use to doodle and everything! I saw this mani on Pinterest "Doodle Mani" . I started thinking ..... I use to doodle all the time and loved it, so I wanted to share my doodles with you ♥ For this mani I used Zoya Snow White, Color Club Pure Energy and Wet N Wild Black Cream. Super easy and this helped to bring out my inner child:) Here are the pictures:)

Hang man, flower, sunny day, xoxo ♥ 

Brings you back to those days when life was easier:)  I smiled the whole time sitting doing this mani for y'all:) I use to have these all over my notebooks, and do you remember playing hang man??? Well I hope this put a smile on your face:)
