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.

Chinese New Year Nails

Late on trends as usual around here...Thanks for sticking with me!

Here's what I wore for the Chinese New Year:

I really love this look! It is perfect for the year of the dragon. I'm so impressed with the quality of these polishes!  I can't wait to use the red crackle for a Valentine's day look!

I'm so grateful to Pure Ice for sending the Shows Stopper sample to me.  You can celebrate with Pure Ice Crackle Duo Gold & Red (ShowStopper) and ring in the Year of the Dragon in style.  Pure Ice polishes are available at Walmart and Walgreens and Online

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!

Candy Cane Nails

This cute stamp is from my favorite Nail Art Store, Born Pretty Store.  The red base color is Milani Red Sparkle.  This color reminds me of Dorothy's ruby slippers from the Wizard of Oz!  Such a great Christmas color!

Is it too early for Christmas Nails?

If it is then let's call these Redskins nails! Because that is actually what I initially was thinking about when I did this mani. See, coming from the D.C. area I was raised a die-hard Redskins fan! Trust me, its one of the most depressing teams to be a die-hard fan of! So, to show my Redskins spirit, I wanted to create a burgundy and gold nail look, and when it was done it looked really Christmasy, so I held off showing it to you until now.

I started this look with China Glaze Sugar Plum, which I think was in CG's holiday collection last year.

Then I did some gold glitter sponging on my tips and moons.  I can never decide which look I like better.  The gold glitter I used was a combination of Sinful Colors Paris and Milani Jewel FX in Gold.

So, if it is too early for Christmas nails, pretend these are Redskins nails, and if you aren't Redskins fans, then pretend these are Christmas nails! :D

Happy Thanksgiving to anyone celebrating tomorrow!  Anyone know of any good Black Friday nail deals?  If so, please share! 

Also, don't forget about my two giveaways going on right now:  Free Jewelry Giveaway and China Glaze Let It Snow Giveaway

Black and White Flowers on Red Nails

I got the inspiration for this manicure after watching nail art tutorials on Youtube.  I really love the work by IndigoNova1.  She originally did these nails with a green background, but I decided to use Zoya Kylie2 as my base which is a really bright corally red. 

My manicure didn't come out nearly as cute as Indigo's, but I found the tutorial really easy to follow, and it turned out as a pretty cute manicure.  Hope you like and it, and try it soon!  I've been finding some great nails on YouTube lately, if you are on there, or have a favorite youtuber I should check out, please let me know in the comments!

Summer Fruit Week - Day 1: Watermelon Nails

Since we are in the middle of summer, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate with some rooty tooty fruity nails! :P  Everyday this week I will feature different fruit inspired nail designs.  This fun week of nails will end on Friday with a fruity polish giveaway!!!!!  So stay tuned!

Today's nails are watermelon nails.  My hubby LOVES watermelons.  He says these are his favorite nails I've ever done!  lol.

I started my watermelon nails with Orly Hot Shot.  Please forgive the lack of cleanup, I forgot to cleanup before taking the picture.

To complete the look I used China Glaze Four Leaf Clover on my tips, then used my white striper to separate the green from the red.  To finish off the look, I added the seeds with a wet n' wild black with my dotting tool.  Then, I went a little crazy and added some Fairy Dust.

This manicure definitely inspired this whole week of fruity nails!  I can't wait to share the rest of the looks with you!  I know this whole watermelon look is nothing new, so if you've done watermelon nails, I'd love to see them, feel free to link up in the comments!

True Blood is back baby!

SO why not celebrate with some SOOKEH NAILS!!!!

Zoya Sookie is just THE BEST RED EVER!!!!  I love it!  It just feels classic to me.

So, I didn't want to do much with her.  Just added some simple black tips using Zoya Raven.  Super simple NOTD for ya.  Do you watch True Blood?  I think it is sooooo WEIRD, but also captivating! 

Happy Memorial Day Nails!

Last night we had our weekly dinner at my grandmother's and I decided to bring my nail stuff to give my grammy some gorgeous patriotic nails :)  And of course I had to do mine as well! :)

Here are my Grandma's nails!  I painted them in my favorite hot red: Zoya Sookie!  Then I stamped a cute star USA design from a fauxnad plate (M37) I got from Born Pretty.  You can get the stamp in this set.  She loved the final outcome!  It felt very patriotic to me!

Here is my design:

 I used Zoya Tallulah on my thumb and pointer nails, and then stamped the stars from Konad M3 all over them with Konad special white polish.

Then I painted the rest of my nails with Zoya Purity, and stamped the stripes from BM20 using Konad's special red polish.  These stripes didn't cover my nails perfectly, so I had to strategically place my thumb to cover up a bad match up of the design.  I really don't know how ladies with really long nails align stamps so perfectly.  I usually fail at it miserably.  If you have any suggestions for how to do that better, please let me know. 

Exciting news!  I passed 200 followers this weekend!  So, I just wanted to send a BIG shout out to all of you for following my blog, and being so awesome!  I love every single comment I get and I have loved finding new blogs to follow.

Minnie Mouse Nails - Please Vote!

Hey lovelies!  In case you haven't already seen these, I recently entered Confessions of a Polishaholic's Disney Nail Art Contest.  I decided to go with a cute little Minnie Mouse inspired design. 

I used Zoya Sookie for all the red parts and my dollar store black and white for the rest.  The little Mickey Mouse heads were done with two different sizes of dotting tools from the lovely Born Pretty Store as were all the polka dots.  The bows and the words were done using some new nail art brushes I got at Sally's.

If you like my design, please vote for me!  I'm entry #4 Moondancerjen.
