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.

Animal Print III

This is an extremely easy design to do and it is very pretty and eye catching. It’s a little on the flashy side but I think, for the right occasion, it is a great look. When I first did leopard print I used a brush for the detail work but I’ve since learned that the smallest dotting tool I have works the best. Try it out. It’s easy peasy!

I think inverting the colors for an accent finger was a nice touch. What do you think?

To achieve this look I used:
Chic – Black Velvet
Jocarste – 26 (silver)

Antique roses

I thought I would share with you all the very first real nail art I did several months ago which really started me on my new hobby. 🙂

Isn’t it pretty? I was in love and decided I really wanted to use my nails as my creative outlet. I’ve had so much fun since then!

I probably followed a tutorial but I honestly don’t remember. I know, I know… Not cool.

To do this I used:
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear – Mint Sorbet
Wet n Wild – 436 (Pink pearl is the name I believe. It’s really old)
Chic – silky white

Flower accent

This is a simple accent I added to my manicure because, now that I’m into nail art, I’m not sure I can do plain nails anymore.

For this look I used:
Sally Hanson – Black Diamond
Sinful Colors Striper – sunset
Sinful Colors Striper – morning breath
BPS – Black rhinestones
Tiny dotting tool

That’s all! Short and sweet. I hope y’all like it.

Ps. Please forgive the oddly placed pinky finger.
