An Iconic Easter Treat, Peeps!

Hey guys! Here today with another Easter inspired nail art mani :) I was trying to come up with something I hadn't seen before, so while in Walmart yesterday I walked down the Easter candy isle, and what do I see? Peeps! I've gotten these yummy marshmallow treats in my Easter basket since I was a kid, and when the old man makes me a basket, I still get them! I looked at the colors and I knew what I would do!

The four colors I found were bright blue, bright yellow, bright pink, and a lavender. So I figured a green base behind them would work out great :) I started with two coats of Color Club Twiggie from the Poptastic collection. The yellow on my thumb and ring finger is Zoya Pippa, the purple on my pointer finger is Sinful Colors verbena, the blue on my middle finger is Finger Paints blue raspberry taffy, and last but not least the pink on my pinky (heh) is Sinful Colors cream pink.

I just used a long thin nail art brush to make the outlines of the bunny peeps, then carefully filled them in with the brush from the polishes. Used a nail art tool to dot the eyes and noses on and done! The same nail art brush I used for the outlines I used for the word "Peep" too, I made it too big and couldn't fit the "S" but oh well :P

What do you guys think? I think it's super cute!

Until next time! Happy painting!

Spring Has Sprung!!

Hey guys! St. Patrick's Day is over and it's time to move onto even more spring themed nails! Today, the Easter bunny came early!! What are you most looking forward to this Easter? I'm looking forward to trying to teach my 22 month old monkey butt how to dye eggs...this should be fun! :D

The Easter bunny and his eggs came for a visit on my nails today! I started with one thick coat of Kleancolor catch me, and using only two sizes of dotting tools, and a long thin nail art brush. Just like some of my other designs I've used a lot of colors, so I'm not going to name them all off, BUT if you would like to know a certain one, I'll be more than happy to let you know!

Jody from SoFlaJo is doing a nail art contest on her Facebook page here and this mani of mine is in it! Care to throw a vote my way? "like" her page, then comment on my photo daily to give me a chance to win!

Until next time! Happy painting!

Connect The Dots

Hey guys! Sorry about the lack of a post yesterday! I got a bit distracted with class and family stuff :P But today I bring you my one and only Lynnderella! This was the only one I was really lemming and I just got it in the mail this week.

I know there has been a lot of drama involving these polishes, and recently someone duped CTD and is selling it, but I have tried staying out of it! CTD is a unique black and white glitter layering polish. There are black and white bar glitters, large black hex, med. black and white hex, small round black and white, small square black, micro black and white, and an even more micro shimmer. It looks great over just about any polish, but I wanted to use one of the others I got in the mail this past week.

I started with two coats of Funky Fingers Mrs. Mint, a beautiful mint blue/green, in the bottle it looks like there is a slight gold shimmer but I was unable to see it on my nails, maybe in the sun but not with my eyes or flash of the camera *pout*, then I added two layers of CTD on top :)

Let me just tell you Mrs. Mint is a b***h to photograph!! It either looked more green, or more blue than it really is, ugh. The best and most accurate picture I was able to get of it was with my cell phone (it'll be the last picture).

What do you guys think? I'm extremely happy I finally got one of my biggest lemmings! :D

Until next time! Happy painting!

Green Ruffian, Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hey guys! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Everyone is Irish today, so go have a beer, wine, or liquor of your choice, (those that are of age of course) and make sure to wear green so you don't get pinched!

Today I'm getting on the bandwagon of the ruffian style nails. Instead of just doing the two colors I took it further and I've used 6 different greens for this one! A few of my fellow bloggers have done these recently, so I cannot say that I came up with the idea on my own!

I honestly didn't realize I had as many greens as I do until I was looking through them to do this mani :P I'll start with the very bottom layer (the one closest to my cuticle) and work my way down.

Milani- 511 hi-tech
China Glaze- starboard
China Glaze- he's going in circles
Snowman polish- green
China Glaze- paper chasing
China Glaze- entourage

I freehanded all of these with just the polish brush, so they are not perfect by any means but I think they look pretty good! Oh and my light box isn't big enough for all the polishes so you see the sides of it lol whoops!

What do you think?

Until next time! Happy painting! and happy St. Patrick's Day!
