Lovely in Pink

The color pink has a way of making a ladies hands look so feminine.  These are gel nails done with a powder/liquid ratio.  A little harder to work with than acrylic but cures nicely and self levels perfectly.
 Featuring OPI's  "Flashbulb Fuchia" some nail art in blue and black and white dots for effect.

Thanks Mom for your model hands and lovely fingers.



And the stars do twinkle in french...

These are really lovely with just the right amount of sparkle-  A twist in French with Silver and Purple layered across the smile line- a little nail art for effect and star shaped rhinestones for fun.
Featuring OPI's "Standing room only silver" and  "Royal" from the OPI DS collection.

Thanks Nicole for the inspiration and the chance to work with french designs again.

Marbled in Blue

I am so taken by these two Sally Hansen colors- "Pacific Blue" and "Blue me away"-

we used these as the base for creating this marbled design-  they sure make a difference- although I suggest Orly colors are used in your marbeling- they spread easier and create lovely patterns.

Thanks Allie!   These are awesome!


Lots N Dots

This is a borrowed idea that we redefined into  a mix of  Color Clubs- "the lime starts here" and "disco dress"    added black dots and an overlay of white dots for more effect- along with "tin foil" striping.

Thanks Stacey!

Orange U There?

Knock!  Knock!   Im not too sure why I chose Orange- I guess its just a color I dont normally reach for- so I was trying to incorporate something new- so here are Orly- "Brite Orange mini" and OPI's 'thats hot pink"- mixed to create a HOT contrast and accented with 2012 crackles.

Long Tall Grass

these are truly interesting...  I was trying to do a zebra print but they came out looking like tall grass instead.  Thank you for your faith Allie!

Shutters

Just playing with some pink shades and did this version of  "Shutters"   I really like the silver and black  striping effect.
