Holo stamping

This was such a hard mani to photograph. I decided to try out holo on holo stamping. It was so cool looking. My husband said, “It looks like some kind of futuristic digital manicure.”
First pic shows the pretty holo and second is in shadow to show clearly the pattern I chose to stamp.
Have a great weekend!

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.

I’m still here

Hey y’all!

I just wanted to check in and say hello. I have been having some health issues and have been feeling pretty lousy especially in the past couple of weeks so I haven’t really been in a state to do nails as much as I’d like. My problems are mostly hormone related I think. My doctor has given me something that should help me feel better soon but it’s one of those “it’s probably going to get worse before it gets better” situations. And it’s been pretty bad. I already suffer from hormone induced migraines and because of hormone irregularities I’ve been having even more which sucks the life out of me. Fortunately I have been blessed with a fantastic husband who takes excellent care of me and two wonderful kids to make me smile even when I’m down. Hopefully i’ll be on the upside and I’ll be back to doing nails regularly soon.

On a happier note, I was ecstatic to learn this past weekend that I have been nominated for The Versatile Blogger award by two lovely fellow bloggers. I am super excited about that. More on that in the near future.

And just for fun, here is a picture of my Valentines Day gift from my sweet hubby. A nail polish rack! He made it all by himself. He said it cost about 5 dollars to make. I love my handy man.
Yeah, I know it’s not the best picture but I’m sick. Give me a break. Hehe!

Thanks for reading. I hope you all have a great day!
