Purple Zebra

Here’s a quick shot of some nails I did for my great friend, Becky.
She wanted purple and silver so I used Sinful Colors’ Amethyst as the base and stamped with Jocarste’s silver. It turned out really cute.
Ps. Jocarste silver is hard to clean off as I’m sure you can tell by her glittery fingers. 🙂
Have a great day!

Going Native

These nails were inspired by one of my favorite types of jewelry. I hope you can see the American Indian influence of the red coral and opal inlay with turquoise as well. I think it turned out very well especially considering I free-handed everything. I was worried my lines would be very uneven and crooked. But, turns out being a perfectionist can pay off in some areas. 🙂

I created these for a nail art challenge hosted by Louise of Mommy Loves Nail Polish to celebrate her blossoming Facebook page. Go check her out. She is a sweetie.

To get this look I used
Sansan – Sea green
Sally Hansen -Fireball red
Caronia – Crystal
Kiss Nail art striper in black
Dotting tool for stippling

Leave a comment and let me know what you think. She will have a photo album open tomorrow for voting so go check out all the entries and put your 2 cents in.

Bk With Stamping

I needed a pick me up mani and decided holo was the way to go. I don’t have easy access to China Glaze, Color Club or any of those fancy holos but I did find some BK Holographic polishes which I got 3 of in purple and pink shades. This one is #24 with stamping. I’ve been putting off trying a full nail stamping but when I finally sat down to try it it turned out to be pretty easy.

I hope y’all like it. First pic is in the shade.

Skittles

Before I tell you about this mani I want to say how sad I am that my topcoat killed this manicure! Mercilessly! Just look at those bubbles. No wait, don’t look at the bubbles. Just admire it from afar. It really is super adorable minus the bubbles.

The colors I used were
Jocarste – 56 white
Jocarste – 26 silver
Jocarste – 36 pink
China Glaze – For Audrey
Sinful Colors – Black on black
Dotting tool and a striping brush

Everything was free handed and I got tons of compliments with this look. I love it when my skittles turn out this cute.

Sassy Flowers

Happy Valentines Day y’all! Here are some very feminine floral nails I just whipped up for my hot date with the hubby to the grocery store tonight! Ha! I’m not a huge fan of this subtly glittery green on its own but it makes a great base for this mani.

To get this look I used:
Chic – Peridot
Cover Girl – Sassy Stawberry
L.A. Colors – Raspberry (the darker pink)
Dotting tools

I hope y’all like it. Please leave a comment and have a great day.
