Yay for Fall Nails!

I love how these turned out! 

The pretty plummy red with gold laurel leaves is a perfect autumn look. 

I used Gelish My Forbidden Love and Gelish Meet the King

Here is another great color with gold! I always love glitter, but there's something about this gold glitter on the dark nail that I think looks really classy and striking. 

I used Gelish Bella's Vampire, Gelish Meet the King and Gelish All that Glitters. 

And here are some very silly, very Halloween ghost nails. How could I resist?!?

 I used Gelish Black Shadow, TruGel Marshmallow, ASP Sparkler, Orly Hello Holo, and TruGel Electric Purple. 

And here are my nails this week. I was once again, having way too much fun. 

I used Gelish Amazon Flirt, Finger Paints Appetite for the Archetype, Gelish Anime-Zing Color and Gelish Black Shadow. And then I mixed up some craft store glitters and added them with a makeup brush. AND a rhinestone.

See you Monday!

Fall is Here!!!

And everyone knows that fall = football! 

My sister may be the nicest mom ever. These nails are all about her very own (not so little) #24. 

And I was even able to find a football! 

For this Mani, I used Gelish Want to Cuddle?, Gelish After Dark, Gelish Vegas Nights, TruGel Marshmallow, and a bit of Gelish Lady in Red. Team colors are navy and marooon. We can't all be as cute as the Seahawks I guess. 

For my start of fall nails I really wanted to try an Ikat pattern. I've been seeing it everywhere (scarves, decorative pillows, phone cases) so it was kinda in my head and I think it turned out pretty ok, myabe I'll try again but with some different colors next time. 

I used: Gelish Black Shadow, TruGel Marshmallow, and little bits of RCM Staycation and Gelish Shake it til you Samba. 

 My mom wasn't quite ready to let go of her bright summer nails so we went all out for this one. It kinda looks like neon confetti. Super fun to do and I could even tone it down a bit if I absolutely had to. Maybe. 

 Neon Confetti Diet Coke Party!!!

I used: Gelish Amazon Flirt, Finger Paints Passion for Pink, ASP Ego, Finger Paints Appetite for the Archetype, TruGel Marshmallow and a few other colors for the dots. Way fun! 

My last mani for this post is this lovely fall sweater design. I LOVE how it turned out and I can't wait to do variations of this all fall and winter. How cute would this be in oranges? In Christmas colors? Yay!

These nails are on the lovely Nita, who I adore and can't wait to see again soon. 

 I used: Gelish Want to Cuddle? TruGel Marshmallow and Gelish Meet the King. 

Pretty simple!

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!

Shut Up and Do Your Nails with Me!

I know you've heard the song, but have you seen how adorable this guy is in the video? 

Because he is 100% THE CUTEST. Just Shut Up and Watch it already. 

I started with a cute multi color mani. One of my favorites just as is. 

I used: Gelish Make You Blink Pink, Gelish I'm Brighter than You, Orly Glow Stick, Gelish Amazon Flirt, and Finger Paints Appetite for the Archetype.

For the next step I put Scotch tape diagonally across each nail. 

I actually don't need it on the green nail but I forgot what I was doing for a little while. It happens. 

Then I stamped the swirl pattern using white Konad polish and peeled the tape off. Perfect!

Again, its so cute I really could have left it here...but I didn't. Oh, and I always make sure to clean up the messy edges BEFORE I top coat. Otherwise you can end up with a sealed in, permanent mess.

And the final touch? Guitars and music notes of course! 

Who wouldn't want an all neon 80's music mani this summer? NO ONE!!!

And a BIG thank you to my lovely nail model, Emma. Beautiful hands and a beautiful girl!
