November Nails

Here are some lovely neutral nails with a nice mix of tan and taupe. 

 I used OPI Did you ear about Van Gogh? and ASP Tame me Taupe. Simple and pretty!

 I've been wanting to try some gingham and here it is! 

For this mani, I used TruGel Marshmallow, ASP Tame me Taupe, OPI Did you ear about Van Gogh?  and ASP Studio 54.

These is my sister's mani for her mother in law's fall wedding. Have I mentioned lately how much I love glitter???

 I used Gelish Plum and Done, Gelish Meet the King and Gelish All that Glitters.

And some more of those autumn browns! 

 I used Gelish Sweet Chocolate, OPI Did you ear about Van Gogh? Gelish Meet the King and Gelish All that Glitters. 

And another plain and simple mani. I LOVE this color! 

 This is TruGel Blue Topaz and it might be my favorite color right now. It has the prettiest sparkle in the sunshine. 

 And my first snow flake nails of the season!!!

 I used Gelish Bashful, Orly Gumdrop and some stamping with konad white. 

 Argyle!!! This is another one I've been looking forward to trying out. Nothing beats a nice cozy sweater, right? 

 I used ASP Tame me Taupe, OPI My Vampire is buff, and Gelish pumps or cowboy boots?

Glitter, neon, hearts and stripes! Favorite things! 

 I used Gelish I'm brighter than you, TruGel Marshmallow, Gelish Meet the King and Gelish All that Glitters. 

Thanks for reading, 

See you Monday!

Foxy Foxes!

Foxy Nails! 

They turned out way cute and a lot easier than I thought they would be. 

I used: ASP Blue Crush, plus some bright orange, black and white. 

One of my favorites: Roses!

I used Gelish Gossip Girl, Gelish Postcards from Paris and various pinks and a touch of green for the roses. 

Fall trees and Glitter!

So, these look a bit more like funky palm trees and less like fall trees BUT I tried. And the glitter fade turned out fantastic. 

I used: TruGel Marshmallow, Gelish Pumps or Cowboy Boots?, Gelish All that Glitters is Gold and some touches of orange and yellow. 

Here are my nails this week. I couldn't decide what color, so I went with all of them again. 

I used Gelish Want to Cuddle?, Finger Paints Rococo Orange, OPI My Vampire is Buff, Gelish Hot Rod Red and Gelish Tiger Blossom. I know, its a lot of colors but I like how it turned out.

See you Monday! 

Cameras, anchors, doggies, mermaids and...the Rebellion!

I had a busy week of nails! So many manis, so much cute! 

 This mani/pedi is modeled by the lovely Jane. It really couldn't have turned out any better! 

 I used, TruGel Marshmallow, ASP Blue Crush, Gelish Meet the King, Gelish All that glitters is gold, and Gelish Black shadow. I stamped the hearts with Konad and hand painted the cameras. 

This next one was so fun because not only did I get to do a way cute mani, I also had a nice long chat with my good friend Christy who I haven't seen in a long time. 

For this one, I used Gelish After Dark, Gelish I'm brighter than you, Gelish Night Shimmer, Gelish Waterfield and TruGel Marshmallow. All the art is hand painted. 

This are my nails this week. I was REALLY TIRED so I skipped the nail art and just went for a classic pink mani. I kinda love a one color manicure every so often. I find it visually relaxing. I used Finger Paints Passion for P-Ink.

The ring was a gift from my sister. Its a wiener dog, if you cant tell, because I LOVE my looooong dog and everything that has anything to do with them. 

 He's the cutest thing to ever live! 

 Next we have Ariel's Little Mermaid nails, Modeled by the lovely and talented Emma who was headed to a California Beach Vaca and for sure needed mermaid fingers! 

I used Gelish Radience is my middle name underneath Gelish Just what I wanted for the green, ASP Cutie Coral and TruGel Just Peachy for the rest. 

My final manicure today is this totally amazing Star Wars Mani. I love Star Wars but I will admit that I was not previously familiar with these two symbals. The red is for the Rebellion (think Princess Leia) and the black one is for the Empire (Darth Vader). I think the other nails speak for themselves!

 A huge thanks to Megan and her very pretty fingers for the chance to try something new! 

 I used: TruGel Marshmallow, Gelish Black Shadow, Gelish Waterfield, and little touches of some other colors for the nail art.

See you Monday!

What do YOU do in the summertime?

This is a big post. Lots of cute here. 

What do we do in the summer time? 

Eat Watermelon!

For the watermelon mani, I use Gelish's Amazon Flirt and Shake it til you Samba. I also used EZflow TruGel's Marshmallow. To make the watermelons, first I painted the nails with two coats of white, then handpainted all the artwork. And it turned out so cute!!!

Next summer time activity? Go on dates!

 (I dont know why we need tribal nails, I just like them) 

For this mani, I used Gelish's Shake it til you Samba and Black Shadow, ASP's Blue Crush, and EZflow TruGel's Marshmallow.

We GO TO THE BEACH!!!

I love these nails so much. I LOVE short nails! 

For this beach mani/pedi, I used Gelish Make you Blink Pink and I'm Brighter Than You, and ASP Blue Crush. Then I stamped gold chevrons and geometric patterns. Yay!

We grow roses! 

And for this GORGEOUS mani, I used Gelish's Go Girl and Radiance is my Middle Name. Then I stamped the white lattices and painted the roses on. I'll paint roses on pretty much anything!

And more flowers!

For this flower mani, I used Gelish Gossip Girl, A Mint of Spring and Waterfield and EZflow TruGel Marshmallow. A little handpainting, a little glitter fade and its a perfectly summer mani!
