Valentine's day Designs

Yet again I have another snow day. I will be showing you some more designs.







Look at the purple one to the far right. That was a color I made by mixing up a whole bunch of colors. I liked this picture because it's the ONLY picture that captured the purple color correct lol.





Please disregard the smudge on the middle one =[ I accidentally did that when I went to grab something lol.

Black and Pink

I did get my 3 zoya polish's in yesterday! But with this gloomy weather I can't take any pictures outside! Ugh!

Left to right: Kali, Mercedes and Sirena.

This is my nail design for today/next couple of days. I KNOW I got the idea from someone else in the past but I don't recall who lol.







I used my new zoya color Sirena for the base color, and then ORLY Liquid Vinyl for the black. I did use my dotting tools for the dots, but the other hand didn't come out so well. I can't do anything well with my left hand lol. Lastly I used the Art Dec Strippers for the silver :) Hope you like it!

Valentine's day design

These aren't too great of art work lol I was never an artist but here are two valentine's day designs I made up:

I used Revlon Khakizing as the block/green/blue (whatever it is lol) color on the left, and the other pink is Oh Cabana Boy from ORLY. Then I used some strippers :)

Scented with flowers

Hi everyone, I have another manicure for you today! I used the base color of Revlon Scented Polish called "Bubble Gum" ( It really smelled like bubble gum when dried!) and then konad white stamping color with the stamp from plate m54. I then colored the petals in with NYC "Canal Street". As you can see I was not perfect with filling in the petals!








I don't have any sunlight where I live, so I couldn't take any outside pictures =(

New Zodiac Signs?

Who here believes in the Zodiac Signs? Because apparently they just changed. Not too sure if it's for everyone or just people born now. But on ABC news, it's been announced. Instead of being just a leo I would become both a Leo and a Cancer due to my birthday on August 10? Lol Just some fun news.

Better picture to yesterdays blog.

Wanted to add these pictures so you can see the nails better :)



 Please disregard the candy in the Victoria's Secret back LOL

Cowgirl up and Konad


The last picture is the closest I can get to what the color of "Cowgirl Up" looks like. Its an extremely beautiful color purple. Also on top of it, I used a small bottle of flakies from a previous post earlier this year to add on top. The heart is from the bundle monster plate BM02. The Konad plate of the butterflies is from the plate m36.

New Layout

I actually made the background and header image myself. Is it a bit too bright? lol Just want to make sure it's not too drastic.

Velvet Seas and Konad

Sorry in this picture my nails look greyish. Its actually the nail color Velvet Seas that I listed as one of my favs of 2010. The konad stamp is m63. I messed up quite a bit but oh well. I'm not too fond of the Konad white polish for this manicure because it shows up a bit too well in my opinion. Next time I'll try it with regular polish.

It's night time so I couldn't post a more accurate colored picture. Sorry!

Time to go play wii with my boyfriend!

Strawberry Icing!

I have a manicure today by Sally Hansen called "Strawberry Icing". I got this from Ocean State Job Lot <3



The second picture is the closest to the color, but it's still a lighter pink thank that. It's a beautiful color!


Oh and if anyone knows where I can figure out coding for layouts for blogger, or even a place that could possible formulate one and I do the graphics that would be wonderful. I think a change in look is in order.
