Polka-falls

This mani remind me of waterfalls, but with polka dots.

I wish I had time to do more intricate manicure/nail art. But where art thou time. I promise you, time flies when you get older, except in Walmart's checkout lines.

For this mani, I used Sinful Colors Sail la Vie for the blue and NYC Fashion Safari for the nude.

Thank you for stopping by.

Strawberry French

My family has been on a strawberry dessert kick lately. So why not bring our little tasties onto my nails, it would only make sense.

I did a french with white polish, the Wet n Wild and then I used acrylic paint for the rest. Sorry for the pictures, still trying to work my camera, ugh. When will I ever get it right. What do you think? Would you rock a strawberry french?

Target Nails

I live in a small town and we usually have to drive a hour away to do some serious shopping, but I rather shop online or just head over to Target or Tar-jay. I usually find some polish on super sale, which is cool.

I used Loreal - Rendezvous for the red, Loreal - I Will! for the white, and acryllic paint for the rest. It was fun drawing the dog, the dog is used on gift cards.

I used the stamp from BM 206 and filled it in with the red.

Star Trek

Okay, I am sort of a geek. But for the most part, these nails were done for my husband. He luvs Star Trek, and we will be watching it, with a newborn and all.

I used the Nabi Black, Wet-n-Wild - I Red a Good Book for the red, NYC - Midtown Mimosa for the yellow (after placing a white base), and for the blue I used Sinful Colors - Endless Blue. The rest were acrylic paint. And on the thumb and pink I used OPI for Sephora - If You Got it, Haunt it for the glittery goodness.

Will you watch Star Trek - Into the Darkness this opening weekend?




Chalkboard Nails

I did this one for instagram (@nailodocious) for the Nail Art May Challenge (#nailartmay).

This one was for the doodling challenge.

I used a Nabi scented nail polish in Black (bought from the 99 cent store) and painted a matte topcoat, and used a white nail polish for the doodles, the other I placed the Hard Candy topcoat in Black Tie Optional.

Are you participating?

Petal Pusher

I haven't been able to do much nail art like I really like, I can't wait until I do. But look what I have so far. I have been wanting to do a lily for awhile.

I used Sally Hansen's Instanail Petal Pusher for the light pink as a base and the rest I used acrylic paint.

What do you think?

Bows and Bows

I am so ridiculous at times. I meant to put this mani into a contest, and I forgot to write the name of the contest while taking the picture (Instagram protocols). Duh, oh well.

I used for the red, Zoya - Carmen, the light baby blue is Nabi Scented Nails - Milky Sky, and the white is Kleancolor - White.

I added rhinestones to the top portion of the thumb and a blue holo glitter to the ring finger on top of the  light blue. I used only polishes to create the bows and stripes.

Floral Pattern

I wish I knew what these flowers are called. Perhaps you do?

I must be on a minty color kick lately since the last couple of manicures I did.

The base color is a shimmery minty green, Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle - Gentle Blossom and then I used various color polishes instead of acrylic for the flowers and leaves and stems.

I did this for a monthly challenge on Instagram, too. Check out my instagram for details.
