polka party

and everyone's invited!

blue plate

With some stamps, I'm never sure what it will look like til it's on my nail. After finishing this mani I realized that it totally reminds me of metal diamond plate, so at some point I'm going to do this again only in black and silver.

school spirit

This style/color combo reminds me of school uniforms and rugby shirts <3

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 ;)

showered with love

One of my friends pinned this and I thought I was such a cute idea! It's an embroidery hoop on Etsy and you can check it out here xoxo

bundle monster to the rescue

I've been sick (again!) and I haven't been at my most creative...thank goodness for Bundle Monster and all of their super cute designs!!

valentine a la critter

I have been obsessed with J Crew for many, many, years and one of my favorites is the Critter collection...you know, all those cute embroidered things on pants, polos,  shorts, etc...
Anyway, that is what I think of whenever I do this kind of mani :)

in the buff

Polka dots, an old favorite :)

black birds and blue skies

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

hungry as a hunter

I picked up this incredible hunter green polish tonight from Sinful Colors called Last Chance. I'm not sure if this was the right color to put with it but it will do for now :) It is such a beautiful color that I considered just leaving my nails polished, but I caved and had to add a little flare ;)

hello cutie

A cute little kitty design based on these pillows :)

i heart miu miu

This is another mani inspired by Miu Miu; an adorable heart print skirt from the 2011 resort collection.

dem bones

In the past 2 days, between the chiropractor and the dentist, I've seen pretty much every bone from the top of my head to the bottom of my spine. I know it will all pay off, but right now everything kinda hurts.

adorbs!

Saw this dress today and I love everything about it (and the accessories too!). When I was younger I went through a phase where I was obsessed with cherry print - I guess a little of that is left over :)

pop art roses

Another flower mani today :) This is from one of my Red Angel plates - really happy with these so far.

inspired by...

Nanette Lepore! I'm not sure exactly how well this translates to nail art but I am in love with this dress! This is from her spring 2012 line and its pretty much the sweetest thing I've ever seen :)

and here's the dress:

holly golightly

This color from OPI is one of my all time favorites. Its called For Audrey and it is the most wonderful Tiffany & Co. shade of blue <3

Happy Thanksgiving from Cutesville!

Sorry, no turkey nails or acorn squash designs here; I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I did want something a little fancy though and I really like how this turned out.

wild cat!

A fun little leopard mani in red and blue <3

Moroccan blue

I got another 24 image plates in the mail today! I think I'll have to adjust my challenge to 30 days of stamping or I'll be doing this for months! I've never heard of this company and it was only $14.99 for the set so I was a little unsure of what the quality might be like, but the are actually pretty decent. Here is a link to them on Amazon:
