Palm Tree

Hand Painted, perfectly fresh and colorful. :)
I draw it yesterday and decided that it is pretty enough to share it with my dear followers and all visiting nail-lovers.
I am so jealous to the people who lives around palms, for me it is something really really special, i love palms. Probably because nether seen much of it in my life.
I also dream about image plate with palm, and hope to order it one day.

Fourth of July & Summer fun!

I went to a nail art class tonight and got some more inspiration for nail art. I hope to put what I learned to use and post some pictures that are different than what I've done before so check my blog in the next week or so....Oh yeah and don't forget to click on the Older Posts link at the bottom of this page to view several pages of my nail art. Thanks!
More fourth of July nails!

More fourth of July nails!


These are little light green mylar flowers with yellow polka dots added. They are so holographic and bright that I had a hard time getting my camara to focus on them.


These nails are done with opi soak off gel. It is a brand new product made by opi. It is a gel nail polish that is cured under a uv light. It lasts for 2-3 weeks with no chipping! It is an amazing product. You can purchase the matching nail polish if any touch ups are needed between appointments.

These are some super fun nails that I did but the picture didn't turn out that great. The ring fingers have real dried flowers in pink and yellow that I overlapped. The pink and yellow dots are from the cina pro dots and rings kit.

FrankenPolishing exirience - Part 2

It is about time to revel the secret of the kitty nails. In fact the base color for kitty manicure is my first official franken polish.
So after spending hours and hors trying to create somehting at least close to nice, and number of fails, i came up with the better idea. if you cant do soemthing ,see how others do it and do the same. I was admiring this color for a long time, since i seen it on Dr.Frankenpolish Blong , so decided just follow instructions given where. Except i used my own polishes, which are close in color to whose that she used, and i did not add any clear polsih, because i want it to be opaque.
May be one day i ll be able to make somehting myself, but so far, at least it worked, even that the idea is not mine. Thank you Dr. Frankenpolish - to be my guide on frankening.

One bottle used and 3 to go, stay tuned for more Franken Polishing experience

It is all about Hello Kitty

This is just one of whose manicures that no meter what, i just can not wait any longer to share it with you. I will revel some details about polishes i used here tomorrow. The only disappointment is that "giant stamping Kitty" fits only on 2 of my nails, i try really hard to do the same design on all the nails, but i gave up after many times, it just too big :)




FrankenPolishing Expirience - Part1

This is going to be a series of post about my experience with frankening polishes.
I was always inspired by people making their own polishes, especially i admire work of Frankepolish blog, and want to thank her for useful tips.
So i always wanted to try it - because it look like really fun to do, colors can be wonderful, and does not look to hard to make. (he-he)
Since i am not sure how it all going to turn in, i decided start to do it with the supplies i have, without ordering additional stuff. ( partially the hole decision to franken is based on the economical situation in my valet)
In this part i will provide you with some tips how to clean old bottles from polish, so you can use it for frankening,m instead of order empty bottles. It is not really hard task but require some pation :) Another good reason to start with old bottles, is because you can use smaller size bottles which will require less supply waste.
I started with picking some smaller size all polishes, and when added acetone to it. Actually to simplify this task i made a cone out of old coke can, just cut it with scissors.

i let the the polish melt for about 20 minutes and then located it upside down to let ti float from the bottle. You ll need to repeat it several times,letting it melt for 10-20 minutes each time acetone is added. I was afraid to drain this stuff in the sink or toilet ( glittery toilet is not my big dream lol ), so i used another coke can. it is also very cool that you can leave the bottle upside down, like this

After all those precedures you ll end up with clean enouth bottles that can be used for frankening and expressing your creativity

However i realized that i totally suck in mixing polishes.. i spent like 4 hours playing arround with samples,and i didn't like a thing... really, this is not as easy as it may look. So stay tunes for Part2 , to see if i can make anything to put in my clean bottles.

Last Dream in the Morning

This manicure reminds me of something light and fragile, that will just fly away from you forever if you ll try to catch it.
The base color is Essie "Carousel Coral" - amazing color, that i love so much, but cant use often, since it goes with nothing from my cloths or accessories, and not in my color type pallet. But i still just love it, and enjoy it on my nails from time time
