Stamped Gradient Nails

TGIW... know what I mean?? Right? Oy - it's been a long one so far! I don't even have anything to say, sorry, lol!

 

The base I used for this mani is OPI - If You Moust You Moust and then I sponged on green and purple acrylic paint. I then stamped on that using Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - White On and Bundle Monster Plate 317. Whaddya think, eh?

 

 

Yeah, that's it...sorry so lame - love you guys! :)

Rockstar Nails

Happy new week everyone! I hope you all had some fun and some relaxation this weekend. I got in a couple of glorious naps! One of them was interrupted by a huge storm that came through with some nasty hail! It was so loud that it woke everyone up and I couldn't figure out what in the world was going in for a while - it was cray-zay!

 

Today's mani uses one of my fave polishes, China Glaze - I'm With The Lifeguard. Isn't it a fabulous green? Then on my ring finger is Jindie Nails - Live Out Loud. I am so in love with everything I have from Jindie Nails - the application is amazing for an indie! I think the little black stars added just the right touch to these nails, what do you think? Do I look cool?

 

 

I don't have time for any more chit-chat *sigh* as I have to get to work. But I hope you all have an absolutely fabulous day!!

My First Cloud Mani

Happy FRIIIIIIDAYYYYYYYYY! Am I excited? Just a little!

 

I finally decided to try a cloud mani. While I'm not 100% satisfied with the outcome, I think it was fairly good for my first try and I'll definitely want to give it another go! Next time I will give the bottom two colors more room to show and not do such a large section of the third! I did this using the polish brushes but I've also seen it done with a dotting tool as well.

 

The polishes here are Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Bubblegum, aEngland - Avalon and China Glaze - For Audrey. This is actually the first time for me to use For Audrey. I hear people rave about it and it's being used in nail art everywhere but I'm just not a blue person I guess! I also have issues matching/contrasting colors so I'm not even sure if these look good together, lol! Don't tell me if it's complete crap, I don't want to know! XD

 

 

My nails were also so short here that I was pretty limited with what I could do. I hate it when my nails aren't at least to the tips of my fingers, but at least they grow quickly!

Excuses, Excuses! And A Jelly Blob Mani!

Uhhhh... the dog ate my polish? I got hit by a bus? Aliens abducted me? Are any of those excuses working? No? Okay then... I just got lazy! The trip I took to Oklahoma took a lot out of me from getting ready for the trip to actually going and then recovery time. I have also been really hard on my nails and have been chewing on my cuticles again!!! So my hands are in hiding for a little bit until I can get them looking good enough for a public appearance! Thank goodness I have a few manis saved up for you to look at while I heal! Because trust me, these babies are UGLY! I haven't had anything on my nails for over a month and during that time I've been cleaning, moving furniture and all sorts of harsh stuff and it shows!

This mani was originally going to be a paint splatter style nailart but it really just came out looking like what I'm calling, "jelly blobs!" I really don't mind though because it's bright and fun and I like the way it turned out! :)

 

 

So whaddya think? The white is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - White On. The pretty blobs were made using neon acrylic pain and a dotting tool and were super easy and fun! I sure hope some of you missed me because I missed you all very much! Am I allowed back in the cult community? Pretty please with sugar on top?
