Cinderella Nails!

So, about a week and a half ago, I went to see the new Cinderella movie with my mom, my sister, two of my nieces, and my oldest daughter. Of course, I had to paint my nails for the occasion!

This one was done with Zoya Sailor, and stamped with M Polish Starflower using plate 204 from my Shany plate set. I LOOOVE M Polish!

This mani was also featured on the Zoya website. :-)

One of these days I'll get all of my featured manis put in that there tabby-do at the top!

Push Your Mani - March 2, 2015

Howdy! If you like challenging yourself with your nail art, you're probably aware of a few monthly challenges on Instagram already. Well, this one comes to you from @Push Your Mani! This particular challenge holds a special place in my heart because I've been chatting with the person in charge of it for quite some time now ;-) I love these challenges because they really make me try things that maybe I haven't tried, or just haven't thought to try. I do enjoy them but alas. I am a slacker, and I don't do them enough!

I've done stamping in the past, but just plain old stamping. I've not been brave enough to try advanced stamping until now. I used Sinful Colors Hazard and Solar Flux for my base colors, and stamped with Sinful Colors Nirvana using my Cici&Sisi plate 5. I filled the stamp in with Revlon Hypnotize, Sinful Colors Hazard and Mint Apple. I actually love how this turned out, even though it wasn't my original plan.

Check it out! What do you think?

See you next time!

Playing with Julie G and nail guides

In an attempt to continue out of my funk (which is all but gone, now!), I wanted something fun. Something bright. Something...funky and geometric. I really had high hopes for this mani, but I was somewhat disappointed with the outcome. They're pretty, but I should have used a more dense glitter, or a solid color in place of the glitter with the guides.

I used Julie G Fierce & Fab, Wet & Wild Fergie Take the Stage, and Kiss nail guides.

And a close up of the accent nail so that you can actually see the detail! It's a little blurry, sorry!

I will get my hands on some chevron nail vinyls soon!

What is your favorite vinyl design?

"For Audrey"

Well, here's my first full mani since Valentine's day! Yeah...I went a whole week with naked nails...or just my Shinespark swatch on. Some polish addict I am!

Anyways. I wanted to get out of a funk that I've been struggling with, and even swatching wasn't really doing anything for me. Usually, if I'm in a funk, swatching will bring me right out of it, and will get the creative juices flowing again. Heh. Not this time. I had to force it!

So, without further ado, meet China Glaze For Audrey, Sinful Colors Snow Me White, and some really cute nail gems! I use my Shany #224 plate for the bows. I am loving stamping! A while back, I actually thought stamping was cheating. Psh. I was so wrong!!!

What's your favorite nail art technique?
