What's the Mod-der?

Obviously, since I write this blog, I tend to write about and paint things that I love. Today is no exception, the design in today's post was based off the background fabric in a picture I can across on a nail art site that I can't find again... if it was yours, tell me, so I can credit you. Anyway, the fabric had a really mod, retro feel, which I absolutely adore, and when I saw it, I knew that I had to do a nail art version! I don't know what it is about this design that I love so much! Plus- it was EASY! The only tool required was a dotting tool! :) Would y'all like a tutorial of this?

I used American Apparel Cotton as a base, with American Apparel Hassid for the flower shapes, then for the colored centers, I used Essie Foot Loose, Sally Hanson Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in 06 Sun Kissed, Pure Ice Wild Thing, Zoya Yummy, and American Apparel Manila. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

And, as an added bonus- look at my new pet!! :)  (I found him when I got home from work!)

Fall in Colorado Manicure

Hello My Sweet Nail Art Lovers
Todyas manicure is inspired by the beautiful golden fall - here in colorado.
This is just ubelievable how quick everythinbg turned to gold, yellow, red and cabernet coulor. I swear changes happened in a single week. So i felt like something delicate and goldy on my nails for at least couple days of this beautiful season.
And where are also more one stroke nails on a way for you, so stay tuned.
Thanks.

Sinful Swatches....Part 2

Okay, so here are the rest of the Sinful's that I got in my order. If you missed Part 1, I posted it this morning :)

This is Morph Marie. I did layer it over black, but this was only 1 coat

This one, I know isn't new, but I decided to order it and try it

It's Bali Mist

I took so many pictures just so I could show you all the pretty colors in it. This too is 1 coat over black

Agaci,looked way better in the picture and even the bottle.
I figured it would be sheer, so I first did a coat of China Glaze Recycle. Now, maybe if I would have done 2-3 more coats, I would like it better, but I'm just meh about it.

Last but not least is Kansas. Now I HAD to get this one, and the only reason I did, is cause it's my home state. Wow, I miss that place. I haven't had a chance to swatch it yet, sorry. AKA - Umm....I may have misplaced it, eeeek.


I got these all of of their site, and haven't myself seen any of these, other than Bali Mist in stores.

New, to me Sinful Swactches.............Part 1...Who doesn't like a Happy Ending!

I ordered a few Sinfuls, from their site, and am very pleased with what arrived in the mail.
First is my hubbys favorite and my favorite named one. It's called Happy Ending, lol.

Happy Ending

Kismet Elated
