Spring Robin's Eggs

Hey guys! Here today with another spring mani! It's that time of year that we start seeing birds building their nests in the trees that are all sprouting bright green leaves, spring is my favorite time of year! It's awesome waking up and hearing the birds chirping with the sun out :D call me corny if you must, but I love it! It gets too hot here in the summer, so I'll take all the spring I can get!

My inspiration today was robin's eggs, or maybe just another type of birds egg in general. I started with two coats of China Glaze shy high tops, I sponged on Zoya Jo, China Glaze first mate, and Funky Fingers Mrs. mint, and wrapped it all up with some random sizes of dots (to represent speckled eggs) with Kleancolor espresso.

First pic is no flash and the second is, wanted to show the different dimensions with the different blues that were sponged on, it looks really pretty!

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!

Bunnies and Chicks!

Hey guys! Here today with another super cute and easy Easter design! Bunnies and chicks :) I wanted to do something that was spring/Easter themed but that wouldn't take me all night, and I figured this would be quick (ish anyway) and easy :)

I started with two coats of Essence nail art twin Romeo, it made me a bit sad not to use the gorgeous glitter Julia with him, but he's the only grey I own! I then used Zoya pippa to make yellow dots (just using the nail polish brush) then used a long skinny nail art brush to make the shapes of the shells the chicks would be coming out of, filled them in using the brush. For the bunnies I just used the brush for the heads and the long skinny nail art brush for the ears. I finished all of them off with facial features and tada! All done :)

This has been making me smile all morning. I'm sick (boooo) and have been for about a week. Long story short my son got sick from the new sitters sister, he ran a high temp during his nap last Thursday, had a febrile seizure because of it, and after he was fine the next day, turns out he has a cold and an ear infection (my poor monkey butt!) and now the old man and I have the cold as well, yay! lol, so yea my nails have made me smile a bit :D

What do you think?

BONUS!!! You get to see my monkey butt and I ;) this was from last week before we all got sick, I love him! Do you think he looks like me? I don't see it :P He looks just like his daddy!

Until next time! Happy painting!

Starry Spring Night

Hey guys! Here today with something a bit different! Last night it was beautiful out, in the 60s a few whispy clouds here and there and lots and lots of stars! For those of you that don't know, I'm a little bit obsessed with stars, and they have a lot of meaning to me, I even have 4 star tattoos :) So last night's sky was my inspiration!

I started with two coats of Zoya indigo, made a big full moon with a dotting tool in white, sponged on some white clouds, sponged a little bit of grey over the white moon, using a dotting tool I used white and silver to make some small dots randomly to represent stars, then finally I sponged on a little bit of OPI DS shimmer in a few small spots to give just a little bit of bling.

It was super easy, and fun, something for me that means spring yet it's not in the normal pastel colors. Yay for being different!

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!

Matte Easter Eggs!

Hey guys! Easter is apon us! Only 17 days to go! April 8th is Easter for those that don't know, and then my birthday is on the 12th :D I'll be a whopping 28 years old! *shock* So today's post is on another iconic childhood memory, dying and decorating hard boiled eggs!

This is a bit of a skittles mani, with different colored pastel colors :) My thumb (that you can't see lol) and pinky finger are Finger Paints lemon sour, my pointer finger is Funky Fingers Mrs. Mint, middle is Funky Fingers queen cupcake, and ring finger is Funky Fingers sugarplum fairy. Using my two favorite tools, my long thin nail art brush, and a dotting tool I made the "decorations", which I tried to make a little different on each one. Once I was done I topped it with Sephora by OPI matte top coat.

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!
