Patriotic Toes


Its a rare occasion that I show my toes but I just had to show these!   I used Sinful Color's Blue By You on my big toes and Sinful Color's Sugar, Sugar on the rest. I then used Kiss Nail Art White Stripping on the vertical strips and Konad white stamping polish on the big toes with Cheeky image plate Ch5.

I love how EASY these were and how long they've lasted!

Week 14 of the Year of Polish Challenge: Glitter Stripe Nails

I did these nails last week and had to schedule them in advance to post today because OMG-I-have-3-papers-due-in-April!  Sorry if April's post appear to be sparse but I'll try to get in at least one post a week:)  Such is the life of a grad student!

Anyway, this week is Stripes and there is nothing I like better that seeing stripes on my nails.  The only way you can make stripes better is to add glitter. Lo and behold...


These nails started with a clear basecoat.  I then added one coat of Secret Admirer.  Next I applied a line of Blue Bash diagonally down my nail and filled in the rest of the nail with a thick coat of more Blue Bash.  I then filled in the next section with Traffic Stopper Copper.   Last I filled in the remaining section of my nails with Magenta Magic and used a topcoat to seal all that sparkle in!

 I know I've said it before but it bears repeating...Jordana Glitters are SO awesome.  Ok, ok...the Sephora glitters are cool too.  I am an equal opportunity glitter buyer but I "might" have a tiny addiction to sparkly polishes.  Tiny?!

Love how simple these nails were yet they have major wow factor.  I will say that the only reason I used copper glitter was because I somehow have not bought some chunky orange glitter polish.  Its on my list now but the copper is just as eye-catching.   Wear nails like these when you want them to be noticed!

Mother & Child Manis

My friend Jaime and I were playing around at her house and her almost 4 year old daughter, Sophia, wanted some pink nails while Jaime was interested in galaxy nails.  Sophia wanted every nail to be decorated so I stamped a white rose on each thumb, black polka dots on the index nails, stripes down the middle nails, silver glitter on the ring nails, and white hearts on the pinky nails. While I painted Sophia's nails, her mother painted her two year old sister, Lily's nails.



Jaime and I have both pinned these galaxy nails in Pinterest and I attempted to recreate them for Jaime.  I think they turned great!
