PURPLE AND GLITTER STRIPES

Wow....been a busy week for me.  First I have nail stuff and then I have some puppy pics to share :)

First up is a simple design I did.  I used J brand nail polish in Vivid Purple-----ya'll should know by know purples almost never photograph the correct color and this was no exception.  It's more of a bright, neon purple than the shade shown in the pics.  For the glitter I used Finger Paints - Stargazing Lilac.  I just used regular old tape that I cut into little strips to do the stripes.

Next, I wanted to share some pics of our new baby.  We picked her out when she was only about 3 weeks old - so it's been an eternity waiting for her to get old enough for her to come home.  No name yet, still working on it.  She is a red boston terrier.  I just got her yesterday but she is already fitting in nice at home with everyone.

PINK LEMONADE

Hello!  First off, sorry for no posts this week so far, my little girl has been sick and that has left literally no time for nail stuff.  She got hand, foot, mouth disease and we have been dealing with that all weekend and up through yesterday.  It's been painful for her, but it's finally run it's course and she is well on her way to feeling like her old self again.

When I painted my base colors I was getting a pink lemonade vibe with this.  I really liked it.  Once I added the stamp though I was getting a cheap leopard print costume vibe, lol.  It's still cute and summery, and I love pink and yellow together.  Yellow isn't one of the colors I use very much, but this shade looked pretty good with my skin tone.  I did use a white base under neath both of these colors in hopes of really getting them to POP!

I used OPI - Hotter Than You Pink from the new summer neons collection.  The yellow is Loreal - Bananarama Love.  Then I used J brand nail polish in Snow Red.  Lastly, I stamped a leopard print design (my go to black Kleancolor #05 black) using Mo-You London Time Traveller 80's Collection plate # 04.

PURPLE SPOTTED FEATHERS

Hello :)  Today I have a purple spotted mani with a feather design stamped on.  I started out with a base coat of Kleancolors #16 Neon Purple.  Then I added 2-3 coats of J brand nail polish #JNP108 Purple Spot.  Some nails I added the third coat to if I thought it needed more spots.  Next I stamped a long feather design across 4 of my nails and on the accent finger I stamped a southwest zig zag pattern.  I used Konad special polish in white and I thought it was too stark in comparison to the purple so I topped it off with OPI Sheer Tints Don't Violet Me Down.  It added the perfect accent to let my stamp stand out without over powering the whole mani.  This really got me inspired and I have a few ideas I want to try out this weekend using my sheer tints.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
