Purple Holo Butterfly

Hi,

I painted a purple holographic polish side french.  See the photo below for polish details.  It looks very pretty in the sun!  Hope you like it.  And if you try any of my designs, I would love to see them.  So, just let me know.  Here is the youtube tutorial LINK.

Blue Water Marble

Hi everyone! 

I was in a water marble mood (which is rare for me).  I didn't want to get to out of practice so I decided to try my hand at it again.  I used Sally Hanson Dive Deeper, Sinful Colors Love Nails and Secret Admirer (as well as a silver liner and rhinestone).  Here is the result.  If you want to view the tutorial on you tube, click HERE.
Let me know what you think!

As always, thanks for viewing my blog!

Mehndi Nails

Hi,

Pretty quiet lately on the blog.  But, here it goes.  Was feeling like trying something different and went with a Mehndish kind of style.  Let me know what you think. I spent hours/days doing the Flintstones and got 1 comment. It's nice to get feedback.  Thanks!

Meet the Flintstones!

Hello Everyone,

Wow!  This was a challenge.  I didn't have a lot of time to work with and I still am waiting for my eye to heal fully (can't really tell I've missed something until I take pictures).  But, I did the best I could.  I hate Betty lol. My goodness what a challenge she was for some reason.  And, unfortunately, I was putting Betty down and my hand touched Wilma while she was wet with a fresh coat of Seche on her.  So, I had to start over.  But, after all the obstacles, I think they came out decent enough!  Let me know what you think.  My birthday was Monday so we are going to shore for the weekend.  I can't wait!  You can see the youtube video HERE.

Flower Manicure

I must have spring fever! I'm on flower overload this week.  I have something special I'm preparing to do for next week.  I have to get an eye injection tomorrow, so hopefully I'll still be able to do it.  But I promise, it won't be flowers.

I did this with Zoya Twila and acrylic paints.

Black Scroll French

Hi,

It's like a ghost town on this blog (cue crickets).  Oh well.  Here is my newest manicure.  I did it last week and got a lot of compliments.  I just used Black Polish for the french, Zoya Snowsicle for the rest of the nail and black and white acrylic paint.  Let me know if you like it.  The youtube video is HERE.

Purple Water Color Pencil & One Stroke Flowers

Hello,

I was feeling experimental this week.  It's still a challenge with my wonky eye, but I'm trying to make the best of it.  So, if my detail is off, I have a good excuse!  If you want to view the tutorial, click HERE.

I used water color pencils (violet, white, & green) for the french manicure part and the flower stem.  I used a silver polish liner and acrylic (white & purple) paint for the flower.  Have you ever used water colors?  Let me know what you think.  I had a horrible time trying to do my right hand.  I finally realized that the brush I used to do my left hand wasn't sturdy enough for the right hand.  I need that rigidness to provide some control.  However, I believe in full disclosure, so I posted a picture.  I'm sure you all feel my pain in trying to paint your right hand nails.  It really is a matter of practice, practice, practice!!  I was seriously tempted to make my husband come into the room and learn one stroke so he could do it. Unfortunately, he was not interested in being my secret weapon....sigh.

 

The right hand....

Holographic Flowers

Hello,

I wanted to do something with my Halo polishes.  These are China Glaze ones. I just love how they look in the sunlight.


I used OPI Ink for the background (deep purple).  And I used China Glaze IDK, DV8, QT, L8R G8R, and BFF for the flowers and dotting.


As always, let me know what you think.  Click HERE for the youtube tutorial.

 This was the original test nail.
