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 …

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 have a few new nail styles to show you guys that I think are pretty great! 🙂

And I put a video together on the black roses I drew on the Flip Flop Fantasy mani. These roses are so easy if you have the right tool, which looks like this

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. …

More and Less for 2014

I saw a version of this on Pinterest and loved it but wanted to customize it for my 2014 goals. I also created a blank copy if you want to save it and upload it to the Rhonna Designs App and edit for your own “More’s and Less’s”. 🙂

Here’s the blank version and a link to purchase Rhonna’s amazing software…it’s the best thing ever to happen to my iPhone 5. 🙂

I’m not a big “Resolutions” fan but I believe whole heartedly in …

Las Vegas New Year’s “I want to go on a tropical vacation” Nails PLUS my third YouTube Video!

We are going to Las Vegas soon so I couldn’t wait to get my Christmas tree down off my nails (check them out here) and put some FUN nails on that would be inspiring for a New Year and make me think of a white sandy beach and turquoise blue waters! I keep seeing pictures on Instagram of a few lucky souls who are going to Hawaii, the Caribbean, or even my dream vacation The Maldives like Aaron and Lauren Paul did for Christmas. They seem like such a cute …

Festive and Merry Nails!

I’ve had a fairly busy week and created some cute stuff! A major accomplishment being I did my own nails! I sculpted out a super short tip with hard gel which I was dreading but turned out not being too horrible 🙂

Anyway…here’s a few new photos for you!

And here’s a before and after of my new hands :)))

And the finished product!

All the colors and nailart are done with gelpolish. I used Axxium by OPI to sculpt my new set. I really like OPI hard gels but there are a few …

Santa’s Buckle :)

I just wanted to share this cute and simple design…you can jazz it up as much or as little as you like…

I used Gelish Queen of Hearts for the red and Gelish Black Pool for the belt and then did a thin square of silver sparkle gel polish and hand placed the hex glitters for the buckle.

I actually got the inspiration for these from these nails by Urban Bliss Beauty Therapy in Victoria, Austraila. See what I mean by jazzing them up?!? Tennille just wanted to keep it simple …

Manis on Monday!

I cannot believe Thanksgiving is over! The holidays are flying right by us and before we know it 2014 will be here! However, I have a feeling the cold spell coming upon us this week will slow time down at least for a little while. 🙂

Last week was busy with baking and cleaning but I also had a few last minute nail appointments as well, which is great! I feel like I haven’t been super busy with nails lately so I always look forward to seeing my few friends and …

Some Fun, Stylin’ Holiday Nails!

Check out these cute nails!

My friend Nicole scheduled her Thanksgiving appointment and said she wants silver, gray, black, and white colors but I get to choose the design. I had a couple days to get ready which I’m not sure is a good thing because I got slightly obsessive about it! Eek! I spent hours on Instagram looking for those colors and I really couldn’t find anything I loved…so I got out the sketch pad and went to work. 🙂

I told Nicole when I started to reign me …

Fall Maroon and Turquoise Nails

Just wanted to share these cute nails!

These are Jessica’s Gelish mani–we used Gelish Forbidden Love, Need A Tan, and Jetset with Youngnails Mani-Q Green 101. This color combo inspired me to do my own….

I used my favorite maroon polish Essie Skirting The Issue and China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle. The gold studs are from Sally Beauty. I can’t stop staring at my nails…I think maroon/dark red is my favorite nail color of all time! 🙂

Thanks for reading! I have some interesting thoughts going through my head for tomorrow’s post! …
