Teal with Gold Dots

Hello there! This is one coat of Julep Emilie with dots of Julep Sienna (applied with a dotting tool. Crappily.). I joined the Julep Maven program, and it has been pretty awesome so far. I'm not kidding though. ONE COAT. Amazing. 


Here is one in the shade:

Peacock Feather Rhinestones

This is two coats of OPI Jade is the New Black. On my ring finger, I used a whole bunch of different rhinestones (I got these ones from Born Pretty Store) to make a design inspired by the eye of a peacock feather. Application tips: I put some clear topcoat (not quick drying) over the color and used an orangewood stick to pick up the stones and place them. I made sure to use a new stick, because I licked the end of it to pick up the rhinestones. Just how I roll.  It looks a lot better from far away, but I can give you a couple closeups, since you're on the nice list this year.

Bright Leopard Print

For my son's 8th birthday, we had a wild animal show. So why not leopard print nails? My first time trying leopard print, and well... I need some practice. The base is 2 coats of China Glaze Recycle. The dots are all China Glaze Neons: Flying Dragon, Flip Flop Fantasy, Japanese Koi, Four Leaf Clover. The black is Orly Instant Artist in Jet Black. You can see on my pinkie and my ring finger, it started off kind of promising. But it is dark in my house, so I can't see very well if I do my nails at night. Also, I got lazy and tired. It was a cute idea, anyway. :)

I love owls.

Owls are one of my favorite animals. I have an owl tattoo on my arm. See?

So why not an owl tattoo on my nail? This is LA Colors Color Craze in Sea Siren (2 or 3 coats, can't remember) and the owl is from Big Ruby Nail Tattoos (the Tweet collection). I can't sing their praises enough. I LOVE these nail tattoos. So simple and so cute. I get LA Colors for $1.00 per bottle at Dollar Tree. Excellent deal.

Oh, and P.S. I cut my nails.

Teal and Glitter

China Glaze Four Leaf Clover (three coats) topped with LA Colors Color Craze Treasure Island glitter polish. The LA Colors polish is only 99 cents! This manicure looks much better in real life. The China Glaze is quite a bit greener.
