Ocean Sunsets

Thank you for your patience! I am finally back at it and did a few quick ones this morning! I'm still wearing my Gelish Sunset Gradient and I decided to use that at my starting point. I'll be changing that soon to prepare for St. Patrick's Day this week!

I don't really have many pictures of this one to post because I just didn't like how they came out. Lots of shadows! It really has been awhile since I took pictures of my Nail Art in the sunshine!

That's all for today, I'll be back tomorrow with a few more pictures since by that time I'd gotten the hang of direct sunlight pictures!! Enjoy the last bit of the weekend!!

Palms in the Sunset

I'm very excited to bring you today's nail art - I hope it inspires you to relax and enjoy the weekend - even if you have work through it - hopefully you can catch a few moments to relax!!

One of the things I love about living where I do is we get some amazing sunsets. Even better we have views of the sunset with the shadowed trees in the foreground. It's an amazing sight and I thought I'd do my best to bring that to you today. This is one of my better efforts. I'm so in love with it right now that I'm going to post all four pictures!

I'm holding the bottle of shimmer I used on the gradient to give the sunset a little sparkle.  This particular one by Orly is awesome! It has a variety of shimmer colors and pretty much goes with EVERYTHING. 

Yah, I bought the plate for this solely for the palm tree. It also has a pineapple...now i need to figure out what do I do with a pineapple nail art?? ohhh now i have an idea!! ok back to the pictures.

One last one because I can.

I can see this one being popular. Mom's maid asked me today about me doing her nails...I think her hands would look GREAT in this! I think I even have the colors to do this one in Gelish, gotta make sure her mani lasts!!

Ok folks, I hope you found today's nail art worth the wait. I just needed a night to relax and finally finish reading hunger games. I can see my teenager didn't like it....but I like it. I'm not as embarrassed by the romance as she is. 

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?
