Essie Madison Ave-Hue with Pure Pearlfection and Nail Art
First off, I bought this Essie color yesterday and I love it! Madison Ave-Hue is a pretty pink/purple with a slight shimmer. The application was flawless with two coats. I applied a coat of Pure Pearlfection over it to give it a little more shimmer and love the results. I did this mani for an Instagram Nail Art Challenge, my first one I will have you know. 🙂 With an Instgram Nail Art Challenge it’s normally a daily challenge to …
Ashley’s Spring Mani
I can’t believe it has taken me so long to post this fun mani I did on Ashley’s beautiful nails! I kept thinking I was going to Photoshop the pictures….but I just finally gave up on that thought and decided to edit them in iPhoto instead…I promise I will make your hands PERFECT one day Ashley! Even though they are perfect already…well maybe if it weren’t for Crossfit they would be a little more perfect 🙂
I wanted to do a spring mani and I wanted …
Oz Collection by OPI Nail Art
My beautiful sister Mandy stopped by yesterday for a real life official nail appointment. This is an amazing accomplishment for us because we constantly make nail appointments for her that we never keep due to kids schedules or random life interferences. We painted her nails last week and they actually lasted fairly well though, all thanks to the wonderful product Seche Vite!
After she had removed her own polish because I didn’t want to mess up my new navy and mustard yellow mani 🙂 …
Blue, yellow, & white with Chevron and studs
I used OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui on my pinky and pointer fingers, OPI The It Color on my middle finger, OPI Alpine Snow on my ring finger, and China Glaze Angel Wings on my Thumb. I placed Art Club Nail Art White Gems in a chevron pattern over The It Color and hand painted the yellow chevron stripes with a Color Club Yellow Striper. The yellow chevron was not very difficult I think because yellow over white is very forgiving. …

This is my sister Mandy probably 12 years ago when we were living together on Main Street…isn’t she a babe! 🙂
Mandy in my kitchen…one of our favorite places to hang out. Still a babe!
These cute nails belong to my big sister Mandy. She came over to my house yesterday to let our kids play and get their wiggles out and I talked her into letting me paint her nails. She has been wanting me to do either gel or acrylic sculpted tips to increase her length …
Vintage Grandma gets vintage spring nails by her modern vintage granddaughter
This is my cute Grandma Irene. She has been on this planet for 93 years now! I don’t get to spend a lot of time with her, partly because life is so busy for me and my little family and partly because she is a stubborn homebody who doesn’t like to make house calls. I don’t blame her, if I couldn’t move and think as quickly as everyone else around me I’m not too sure I would want …
I’ve been dying to use this new color from China Glaze’s Avant Garde Collection–a pretty lavender color called Tart-y For the Party.

Kendra’s Cancun Nails
Pink acrylic sculpted nails with Shellac Tropic and Mani-Q Green 101 with Gold Studs
I love how they turned out! I do a light pink acrylic sculpt with Kendra because she is a nail biter (I was once a biter too!) and then I finish the design with gel polish. Kendra wanted coral and turquoise nails to match her bikinis she is taking with her to Cancun, …
