Cherry Bomb

Who doesn't like a lil cherry pie? In all honesty I don't, crazy huh lol. Anyhow I do like cherry patterns, I think they're super cute on anything, whether its a shirt or jewelry, a keychain or a hairbow (Oooo some cherry shoes would be totally awesome, but if yal don't know by now I'm tellin ya, I LOVE shoes!!!!). I just wanted to try my hand at some sweet cherry nails, if only it was cherry-scented polish that would be totally awesome too *sniff sniff* MMmmmm...




As a base I used Orly's 'Cotton Candy', for the cherry I used Kiss Brush-On Nail Art--Red and a dotting tool and for the stem/leaves I used L.A. Colors Art Deco--Black, all topped off with two coats of Seche Vite



I tried to hold my hands a different way but the right one got all weird on me lol, better luck next time



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
