Dream Cancun - Vacation Eddition

Oh my goodness, i want to go on vacation so bad, that i even draw it on my nail, to make me feel more like vacations. Does many of you are planning on beach vacation this summer?
I still don't know if something will work out for us, we kind of looking, but did not even decided anything seriously. All i can dream about right now is to be under the palm tree on the sandy beach :)
My husby is from Florida, so he does not really understand why i am so crazy about big water and palms. I am originally from a cold region of Russia, and the closest big water is 5 hours fly - and still it only will be arctic ocean. So palms for me is something really really cool. Haven' t seen it a lot in my life.

San-Fran-Nails

Funky nail art on the mirror image base . This mani reminds me hippy , summer , and joy. Unfortunately i have incredibly bad mood today, after visiting a dentist, so i just wonder how could i come up with something that cute and happy on my nails? I guess "poet needs to struggle" ( i don't even know if where is a saying like this in English language) .
Anyway , i think that mirror image is so much fun, and i totally love it. I wish i can buy some more, because i am scared to run out of it.
My dream polish #1 right now, is any matte, i d kill for one of those. But can't really get any right now, unfortunately.

Bridal nails


A simple set of wedding photo shoot nails.. She is a happy girl!


I added TiNS glitter (it's a sheer glitter) over the nail polish.. Loving the color! It's like a opaque nude pink shade with glitter. And some white with dark pink gradient 3D flowers to dress up the nails.

Glittery pink extension


As usual, can't capture the bling-ness of the holo flakes. Anyway, I love the simplicity of this set. 2 types of pink glitter used here.

Pick a Look

This modest cherry design is inspired by Brooks Cherry Pop
However my interpretation is much more modest ;)
I am in deep trouble, because my wisdom tooth is growing and it bothers me a lot, in fact it hurts like a hell, and i am too busy to handle a dental surgery right now. But i gave up, i have an appointment tomorrow, and will wear this manicure for the execution. I have a dentist phobia, seriously. I am very very scared.
So here is mani without glitter and on the following pictures i enhanced the look with glitters. Which one do you like better?


Nials goes wild

Yeas, this manicure has gone really wild.
I ll be honest, this is totally not my idea of doing this many, i have seen the picture of many like this online, but i can't find it anymore, no mater how hard i try. If i ll find it, i ll post the the link to the original picture. And honestly the original looked the way better then mine. I guess it is due to the nail size again.
Anyway, i know its a mess and it s wild, but i just totally like it, it looks really cool if not look too close

BUSY SATURDAY!

CLICK ON THE OLDER POSTS LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH PAGE TO VIEW SEVERAL PAGES OF MY NAIL ART**********
This is a great example of what could happen when you can't decide between two colors that you like. I think they turned out pretty "wicked"

Aren't these nails too cute! Both are done with opi polish and I finished them with the black tiger stripes! I hope you like your nails squishy!


The flowers on the ring fingers are made from fimo polymer clay. I did the pink tips in magnolia art glitter.

More fourth of July nails!

Metallic Gradient with Zoyas

For this manicure i used Zoya "Trixie" ( metallic base) and Zoya "Hyaden" (pink finish) .
First i covered nail with base color and then created gradient with pink transparent polish:
-Paint about 1/2 of nail with one thin layer of pink
- Add intensity with additional layers of pink on about 1/4 of the nail.
Metallic look really helps colors to look smoothly blended in each other. And the best thing is that this work really really great with almost all Zoya polish that i have, since they all are very transparent. Some design on the top also helps to smother gradation look.
