50 Shades of Grey Nails and Nailart

Yes, I’ve read the books. I’m not ashamed. I liked them too! By the third one I was skipping past all the naughty parts because I reached a point where I was more interested in the story, which didn’t reel me in like a really well written book does but I thought it was entertaining! And I think it would be fun to do a themed mani so I put together a few ideas for you…

I love this collection from OPI–a few grey’s, a sparkly grey, and of course a …

I have to be completely honest…I Googled Cinco de Mayo because I wasn’t quite sure if it was definitely Mexico’s Independence Day or not. Here is the definition Wikipedia so kindly generated…

“Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for “fifth of May”) is a celebration held on May 5. It is celebrated in the United States[1] and in Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla, where the holiday is called El Día de la Batalla de Puebla (English: The Day of the Battle of Puebla).
It originated with Mexican-American communities in the American West …

Live.Love.Carnaval Spring Nail Art with tutorial

25 Feb

I saw this idea on BioSculpture’s Facebook page and loved it! Luckily, my friend Tennille was game with letting me try it out on her yesterday!

We used OPI GelColor Live.Love.Caranaval which is so fabulous! It’s not quite as bright and fluorescent looking in real life. Kind of in between Cajun Shrimp and My Chihuahua Bites. I absolutely LOVE it though! It applies perfectly too–I did three coats on Tennille which is what I usually do with all my gel polishes so I was totally happy with the results.

Fing’rs Heart2Art Collection at Walmart

Strolling through Walmart yesterday I came across an awesome assortment of nail art paraphanelia, I believe in the jewelery aisle, and stocked up on some adorable International Themed decals, some quirky Love Note tattoos, and three rolls of striping tape! Woohoo! Oh, I also grabbed two stamping plates that have a love note stamp I’ve wanted for a long time! I also needed a new stamping scraper and stamper so I felt like it was totally justified. 🙂

These are also the final version of my vacation nails–I decided …

Tabeso nails!

These were a labor of love. The ring finger took me a good half hour 🙂 but anything for Tabeso 🙂

I am doing a nailart challenge on Instagram and the challenge today was match your nails to your outfit. I wore my Tabeso shirt for my sons Relay For Life walkathon at his school and realized it was about time I did some Tabeso nails! The Walkathon was fun even though my son ditched me. That’s ok, he had fun running with his classmates while I walked and enjoyed the …
