pink and paisley

Cheeky plate and a new OPI :)

tip top

This looks like a little topographical map to me <3

nothing but net

My order of jumbo image plates arrived! They are by Cheeky and you can find them here :)
The images are super big and they come out so clear!!

gray gardens

Continuing with the glitter theme....I painted gray roses with acrylic paint over Twinkling Mauve nail polish from Ruby Kisses.

cracked up

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

retro flowers

One of my favorite sites is colourlovers.com. You can design palettes, patterns, colors, and browse thousands of designs other folks have made. The inspiration for this mani came from a pattern I was playing around with :)

wrapped up

Just playing around with color tonight; I'm a little under the weather and I didn't have the energy to do anything super detailed :)

halfsies

Its been a while since I rocked the leopard print - thought I would switch it up a bit ;)

nightmare before christmas

I spent such a long time doing these last night that I was just too tired to stay up and blog them :)

snow leopard!

I love leopard mani's! And considering the amount of snow we got last night, it seems fitting :)

let it snow

I'm not usually one for holiday themed mani's but I do love snowflakes! I'll probably feel different in about a month or so, but right now it looks so beautiful outside <3

red angel plates!

While looking through Spellbinding Nails blog the other day I saw her post on these Red Angel plates.
Some of the images are kind of ridiculous, but 21 plates for $11.99 I couldn't resist!

nail party in cutesville!

Two of my (self proclaimed) "biggest fans" came over today for a nail party! New to the magic of nail stamping, it's fair to say that it was pretty much love at first sight.
Thanks for an awesome afternoon ladies <3

first up is E-flo: classic leopard + bling = dope

next, Rza: 10 different designs like you've never seen before (check out the unicorn with an upside down cowboy hat on the left thumb)

last but not least, cutesville:

cherry blossoms

 We had our first snow fall of the year today and, although I'm sad to see summer and fall fade away, I do love when everything is covered in snow. That is what tonights mani reminds me of :)
I used M66 from Konad.

for the artist formerly known as Prince

Not really, just a simple flower design with gray and purple :)

stars and stripes

I have admired this palm tree mani for some time and decided to incorporate it into tonights design. I am not sure who the original artist is - if you know, leave a commemt :)
I used the star design from image plate BM-05.

rushed!!

I was really short on time but I couldn't stand not changing my nails ;)
This is from BM203

butterflies...I think?

I honestly have no idea if these are butterflies or bows, but either way, I think they're adorable :)

lace and flowers

I had to do a quick mani tonight so I thought I would do a little stamping. I used Konad plate M57 for the flowers and the fishnet - the result is a very sweet lace look :)
