for audrey

I really love this color from OPI. Its called For Audrey and it is such a perfect Tiffany blue. I really wanted to do bows again, but I'm going to try and limit it to only once a week :)

• base coat - For Audrey - OPI
• image plate - M71 with Konad white stamping polish

a little bit of everything!

I found a picture of this design on a blog called We <3 it and I'm not gonna lie, I pretty much copied it exactly. I'm not sure who the original artist is but her nails are gorgeous! So this is my attempt :)

giraffes!

I saw a picture of a boy and girl giraffe greeting card and I thought I would take a whack at it :)
here is the card:

and here are the nails:

in honor of the past two nights

Last night and tonight we have had the craziest thunderstorms! Its a nice break from the 100 degree heat but seriously - the novelty has worn off.

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.
day 1.

day 3.

day 4.

day 5.

and today's nails.

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

Buzzy Bee :)

I love this and I think it might stay around for a couple of days! The yellow I used needed 3 coats which was a bummer but the color is great.

• base coat - Sally Hansen Insta-Dri -Lightning
• design - Kiss Nail Art Paint in Black and White

Arrrrrrr!

After the Monokuro Boo nails I wanted to do something a little less time consuming :) The Konad stamping is getting much easier and I seem to be making much less of a mess now.

Its just a simple little argyle design :)

• base coat - NYC In a Minute - Prospect Park Pink
• image plate - M60 with Konad Stamping Polish in Black

monokuro boo!

I found an adorable print the other day with pigs and pears and I was showing my friend at work, Amber. Pretty much, if its cool, Amber already knows about it. So she tells me these little pigs are characters from San-X called Monokuro Boo. I started looking through pictures and I fell in love with this one:

so here are the nails!

i heart summer dresses

I love this dress so much I bought it twice! (There is a pale pink version too)

I tried a few different color combinations but ended up with hot pink for the base - China Glaze nail polish is really pretty incredible. All of the shades I've tried so far have been gorgeous.

• base coat - China Glaze - 108 degrees
• image plate - M79 with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Blue-away
• tips - OPI Suede - Russian Navy
