The Girls Are Out!

Base color in Essie's The Girls Are Out.  I then topped off all but one nail with some transparent oil slick-esque micro beads...caviar.  I really love the way the light catches this manicure and how the base color really shines through!  I think these manicures are still pretty cool and give  are really great and different look! :)

Not much to this look...

In the Cab-Ana!!

Base color in Essie's In the Cab-Ana and sponged with Sunday Funday.  I stamped this with white Konad stamping polish and the "Tropical Holiday."  This was all topped off with Pure Pearlfection from the Luxeffects Collection.

I've been wanting this color for the LONGEST time.  Annnnnnddddd when I was taking a shower, it looked so cool with the water droplets.  So I took a picture. :)

Chic from Ears to Tail

Base color in OPI's Chic from Ears to Tail from the Couture de Minnie Collection.  I stamped this with OPI's Road House Blues from the Touring America Collection with the "Happy Nails" Cheeky Jumbo Plate for 2013.  I topped this design off with some different sized pearls.. for some reason, it seemed like a good idea.  I LIKE IT.  How about you??

I graduate tomorrow from UW-Whitewater and am super excited.  Hope you like this design!! :)

Stamp and Fill Tutorial!

Base color in China Glaze's Flip Flop Fantasy and flower filled in with Sun-Kissed.  This design done with white Konad stamping polish and the Cheeky "Tropical Holiday" jumbo plate.  Now this was something that I just learned, and quite honestly, should have known before.  I use nail stickers all the time when I do intricate designs that I'm afraid to mess up on my actual nail.  I'll take you through the step now:

First:  Pick your design.

Second:  Choose a color and transfer it onto your rubber stamper.

Third:  Fill in blank spots with a color of your choice.  Here, I filled in the center of the flower with Sun-Kissed.

Fourth:  Once that is COMPLETELY dry, top this off with a clear top coat.  Let that COMPLETELY dry.

Finally:  Peel it off.  Yes, you can see that is semi-transparent, but once you stick it on your nail, it will be clear.  That's all you do!  You can do this with any design!

The Lion King Nails!

Base color in Zoya's Creamy.

I did these nails because the Lion King was my favorite Disney movie growing up and I really wanted to do something for them.  I love the Broadway poster for the Lion King and decided to recreate it.  :)  Hope you enjoy these..they're probably my favorite.
