Today's News


So, something exciting happened to me today!! I was interviewed for the Today Show website! SO exciting, I never would have imagined that anything of that magnitude would EVER happen to me!! In honor of the article, I decided to do the Today Show logo on my nails!


I used OPI Alpine Snow Matte as a base, with Nubar Sexy Red for the red, CND Electric Orange for the darker orange, Zoya Jancyn for the lighter orange, and CND Bicycle Yellow for the yellow. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Woo!!! I'm soooo stoked! Thanks to all of YOU for being such great readers, and WELCOME to the new readers!!! :) You kick ass!! (and not the kind from yesterday's manicure)

LAST DAYS OF SUMMER

This is a handpainted design that was inspired by a Young Nails mentor Christie. I used purple acrylic and added 2 colors of purple mylar for the base. I painted the black and white design with nail art pens from miginailart.com

I love to do Calligraphy but I never thought I would be doing it on nails! Why not combine my only 2 talents to create some fabulous Hope and Love :)

OPI gel polish in opi ink :)

This is a mixture I created myself for my fabulous client that loooves pink. This color is officially called Cindie #2.

These are officially my first fall nails of 2010. I am excited for Halloween nails. It is the one thing that can cheer me up about summer almost being over.

Ooooh I had fun doing these nails. I used some black dazzlers from artglitter.com I mixed those with acrylic and made a little swirl on the nail. I also used blue acrylic and added blue mylar. Then I painted my new favorite design (inspired by Christie from Young Nails). Fabulous darling!

These nails have quite a bit going on. I actually had no idea how they were going to come together until right up to the end. I did every other nail different. I added the polish accents to tie everything together. Very fun!



Tried another Konad......and I don't really love it :(

So earlier this week I decided to try an image from the Bundle Monster plates, that I have never tried before. I can say, I'm not a fan, but I still wanted to share it. This is Claire's 14 Karats as a base, and Sinful's Black on Black for the design.


Sinful's Bamboo from the Shanghai Nights Collection

This was also another mani I did last week, or wait.....was it 2 weeks ago. Oh I don't even remember. But it is so pretty. I love the subtle shimmer in it!



Eyeko Vampira Polish....Turned Funky

So I did this mani about 2 weeks ago, and just loved it. I only have a few Eyeko polishes, but thi s is my fave!!






I decided that it needed something extra.....So I decided to do a matte tip & I'm so glad I did. I love it even more now! The Matte is OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark Matte.
