Tips - Pink Stripped

Inspired by a Pinterest nail art manicure I saw, I decided to try it.

It turned out just ok.Nothing like what I expected.

But again, what ever does?

The rhinestones drove me insane all day at work and even took a pretty hard beating.

Feeling A Little Retro

I'm not sure why but this manicure has me feeling like I just stepped out of an old-school New Kids On the Block concert...had an inspiration photo stashed away and decided to give it a go.

Loving it!

Used ORLY Dazzle, Sinful Colors Cream Pink and Kiss nail art paint in black.

I just love the coverage of this ORLY. It kicks butt. Sadly, I did my nails last night before bed and already at noon today, I've chipped a nail (the paint not the nail itself, luckily!). My nail art has been taking such a beating lately! I'm lucky if I can squeeze a full 24 hours out of it before it chips. I think my SV TC is failing me!

Soccer Nails!

My totally awesome lil' 1st grader had his first soccer game of the season yesterday so to celebrate with him, I sported soccer nails. He thought they were so cool (even though I was looking at a soccer ball picture to make sure I got the pattern correct, it still wasn't right...only me!)

Yea yea so they don't keep score, but I did! They rocked the other team 3-1 :-)

So starting off with the main nails, I used French Tip Dip bright white base, then used the Kiss nail art paint black striper. Finished off with Wet N Wild black tips using my French Tip Dip tool.

Accent nail is a base of Sinful Colors Envy with Avon Sweet Mint sponged over it. Then I took Bundle Monster plate BM-209 and stamped with Wet N Wild white across the tip in a diagonal line to be the goal net. Kiss nail art paint striper in white was used across the open edge of it to act as the net bar. Acrylic paint was used for the soccer ball.

Day 28 - Inspired By A Flag

Happy December 1st!!
I thought this manicure would be easy. I decided to go with the Italian flag to support my roots!

It started out red base with white tips...looking like a candy cane.

The I added a green tip over the white tips....now looking like Christmas.

Then I added some black accent dots...finally looking like a watermelon!

Ug, really! Nothing ever looks the way I expect. 

So here are my Italian Flag Candy Cane Christmas Watermelon nails! YAY!
