Chevron Stripes

Sometimes, you just come across a color combination that you love. For today's design, I wanted a nice fall to winter transition color scheme and I think I nailed it. I always gravitate towards reds and oranges when I think of fall. I forced myself to stick with cooler colors and I love the end result!

Valentine's Day Chevrons

We are less than a week away from Valentine's Day! I know some people hate the holiday or think that it's stupid. I love it, and I love festive nail art. Valentine's Day is another excuse for me to do some fun holiday designs! Today's design was inspired by my newest Julep glitter, Hartleigh.

31dc2014 Day 7 - Black and White

Again, I was supposed to post this design yesterday. This time, I have and even better excuse than last time. Hubby surprised me with tickets to a Tigers game! So, we got to spend the afternoon in Detroit with another couple. It was so much fun, and the Tigers won! Woo hoo! Seriously, I love baseball sooooo much!

So, yesterday's prompt was black and white. The design I ended up with was not at all what I planned but I LOVE IT!!!

I Love Holo

I've been a little bit indecisive about what to do with my nails lately. I have a lot of ideas but, most of the time, I get started on my nails too late and those ideas would take too much time. I really should get myself in the habit of doing my nails earlier in the day. 

Anyhow, all I knew when I started was that I wanted to do something with one of my Nfu-Oh holographic polishes. So, that's where I started.

Sweater Vests?

I got some studs from The Born Pretty Store and I've been a little obsessed with them ever since. Now, this design was intended to go in a completely different direction. I started, and then realized that I didn't have time to do what I wanted. I had already done the chevron half moons, so I threw on some studs to make it look like I meant to make this manicure. ;)

The base color is Sally Hansen Slick Slate. I taped off the chevrons and used Sally Hansen White On. After topcoating, I added green rhinestone studs and more topcoat. 

It wasn't until the next day that I realized that they look like tiny little sweater vests! I love them!

I opened the drawer with my Butter London polishes in it and was struck with instant inspiration. There sat The Full Monty and Trout Pout and I loved the way they looked next to each other. I knew instantly what I was doing with them, too.

 

The base is Wet n Wild Private Viewing. I free-handed the chevron tip in The Full Monty first and then Trout Pout over that. They're a little messy (it was late and I was hurrying) and you'll have to forgive how absurdly off-center the chevron is on my pinky. :/ Other than that, I LOVE this!!!
