abstract flowers

this design has been all over my instagram and so, i wanted to give a go at it. i REALLY liked this design. it was fun and sparkly and i got the change to use colors i would never regularly use (green, blue, yellow).

random

random designs that dont really fit into a category big enough to have their own posts. 

this polish i got at the dollar store. i really wanted it for the glitter because, well, it's pink!

didn't have much to work with when i did the red with flowers. i was at my inlaws and only had a couple colors and about 1/2 an hour time. 

yellow with pink zebra. i went on vacation to florida to see my family before hubby deployed and i wanted something bright.

dry marble

dry marbling. i wasnt sure what colors i wanted to use. well, i know what colors i wanted to use. my usual go to colors (red, black, white) but figured they wouldn't mix well together and hey, what the hell, its summer so pick something bright for once STEPHANIE! soooooo yellow, green, pink, and white it was.

i used the technique that is all over pinterest. yall know, the one where it is done on the baggie, peeled off, and cut to fit the nail. HOWEVER, it took FOREVER for the polish to dry. i had work in the AM soooooooo being impatient, i ripped the polish off the baggie and ripped some of it but oh well. i still put it on. 

random

this was just a random mani i did because i was bored and had to throw something on for ht week since i was doing my student teaching. nothing fantastic. the yellow is from a line called piggy paint and it STAINED the hell outta my cuticles. :( i shouldve known better than to step outta my comfort zone with polish colors. 

LOL look how short my right hand is compared to my left. oh dear

FLOAM and HUMBLEBEE!!!

OMG i have been waiting forFREAKINever for this polish! literally fooooooooooorever! i was soooooo excited when it came i almost peed myself!

for those of you who dont know, floam got its name because it looks like floam...duh....lol! but it is green and blue matte glitter. im really feeling the matte glitter polish phase lately. there are a TON more that i have sitting in my etsy cart just waiting for funds in my bank account so they can come home to my nail polish tote and make some friends. again, anyways, before i applied the floam, i did use a teal base so the blue glitter didnt show up that well....but i applied 2 coats of floam and seche topcoat.

humblebee is yellow and black matte glitters. again, love the matte. i applied 2 coats of it over a white base and topcoat of matte topcoat. 

as ALWAYS, the glitter polish was a pain to take off. thats the only thing i hate about glitter polish.

tonight, tonight.....

this is what i did tonight...with a straw. i saw this some where on another blog and i didnt really feel like staying up all night to do a nail design. i really want to do a true blood design but i will have to wait until probably wednesday night, thursday or friday.
