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!

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.

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.

Zoya Christmas Matte French Twist

I love Zoya's matte polishes.  I think I own almost every color they've made in the matte finish because they are just so freaking gorgeous!  Today's manicure was a no brainer.  I loved the trend that Zoya promoted earlier this year called the French Twist, so I decided to create a Christmas one using their matte colors: Verushka (green) and Posh(red).  You may remember the french twist look I did with Dove and Portia from August or the very summery citrus french twist I did in July with Pippa and Jancyn.  As you can tell, I'm a big fan of the look.  But now looking back I wish I would've added a little more design to this manicure.  Oh well!  Enjoy!

Pretty Christmas Party Nails

I had my company Christmas party last week, and I wanted a really classy ornate Christmas design on my nails for the event.  Here is what I came up with:

Check this out ^ I even managed to do the design on my left hand! 

Here are the steps I took:

1. Drew a diagonal french on each nail with Sally Hansen Insta Dri Silver Sweep.
2. Using a detailing brush, I created the cute little swirls in Zoya Verushka.  I followed this tutorial on Youtube to teach me how to draw the swirls.
3. After a coat of Seche Clear I added three little red rhinestones to represent some Holly Berries.

I love all the cute Christmas looks, but I think sometimes its nice to have a break and do something ~*fancy*~

Funny Story: I actually went and got a professional pedicure the day of my company Christmas party, and the ladies at the nail salon were studying my manicure HARDCORE!  They all couldn't believe I did it myself, and wanted to know how I did it of course!  ;) 

Gingerbread Men Nail Art Stamping Manicure

Two nail looks in one day, you guys are so lucky! For this look I wanted to play with some of the many Christmas designs on my nail plates. This little gingerbread man comes from BM222 (I just cleaned off the excess design that surrounds him to just get the gingerbread man, and then stamped him twice. The color I used is the Sonia Kashuk brown from my earlier manicure. The candy cane in the middle of the two gingerbread men are from a set of plates I got from Born Pretty Store. This stamp was also used on my Candy Cane Nails from a couple of weeks ago.  I used the Konad Red stamping polish for them.

I think this is a really cute design, and is a great example of how to use multiple images and changing the images that come with the plates can be used to compose a "scene"  Hope you are liking this huge influx of Christmas designs this week!

Fourth of July Manicure and Pedicure!

I have been loving Pinterest lately!  I have found so much inspiration for my nails.  When trying to find the perfect fourth of July manicure I turned to Pinterest and found this beauty, which I blatanly duplicated because I just loved it so much.  Now, if you follow me on Twitter you got a sneak peek of my mani and pedi on Instagram:

Don't you just love how Instagram makes pictures look?  So artsy fartsy!  LOL!  I didn't take any other pictures of my pedicure so here are the deets: Big toes = Zoya Tallulah with stamps from BM221 and konad M3.  The rest of my toes were painted Zoya Purity with stripes in Zoya Kamilah.

Here are some more shots of my manicure.  I started with a silver base using a silver from LA Colors.  Then on two of the nails I painted blue tips with Zoya Breezi, and added stripes with Zoya Sookie.  On my thumb nail, I used a striping brush to add some fireworks with Breezi, Sookie, and a white.  Then to finish it all off I added rhinestones all over. 

I really love this look!  I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July!  Mine was pretty boring, just a cookout and watching the fireworks on tv.  Are you on Pinterest?  If so, share your link!  Want to join in on the fun?  Drop your email in a comment and I'll send you an invite.
