Mardi-Gras themed nails

Hey guys! Today's post is a bit of a cheat, I got them done :P Funny thing is I needed to do clean up when I got some *SMH*. Oh well.

So anyway we went to a Mardi-Gras themed party so I wanted my nails to match. It's the right colors and not too out there, and I liked it. The purple color is China Glaze C-C-Courage, which I believe is in Wizard of Oz collection? It's a really pretty color!




What do you think?

I also got my hair done (just a trim and a few highlights) and did my eye makeup in Mardi-Gras colors as well. Hard to see in the crappy cell pic, but you can see the gold and purple under my eye. :)



Until next time, happy painting!

Happy Valentine's Day!! More nail art :D

Hey guys! Happy Valentine's Day! Today is the 4th anniversary of the day my old man and I met :D Not our first day dating but first day we met, so it's special for us :)

So for my nails today I wanted to do something different, not something I had seen done before, and well I think I accomplished it!

So my base color is Glitter Gal red holo, the bigger pink hearts are Glitter Gal fuchsia glitter, the smaller hearts are Loreal check me out, and then it's just boring ol white for the letters. I used dotting tools and a long skinny nail art brush (just for the lettering)

I really really love this! For those that don't know, SWAK is sealed with a kiss :D I did smear the W a little bit but other than that I think it looks awesome! What do you guys think?

Until next time, happy painting! I hope you all have a great Valentine's Day!

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!

Super cute Valentine's Day nail art!

Hey guys, back today for another Valentines Day mani! This one took me foreverrrrr so I really hope you guys like it!

I started with a base of OPI DS Reflection (2 coats) then using nail art brushes and dotting tools I made Xs Os hearts and kisses with white, Sally Hansen Xtreme wear Coral Reef, and Essence Nail Art Twins Gabriella. I'm not even kidding when I said it took forever either, ha. Good thing my kiddo was asleep!









I am super happy with it!! I love it :D I'm excited to go out and show it off ;) What do you guys think about it?

Until next time, happy painting!
