MMMM Sprinkles!

Hey guys! Here today with my very first Nail's Inc. polishes! They both just happen to be from the new sprinkles line. I have now decided I *need* all of them! Not just because they are amazing, but they have cupcakes on the lids! Some of you don't know but I'm in love with cupcakes, my kitchen is even decorated in them ;)

So onto the polish, I used Nail's Inc. Sweets Way and Topping Lane, I did a Carly with how I painted them, using Topping Lane on my pointer, middle and pinky on my left hand, and opposite on the right hand, then did Sweets Way on my thumb and ring finger :)

Each of them is two coats, and even with as much glitter as they have in them, they went on super easy! The first and last picture are both with no flash, and the middle is with flash.

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!

It's My Birthday!!

Hey guys! Today is my birthday! Yay :D I'm 28 today! Phew I'm getting old :P Nothing too exciting going on since it's a weekday, but we are going to lunch at Olive Garden before old man needs to go to work, and then I get to drive to Fresno (about 45 minutes away) to do a presentation in class (I have distance learning classes), then having a few drinks with my group members. Super exciting huh? ;)

So my favorite color is pink, and I love glitter so I wanted to do something with both of those, what did I decide on? An all pink water marble!! I started with one coat of a white polish (SC snow me white), and used 6 of my pinks. We have Zoya Izzy, Zoya Renee, OPI Flower to Flower, Wet N Wild How I Met Your Magenta, Funky Fingers Queen Cupcake and China Glaze It's Poppin.

I know I still have nubs *sad* but the freaking edges keep breaking on them, so I keep having to file them down, it's driving me nuts, but not a whole lot I can do about it :P Forgive the super smeared "28" I keep forgetting my Nubar Diamont topcoat tends to smear, I need to use my Seche instead when I have any type of art :P

My pinky on my left hand is my favorite!! Which one is yours?

Oh and I figured I would show you the SUPER cute flowers my old man got me, and the presents my bestie sent :) I do these posts the night before, so who knows what else I'll get! ;)

Until next time! Happy painting!

Cupcakes!

Hey guys! Today's post is fun! I walked around my house looking for inspiration, and I found it right away in my kitchen! I got this adorable little decorative plate at Ross for $3.99 that has a cupcake on it, and for those of you that don't know, my kitchen is decorated in cupcakes :) So I copied the plate and was super pleased!

For this super fun mani I used 2 coats of Funky Fingers queen cupcake on all 4 of my nails excluding the ring finger, which I used two coats of Zoya shay. The pink dots are OPI flower to flower, the brown are Kleancolor espresso, and then just white. Using the same colors I made the cupcake on my ring finger to match the one on the plate. I've always been a fan of the browns and pinks together, I think it's gorgeous, so it's about time I put it on my nails!

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!

Deborah Lippmann Across The Universe

Hey guys! Here today using my first Deborah Lippmann! I did these in between baking cupcakes, I'm a multi-tasker ;) I'm making pineapple upside down cupcakes for the party to celebrate Dave's (the old man) dad, and since it was his favorite cake I figured I would do cupcakes for the party :) Yes there will be pics at the end ;)

So Across the Universe, omg it's beautiful! There is a dupe of it made by the Icing, but it's pretty hard to find now, so I just went for the original! This is three coats with no underwear (heh that sounds funny), I added an opal colored ribbon on my ring finger in remembrance of the old man's dad, because we lost him to lung cancer.

A quick public service announcement, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop smoking if you do, and urge family to do the same, not only did we loose him to lung cancer, but my best friends mom as well less than two years ago. These two people were amazing, and left us all way too soon. Please do it not only for yourself, but you children, and families as well.

So what do you guys think? I think it's a beautiful polish, and the cupcakes look good, and according to the old man taste good too (I hate pineapple so that's good for my diet!)

Until next time, happy painting!

New blog look, and more Valentines nails!

Hey guys! First things first, how do you like the new look of the blog? The lovely Sarah at Chalkboard Nails customized it for me :D She has recently done Chelsea's page over at Pretty and Polished as well!

So for today super simple Valentine's Day mani I used the same SH Coral Reef from yesterday's mani for my base color, I added OPI DS shimmer over it and then on my ring finger used nail art brushes and dotting tools to spell "love" in Kleancolor metallic pink, and added bling into the hearts of course ;)

I was trying to get all fancy and write "love" the way I do when I sign cards with the big pretty L and all...but uh, evidently cursive doesn't translate well to nail art for me! So just ignore that, k? ;)

Oh and for you cupcake lovers out there, I made homemade chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes last night too ;) So here's a pic for you to drool with ;)

Until next time, happy painting!

sweet mani! cupcakes!

Hey guys! I am a huge cupcake person, I love to bake and cupcakes seem to be my thing, so why it took me so long to do the cupcake mani, I have no idea!!

It took much longer than I thought it would, but I'm happy with the final outcome! Even better, all the polishes I used for it (other than the white) were untired! woohoo!

As my base layer I used Zoya pippa, then the tips I painted with Zoya kelly, I added Finger Paints paper mache over the top of that for the "icing", I striped Sinful Colors creme pink on as the cupcake wrapper stripes, and for the "sprinkles" I used Kleancolor neon purple, Sinful Colors innocent, Sinful Colors savage, and Sinful Colors big daddy, all topped off with Seche Vite. Then added some red rhinestones like a cherry on top of each cupcake :)




How do you think I did for the first time doing them? I like them :)

Until next time! Happy painting :D
