My sorry little peachy nubs.

I just am dealing with a serious case of the peelies. Along with some horrid cuticles as well.   Down to nubs again.

Must remember to moisturize!

My mother's day manicure:  ChG Peachy Keen with OPI tMwtGG topcoat.  Sorry for the less than stellar application and chip/tip wear.  Toddlers keep one pretty busy but for a manicure that 4 days old-its not all the bad.

Happy Easter!

Just wanted to share my Easter manicure.

No stamps just some yummy Lippmann's.

DL Naked with DL Glitter in the Air.  I just wish GITA wasn't such a PITA np to apply.  


So I've done GITA over baby blue...love it, over lilac...love it, and now over a nude...love it.

Plan on layering on top of Essies chinchilly next time and see what I get.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Rockin' a green Konadicure...



Steal this look:
ChG Emerald Sparkle.
Accent nails:  m22 and Cheeky D Celtic knot with ChG Passion

After several days of deciding which green to go with, I can't pass up a glittah!

Happy St. Patrick's day everyone, and happy stamping!

Snakeskin

I was lucky enough to swap for a Cheeky D plate.  The plate with the snakeskin and reptile skin stamp.  Hooray!

I was inspired by a pinterest photo for this konadicure.

I applied ChG Rare and Radiant to the nails.  Then sponged ChG Unpredictable to the tips.  This accentuates the duochrome finish.

Stamped with the konad special polish in black...voila!



Couldn't decide which photo to use.  My pinky is in a wierd position in both shots.
I wish I could capture the duochrome goodness.  I need to work on my photo skills.

Happy stamping.

Untried manicures...Magnetics meet OPI the Man with the Golden Gun

Super short but super fun manicure ahead.


To recreate:  2 coats of Nails Inc. Kensington Palace applied magnet to set the design  followed by 1 coat of OPI the man with the golden gun.

I wish the OPI gold fleck was easier to apply...I'm always fishing for the flecks.
