St Patty's Mani

It's that time of year again when we turn everything green and call it a party!

This mani started out as a striped monochrome, but then I decided it just wasn't "enough." I began with a base coat of Zoya "Tilda" and then layered on Fresh Paint in "#Winning" and "Pistachio." I used Red Angel plate #RA116 to stamp the ring finger with Zoya "Severine." The remaining digits were adorned with the clovers from Pueen plate #PUEEN40 and Fresh Paint in "Spruce Street." I have probably said this before, but the Fresh Paint nail polish line from Five Below is awesome.

Party on Garth!

Dear Spring, Please Come Soon!

As I sit here at my computer, I glance out the window. All I can see is snow. Almost a foot of snow. PLEASE. STOP. I feel like Winter is saying "my time is almost up, so let me s#it out a ton of the white stuff while I can!"  Bad Winter. Stop now.

Today's mani is my beckon to spring - I love you and wish you would come back soon!
My base isi Zoya "Rebel" - this is a metallic sky blue with a subtle silver shimmer. Great coverage - which is one of the reasons I love Zoya.
 I did a combo of freehand painting and stamping on this hand job. For the roses, I used a combo of WetNWild  "Through the Grapevine" and one of the pinks from The New Black pink ombre kit. I used a green LA Colors striper to add the green leaves, and finally Funky Fingers "Gesso" for the white dots. I stamped the middle finger with the same WNW "Through the Grapevine" and Pueen stamp #PUEEN29.  For the pinky, I did a double stamping from Gals Cosmetics plate #GA7.

Today I will be offering free ass-kickings to anyone seen doing any snow dances in my presence.

V-Day mani

It's that time of year again when everyone scrambles to buy some shit to try to tell their loved ones they are loved. Eh, the nail art is cute anyway.

For today's mani I used Zoya's "Dot" for my base, and Sonoma Nail Art's Limited Edition #enditmovement polish on my ring finger for an accent. I used a variety of plates on this mani, so get ready:
 - the pinky is from the Pueen Love Elements Collection, plate #PUEEN29
 - middle finger and pointer are from Bundle Monster, plate #BM411
 - the thumb is another Pueen, #PUEEN43
I used Salon Express in "Black" and Kleancolor's "Red" for my stamping.

In other news, I officially started beauty school today :) My Asthetics course is first, and then on to Nail Technology.

It's my Birthday!

I had a fabulous birthday weekend :) I did a simple mani with Color Club's "Harp On It" and stamped it with Pueen26 and Pueen45. It was a pretty simple mani, but I was under time constraints, so it got the job done! Hope everyone had a great weekend -- I know I did!!

Inspired by Allure Nail

I am obsessed with nail art on Pinterest. You can see my collection of awesomeness here.  Anyway, I found this amazing design which inspired me to do the above mani. It was originally done by Allure Nail - see the original post here. I wasn’t sure I was going to like the negative half-moons, but I feel like it makes my nails look longer. I used Essie’s Blanc as my white base, then added a coat of WnW’s Break the Ice to give just a little bit of shimmer. Then I sponged some green, blue and purple randomly. I edged the half-moons with gold and added a few gold lines. The butterflies were stamped with Pueen plate #PUEEN39. A little gold and purple glitter, and Viola! Kickass mani. Love it!
