Cacti

I am on a cactus kick lately. I have been looking at cell phone cases, planter pots, so logically I had to do cactus nails.  That beautiful coral color with color shifting flakies is Painted Polish Coral Crusader. 

The cute little cacti are stamped from Uber Chic mini Succulents plate with Mo You Black Knight. I filled in using Orly Vintage. Now that I brought this color out I can not wait to paint my toes with it. How summery is that color?!? I thought it needed something so I added a couple little blooms using KB Shimmer Lei It Again. 

Because I wanted this look to be super glossy I added Glisten and Glow top coat for that shine.

Hedgehog Love

Well, it’s been a very long time. I am trying to get back into my love of all things nail art. I figured what better way then to start with cute Valentine’s Day nails.


I’m a bit rusty so my stamping isn’t as good as it used to be and I need a new white stamping polish but overall I think these are adorable.


I started with two layers of Color Club’s Je Taime before going in with UberChic plate 6-02 for the the swirls.


The cute hedgehog is from UberChic love and marriage 02. I stamped with black and filled in using Opi Samoan Sand for his stomach, Orly Prince Charming for his spikes, and Opi Quarter of a Cent-Cherry for the heart.


Of coarse I am still using my beloved Glisten and Glow top coat.

Christmas Nails for WNAC Week 4

I know I am a few days late but I wanted to take a few days off to enjoy time with my family. The last theme for Decembers challenge is Christmas. Instead of going over the top I went with something simple yet sparkly. I used three coats of Orly Bling on all of my nails before using a top coat to make sure they really shined. For my middle nail I stamped the poinsetta from Uberchic Christmas plate 01 with Mundo de Unas black. Once it dried on the stamper, I dabbed on some Bling and then filled it in with Orly French White. After applying it to my nail and cleaning up I used Glisten and Glow Hk Girl top coat.

Copper Autumn Leaves

As you can see by the sad state of my nails I have been having a lot of breaks over the past few weeks. I apologize for taking so long in between posts but they were honestly such bad breaks, all the way down past the quick, that I didn't really want to fool with them at all. I have finally nursed them back to the point where they aren't totally ratchet looking with nail art. They still have a ways to go before back to a good length but I should be able to keep doing nail art from now on.

I started out using two coats of Opi My Vampire is Buff for the nude base. While I was letting it dry I went in with plate BM-H11 from Bundle Monster and Mundo de Unas black and stamped all the leaves on the multiple stamp heads I have. It saves a bunch of time doing it over on several stamper heads as opposed to having to do it one nail at a time. I filled in the center of the leaves with Essie's Penny Talk and then went in with Orly's Flagstone Rush to fill in the rest of the leaves. By the time the stamp was dry to the touch my base color was dry as well. I used firm pressure to stamp the image on to my nails. Since it was minimal clean up all I did was take a brush and some acetone to the bits on my skin. After I pressed every loose piece down with my finger I went in with Kb Shimmer Quick Dry Topcoat to finish all my design.

Slimy Eyes

Being as it's the first day of October, the time has come for my first Halloween look of 2015. I am not going to lie, Halloween isn't my favorite holiday. My husband loves it but I on the other hand am all about Christmas. I have a few other ideas rattling around my head so this won't be my only look this year though. I kind of wanted to do something simple but yet still said Halloween. Going through my stamping plates I found Bundle Monster's holiday 06 plate and realitzed I had never used it. What better way to kick off the season than with some slimy eyes.

I used one thin coat of Opi's Apline Snow as a base for my orange which is Orly's Orange Punch. Using BM-H06 and Mundo de Unas Avocado I stamped the image and left it on my stampers. To fill in the center I used Fresh Paint's Burning Flame and Orly's French White. Since I left the image on my stampers so long filling in the colors I applied INM Out the Door over top to help it stick to my nail.

After cleaning up my cuticles I applied Kb Shimmer Quick Dry Top Coat before I finally applied Essie's Matte About You. I will say my camera absolutely hated the orange. With the color being so bright I had a hard time trying to capture an accurate photo so if they look a bit off I do apologize.
