Love Birds

Hello again dear readers!

I want to show you this stamping nail art which I called "love birds"

I used the recently famous "Cinderella" by Sinful Colors. This is such a pretty color. My boyfriend bought me this nail polish, which is very rare for him to do. I suppose he is the source of inspiration for this nail art ♥

The idea for this nail art was that these two lovers have obstacles that keep them from being together....

In the end, love triumphs and they can finally meet.

For this manicure, I used Sinful Colors - Cinderella as a base. I stamped the birds from Q1 Konad stamp plate. I used the swirl and flower designs from A series plates A42 and A57. I stamped the LOVE lettering using Essence stampy plate. I used Kleancolor - Metallic Aqua as the stamping nail polish.

I hope you liked this manicure.

Thank you for reading♥

Easter Egg Nail Art

I just wanted to show you my manicure from Easter Sunday.

The main idea was to make my nails look like Easter eggs. I used nail stamp plates QA3 and QA15 for the decorative lines.

What do you think about this nail art?

Hello Short Nails!

Hello Dear Readers!

I want to show you how I finally cut my long nails a couple of weeks ago.

Well, my nails are not too short but still is drastic change.

This is the reason why I had to cut them... I have two serious split nails down to the nail bed. I thought that if I leave my nails long like these, I would really hurt my nails one day...

My nails will grow up long eventually, for now I will enjoy my shorties : )

This is the first manicure I did adter I cut my nails.

I used Kleancolor - Holo Chrome as the base.I painted the half moon design and stamped a puzzle pattern from XL A plate using China Glaze - Millenium. Sorry about this crappy picture. This design was really hard to capture.

OPI's Kiss Me On My Tulips

I have a swatch for you today from OPI's Holland Collection.  This particular color is called Kiss Me On My Tulips!  I know OPI names can be corny, but I like that because, well...I'm corny! I have a few more colors from the collection that I will be swatching later as well.

This color is a hot pink creme.  That seems pretty ordinary to say, and while the color is not that unique, the application is fantastic.  I haven't worn regular hot pink nail polish in a long time and most of mine have now become a little gunky.  I tried this on on though and remembered why I used to wear hot pink polish all the time!  It is so pretty, and the formula was so cooperative that this could have be worn with just one coat of polish.  It was opaque, there was no streaking, it dried quickly, and it wasn't too thick or too runny.  I have the mini OPI bottle of this, and these bottles have a very tiny brush, so sometimes application can be a little more difficult than with their full size pro-wide brush.  However, this was not a problem, so I can just imagine that between the great formula and a full size brush, it would be even more flawless.  If you are looking for a great hot pink shade for the summer, I really recommend checking this one out!

Feelin' A Summer Manicure!

After painting my daughter's toes a neon color yesterday I decided I needed some summery neon nails myself.  I used the same polish as I did for my daughter, China Glaze's Flip Flop Fantasy!  This was from their poolside collection about 2 years ago I believe.  I then went for a bathing suit inspired idea on my ring finger, and while my nails do remind me of a bathing suit, I think they also remind me of the 80's! Either way, it is bright and summery :-) At least my nails are bright even if it is gloomy outside.

For the ring finger I just used Essie's Blanc (a basic white) as a base color and then did the striping with some L.A. Color's Nail Art polishes. 

So, if you're feeling a little longing for bright summer days, pull out some crazy nail polish and bring it to yourself early!
