Today's nails were inspired by the Grateful Dead bears! :) Gotta love them in their colorful goodness, so I thought they'd make fun nail art!!

Tonight I had dinner with an old friend from Michigan who was in town, it was good to see someone familiar, and to catch up on the last 2 years! :) Plus we ate at le Burger Brasserie, where the burgers are killer (le paris for me- caramelized onion bun, caramelized onions, melted brie, and smoked bacon, all atop a half lb. burger. *drool*

Anyway, to the nails.

I used Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud as a base, with Pure Ice French Kiss mixed with Orly Gumdrop for the blue bear, and highlighted with Orly Gumdrop as well. For the neck, I used For the green bear I used L.A. Girl Army Green, highlighted with CND Bicycle Yellow, and a mixture of China Glaze Salsa and American Apparel Manila for the neck. For the yellow bear, I used American Apparel Manila, highlighted with American Apparel Cotton, and Pure Ice French Kiss for the neck. For the red bear, I used China Glaze Salsa, highlighted with CND Bicycle Yellow, and L.A. Girl Army Green for the neck. For the purple bear, I used a mixture of China Glaze Salsa, Pure Ice French Kiss, and Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud for the body, highlighted with Sally Hansen Professional Lavender Cloud, and Orly Gumdrop for the neck. Everything was outlined in American Apparel Hassid. Topped everything off with two coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Aqua Rose on Blue base

Hello my Sweet Nail -Art Lovers
What a wonderful time summer, i love it, even despite the heat :)
I love swimming outdoor and i swim everywhere lakes, reservoirs and pools - i love it. I really wish to move some day closer to the ocean, so i can have even more water to swim.
So here is my aqua manicure, i just got so inspired after jumping into the pool that came up with this mani. I know it is just a flower on a blue, but it really makes me feel like i got a splash of fresh cold water on my nails.I don't do much hand painting those days, due to the busy schedule, but i think this one turned out great. What do you think?


This is my right hand, i actually like it even more than left

200 POSTS!

Super cute toes and the picture actually turned out pretty good! Finally, it is soooo hard for me to take a good picture of toes. This is a glitter fade with glitter from Young nails in shock, pinkie, and sunshine. I painted tiger stripes on the top. Love these toes!

These are all colors from young nails that I marbled together and then I faded young nails hologram up into them.









This is gel polish. Happy Birthday Hannah!

Rescue Beauty Lounge - Scrangie

the yearning Please meet one of the prettiest purples ever! As you might already know, Rescue Beauty Lounge released a blogger collection back in 2009. Bloggin queen Scrangie came up with this gorgeous color what she describes as a medium blue-based purple with green iridescence and green microshimmer. Of course it sold out. Of course I wanted it. Wait, wanted? I needed it! After watching some go on eBay for ridiculous prices, I just gave up. But then! RBL decided to bring it back. Lucky me!

I need buckets of this stuff

In all honesty I think they changed the formula a bit in the second round, because I've ever heard a bad thing about this polish before. Could it be? I tried it on as soon as I got it, *with shakey hands from excitement*, and it just wouldn't dry and it started bubbling pretty bad. But, since it was a very hot and humid day, I decided to give it another go some other time.

Since we had some gloomy days around here, I figured it be a perfect time to cover my nails in this sauce of awesomeness again. Three layers later, it still bubbled a bit. But thankfully it dried and pretty quick at that! So, it may not be application heaven, I don't really care! The color is just too perfect, I'd paint EVERYTHING this color if I had gallons of the stuff. It stayed on 4 days without chipping, so that wasn't bad either.

RBL polishes cost 18 USD for 12ml and Scrangie is still available at the RBL website!

Well dear reader, this was it for today, thanks for stopping by and be safe!
