sea of love

Two of my favorites rolled into one! 

don't give up the ship!

I really like these new plates from Shany, I can only find one set of them online which is a bit disappointing because they actually work better than some of my more expensive plates.
I used the anchor from plate SH09 and the criss-cross from plate SH23.

"N" is for nautical!

Probably one of my favorites! This is the first time I've done a whole nautical mani totally freehand and I love how it turned out!

all aboard!

We were back out on the water today, this time on a tour of shipwrecks in a glass bottom boat! After that we went to a beach we had seen on both tours and spent the rest of the day pretty much just laying around in the sand :) Another absolutely fantastic day in the U.P.

We sail at break of day

I love this anchor stamp and I never get tired of using it! I did find some other styles on a site called http://www.chez-delaney.com and I plan on ordering a bunch of new plates from them <3

last weeks nails

So last week was the Ann Arbor Art Fair and I worked ridiculously long hours in unbelievable heat. I didn't have time to blog all of my nails, but I did manage to keep them cute throughout the whole ordeal! I can't remember all of the different polishes I used but I don't really own anything you can't but at the drug store. There were one or two franken-colors when I couldn't find the right shade but most are pretty standard.

Hopefully I'll get back on track tonight (if this storm doesn't knock out the power!)
