Hand Painted Halloween!

Candy Corn and Jack O' Lanterns!

I used: Gelish Black Shadow, Finger Paints Rococo Orange, TruGel Marshmallow, Gelish Arctic Freeze and a bit of yellow and green. 

This one isn't totally halloweeny, but the black and gold give it a lovely dressed up feel I think. Like a masquerade ball. 

I used: Gelish Black Shadow, Gelish Meet the King, Gelish All that glitters is gold, and a bit of white art gel. 

I did a mani similar to this a ouple weeks ago, but it was so much fun I had to do it again!

 I used: Gelish Amazon Flirt, Gelish Anime-Zing color, Finger Paints Appetite for the Archetype and a bit of Gelish Black Shadow for the art work. I also added purple rhinestones and some craft store glitter. 

How cute are these Halloween Beauties?!?

I used: Gelish black Shadow, TruGel Marshmallow, Finger Paints Rococo Orange, and TruGel Toxic. 

This may be my favorite manicure this week. I LOVE nightmare before Christmas and I was really hoping to do some nightmare nails. Yay!

I used: Gelish Simple Sheer, Gelish Black Shadow, Gelish Anime-Zing color, TruGel Smoke and Mirrors and a bit of white art gel. 

Quick Frankin Nails. Seriously fast but still way fun. 

 I used: Gelish Black Shadow and Gelish Amazon Flirt. Thats it!

Last but not least, Harry Potter Nails!!!

 I used: Gelish My Forbidden Love, Gelish Meet the King, Gelish Black Shadow and white art gel. 

Thanks for reading, 

See you Monday!

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!

French Tips, Rhinestones, Glitter and HOT PINK!

 Don't you wish that was describing just one manicure?!? 

I know I do!

This was a fun nails week. from basic, to complex I really love all these manis. 

The first is on the lovely Kim, whose nails probably even look great after 3 hours of gardening with no gloves. But still, I may have helped a little ;)

For this standard French Manicure, I used Gelish Arctic Freeze and Simple Sheer. Always classy. 

 These nails are a little more complex but I love how they turned out. AND she let me use rhinestones! Yahoo! 

For this Mani, I used Gelish Party at the palace (love!) and Gelish Arctic Freeze. 

I hand painted the lace and dots and topped it off with some extra sparkle. Courtney has lovely nails so it was pretty easy to make this look fantastico!

It was really hard to get a decent picture of this lovely ivory and gold mani. The camera just doesn't do justice to how pretty it turned out.

I used OPI My Vampire is Buff, Gelish Meet the King, Gelish All that Glitters is Gold and some old grocery store gold polish that stamps really well.

While it looks intricate, stamping is actually one of the quicker nail art techniques. And I think it was perfect for this manicure. 

I should have named this post "Pretty Hands and Nails" because seriously, look how nice her nails are! Thanks Andrea!

 Last but not least is my mom's mani for the week. HOT PINK! What a fantastic end of summer color! 

Sometimes we just need to go bold! 

I used TruGel EZ Flow Electric Purple for this. 

When you go in the sun, this color has the faintest sparkle to it that really gives it something extra. I'm LOVING it!
