Spring Green

Happy Monday!! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I certainly did! I changed my gelish last night and it was completely weird! Usually when I remove my old gelish, the product sometimes completely comes off on the cotton and nothing is left on my nail. I opened my foil to discover that I had broken a corner of my pointer fingernail on my left hand and the gelish had been holding it firmly in place. The broken nail was actually still stuck to the gelish on the cotton ball. In retrospect, I should have taken a picture because it was just soo unusual!

I was too tired last night to do more nail art, whoever, I did an extra one the night before! woohoo! On to the pictures!


This is such a cute delicate design and I finally got around to it! I like the overall look, but I was sorely tempted to use a matte topcoat on the green - and I may still try it. I'm on the fence about it. I just love Emerald City so much! 


That's pretty much it for today. I hope you enjoyed! I'm already planning my "Fish Egg Friday" Mani and I've got everything ready to go. So many ideas and the need to copy designs I've seen from the other ladies that I've had to write them all down so I don't forget! lol

Have a Groovy Monday!

OPI Ink Stamping!

Good Morning! I hope you enjoyed yesterday's Fish Egg Friday post. I certainly enjoyed doing it and reading what everyone else came up with!

This morning's NOTD nail art is OPI's OPI Ink with a stamped design in silver.  I was trying out different full nail stamp designs from the recent plates that I purchased. I got so many that it's going to take awhile for me to get through them all. Take a look!


The design on the plate had half the nail covered with the stamped color as the background base color as a cut out and then switched on the other side to the exact opposite. No matter how many times I re-did it, I could not get the stamp to show the outlined flowers, only the cut-out side. Even though the full design didn't come out I still kind of liked it.


I tried to do it so you'd get different coverage on each nail, just to demonstrate how different it can look depending on how much you cover the nail with the design. I also took lots of pictures from different angles.



I hope you enjoyed today's post and thanks to everyone for their comments yesterday and the great participation from all the readers and the bloggers!!  Have a groovy Saturday and enjoy the weekend!
