Here comes summer ...

I am trying all different shades that I normally wouldnt select.  This is 2 distinct shades of Red Tic Tac color on the diagonal.  Then using 2012 crackle paint to accent the angles in orange, dark red , silver and bronze.  Topped with some stripping in electric blue and white under black dotting.   Wow.

Alpine!

Her favorite color is blue- so we mixed 2 distinct shades of blue to make this alternative french style- using Sally Hansen.  Added some white, teal, silver and blue stripping and here is the result- they remind me of mountains and snow- so I am calling them Alpine.
Thanks Donna!


Casino Nails

I love Orly black nail polish- it goes on smooth and self levels with 2 coats and is very shiny without top coat.  Partnered with OPI glitter and Color Club strippers.   These are knock outs!  Thanks Diane!  these are awesome.

Playing with new colors!

Nothing like playing with new nail stuff to see what fun creative designs you can come up with-  I am partial to abstract-  it allows you to mix and match colors you would never think of putting together and then seeing how well they play together in the sand box.   So here are some new tips for fun.

Rajun Cajun!

Something different - is what we strive for-   this lady is up for anything wild-  so we did a combo using Green and Orange brights from the color club collection-   and added some crazed for effect, stripping and dots.
Here they are-

thanks Stacey for your inspiration!


A shattered mood...

I just bought the newer OPI shatter colors in the blue hues... they are awesome-  I used the blue shatter over a bright purple shade of Tic Tac- and added some black shatter and stripping for highlights...  here they are- I think the color you see is really awesome.

Yin and Yang!

Just the thought of black and white together is elegant- but these were really AWESOME!  The picture just doesnt do them justice.

Thank you Diane for your inspiration!

Tribal!

I loved the "blue us away" nail art- and did another version in different colors.  So here is the Tribal version using Color Club brights and Tic Tac blue-  with black and gold stripping.
