Red, white, dots...whats not to like :)

Along with the peter pan collar, I am also in love with scalloped edge hems <3

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

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!

A reminder from the Ministry of Information

apple of my eye

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

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 :)

I came across this dress while looking through the Spring 2012 RTW  line from Libertine and this pattern really stood out

dragging anchor

I've had this mani in mind for quite a while; I originally saw the flags on Pinterest and I've been thinking about them ever since.

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 :)

berries!!

Thought I would do something to balance out all this winter stuff! Sweet little strawberries from Konad plate M55.

mad about plaid!

I have an awesome red plaid coat and I've wanted to do a mani like this for awhile. This is the first hand painted design I've done in a month and I think I'm a little rusty!

Oops!

I wasn't able to blog my nails last night so I planned on coming home and putting them up before todays mani...but, I took all of my nail polish off before I got any pics! So I just repainted my thumb and stamped that :)

wild cat!

A fun little leopard mani in red and blue <3

gorgeous gradient

No stamping tonight, I just loved this mani too much to cover it up. I have wanted to try this for awhile and I found it was actually much harder than I thought it would be. I ended up using acrylic paint for the black which was a little easier to blend than the polish.

chevron

A simple design with my favorite color combination - black, white, and red <3

Quadrophenia!!!

"Q" had me stumped for most of the day but I think it came together nicely!
Dare I say, Nailed It?!?!?

"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!

whats the 4077?

"M" is for medic! (think M*A*S*H)
