A LITTLE TEASE

Here are a few pictures... more to come soon!
This is shocking pink, black hole and shiney from artglitter.com. I added silver and black stars and hot pink moons. You can't go wrong with black and pink :)

The acrylic on this is from the dazzlers collection on artglitter.com. I just did a random swirly design with three colors and added 3d flowers on the top. I really enjoyed going crazy on these nails.

2010 Color Club Holiday Collection - Enchated Holiday

Now here is the 2010 holiday collection minis from Color Club -
Enchanted Holiday
Almost all of these are very dupable, but still very pretty.

First is Enchanted Holiday, a very sparkly glittery gold, can't go wrong with these.





Magic Elf
This is my favorite from this collection, and probably my new fave green.This is a bright metallic/foil green with teeny gold shimmer in it.





Snowflakes
It looks like itty bitty flakies, and does resemble snow a lot! So pretty, but this would look best layered, here it was 3 coats





Finally we have
Wish List Red
A very glittery, sparkly red. There are quit a few of these out there, but still very pretty and perfect for the holidays. fyi my camera did not like photographing this color :( Much better IRL



I'm Afraid That's Classifieds


Day 338

A long, long time ago, in a land far away from Las Vegas, there was a redheaded girl who worked at a newspaper. She was young, just having finished her first year of college, and for her summer job, she got the chance to work for the Arenac County Independent. What did she do, you might ask? Well, she typed. A LOT. She also laid out the classifieds line by line with only an X-acto knife and waxing machine to aid her in her weekly adventure. She also had tons of fun with her two partners in crime there at the news office, Jennifer (affectionately known as Jenny- pronounced- GINNY) and Kipp. They had tons of fun, and ate wet burritos at the Granton Inn. It was a jolly time. :-D This girl was affectionately referred to as...Melanie. Was this her name? Not so much, it was still Melissa, her given name, but in an effort to not confuse Kipp any further than he already was...she allowed herself to be referred to as Melanie. (not that she had much choice in the matter) Fast forward to present...sadly the building we all shared laughs in has burned down, and we are all in our own parts of the world, doing our own thing...and Kipp is MUCH older. (but not Melanie or Jenny, they have retained their youthful good looks and charming personalities...as most women do) In honor of that superfun summer at The Independent, where proofreading produced the words 'doe snot' more often than the correct 'does not', I give you the newspaper nails! I have to admit, I can't completely take credit for the effect, I saw the idea at the ORLY booth at CosmoProf, and loved it. To make it even more special- I used the classifieds...


I used Butter LONDON Billy No Mates as a base, with newsprint transferred via alcohol. Topped it off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Now that's MY kind of recycling.

The Holo Hound

So tonight while I was waiting for my pizza & fries to be delivered, I decided to Konad. I love to do holographic Konad designs, and decided to use the houndstooth design, with China Glaze's BFF for the design.





Boyfriend Nails

Katy Perry Russel Brand VMA Minx MTV

VMA's

Hi guys! Maybe you've watched the MTV VMA's the other day? I've seen really freaky things, but if Lady Gaga can get away with wearing a meat dress, why not put your boyfriend on your nails? Well, that's what Katy Perry must have thought. Katy made her appearance to the event while wearing custom made Minx Nails that were made only a few days before the awards. Being a celebrity really opens some fantastic doors! LA-based manicurist Kimmie Kyees applied the Minx nails to Katy, so her fiancee Russel Brand would by her side after all!

Ha, I think these nails are really well done, funny, wouldn't take this too seriously. Of course they're ridiculous, but who doesn't love ridiculous! Love how she rocks the "My Little Pony"-do as well. Wouldn't it be awesome if you could design your own Minx nail design? I'd totally do it. Would you too wear your boyfriend on your nails or would you come up with something different?
