mmm rainbow sherbet! ON MY TOES!

So just like with the cotton candy nails I did on Monday I was inspired by ice cream in our freezer lol, my rainbow sherbet!

So I started with doing my toes a base coat of green (KleanColor Melon Green), then I sponged on orange (China Glaze Papaya Punch) then sponged on pink (Orly Flirty) and tada I have yummy toes!



I know some of you hate feet, and I'm sorry but this is cute! Come on, it won't kill you to look ;) I promise! ;)

So we have inside with flash, outside in natural light, and outside in the sun, I really need to get better with my toe cleanup skills *whoops*.





What do you think? I think these colors are beautiful together and perfect for spring or summer!

Happy painting! :D

ohhhh prettyyyy! Icing-glimmer

So here I am changing my polish again, I actually left the pink polka dots on for two days!! *shock and aw*

So I went through my untried and decided on Icings Glimmer, it looks like a bottle of champagne broke open and settled on my finger nails, I freakin love it!

So the Icing brushes are super awesome, big and wide, covers almost my entire fingernail in one stroke, which is awesome!!

So here are the results. As always we have inside with flash, outside in natural light, and outside in the sun. Sorry I know some of you are jealous about me always having sun but hey it's Cali :P





So inside it's pretty, but get in the sun and hellooo mama it's gorgeous! I really really like this and best part is I got it half off ;)

What do you think?

Happy painting! :D

What do you collect?

I know a lot of my followers are polish-aholics much like myself, but what else do you collect? I'm curious!

For me I have my polish, I also collect frog stuff (taken it down quite a bit over the years though) picture frames, shot glasses, and salt and pepper shakers!

here's my polish collection as of now I have 94 including base and top coats, nail art and crackles (so far anyway ;) I have about 30 in the mail to me right now too lol)



I have 26 frogs, I used to have a lot more but the things I go rid of were all very juvenile, like stuffed animals and toys :P



I have about 50 shot glasses from all over the place, when my family and friends go out of town they always get one for me :) I have no place to display them right now so they are in the closet :(

I have 8 different salt and pepper shakers, cutesy ones ya know?

and as far as picture frames, yea...lol I have 61 frames that hold 77 photos, and one of those is a digital frame so it's got like 30 pictures on it lol...and it's not cluttered! I don't really do paintings and art in my house, I do photographs :D

So what do you collect?

A day early! Pink Wednesday :)

I am so impatient and I love how it turned out so I had to share :D

First off I had to take off my glitter bomb from Monday's challenge from PaA and I used the advice from Chloe's Nails blog who would have known to use foil to help! It worked great!! My hands looked a little like they were trying to transform into robots, but hey that might make life easier! ;)

Here's my robot hands lol



Oh and just so you know this would not have been very easy to do on my own, so I did my left hand and my old man did the right ;) I think he tolerates my polish obsession because he knows it makes me happy ;) Hell he even lets me swatch new colors on his nails :D

So anyway I had kind of planned out what I wanted to do last night, but I decided to change up the base color this time.

I did my base coat, then used Finger Paints Paper Mache, let that dry and added Sinful Colors You Just Wait over it, turns out really pretty. The SC color is a pale pink with a yellow iridescence (did I spell that right? lol) to it, it would be too light on it's own, unless you did a bunch of coats so it worked out great for this project.

So once that was dry I used Finger Paints Watermelon Watercolor, Color Club (unknown) pale pink, Cover Girl nailslicks Very Berry, and Finger Paints Hue Left A Message? for polka dots.

Here's the colors in the order I used them, forgive the PB in the back ground, my old man likes to live in his childhood and eats a pb&j everyday :P



And then we have the inside with flash, outside with natural light, and outside in the sun pictures.





I really like how it turned out, and my favorite color is pink anyway, so I do believe I might leave this on for a few days!

What do you think?

Happy painting :)
