Blue Glitter Leopard Mani

I was feeling lazy today but I needed something new to look at. The previous mani lost its cherries, lol. I was doing some gardening today but not only that I was making art :D I found some awesome Moss Art pictures last year and decided it was time to try it out myself. Maybe I'll post the pic of my supposed mossy art project :D

Ok ok, enough about gardening and moss. Nail time. So like I said, I did a lazy mani, nothing flashy or too creative. I knew I wanted glitter and lots of it, and as always I can not get enough leopard print :D

It came out pretty ok, But I think I still prefer the freehand method :D Oh and also ignore my thumb nail, I totally nailed that one lol.

Ok, I already put away the polishes I used so from memory:
I used 2 different nail polishes as the base Sally Hansen HD Spectrum and Finger Paints Laugh My Art Off
The Black is Finger Paints Black Expressionism 
and a new Topcoat I'm trying Orly Polishield 3-in-1

Ok, Now for my moss art :)

Hopefully in a few weeks it'll be a big lush green moss masterpiece :) We'll see. The first time I tried this the rain washed it away, but this time I got smarter. I bought water retention gel pellets, that should help :D But like I said. We'll see.

Ice Cream Mani

Good Morning :D
Do I have a treat for you guys!! I scream you scream we all scream for Ice Cream!!!!
I went to Claire's and found the cutest earrings ever. Ice Creams, Donuts, Cupcakes, Popsicle, Pop-tarts, Cotton Candy, Fudgesicles, and Sno-Cones!
So for the first time in a while It was warm in Chicago (yesterday) :D So I wore my Ice Cream earrings and decided to do my nails in the same fashion, Oh yea!! So without further delay, Ice Cream Bowl Mani's. (My nails weren't pointy or long enough to do cones, lol)

 The Earrings!! 

I'm so excited about my nails, I used my Konad stamp for the cones, mostly because I'm really bad at drawing straight lines, so I'm glad I remembered that I had that pattern on a stamp, saved me a big headache.

Also I'm happy with the end result of the cones color, I had to mix colors and usually they end up looking cloudy/muddy and ugly. So that's a plus.

The Cherries are pearls that I bought at Hobby Lobby, I Just slapped some red polish on them :)


Polishes I used for this Mani:
The Cone Base KleanColor Cappuccino + Finger Nails Paper Mache
The Dark Brown on the cone is KleanColor Dark Brown
The Ice Cream brown is the KleanColor Cappuccino by itself
The green is Revlon Minted
The yellow is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow. 
And the pink is Fresh Paint High Voltage 
I also used Essie Matte About You on top of the cones to make it look realistic.
I used Konad Plate m57 

Nail Art from the Past

So I gathered all my favorite pictures of previous nail art :) Let the show begin.

                                                Black and silver Bundle Monster dots.

 I love this blue, its by Sula its a Paint and Peel.  

 These were inspired by my dog, CuppyCake :D I believe I did these around my birthday last year. 

French multi colored leopard I loved these!

Fimo fruit. I had to file them down a bit just to get them to stay kind of low on the nail. I was working at a clinic around the time I did these, so I used about 5 maybe more layers of top coat. I didn't want the fruit to be dirty and spread diseases around ( I worked with blood) I took them off after a day :( Just because I didn't want to be gross.Although the girl I worked with had pretty long nails, not for me. The medical field is not meant for long and cluttered high nails.

 Gold Glitter Leopard!!!

Two tone nails. I used Finger Paints 'Art You Wondering?' (green) and Finger Paints 'Laugh My Art Off' (Blue) It ended up looking like the ocean. Two layers of both.

I used the Finger Paints 'Art you wondering' and 2 layers of Seche Vite Top Coat

 Again plus a gray tip

 Halloween themed. I used the Bundle Monster Stamps. They turned out lovely.

Frankenstein Nails

 Did these on around Valentines Day

 I used lace fabric I had laying around. and 2 layers of Seche Vite top coat.

 This is a crappy picture. The pink is by Hard Candy. The Stars are stamps from Bundle Monster set.

 I love these, I did theseApril 2011. It had been raining a lot and I decided my nails should match the weather.

Summer 2011. I wanted to be one with water, and a boat captain that day. Next best thing? Nautical Nails. I shall try these again soon. Summer is coming. I might want to be one with water again. Lol.

Ok, I know I have more somewhere.Even If I don't find them I'll be here brainstorming. 

Thinking of new idea's. Let the creativity begin :D
