Pink Argyle!

Good Morning and a wonderful Friday Eve to you!! So I had previously joined pinterest, and one of the boards I created was of nail art I like and want to try out! Today's Nail Art is one that just love for it's simplicity and girly factor. I think I could have executed this one better, but I'm definitely not unhappy with the overall result and my execution will get better through repetition but you be the judge. I bring you Pink Argyle!

You will probably see this one again when I get it worked out so it looks much crisper and cleaner. The pink is OPI's "Pedal Faster Suzi" from the Holland Collection Mini Set. I'm not even going to mention how many coats it took to hide my sunset mani undernearth. I just love the overall look of this one. It's definitely the glitter accent and the jewels that give it the girly vibe that I fell in love with.

I may or may not have a post for you Friday, I'm starting a "fix-up" project on my work space and the initial portion of that requires that I move everything out to do what I need to do. So I might get that part completed today and everything back in and be able to do some more nail art, but then again, I may not get to the Nail Art. I will return as soon as humanly possible tho!!

More Bling!

Happy Hump Day everyone!! Today is going to be an exciting day for me. I'm teaching my daughter's pre-school class. Just before the Holidays I enrolled my youngest daughter in a cooperative preschool. All the mothers get together, decide on the curriculum, and take turns teaching the class and running the school.  I love the school and everything about it. I am very much looking forward to class today and enjoy working with the little kids.

I had originally planned to do a nail art that was inspired by the candy "skittles" by using my dotting tool but I am still just so unhappy with it that I've decided to show you something else today. I did these back in the fall - and I still very much like them both. First up is one I call "15 Minutes til Midnight". I chose that name because I set the time on the "nail clock" to that and it can either refer to the "Doomsday Clock" or as a New Year's Eve Mani - depending on when you're wearing it.

The next one is a Fendi Logo design that I did in Red and Hot Pink little faux sticker gems I got from Michael's. For obvious reasons, this one can only be done on a longer nail, but it's still very fun!!

It's pretty obvious from the picture that I used a fake nail for this one because my own nails weren't nearly long enough to do this with. I was just getting started taking pictures of my work on my own hands when I did this photo, so you can still clearly see that I only put the fake nail on ONE nail. It's such a fun design and I really should do another one properly. I have such a bucket list of nail arts I want to re-do and a equally long list of new ones I'd like to try!!  More than enough to keep me busy that's for sure!! 

 I hope you enjoyed one of my first bling'd designs and also one of my most popular! Have a Groovy Beautiful Day!

Beaded Palm Tree

Happy Monday Blogland!! I've got a fresh pot of coffee on and it's time to get to today's Nail Art.

As I have previously threatened, I found some designs to create with my new microbead set. In fact, I went and bought another set to go with the first...just for the variety of colors. For today's Nail Art I only did the beaded design on one accent nail but this could easily be worn on all five fingers. Most of my pictures here are done in my spare time and these days I just don't have as much of that as I'd like. But who does?

On to the Design!

Here's another shot of it, I am still having a lot of difficulties working out getting that Gelish base color to come out "true" in the photos. 

In case you didn't get to yesterday's post...the base color here is Gelish's "Taffeta". It's one of the two colors that comes in their basic kit, and it's the color I prefer to use on a basic french manicure.

What do you think? Would you even attempt something like this if you had the time?

Fashion Bling

Happy Saturday! I hope you're having a fun weekend and I'm glad your here today. I'll be showing you some older Nail Arts I did but never got around to posting. I went on a kick with small faux rhinestones, and designer logos while I was still in school, later I brought the designs with me to the salon and they were my most popular ones.

Because I don't have long nails and am unable to wear acrylic on my own hands, I did these one on a pre-made nail and used some press-on glue to attach them to my fingers. The base color here is Orly's "Liquid Vinyl" but you can use any color you like as a base color.

I hope you enjoyed today's "Designer Bling" See you tomorrow!!
