Summer Nails!

DON'T FORGET TO CLICK ON THE OLDER POSTS LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE TO VIEW SEVERAL PAGES OF MY NAIL ART*********
This is aqua blue acrylic with white & silver mylar stars. I finished with a gel top coat. Now you're extra famous Ally!

Fourth of July rebel! This is a fun spin on fourth of July nails. The blue tiger stripes were painted on with polish.

These are little pink mylar flowers added into the acrylic. If you're a regular reader of my blog I'm sure you're not surprised that I added pink dots!

This is a fun design I did with mylar dots. I put a thin layer of acrylic on and then added the dots on top while it was still a little wet. Then I added clear acrylic on top of that. I finished with a gel topcoat for extra shine!

This is pink and white acrylic with little painted white dots as an accent. I did the ring fingers with an opposite color scheme of the other nails.

Silver Fantasy

This si another gradient that i made using zoya Kotori. It come up not that visible on the pictures, but in fact the gradient from dark dark blue to the lighter shade and glitter is in fact very noticeable, and even my friend asked me how i made this effect. The darker base is Zoya indigo, and then i put the layer of Zoya kotori starting from about 1/2 of the nail. Again, the koni on the top, helps to smooth the gradient.
More manicures are coming up this weekend, so stay tuned, for the review of the Zoya french manicure :)

Dream Cancun - Vacation Eddition

Oh my goodness, i want to go on vacation so bad, that i even draw it on my nail, to make me feel more like vacations. Does many of you are planning on beach vacation this summer?
I still don't know if something will work out for us, we kind of looking, but did not even decided anything seriously. All i can dream about right now is to be under the palm tree on the sandy beach :)
My husby is from Florida, so he does not really understand why i am so crazy about big water and palms. I am originally from a cold region of Russia, and the closest big water is 5 hours fly - and still it only will be arctic ocean. So palms for me is something really really cool. Haven' t seen it a lot in my life.

San-Fran-Nails

Funky nail art on the mirror image base . This mani reminds me hippy , summer , and joy. Unfortunately i have incredibly bad mood today, after visiting a dentist, so i just wonder how could i come up with something that cute and happy on my nails? I guess "poet needs to struggle" ( i don't even know if where is a saying like this in English language) .
Anyway , i think that mirror image is so much fun, and i totally love it. I wish i can buy some more, because i am scared to run out of it.
My dream polish #1 right now, is any matte, i d kill for one of those. But can't really get any right now, unfortunately.

Bridal nails


A simple set of wedding photo shoot nails.. She is a happy girl!


I added TiNS glitter (it's a sheer glitter) over the nail polish.. Loving the color! It's like a opaque nude pink shade with glitter. And some white with dark pink gradient 3D flowers to dress up the nails.

Glittery pink extension


As usual, can't capture the bling-ness of the holo flakes. Anyway, I love the simplicity of this set. 2 types of pink glitter used here.

Pick a Look

This modest cherry design is inspired by Brooks Cherry Pop
However my interpretation is much more modest ;)
I am in deep trouble, because my wisdom tooth is growing and it bothers me a lot, in fact it hurts like a hell, and i am too busy to handle a dental surgery right now. But i gave up, i have an appointment tomorrow, and will wear this manicure for the execution. I have a dentist phobia, seriously. I am very very scared.
So here is mani without glitter and on the following pictures i enhanced the look with glitters. Which one do you like better?


Nials goes wild

Yeas, this manicure has gone really wild.
I ll be honest, this is totally not my idea of doing this many, i have seen the picture of many like this online, but i can't find it anymore, no mater how hard i try. If i ll find it, i ll post the the link to the original picture. And honestly the original looked the way better then mine. I guess it is due to the nail size again.
Anyway, i know its a mess and it s wild, but i just totally like it, it looks really cool if not look too close
