LAST OF CHRISTMAS 2010

I had a blast doing Christmas nails but I think I'm pretty much done for the year. I will be attending a nail workshop in January and one in February. I can't wait to see how I can improve my skills. It has been such a great year and I am so thankful for all of the clients that made it so amazing! I can't wait to see what 2011 brings :)

Another Shredded Mani...

I had tried another Shredded mani using one of Funky Fingers 2010 Holiday glitters, Blitzen. It's sooo sparkly! I just used my regular black as well. It was waaaaaayyyy easier to see the actual shredded part in real life.

ChristmaSnails!

So I sat the other day, pondering what sort of Christmas themed nails I could do that hadn't been done yet, and said out loud 'What kind of Christmas nails should I do?" to which Chris replied, "There's your answer!" Me: "huh?!" Chris: "Christmas Snails!" ...and thus, a nail design was born! :) Hope it makes you chuckle! :)

I used American Apparel Echo Park as a base, with Zoya Shawn and BB Couture Poison Ivy for the greens, with each color mixed with American Apparel Hassid to shade. For the gold, I used China Glaze 2030 from Khrome Collection, for the red, I used ORLY Candy Cane Lane, and for the burgundy, I used American Apparel Port. For the string of lights, I used Zoya Envy, with American Apparel Manila, ORLY Candy Cane Lane, and American Apparel Cameo Blue for the lights. Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

This just might be my new FAVE polish!!!!

I picked this up at Walgreens. It was actually located in the hair care section, WAAAYYYY up on the top shelf, so high up, I had to get help getting it down, lol. I love being short *sigh*. Anyways, it was in a pretty display with a mint green, light purple, bright raspberry and a turq. This was the only one that caught my eye though. It's called Grey Area.

Here it is after I used China Glazes Chords for the Konad design.

here she is before I did the Konad. I am just in love with this color!!

Who doesn't love 14 Karat gold flowers!

Okay, so they aren't real flowers, or real gold, but close enough. I have def been in a Konad/Bundle Monster plate mood lately. This past weekend, I did this mani. I used Sinfuls Black on Black and Claires 14 Karats for the design.

Then with black tips! I think the black tips just complete a mani, well...in my opinion, obviously : P

My Quilted Mani....

Okay, so I didn't want to do another Patchwork Mani, so I did this. A friend over on MUA said I should call it my Quilted Mani, since in my Patchwork, I use 3 colors, and this is 4. I love it, so that's what it's called :P

I used China Glaze Towel Boy Toy, China Glaze Recycle, Sinful Black on Black and OPI Simmer & Shimmer.
