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!

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!  ;) 

NOTD: Plum Butterflies

Simple look for you today. Recently I went out and got a few colors from the Sally Hansen Salon Complete line. Last week I showed you the adorable Fairy Teal And today I have Plum Luck stamped over Plums the Word with Bundle Monster 205.

I think plum is such a fabulous fall color! I'm so existed that Plum Luck stamped so well! I'll have to keep that in mind for future looks!  This is my first time using this design, and I have to say, I love these bigger images Bundle Monster gave us in their latest set.

Neon Chevron French Tips

This post is from the vault, man do I miss my long nails! I can't wait until they grow back to this length! *sigh* I got this really cute Sally Hansen color recently (Fairy Teal), and I wanted to use it right away. So I did a free-hand chevron tip with Milani's Totally 80's accented with a black striper

I think chevron tips are a great way to change up the typical french manicures.

Yellow Monarch Nail Art

I've seen this design all over the blogisphere, and I just felt so tempted to do it myself!  And it goes with dotting tool week because the design has dots!

Isn't this just a fun manicure?  I LOVE it in yellow!!!!  But, if you don't, I've also seen this manicure in orange and pink.  I thought it was pretty easy to do.  All you need is a black striping polish to draw your lines, and then use your dotting tool and a white polish for the dots.  The base color here is Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Lightning. 

NOTD: Make a Wish

Simple manicure for you today. I started with a base color of Sally Hansen Gray by Gray, and then stamped some cute little flowers that remind me of the ones that float away in a breeze that you can make a wish on.

I think this design is on one of the Big Fat Plates on eBay, I did this manicure with Bevy and used her stamps, so I can't remember which design it was. (bad blogger! :P) If you know where this design can be found, let me know in the comments, and I'll edit the post. Hope you like it!

Vacation Mani Pedi

I recently went on a little beach vacay and decided to try out the new Sally Hansen Salon Effects for the week! I chose this black and white floral print, and I must say, I was very impressed with them! They stayed on the whole week. I got a TON of compliments! I think people just aren't used to seeing these yet. They were pretty easy to put on, but they do take some time to apply because you want them to look so perfect and last a long time, ya know?

In an effort to do a pedicure that lasted a whole week, I went with a glitter sandwich.

It lasted FOREVER, and really reminded me of one of my favorite pins on Pinterest:

 Hope this gave you some ideas for long lasting manicures and pedicures for your upcoming vacays!  xoxo!

Zebra Nails with Kisses!

Saw a set of nail decals recently that were zebra print with lips and decided to recreate the look with my bundle monster plates.

The zebra print stamp is from BM223 (from their second set) and the kisses are from BM02 (from their first set).  Nail blogger protip: Sally Hansen Insta Dri polishes are great for stamping!  The pink in the picture is called Presto Pink.

On Wednesdays we wear pink and polka dots!

Happy Pink Wednesday, lovelies! Thank you so much for all the comments you guys post on my blog!  They really brighten my day! :)  Since on Wednesdays we wear pink, today I decided to play with a very light pink: Sally Hansen Insta Dri Petal Pusher.

Here is a swatch of Petal Pusher.  She is a VERY sheer pink.  I think this was about 4 coats.  I have to say, that I really love the brush on these bottles.  It makes it very easy to stay on the nail and not go on the cuticle. 

On top of the pink I added some black dots.  This stamp is from my big fat plate, but can also be found on Konad M79 plate.  This picture was taken right after I stamped with no top coat and no cleanup (sorry about that). 

Then with a small brush I added the black french tips.  I think it finishes off the manicure nicely.  This was a great professional look for work yesterday!  Inspiration for this manicure came from an image I found on Pinterest  Let me know what you think!  XOXO
