Pink for winter? Why not!

Saw OPI's Kiss me on my two lips in my helmer and decided I was in the mood for a hot pink! I know these shades are usually reserved for spring and summer, but I think there is no reason why they can't be pulled out in the winter to brighten things up!

Black, Gold, Sparkle, and Crackle Nails

Looked through my Helmer last night for some inspiration and found this awesome group of golds and blacks and crackles, so I decided to create this unique manicure that just so happens to match my outfit today! How convenient!

NOTD: Neon Lightning Bolts

Base color is Zoya Lo green lightning bolts are hand drawn using a green striper polish.

Dream catcher nail art design

Been loving this look lately! I'm wearing Essie Cantaloupe for the peachy pink nails and Zoya Wednesday for the teal ones. This was all freehanded with a teeny tiny brush!

NOTD: Peach Floral Polka Dot Fun!

Got the inspiration for this look from Instagram. If you don't follow me, yet look for me @moondancerjen

Orly Hilighter - the color of summer!

Oh my neon this color is awesome!!! Perfect for summer, and it stands out even more over white.

 

Kooky summer neon dotticure

Don't know what to tell you about this look today! It's just cray! I did lots of alternating with Zoya mod mattes from last summer: Mitzy, Phoebe, and Lolly.

Glitter Rainbow Gradient Zoya Nail Art

Zoya makes the prettiest glitter polishes! When faced with these four gorgeous glitters I just couldn't choose one, I have done a skittle look with these before, so today I decided to do a gradient look instead! I went with The Beauty Department's gradient technique of painting all the colors on the sponge at once. I had to apply the gradient a couple of times to get the dark hue I was looking for.

Here is the tools I used (from left to right) cosmetic sponge for gradient, Zoya Alegra, Zoya Mimi, Zoya Charla, and Zoya Apple.

Check out the other rainbow gradient look and a tutorial

Leopard nude and blue NOTD

Did these a few weeks ago and can't remember what colors I used.

Zoya Ruffle Nails

Inspired by the amazing Chalkboard Nails, I attempted a ruffle manicure using all Zoya shades of summer's past! From top to bottom you have Flora, Breezi, Malia, Raegan, Yummy, Perrie, Robin, and Areej. The teal on the bottom of some is by Color Club can't remember the name! This was easy to do using the big end of my dotting tool, but quite time consuming using all those colors. Would have liked the look more for Easter than just a regular summer day.

Neon Pink Wednesday!

I love neon nubbins! Color of the day is Zoya Ali!

Pure Ice Pink Vinyl Remix

I got so many compliments out and about today! I love how cool these new crackles are from Pure Ice!!! I can't wait to try their other colors!

This sample was sent to me for review, but the opinions ate purely my own. You can purchase Pure Ice at Walmart, Walgreens and online at http://PureIceCosmetics.com/

Gray and neon NOTD!

Happy Thursday, nail lovers! Today, a simple freehand manicure for you using Zoya Carey as my base color and China Glaze Flip Flop fantasy for accents.

NOTD: Zoya Zuza

Rockin Zoya Zuza today! Got it for free from Zoyas Share the Love program. Not gonna lie, I had high expectations for this color and I'm only feeling meh about it. I'm kind of over so many new colors every season. I don't think it brings much uniqueness or creativity. What do you think?

Dipped in Glitter

I'm obsessed with this teal from Color Club! I thought about leaving it plain but after watching Mizzchievious's latest nail art tutorial I decided to dip my tips in some glitter and take this look up a notch! :)

Gorgeous Pink Gradient

Inspired by the gorgeous azaleas in bloom outside, I decided to do a pretty pink manicure. I started with China Glaze Strawberry Fields as my base and then sponged Zoya Rica on the tips.

Easter Nails by Sally Hansen Nail Strips

Didn't have time for nail art this Easter, so I'm rockin these cute strips instead! Hope you had a lovely Easter!

NOTD: Black Crackle with Gold Glitter!

Look what my bestie brought me back from London! I'm in love with this fierce crackle! Finding the perfect color for underneath was difficult but I picked China Glaze GR8

Drupal Nails

I just got back from Drupalcon in Denver and while I was there I had to rock some Drupal nails! In case you aren't in the know, Drupal is a content management tool that can be used to create awesome websites, it is what I work on everyday at my day job! While I was there I met another nail art girl from New York and we painted other Drupalchix nails to look like ours!

Color Club NOTD

Loving this dusty purple from Color Club's Back to Boho collection! How awesome is it that you can get whole Color Club collections at Ross for only $8?

Happy St. Patrick's Day Nails

Just got this new spring green from Essie and thought it would be perfect for today! And of course I had to add a little stamp from Bundle Monster! Hope you are having a great St. Paddys day!

Khloe had a Lam Lam is the most awesome green I own! I love how dark it is and the awesome blue tones in it!

Happy Valentines Day!!!!

Hope you all are having a lovely v-day! Thought I would share my v-day mani with you. I actually am wearing two looks today because I couldn't decide which stamp to go with. I started with a shimmery white base using Zoya Christina. Them I channeled Adelle and painted my under nails in a hot red (Zoya Sookie). I love the little surprise that adds! The stamps I used are from a big fat konad plate I have, I'm not sure what stamp numbers they are originally.

Neon Valentines Day

I was really feeling China Glaze Shocking Pink for this Vday look. I knew I wanted some black designs on it so I free handed different designs on each finger. I carried my neon love down to my toes for some freehand hearts.

Today is National Wear Red Day

So I painted my toes the beautiful Zoya Sookie and stamped from the first set of Bundle Monster plates.

Soft Pink French

Been loving the Zoya winter neutral collection Feel lately! One of my favorite colors is Kennedy. She is such a pretty light pink! I decided to top her off today with Zoya Mia, and it turned out to be a really pretty neutral work-friendly look!
