Simple Flower Nails

Hi All,
Todays post is for my entry for Lydia's Nails Nail Art Contest. This design was super easy to make and only five different polishes where used. As I was looking through my stash I noticed that I always gravitate towards my Sally Hansen White On. It's not a strange thing to me because white is my favorite color ( it's a color right? or not :/) For my spring inspiration I chose flowers. Every time I go hiking I always look for a place that I know is filled with trees and flowers. I'm not really into flowers, but I do like daisies and looking at them isn't so bad. Last week I saw OZ the Great and Powerful and these flowers reminded me of some I saw. When people are staring at James Franko, Im starring at the scenery.

As my base I used Sally Hansen White on . For the flower I used Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow and China Glaze Passion for Petals. The stems are made with Zoya Shawn and Revlon Sassy. I like my little bud on my pointer, its my favorite.

I don't know about you but I am counting down the days till spring!

Enjoy!

Let It Snow Challenge Longing for Summer

Hi guys

Today was a very nice day in California, or so I heard, I spent countless hours doing school stuff and having my brain blow up multiple time. Any way this weeks theme is longing for summer, and yes I am! I cant wait for hikes and the beach.. woohoo!

I used Tart-y for the Party along as my base along with four other shades from the China Glaze Avant Garden Collection. I don't care to much for purple but pastel purple is slowly starting to grow on me.

Flowers where made using a dotting tool and the following colors

Life is rosy: pink

Fancy Pants: dark purple/blue

Fade into hue: periwinkle creme

Passion for Petals:red pink

Hope you enjoy this lovely change in weather and time!

Stripes with China Glaze Avant Garden Polish

Hi guys
Here is my second nail using my new polishes from China Glaze Avant Garden Collection. This design is very different from my first post. In fact this design is very different from anything I've done before. I have to admit that when it comes to nail designs.. here it goes... I'm very girly, I love hearts and flowers and sparkle and all those yummy girly things. Even though its different I still like it.

For this look I used China Glaze Fancy Pants as my base, it a blue/purple with slight pink shimmer. For the bold lines I used Tart-y for the Party a nice pastel lilac. For my accent finger I used the previous colors along with Life is Rosy, Passion for petals, and Fade into Hue.

I used my trusty nail tape for this. I do have to admit my tape skills are improving since the first time I took the tape dive.

As my top coat I used Sally Hansen Mega Shine topcoat. It lasted 3 days with out any chips.

So what your favorite color so far? This is only my second nail art mani and I think a pastel will have the spotlight next!

Enjoy!

Life is Rosy China Glaze Avant Garden Nail Art

Hi
Today I have made some simple art using some of the colors from China Glaze Avant Garden Collection. These are some beautiful colors for spring. Lately I have been doing so many winter art , now I am winter wasted... NO MORE COLD, PLEASE BRING ON THE WARMTH!!!!.. Sorry someone had to say it. This is my official first spring mani so I hope you enjoy.

As my base I used Life is Rosy, a nice rosy mauve, perfect for those nice summer dresses we all have hidden in our closets. I used two coats and application was great.

Using an art brush and dotter I painted on some different style of flowers using, fancy pants, a purples/blue color with some pink shimmer, Life is Rosy, and Passion for petals,  a creme between red and a little pink tone.

I thought is would be nice to add topcoat and make it look like a painting.. I love the matte look. Which do you like better?

Thanks for reading. Enjoy
