Stars Galore

I got these awesome star rhinestones at this nail supply store that I go to (probably too often lol) and I've been want to use them forEVER...ok maybe not that long, but for a minute, but I didn't know how I wanted to incorporate them without it being for 4th of July nails, so I just painted and glued hee hee. Right before I wrote this post another idea came to mind, so more stars to come!

P.S. super pumped about Breaking Dawn release! whoot whoot, anyone gonna brave the midnight showing ?? I don't know if I can do it...maybe...TEAM EDWARD!

For the base of the thumb and pinky I used Orly's "Liquid Vinyl". For the base of the index and ring finger I used a base of Sally Hansen SALON's "All the White Stuff", covered with a coat of Verity's "Hot Young Green". Those four  fingers have the tips coated with Santee's "Angel Pink Glitter". The middle finger's base coat is OPI's "DS Radiance", with a tip done in Orly's "Liquid Vinyl". All tips were outlined with star-shaped rhinestones and topped with a coat of Seche Vite.

K's Flower Power

My sister's goddaughter wanted me to do her nails, I took one look and she has these gorgeous long nail beds so how could I say no, right. I lucked out because all she wanted was some flowers (although I wouldn't have mind doing anything else). Kierra was super cooperative and even let me have fun with dots lol, and I added some rhinestones to make em sparkle--everyone enjoys a lil sparkle (I know I do). Anyways she picked this beautiful vibrant blue and another blue sparkle to top the base. I don't think you can see it's brightness in the pictures. Flower Power!

I used Nina Ultra Pro's 'Blu Blaze' as a base, topped with a coat of Finger Paints 'Laugh My Art Off'. I used Sally Hansen SALON's 'All the White Stuff' and a dotting tool to make the flowers, for the leaves I used Kiss Nail Art Paint--Beach Green. For the decorative dots I used the Nail Art Pen by Nubar 'Basic White' fine point pen, and under the white dots I used Kiss Nail Art Paint--Rock Star, all topped off with two coats of Seche Vite.

Blossomed with Cherries

I was racking my brain on what type of Easter design I wanted to do and all I was seeing was either bunnies, baby chicks, or eggs...oh and a basket too. So I went with something that has nothing to do with Easter, cherry blossoms....perhaps I can say spring nails instead lol. These are my first flowers but they won't be the last, thats for sure. Doing flowers provide an endless opportunity to mix colors and really get creative, which is the best part of doing nail designs. Oooo and I even added a few rhinestones for some pizazz.....Whooohooo!!!!

As a base I used Orly's 'Dazzle', for the branches I used L.A. Color Art Deco--Black, for the base of the flower I used Sally Hansen SALON's 'All the White Stuff', over that I used Orly's 'It's Not Me, It's You', for the very center of the flower I used Finger Paints' 'Art Nouveau Glow', and on some nails I used a few rhinestones, all topped off with 2 coats of Seche Vite
