Orange Freestyle Challenge

This is Mani for Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge 

It is orange freestyle day....

I chose to to start out with a gradient of light to darker orange for the base. 

Then I stamped with white and used my dotting tool to accent the flowers and add some interest. 

I then topped with China Glaze Fairy Dust. 

This is NOT one of my favorites by any means.

I am STILL in the growing out phase of POST-acrylics.

My nails are NOT even close to where I need them to be.

I am taking daily vitamins and Biotin along with my Seche Vite treatments. 

Hopefully I will see some progress soon.

Summer Challenge Dots

Today's post is for Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge

Summer Dots

 

 

For this mani I used a bunch of summery colors for the base.

I painted them with a dotting tool in little patches.

Then I took a glitter polish to "set" the colors together better.

After that I took my dotter and added various colored dots and sizes throughout my nails.

Very easy and a F-U-N way to use LOTS of pretty polishes!!

Chelsea Flower Show

I just joined a facebook group called 

PURPLE CRUMPET FAIRY CHALLENGE

Today's challenge was Chelsea Flower Show

I admit to "cheating" by recycling an old mani pic!!!

Today is a bad day for me and oddly enough I don't feel like painting my nails. 

My father-in-law passed away about 9 months ago and today is his birthday. 

If I end up painting my nails it will be for him.

Possibly hunting or fishing themed.

For this mani I used punki purple from ultra PRO 

then I stamped black zebra with konad plate m57.

Then I stamped white flowers from konad plate m60.

I added some silver and pink rhinestones.

Hope you like you it!!! 

Water Marbling

Thought this was cute and it reminded me of my 1st attempt at water marbling!!!

What a mess I made!!! It was a FAIL!!!!

But now they turn out nice!!!

Hope you got a laugh!!

Soooo TRUE!!!!

The Sky's the Limit the Cow JUMPED over the MOON

I joined a Facebook group that participates in weekly stamping challenges. 

Its called Adventures in Stamping and this weeks theme was 

The Sky's the Limit.

I decided to do a night sky. I used Galaxy from Claires and then I stamped my images in Konad white. I went for the COW jumped OVER the MOON. Hope you like it!!! 

This was so much FUN!!

I can't wait until NEXT Sunday's challenge!!!

Seche Vite Rebuild

 

OK So here's my problem. I got suckered in acrylic nails and now I am ready to grow out my natural nails. There's nothing wrong with artificial nails but I admit I went to a lower end nail salon and ended up with the nail tech DRILLING and DRILLING my nail beds!!! UGHHH!! So here I am today!!! I have weak, thin, peeling natural nails that I NEED to get back to PRE-acrylics. They used to be healthy and strong WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?! Well today is day one!!!

I am going to try Seche Vite Rebuild. I have always used OPI nail envy as my basecoat so I wanted to try something different.

Here's a picture of day one:

This is a protein product that seals nail layers, builds thickness, and promotes nail strength. You apply this product once daily and then remove after 4 days and reapply. It CAN be used as a base coat!!! So if you are like me, that means that you can paint your little, brittle, stubs!! If you use as a base coat you need to remove BOTH polishes and reapply the next day. I can handle THAT!! HECK, I do that now!

So here's a pic of my painted stubs!!! 

You can't even tell that my nails are damaged! I am wearing Finger Paints Silkscreen Green from the Neon Collection stamped with konad m-73 in Orly Green Apple. I added some red and pink dots for "flowers" This was a quickie manicure since it will only last until tomorrow afternoon ;0)

Super Bass

I want to do bad things to you

Heart of glass

He slimed me

Heart Of Glass over Orly Black with blue and deep purple striping brush designs. 

I went TOO far ( in my opinion and added some silver swipes)

This color is AMAZING I got many many compliments even though my ever so UGLY nail art gone bad ruined Dolly's beautiful concoction!!! 

OHHHH Super Bass!!!! To be honest I only bought this because her polishes are WAY hard to snag and this baby was able to sneak into my cart. The pics I saw on the web didn't appeal to me but I HAD to buy some DOLLISH POLISH!!! 

I am so GLAD I did!!! This is my #1 Favorite! The purples and blues and beyond words!! This is a MUST to buy!!! This is layered over Orly black and side swiped then accented with a fimo butterfly on the ring finger. 

LOOOOVED this MANI and got more compliments than ANY other EVER!!!!

  

This is my very first blog post. I figured I am overdue considering how obsessed I am with nail polish! 

This blog will be a mixture of my own personal MANI's and possibly others that I see around that I like. Also I will post pics of new polish finds, limited editions, indies, etc.

I would love to start swapping.

OK here goes!!
