Houndstooth and red

Had to do a quick change for another holiday party, with no time. What can I say, I'm in love with these nail sheets.

Gold and silver leopard print

Hello all, it's been a while since I've posted nail art... since October?   I was getting ready for my office holiday party, and whipped up this cute design.

Orly - luxe
Wet n wild - Metallica
Sinful - black on black
Finished off with my favorite top cost, seche vite

Bronze patina

I was prepping for Halloween this year. Going as a steampunk heroine,  so I thought a bronze patina was appropriate.

I achieved this look by stippling with a makeup sponge with a variety of different colors

Brattlesnake

Tonight's nail art using Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Brattlesnake.  Super cute and funky, but still neutral enough for work

How do you organize you pretty polishes?

I've been meaning to take a picture of all my spoils, and here it is. I place a spot of the nail color on the cap for easy identification, and then arrange them by color. <3

Zoya pink and orange color block

I wanted something uber bright, and simple for this week. So, I decided to play around with the new Zola colors a snagged through a Pintrest giveaway.

Kiss Nail Dress Review

I used a nail decal kit by Kiss, in Push Up.  I noticed that there's are a lot harder to put on, and not get wrinkles under the decal. They are just stickers after all, but for a quick color change I suppose they work alright. They have tons of colors and a few that have that are bejeweled.  The edges of the nail are when wrinkled will start to collect water, so it can get kinda gross.

I'll probably end up taking them off in a few days anyway.

Mint n pink

Love the new color block with that bright pink! Yum

Tribal

I have been seeing tribal everything lately, and wanted to translate this into nails.  I recently just got a new liner brush, and thought thus was the perfect time to test it out.

Nail Patch Art

I got this set from a friend for my birthday, so decided to try it out. Looks really good on, very chic.

Was pretty easy to put on, and was even able yo use the little left over bits and get a pedi out of it

Blue and white brocade

I've been wanting to try this design for a while. I've been staring at different fabrics, and found a pilllow at Pottery Barn that I was inspired by.  Here's my interpretation (inspirations photo to follow) Enjoy

Ulta - mint condition (blue)
I used watered down acrylic paint for the white design on top, and Seche Vite top coat.
