Faux water marble

I was perusing a CVS the other day and came across a display for Pop-arazzi nail polish. I've eyeballed their polishes every time I've been in CVS but I never grabbed any up. But this time, I decided to grab a couple. 

One of these is a gorgeous rose gold color and I had decided that I wanted to water marble with it. But it wouldn't work. So I thought I would fake a water marble with some drag marbling.

Stamping over Duochrome

It's been unseasonably warm for February here in Michigan over the last few days. People are loving it but I miss the snow. I love winter and I don't want it to be over. Spring is nice, too, but it doesn't hold a candle to winter. 

None of this has anything to do with today's nail art; just some thoughts. :)

Conversation Hearts Nails

Happy Valentine's Day! I'm a sappy romantic so I love the holiday. I love celebrating love; not just romantic love. I bought a gift for my bestie, too, because I love her to bits. 

For my Valentine's Day nails, I thought I'd recreate the most iconic V-Day candy. Conversation hearts! I can't be the only person who thinks that they're disgusting, though, right?

Teal & Gold Polka Dots

I have a strange love for office supplies. I always have. Post Its have a special place in my heart. I adore pens and markers. Binders, folders, you name it! 

Sometimes my adoration for patterns and colors collides with my love of stationery. I got a clipboard to use for work and it's SO PRETTY. It's teal with gold polka dots and a pink elastic strap. It's one of my favorite things. Today, while using it, I thought to myself, "This would be cute on my nails."

31DC2016 Day 9 - Rainbow Nails

For today's prompt, my initial instinct was to do a water marble. But, since water marble is an actual prompt in the challenge, I decided against it. Then, I thought about doing something with polka dots, but that's a prompt too. After a few more ideas that I rejected I finally came up with something.

31DC2016 Day 6 - Violet Nails

I love purple. I always forget how much I actually like it until I wear it again. Every shade is so pretty. I love color in general though, so I get this excited about just about all of them. 

Anyway, it's violet day so I just grabbed a couple of polishes and slapped them on. Nothing special except some pretty colors and sparkle.

Neon Gradient

Boy, oh, boy! It's hot! It's in the 90s here in Michigan and it's just so darn humid! I guess the heat wouldn't be SO bad if it wasn't for the humidity. I work at 5am and when I walked outside this morning (at 4:45) it was well over 70 degrees and steamy. Like, almost sauna steamy! Ugh! 

I, personally, HATE summer weather. I don't like heat, I don't like being uncomfortable, and I don't like sweating because of the heat. 

Summer does, however, bring out my love of neons. I'm all about bright eye shadow and bright nails! I got an urge to throw on a neon gradient mani so that's just what I did.

Glittery Water Marble

It's been no secret that I am head-over-heels in love with OPI ColorPaints. I use them constantly; they are my favorite for gradients and absolutely the best to marble with. I really hope that OPI releases more colors in this range. I'd snatch them up in a heartbeat.

I've really been digging water marbles lately so I thought I'd do some over a good glitter base.

Jack-o-lantern Cuties

One of my all-time favorite nail art designs that I've posted was my Halloween Ghosts design from last year. It was just adorable and I enjoyed wearing it so much. Today, I seriously considered recreating that design but chose, instead, to do something similar but with Jack-o-lanterns!

31DC2015 Day 17 - Glitter

I was super excited for today's prompt for two reasons. Number one, I LOVE GLITTER! Everyone knows that. Number two, I just got my hands on the OPI Color Paints collection and I wanted to play with it!

Just a Quickie: Glittery Neon Gradients

Why are neons so great? Super bright colors in normal light, outrageously bright colors in daylight, and fun glowy colors in black light!

Colors: Funky Fingers Highlighter, Like Clockwork, Atomic Poppy, and Aloha!

Glitters: China Glaze Fairy Dust and Sally Hansen Open Mica Night

Nude/Neon Gradient and Glitter

Lately, I've been gravitating toward neon polishes a lot. A LOT. When I found myself reaching for my neon stash once again, I gave pause. I almost talked myself out of using them but at the last minute decided on a compromise...with myself... I paired a neon color with a nude and a glitter for a mani that I ended up loving so much that I never wanted to stop wearing it!

Born Pretty Review

Time for another Born Pretty Store product review! Wahoo! :) This time around, I'm reviewing some fun nail vinyls!

Neon Gradient & Spots

Have you ever gone to the store for one thing and ended up getting far more than you planned? That happened to me today. I stopped by my local Ulta for something and they didn't have it. I ended up leaving with four new nail polishes, instead. Afterwards, I thought, "Well, I'm right by these other great stores; I may as well pop in for a bit." I did and bought stuff at both of the stores I stopped at. So, basically, instead of spending the $20 I planned to, I spent quite a bit more and didn't even get what I needed. 

So, anyway... I used two of my newly acquired polishes today and did some bright summery stuff!

Born Pretty Review

It's review time! Woo hoo! Boy, do I have some pretties to share with you today!

Just a Quickie: Neon Marble

This is a cling wrap marble design I actually did a couple of weeks or so ago and, apparently, I never got around to posting it. 

Base color: Nina Ultra Pro Pearly Brights

Marbled color: Funky Fingers Let the Beat Drop

Glittery Funky French

Don't you love it when you see a nail polish and you're instantly inspired by it? I opened my Funky Fingers drawer the other day and that's exactly what happened. I saw Mermaid Lagoon and KNEW I had to use it and I knew just what I wanted to do.

Late New Year's Nails

I don't know how exactly I forgot to post these nails, but I did them on New Year's Eve. Obviously, I meant to get them up before the first but that didn't happen. Well, I figured that it wouldn't hurt to share them anyway.

I did two designs because I wasn't happy with the first one. Well, looking back at the photos, I love them both now, so I'm sharing both designs with you!

Sparkle and Splatters

Sometimes, I don't know quite what I want to do with my nails. Sometimes, I have no clue whatsoever. When this happens, I like to slowly go through my stash and see if any colors jump out at me. Every once in a while, a single color will inspire an entire design, right off the bat! That was the case with this design.

When I was looking through my polishes, I came across one that I hadn't used yet! And I bought it months ago! Funky Fingers Hip City Jack was just sitting at the back of a drawer in all of its frosty, sparkly glory.
