201 POSTS AND COUNTING....

You have to click directly on this picture to get a better view of these nails.

The base acrylic that I used on these nails is called black and white ball from sparklesnailproducts.com.

These are my sister in laws nails. She is 9 mos. pregnant. She isn't finding out if it's a boy or a girl until the baby is born. So that is the story behind the one pink flower and one blue flower nail. Once she has the baby we can just change one of the nails! haha

These nails were a complete accident. We were going for something completely different and they just ended up like this. This is a perfect example of what happens when you have a crazy nail tech and a crazy client in the same room!

This is opi gel polish in black onyx. I painted a little "corset" pattern on the nails. It's kind of hard to see in the picture but it turned out very cute!

This is white acrylic with cotton candy art glitter faded at the top. I added 3d flowers on the ring fingers. Very summery :)

This is acrylic. I painted the black and white lines with a striping brush.

This is a 3d skull on the ring fingers that I made with acrylic.

This is a color fade with acrylic and then I handpainted a cheetah print. meeeow!

200 POSTS!

Super cute toes and the picture actually turned out pretty good! Finally, it is soooo hard for me to take a good picture of toes. This is a glitter fade with glitter from Young nails in shock, pinkie, and sunshine. I painted tiger stripes on the top. Love these toes!

These are all colors from young nails that I marbled together and then I faded young nails hologram up into them.









This is gel polish. Happy Birthday Hannah!

MIX IT UP

Click directly on this picture to get a better view. There are hollow dots so you can actually see through the nails. All of these colors are from the Young Nails neon collection. I painted the white circles with a nail art pen.

This is glitter that I purchased from dollar nail art. I mixed the glitter with clear acrylic to make it super easy to apply. The purple background color is lava lamp art glitter. The ring fingers have 3d stars and the green acrylic is art glitter in fishnet.

On these nails I painted an abstract design on the black. Scroll to the bottom of this post to view the matching toes I did with these.

I have done a lot of flags this July. They are each a little different. I call this one my Dr. Seuss flag it curls in at the end a little. Just always having to get a little artsy and creative whenever I can.

On these nails we were trying to achieve the color apricot. I wish you could see the color in person because it is beauuutifullll. I faded two colors together.

This is opi gel polish in black onyx with a base coat of happy anniversary.


I have done soooo many cute toes lately, I'm frustrated because it is so hard for me to get a good picture of toes. I just can't get the right angle or lighting and the coloring turns out all wrong in the picture. I would appreciate any photography advice. I did think these pics turned out ok but the toes were much cuter in person. Grrrrrr

STAR SPANGLED BANNER

This is a custom mix of all different glitters that I had. I also put a glitter on the nail beds. As you can tell I am having a lot of fun doing flags on nails. It's just too cute not to. I can't help myself!

I made this flag using acrylic and painting the white stripes on. The stars I purchased from dollar nail art and mixed them with clear acrylic.

You can't go wrong with fimo clay dots. They are from oaktreedollshouseminiatures.com
I always love to mix it up by doing the ring finger just a little different. It's unexpected fun!

This is a marbling technique that I learned at a young nails class. This is acrylic. All of the colors are from young nails. I painted the silver stars and red dots with polish.

This is my favorite black called nebula. I added 3d flowers with acrylic in opposite colors.

This is just me having fun with some super cute colors purple and black!

This is opi gel polish in one of their newest colors Kyoto Pearl. I painted a cheetah print with my migi nail art pens.
