Blue and Green Simple Nail Art

Hi Dolls:) I have some new easy nail art for you today! For this mani I used Zoya Dory, Barry M Greenberry, Sally Hansen White On. For the Silver I did a 2 step process with China Glaze Check Out the Silver Fox as a base and Salon Perfect Twinkle Twinkle sponged over.  I used striping tape for the design on my ring finger; and a sponged gradient and dotting tool for the design on my middle finger!

The only gripe I have about this mani is the drying time... When using striping tape on any mani you have to let the base dry COMPLETELY before putting on the tape or it will rip it up:(

St. Patty's Day Mani!!!!

Hey Dolls!!!! St. Patty's Day is tomorrow, get ready for green beer and kiss me I'm Irish shirts EVERYWHERE!!! I had to put some green on my nails to celebrate, so I grabbed 2 of my favorites from Chirality!!! Katydid, a gorgeous light green holo and Kale, a perfect dark green holo!!!! I added some accents with gold striping tape, and a couple of hand painted shamrocks!!!! 

I ♥ how this turned out!!!! I will say striping tape is a pain in the butt to work with, not to mention if you don't seal the edges securely they will snag and pull up!!! So are you rocking Green on this day of Irish Celebration?!?!? If not you can grab either or both of these colors @ Chirality for $8 per color!!!!

Followed with Color Club's "Beyond the Mistletoe" over the silver for a glitter flash:)  Oh, and make sure to check out the giveaway page!!! I have added a ton this week:P 

At Home...

So I am at home today with my sick little boy and while he naps I figured I'll do a mani that I have been wanting to do but knew that it was gonna take a little time:) so for the Pink here I used Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in "I Pink I Can" and the blue is China Glaze "For Audrey" accented with Gold Striping tape:) all followed with a coat of Gelous and a coat of SV:) Gelous is a top coat that I found at Sally's  that is great for glitters that "eat" top coats and striping tape:) I really like the way this turned out:) Oh and a big Happy Birthday to my Hubby ♥ U babe:)

Striping tape and Dotted fun:)

So I just finished this mani and I am in LOVE♥♥♥!!! I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in "Coral Reef". For the details I used silver striping tape and Essie's "Matte about You" and of course SV. Lets just hope I can keep the striping tape from snagging cause I really wanna keep this for a few days:)

PINK Voltage

I LOVE THIS COLOR!!! Can you tell? It just makes me smile everytime I look down:) This is China Glaze "Pink Voltage" the silver is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Celeb City"!!! The design in the top pic is done with striping tape and the bottom is done with a dotting tool!!! This color is sooo beautiful,  I really wasn't sure about it at the store but after a swatching I was hooked!!! WARNING this is a NEON and is super bright, so not for the faint of heart:) but you ladies can handle it right:)

White stripes

I absolutely loved this mani!!!! I used Sally Hansen Extreme Wear "White On" and teal metallic striping tape found here, followed with a coat of SV. This was a super easy mani; however, not one of the longest lasting ones I have done:)
