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! 

Back to school and Dr. Who!

My little girl started first grade last week. She was SOOOO exited! So we figured we better do some nails to celebrate. 

So we decided on a fun red apple theme. 

For my nails, I used Gelish Hot Rod Red, and TruGel Marshmallow. 

for hers I had a regular polish red that was pretty close and a regular white as well. mine are gelpolish, hers are just nail polish but I think they match pretty well anyway. 

And here is another back to school design. I LOVE how this one turned out! But which is your favorite, the notebook paper? Chalk board? Apple? Ruler? 

For this, I used Gelish Hot Rod Red, Gelish Black Shadow, TruGel Marshmallow, and ASP Sparkler. For the art work I used all gelpolish in whatever colors I could find. 

Aren't they adorable???

Dr. Who Nails!!!

You may not be able to tell, but yes, that is a time vortex you're seeing. 

With a mini Tardis. 

I used, Gelish After Dark, Gelish Ocean Wave, Gelish Arctic Freeze and Gelish Casmere Kind of Gal. to create the time vortex, I used a tutorial for tie dye nails that seemed pretty close. 

For this last manicure I took a million pictures and they all turned out so pretty that I just had to post them all. 

And also, THAT RING!!!

So Pretty!!!

For this Manicure, I used Gelish Gossip Girl (favorite color!) and then a touch of Gelish Pink Smoothie and Gelish Artic Freeze.

July Make-up post (of a million manicures)

I have not posted to this blog in FOREVER! July is a busy month! 

So, without further ado, here is what I've been up to!

This lovely neutral ballet French Tip Mani is modeled by my very good friend Wendy. It was done using OPI Did you ear about Van Gogh? and OPI Coney Island Cotton Candy

These next three pictures are crappy because I took them with my phone but the nails are so pretty I didn't want anyone to miss them :)

So here is one of my favorite manis ever, modeled by the wonderful Melissa. 

For this I used Gelish Cashmere Kind of Gal, TruGel Marshmallow, Gelish Gossip Girl and various shades of regular polish to complete the roses and leaves. 

And another crap picture, this one is my nails while I was on vacation. 

I used, Gelish Black Shadow, Gelish Gossip Girl, TruGel Marshmallow, and RCM Staycation. 

 How pretty are these???? 

 I think this is my new favorite summer color. Its so pretty and bright and is such a bright pop of purple-i-ness! 

I may not have done any nail art on these, but I did do a matching mani/pedi so I think that counts for something!

For this I used Gelish's Anime-Zing Color. LOVE!!!

I did these this afternoon on my friend Andrea and I really really love how they turned out. So understated and beautiful. I especially love the white accent nail! 

 For this I used, Gelish Mint of Spring, Gelish Kiss me I'm a Prince and TruGel Marshmallow. 

And an itty bitty brush!

 These gorgeous glitter fade and camera nails are modeled by the adorable Emma! 

I used Finger Paints Appetite for the Archetype and TruGel Marshmallow. I also used my stash of glitter and used my itty bitty brush again. 

I got into the glitter again for this one! plus Gelish Pink Smoothie and a bit of Gelish Arctic Freeze.

Ok, when I said all those other mani's were my favorite, I was just kidding because THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE! 

 My Good friend Kasey is wearing these fantastic nails and really, they couldn't be any cuter. 

I used ASP Blue Crush, Gelish Meet the King, Gelish All that Glitters is Gold and TruGel Marshmallow. Then I stamped some hearts on with Konad's black polish. 

 These cute hands belong to my favorite 6 year old, my sweet daughter. She wanted me to try out this cool stained glass technique and she has been sooo careful with them ever since. 

 And finally, the last manicure of this very very long post...

My mom's vacation nails! 

 How cool is that? I got this idea from Sierrasnails_ on Instagram and I can truthfully say that this mani got more compliments than any I've ever done. 

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!
