Fall catch up post!

I finally interrupted my autumn crochet frenzy to post all the nails I've been doing lately!

Cool geometrics with ombre

I used TruGel Marshmallow, Gelish Tiger Blossom and Gelish Black Shadow. 

 I've been looking forward to doing these for a long time now. ComicCon Nails! 

I used Gelish Hot Rod Red on most of the nails for a perfect 1940's look. Then for the accent nails, one had to have Captain America's shield of course, and the other is Peggy Carter's signature red hat. 

For those nails I used Gelish Midnight Caller and Gelish Night Shimmer with touches of various colors for the artwork. 

 Peggy's hat!

 And there he is. I hope he was just as hunky in real life! I can't wait to hear about it!

Its that time of year people! My favorite nail holiday...

HALLOWEEN!!!

I used: TruGel Marshmallow, Finger Paints Rococo Orange, Gelish Black Shadow, ASP Sparkler and Gelish Waterfield. And a bunch of dotting tools! 

And here are some lovely fall frenchies. I love how they turned out. So pretty! 

I used Gelish Bashful, Gelish Arctic Freeze and some Konad stamping polish. 

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! 

Fall Frenchies. And diamonds.

 I really honed my french tip skillz this week! 

 This first one is just a basic white on clear here. The fantastic part is Heather's gorgeous natural nails! Can you believe those???

Next we have some edgy black with some stripes and diamonds. Very cool!

I used Gelish Black Shadow and TruGel Marshmallow with a bit of stamping on the thumb. 

 And here is the Funky French for the week. Owls!!!

I used a few coats of Gelish Bashful as a base color instead of a clear to keep it looking natural but also to mask some nail damage and add a bit of sparkle. Then I used ASP Ego with Gelish Mint of spring accents. And some black, white and orange for Mr. Owl of course. 

my third French of the week!

This one is a little different. I started with two coats of Gelish Bashful again (because I like it) and then painted the tips with Gelish Artic Freeze. Then I added a bit of sparkle with Gelish Vegas Nights on top and finished with a touch of chunky glitter on her accent nails.

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!

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.
