ahoy!

i usually wait until summer to do anchors but i got the snazzy red, white, and blue glitter and had to try it out. (ive gotten patriotic since hubby deployed.) and i was wearing a striped anchor shirt to work the next day....

i forgot to take a picture right after i did them and like how my nail polish on my pointer is yellow. yeeaaahh.....i need to quit smoking :/

stripes

nothing worth writing home about. 

this was a kit that i got at sephora. im dangerously addicted to that store. but the kit came with the flowers, top coat, and a blueish polish. it came with different flowers....blue ones, red ones, and purple ones. the kit looked cooler that it actually was. was a pain in the but to get the flowers to stay under the polish. in my opinion, it is better suited for acrylic, which i refuse to put on my nails. 

vday designs

big hearts. quickie

lock and key

 love letters. one hand had nail tattoos under the letters, the other didnt. 

candy heard stickers. 

foil and lalaloopsy

so i got this foil from a kit at walmart. one kit was black polish with silver foil and the other was blue with gold foil. it was only a couple bucks so i bought them both to try them out. my review? ehhhh....

lalaloopsy. i love the colors of this character. red. pink. black. (like mostly everything in my closet.) three of my favorite colors!

september....!!!!

it's the start of my halloween season! YAY! sooooooo kick off with the nail designs! 

flowers and polka dots!

another real quickie that i did. i didnt have everything needed to make it look like the inspiration pic (flower tattoos, studs, weirdly shaped nails) so i used what I had. 

^^ see, told ya i cut them ^^

took it off and yes, my cuticles are STILL yellow

and im on the hunt for a design for this weekend. we are having a big bday bash for my stepson, along with a memorial day picnic. im sure i will find something to go with my new outfit

fox racing and beetlejuice

i have to start by saying that i havent been update much because somehow, my google password was changed. someone hacked my account and changed my password. i have a pretty good idea of who it was but after a couple setting changes (that the hacker didnt get to) my password is no longer able to be changed w/o me getting a text first. and like on facebook, anytime a creeper tries to log on from an unknown location, i also get a text. NOW ANYWAYS....

i can't remember where i saw beetlejuice nails at originally but i had a picture of them saved to my computer....but i tried to copy them and it didn't turn out very well. i didnt have the right color green for his hair (guess i need to head to the craft store and get more paint colors!) so instead of looking like beetlejuice, he looks like the joker from batman. LOL. well at least i tried! but of course, as always, started with a blank (white) canvas. i sponged my pointer and pinky and painted on a bat and beetles. inspiration pics below. 

INSPIRATION BELOW!

after i wore beetlejuice for a day, he started chipping (i'm outta seche and need a sally's run!!!!!) so i got annoyed and took it off. i found a fox racing nail design on my pinterest feed and wanted to try it. although i'm not really into the fox racing scene, i still wanted to try it. i'm not a poser like everyone else around where i live. 

i used the ziploc bag technique. ya know, then one where you put randomly placed dots on your nails and the smoosh them all together with the ziploc bag? yea, i was trying something new. got a buncha other techniques that i want to try out as well. but the end result from the baggie is kind of like a pink and gray cammo-ish thing. 

inspiration came from this lovely lady's blog

my thumb isnt anything special. i am out of nail glue so i didnt want to put rhinestones on. instead i just threw on some pink penguin glitter (seen here) and called it a night.
