3 of a kind

I have really been enjoying bright summer colors with just a simple black design

a trio of cuties

Still doing mani's - just haven't been able to post daily :( Here are a few from a couple of weeks ago:

black and white a la cheeky

that pretty much sums it up :)

cheeky chains

These plates are awesome. I know the last 3 posts have said the same thing but I am just so impressed with how well the images transfer!!

simply elegant

This is another stamp from my new collection (see previous post for info). I thought it was a snakeskin image until I stamped it - but it turned out to be an incredible lace <3

cracked up

I refuse to do crackle (sorry - just don't like it) but I really love this plate from Bundle Monster, BM-208.

1st MANi in cutesville!

My dear friend Stephen came over tonight and so graciously let me give him a MAN-icure! I have to say - I think its pretty bad ass and totally  manly ;)

my heart beats for you

I met my husband about 10 years ago and we became friends immediately. I had the biggest crush on him but I was so painfully shy that I had no idea how to tell him. Fast forward 7 years and after we both found ourselves single at the same time, I took him out to dinner and confessed that I thought he was the bee's knees! We were married on 09-09-09 and I am still absolutely crazy about him  - as I have been for years <3

polka dots and bows

Simple and cute <3

dress up

This stamp looks so fancy to me, it makes me think of getting all dressed up ;)

a very emo valentine

or should I say anti-valentine....

rosie

A quick Valentinesy mani before work <3
I'm still using acrylic paint for almost everything except stamping - I love the ease and color variety!

1957-D No.1

This mani was inspired by a Clyfford Still painting. Fun fact: A very drunk young lady caused $10,000 worth of damage to another of Still's paintings, 1957-J No.2, after punching it, rubbing her behind on it, and trying to urinate on it. Not cute  lady, not cute at all.

tough love

I haven't had a chance to catch up on here, but to all who have left comments recently - Thank You So Much!! I can't believe some of the super kind things people have said and the awards are fantastic! 

So here is a mani a little less sweet ;)

rhinestone tiger

I'm a little obsessed with the rhinestones right now so there may be a couple more in the next few days ;)

nail buff

I love using acrylic paint! Any color you want, right at your fingertips (pardon the pun).
I added some of my new rhinestones but I think it looks a bit like a pickle...not quite the look I was going for : /

ladies who brunch

I'm having brunch today with an absolutely incredible group of women and I wanted something very ladylike :) What better than diamonds and strings of pearls <3

apple of my eye

In keeping with the color theme from my recent award (*cheeky*) I thought I would do a coordinating mani :)

black birds and blue skies

Another konad, M83, mixed with a little shany, sh25. Simple and sweet <3

fair isle friend

We've gotten a bunch of snow over the past two days and it looks absolutely lovely outside :) I really do enjoy sweater weather...
