Hi Everyone! So exciting news again today--I hit another 10k steps! Woot! Yes I know not everyone is excited about the news but I sure am. I honestly did not have it in me yesterday and felt like I really overdid it. I did manage to hit almost 7k yesterday so today I just focused and got er done. I did have to take some Advil which I try to avoid--I actually try not to take any meds if I can help it but today I needed the big guns. I feel pretty good too not too sore or worn out
I feel so good I was able to come home and finish my manicure! I painted them last night and stamped today. At first I thought I would have to freehand this design but at the last minute I found the exact scene I needed on one of my Marianne XXL plates EUREKA! I love it when I don't have to freehand.
My base is all pixie dusts but I topcoated them. Hauled out some of my Zoya and Julie G's
When trying to think outside the box for Rainbow week I did some googling for different rainbow variations and I came across a picture I just loved that's how this mani came to light
I'm happy to say I did a pretty good job recreating it! Here's the picture I found
I was totally going to try to freehand this but let's be honest we all know my freehand skills are not good. Thankfully I found this cute bird scene on the Marianne's XXL 4 plate so I used that instead! WHEW CRISIS AVERTED!
Here's a picture of my mani with the picture. I do love how this one turned out
It's been a pretty stellar week for rainbow mani's. Did you see Shelly's matte watermarble?! OMG it is really cool. You have to love to hate Shelly sometimes for her awesome marble skills
Hi Everyone long time no see! Yep you are not seeing double it's just me posting twice in one day. Honestly I'm not a fan of blogs doing this but I hate being behind. If you know me you know that I really really really really love reverse images on stamping plates. I just love the look and I was able to pour through my plates to find something I really loved
This is another neon gradient for me this week using China Glaze Electric Nights from last year because I was too lazy to get up and go through polish and they were sitting out
I stamped with FUN and Messy Mansion plates
I adore how my thumb turned out! I think it's gorgeous
I wasn't sure if I should matte it so I asked my friend Ashley from Ashley Is PolishAddicted and naturally she said yes. She ALWAYS says yes
But seriously folks that girl knows what she's talking about! This looks great matte!
I found a really cute pic online the other day and I'm attempting to recreate it for tomorrow's mani--wish me luck!
Hi Everyone! I'm behind this week. I didn't get home until after 8 pm last night AND I had my first milestone walking day yesterday and I reached 10,000 steps. It just about killed me and that is no lie. I came home and literally crawled into bed. I had my day 2 done but there was no way it was getting posted so there is going to be double duty going on with posts LOL
I got these plastic rhinestone like things ages and ages ago and thought about doing a full manicure with them but after doing one finger I said NOPE not happening. So I went with a rainbow in the dark theme when I paired my accent nail with L A Girl 3D Effects in Black Illusion
It was another hot one today at 87 so I had some nice full on sun to get pics
I walked in the warehouse today since it was so hot and got a few compliments on my rainbow.
Here's the thing that sort of cracks me up I always say I can't see shizz in my glasses and if you look hard enough you can see some fuchsia in with my red LOL
I think no matter what everyone just seems to like and appreciate rainbows
Hi Everyone Happy Monday! This weekend it was 92 degrees so we are officially in Summer so that means--neon. I'm not a huge neon fan and I say all the time I'm not a huge neon fan yet I find myself doing some neon nail art LOL. This did turn out pretty cool though so I guess I should try to embrace the neon a bit more often. I hauled out last years China Glaze neons--the Electric Night's set and did a gradient and then stamped with FUN19. FUN19 has a bunch of skull images on there and I was >< close to doing skulls but decided on these triangles at the last minute
I definitely took sun shots of this mani but for some reason all of them looked washed out so I went with shade shots
To be honest it always seems like neon shows up better in the shade which sort of defeats the purpose LOL
This is pretty cool though don't you think? I absolutely love all my FUN plates
Of course I couldn't leave well enough alone and I did try matting it as well
Turns out I'm not as much of a fan of the matte as I am the shiny
I'm seen some pretty cool stuff from everyone today. Some of us went traditional rainbow colors and some of us non traditional. I haven't seen my girl crush Serene's mani yet but so far my fave has been from Tammy. Lots of detail in hers! Gurl is going strong after all these years we've both been stamping!
