Watermelons!

Fruity just in time for summer!

All Sinful Colors, colors :-)

Animals - Panda Bears

With some more inspiration from Simply Rins, I decided on Panda Bears.

I added a colored background as well as mouths on them. No where near perfect like hers but still cute :-)

I also added a Bamboo accent nail because no Panda is complete without food!

Animals - Frogs

Day 3 in my personal challenge of animals. Again, I'm not liking how my frogs came out but I'm loving the accent nail!

Animals - Piggy In Pink

Day 2 in my animal week of manicures. I did pigs! All my light pinks were so translucent that the two shades I chose were so close its hard to see the detail.

My inspiration came again, from Simply Rins.
She has some amazing art work!

I was given a HUGE tub of about 75 polishes from my aunt on Christmas Eve, mostly OPI. I've found some pretty gorgeous ones. Tonight's brown came from the collection.

Went for 2 accent nails tonight, stray from my usual

Hand dotted white dots

I used:

*OPI Shim-Merry Chic 

*Sinful Colors Beautiful Girl

*Pure Ice Peony

*W&W Sally Hansen Whirlwind White
(thanks for the mistake pointing Liz :-p)

*Kiss nail art paint in black

*Off brand yellow fimo bow

Snowflake Tips

Yes! Another tipped manicure! I should start calling it Tipmania :-p

Today's inspiration came right from I'm Feeling Nail-venturous. Came across her manicure and again, like last nights mani, couldn't get it out of my head. Certain ideas just get stick there and I have to try them or else it will bug me! I'm so glad I did them because WOW! She had such an amazing idea and even on me, I think it came out awesome!

The goodies to get this done

*2 tip coats of China Glaze Bahamian Escape

*2 tip coats Sinful Colors Hottie

*1 coat China Glaze Fairy Dust

*Stamped with Bundle Monster plate 14 in SH Insta-Dri Whirlwind White

*Off brand blue rhinestones

More goodness

I added the rhinestones for a lil extra bling so I wasn't totally copying IFNV and plus, I've been really enjoying rhinestone accents lately.

Hottie applied in a gel-like application. It made my tips a bit thicker than the rest of the nail bed but a thick top coat kind of evened it out. It turned out beautiful over Bahemian Escape and Fairy Dust over it though :-)

Sugar Plum Presents

Bought this Color Club Sugar Plum Yum a while back and have been needing to use it. 

I'm kinda impressed with the scent. Even with a thick top coat, I can still smell the fruitiness of it!

Chunky as all get out though.

I also added a present accent nail. The purple base seemed to bleed into the silver ribbon though so it looks like purple silver :-s 

Darn manicures never come out the way I intended! Still eye candy though!

Check her out!

Holly Tips

Came across a gorgeous manicure picture, but of course, I've since forgotten where I saw it.

Decided to give it a try. Granted my Holly leaves came out looking nothing like the real thing, the berries have saved the look so you can actually get the idea of what I was trying to accomplish lol. Still came out pretty. Very feminine to me.

The products I used

*1 coat ORLY Twilight

*1 coat Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Whirlwind White tips

*Sinful Colors Envy + Color Club Object of Envy for Holly leaves

*Off brand red round rhinestones for berries

More pretties

Happy Birthday time!

It's my lil man's birthday today (the 10th) so I decided to celebrate with cupcake nails!

The tiny beads are already bugging me though :-)

Happy Birthday Bradley!!

My lil man <3
They really don't come any cuter than this.
