Bridal nails!
Sorrrrryyyy for the lack of updates! I still do some updates on my Facebook page cos it's easier for me to upload pics directly from my Iphone. Anyway! Lots of bridal nails I did recently and more to come.
For people who follow me on Twitter and Facebook, you should know that I've added Gelish (gel polish). I use them both for gel and acrylic nails and now you have 60+ more colours to choose! The pictures below consist of both gel/acrylic nails. Some colours are done using gelish. Prices remain the same, gel overlay starts from $50 and extension starts from $100. ;)
Interlace designs and simple flowers.
Sweet.
A little bit of black lace and purple roses for a garden wedding. ;D
Light pink glitter nails with crystal bows. This is not a set of bridal nails but I thought some brides would love this if they want it simple.
The french style nails with glitz and sweet cream bows.

This is super bling in real life! Everything blue and clear, with a dangling crystal charm and a huge solitaire ring art on the ring finger. Hehe.

Ulta Jaded.....Check her out in the bottle!
Another sneak post from work, lol. I can't do this long. Have you ever seen a polish in a bottle, and instantly fall in love? When I was at Ulta, I saw this, and grabbed it without a 2nd thought. It's Ulta Jaded. Just look at her!!!!
Then you get this magical polish on the nails, and stare at it with curious eyes. Ummm...where are the rest of the colors? It is very pretty, but I might have looked crazy, if others watched me, twist my hand and fingers in all directions, in various lights trying my hardest to see the blue and purple. FAIL. It was also fairly sheer, so I even layered it over Revlon Black with Envy, hey, it was all I had in my purse, lol. I'll show you that one as well soon.
*stomps feet* I want my nails to look like it does in the bottle!!!!

OPI DS Sapphire on the tips :)
Morning :) Here is the mani I did using the OPI DS Sapphire, that I posted about yesterday. I started with a base of Wet n' Wild Black, and a coat of SV
Then using tape, of course, I taped my tips off, and used OPI DS Sapphire
Sorry my post are kind of short, I'm so afraid I'll get into trouble at work, even though I'm doing these on my lunch.

OPI DS Sapphire
Hey guys, I snuck on my work computer again during lunch, and I'm getting this ready for you for the morning, lol. So good morning!! Okay, so do you guys know Rachel, from Rachel Nails? She is so sweet, and has great pictures of her manis. I was fine not owning OPI DS Sapphire, until I saw her post it on MUA. You can see her post on Sapphire, on her blog here. Dang it, thanks to her post, I know own it. I swear I am so weak sometimes, lol. It is pretty sheer, so I layered it over China Glaze White on White, and just loved it. If you 're looking for a non in your face holo, like Gosh Holo is, then this is for you.
I started off with 2 coats of White on White
and then did 2 coats of Saphire.
I wish I could have taken some sun pics, but it's still so pretty indoors.
I then played with it, using it as tips for a mani, and I'll show you that tomorrow :)

Hope This Works. OPI Movin Out
Hey guys, well since my computer isn't working properly, I'm attempting to post from my iPad. I just hope it works, and looks okay on your end. Please let me know. UPDATE - Wow, okay so I snuck onto my blog from my wok computer to check it out, and the pics were all over the place, so I quickly edited it, lol.
This is OPI Movin Out. I first saw this when Sam from the Fashion Polish posted about it. Now she makes everything amazing, and this polish quickly became a must have. Just look at it!!

The Real Dill
I know it's been awhile, and for that I apologize. Time slips away too quickly, and things never seem to get caught up on. However, I'm posting tonight, and I hope you dig it, because as the post title says, it's the 'Real Dill'. ;)
I grew up in a very small town, a town where farming, fishing, and hunting were mainstays of the local lifestyle. One of the crops grown in the area was cucumbers (or, as I've always called them... pickles!), and those cucumbers got made into dill pickles in the very same town. These pickles still remain my favorite pickles ever. I grew up on them, and even love to drink the pickle juice from the jar when the pickles are gone. (Gross I know, but SO delicious!!!!) Anyway, as an homage to the vinegar soaked bites of awesomeness, I did pickle nails! To achieve the pickle bumps, I used nail pearls from Born Pretty, then painted over them, and to get the mottled look of the pickle skin, I sponged several different greens.
I used butter LONDON Dosh as a base for all nails, and over top of the nail pearls on the bumpy nails. On the bumpy nails, I used Dare 2 Wear Rio De Janeiro, Icing True Beauty, and RBL No More War, and MAC Dry Martini to sponge over butter LONDON Dosh. For the pickle inside nails (thumb and ring) I used Dare 2 Wear Rio De Janeiro over the base color, then mixed with American Apparel California Trooper and some Icing True Beauty to make the highlights and shadows of the seeds. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
Mmmmmm, pickles.
