Operation Valentines Day–Part3

A Lovely Mani for Monday

February is here! Only 11 days till V-Day! I know a lot of people are not a fan of the day of love, which I totally understand, but I can’t help myself! Even if I didn’t have a reason to celebrate I would still love all the fun themes that go along with Valentines Day.

I did these nails for my beautiful friend Nicole. She told me I could have free reign. Well, anything but flowers is what she said. 🙂 I’ve been wanting to do …

Red Hot Sultry Nails!

Love notes, kisses, and gold glittery hearts = super sexy and sultry!

I bought these adorable nail tattoos last summer and haven’t used them much. I threw away the directions right away on accident and applied them wrong so I was afraid. But then Fingrs posted a tutorial on how to apply them the correct way and my life is whole again. I tried to find them to buy online and it’s nearly impossible. Here’s a link to see all the patterns in the package and then it looks like Walmart …

Gel Polish At Home–Everything You Need To Get Started

I just wanted to put a post together with all the necessary products to get started doing your own gel polish at home. It’s not necessary to spend a ton of money but I do feel like there are certain things you don’t want to skip.

I know a lot of company’s are coming out with very affordable LED lights and that’s great. I have one listed on my shop. But I truly believe you get a better cure with a UV light. I used Gelish’s LED light for a …

I think Valentines Day nails might be some of my favorite nail designs! So in honor of my love for nails about love I will be overloading my blog, Instagram, and Facebook with hearts and kisses and roses and all things Valentines Day!

Here’s my first mani and I really love it. It’s a lot prettier in real life. I just couldn’t capture the colors and diamonds and glitter on camera the way I would like so just trust me on this one. 🙂

Diamonds are a girls best …

The Price is Right Nails!

I just realized I’ve never shared these nails before 🙂 I did them over a year ago but they hold a special place in my heart for a few reasons…one of them being I adore Allison, the girl who is sporting these sassy nails and the other reason being I lived for the Price is Right back in the day. 🙂 My brothers and sisters and I were obsessed with the show! Allison actually went on the show which is why she did her nails like this…she didn’t get …

New Nail Art and a Tutorial Video!

I love these pens for drawing free hand nail art!

I picked mine up at CosmoProf Beauty Supply but you can find them on Amazon as well.

Here’s the video for the tutorial and a pic to go along with it. …

A few little experiments I conducted…

These are kind of random pictures but very important for the scientific advancement of nail art! 🙂

The first is my own gel nails I’ve had on for a few weeks now. I’ve been wondering for a long time if acrylic nail art would adhere to gel polish. I LOVE 3D bows and flowers but don’t want to glue them on because that would be fruitless so I finally figured out I am my best guinea pig and tested my theory…and I am happy to report that acrylic holds VERY well …
