Stripes!


China Glaze Make an Entrance, White stripes using a striper, and silver dots using a random silver and dotting tool.

Make an Entrance in all it's berry pink goodness!



Ombre Nails

I did this ombre nails a couple weeks ago and absolutely loved them. I got SO many compliments on them. This is the only decent picture out of the like 50 I took... so sorry for the blurriness. I am working on my photography skills as I go!

Polish Haul

I have a pretty big haul of all my polishes I've gotten from the past couple of weeks.
They are ALL China Glaze. China Glaze is my favorite brand of nail polish.. mainly because the only store around here is Sally's.. and I don't feel like spending a ton of money for OPI polishes right now at Trade Secret. I am debating on getting 'Kiss Me On My Tulips' though just for the name! haha!

and on with the haul: (From left to right)

Kinetic Candy, Electric Beat, Shower Together, First Mate

Strong Adhesion Base Coat, Peachy Keen, Gothic Lolita

White on White, White Cap, Dance Baby, Naked, Wicked Style, Make an Entrance, Ahoy!

Oofta. I must have been in the mood for Pinks this month!
I am debating on swatching my China Glaze polishes... but not until I can figure out how to capture the true color of a polish! :)

For Audrey.. White Capped!

For this post I was going to do some stamping, but for the life of me could not get stamping to work. ugh! SO frustrating sometimes!

For Audrey alone. I am still trying to figure out how to take pictures to capture a polish's true color, and so far I really stink! Any tips?

China Glaze For Audrey with White Cap over. I love it!

See now this picture is totally wrong. The color looks more like China Glaze Sea Spray whereas White Cap looks only silver. Gahhh!

This picture captures White Cap's true gold tones.

Starting off with a bang!

For my first post EVER it will be one that I am entering into a blog!

Chalkboard Nails is hosting a contest using JUST a dotting tool. Of course I can do that! I tested a couple other designs before I chose this one.. and I will post those at another time.
The picture I submitted. Had some cotton hanging off edges, and didn't notice it when I took the picture :(
Hopefully I don't get judged on that!

For this mani I used: CG strong adhesion base coat, kinetic candy, lemon fizz (my poor bottle!), wicked style, peachy keen, and SH white on

Taken from farther away


Thought I'd post a picture of my left hand. haha I got lazy.
