Chevron Nails Did

Well I set out to do a military kind of theme and then somewhere in the design things started to go wrong. And then I kinda just went with it. It actually looked much better than it managed to photograph...

Maybe I have to get some khaki polishes for actual military inspiration! lol.

I used Nubar Forest with a layer of Nubar Wildlife as the base, then used painters tape to block out some triangles and then used China Glaze 2030 to fill it in. Lastly to cover the edges I used a black nail art pen swiper.

Meh...its okay.

Spring has Sprung Nails Did

Did you miss me? Cause I missed all of you!! Its been hard to find time to polish nails since Kai arrived, but we pretty much have nap times down so between about 2 of them I can try to get something done :).

Its finally starting to feel like spring and its absolutely beautiful out so I couldn't help but do something a bit light and fun! For the green background I used China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint and the pink is Color Club Pardon my French. Then I used nail art pens in white, pink and dark green for the designs. The darker pink I used for shading in the flowers is Finger Paints Up & Coming Artist. Hope everyone is getting a taste of good weather!!!

Man vs Food Nails Did

 I LOVE the show Man Vs Food. I think its because I can just live vicariously through the host while he eats all of the delicious things that I could never think to put into my body! If you haven't seen the show its on the Travel Network and basically this guy goes around the US sampling really outrageous food and then every episode ends in a food challenge.

He's done things like try to eat a 12 patty hamburger, eat 5 extremely hot chicken wings, 180 oysters and so on. He did eat the most delicious looking hamburger ever though - the grilled cheese burger. And yea, this is the replica that I made, and ate, not gonna lie. IT WAS AMAZING.

So I did the show logo on my nails. For the base I used Nubar NV2 then brushed "x"'s with OPI's Curry Up Don't Be Late, My Big Break, and a purple nail art pen. For the (very badly done at least in the head) wrestler man, I used for his skin a mix of China Glaze White on White, Lemon Fizz and Colour Club Pardon My French. The "vs" is China Glaze Solar Power outlined with a black nail art pen. And lastly the burger bun is a mix of China Glaze Solar Power and Coconut Kiss with nail art pens for the toppings and Rimmel Torrid for the patties.

Yea I'm hungry again...

Matrix Jellyfish Nails Did

So there is just something about this desktop that I love. I have a bad habit of constantly changing my background on my work laptop from my standard boring company one and this is the latest I'm toting (click to enlarge). It reminds me of the sea and the matrix all in one. So I decided to put it on my nails!

For the base I used China Glaze Sexy in the City. Then for the dark blue mountain in the background I used Sexy in the City mixed with some Orly Royal Navy. The darker mountain is China Glaze Liquid Leather. For the jellyfish I used a dab of Color Club Take Me to Your Chateau with a white nail art pen. The red dot is also a nail art pen. I think its cute and fits well with the pool party my work is throwing tomorrow.

I don't think I'll do very much swimming, but at least my nails are in the mood!

Coming Soon! Nails Did

So, finally I can say why I've been so wishy-washy with posting as well as explain my extreme tiredness. That's right - I'm expecting a little nail polish lover...or New York Giant's future player...we're not quite sure yet.

Anyway the past 3 months have really been kicking my butt, however things are finally looking up! I'm finally not falling asleep at 7pm..mostly. Now its more around 8:30pm lol.

So I did a Stork with a green bundle (we're not finding out the sex till I pop it out!), a diaper, a baby bottle, a pacifier and my due date: Dec. 30!
For the pink background I used Colour Club Pardon My French and for the blue, Colour Club Take Me To Your Chateau.

Everything else is done with nail art pens.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! We have a heat wave here in the city and I pretty much feel like I'm melting!

Orange You Glad Nails Did

OMG I'm so obsessed with citrus lately - especially oranges or anything orange flavor. Like creamsicle Booster Juice. SO GOOD.

Today I made the mistake of getting a strawberry blend instead of the creamsicle - instant drink regret.

Okay I'm fairly distracted because of GLEE at the moment so let me just tell you about the nails. I used China Glaze Lemon Fizz for the base and then used a dark and light orange nail art pens for the colouring. I topped off the inside slices with Color Club Turn The Other Chic glitter.

CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED ON GLEE!?!? Imma go lick an orange popsicle...

Mais Oui Nails Did

Oooh la la! I'm feeling a bit better lately and my goal this week is to get back into the swing of things and posting regularly again :) Today I thought I'd do something a bit France inspired since I just received my prize winnings from Glammed Up - the Color Club Pardon My French Collection! I'm usually not into pastels and *gasp* a whole lot of glitter...but they do serve a purpose :) I started off with a base of  Take Me To Your Chateau which is a pale blue creme and free-handed french tips using a combination of Hot Couture and Si Vous Please. Then I used a black nail art pen to give it a little tuxedo twist and topped my thumb off with a little Eiffel Tower and a rhinestone. Simple but nice I think! I hope you all are enjoying your summer days! Its soooooooooo hot here...but I'd rather this than the snow! :)
