MY BABY..........JUST LIKE MOMMA!!

Today I have kind of a few different things to share with you guys. First up, I know that you all that follow me on social media have seen a TON of pictures of my baby Aubrey, but for those of you that don't this will be your first time getting to meet her.  She takes after me in SOOO many ways, she is bossy and impatient and loves to paint her nails!  She is almost 18 months old and at that stage where we have to watch her every second because she is getting in to something she shouldn't.  Like painting her toe nails while I was taking a nap.  I gotta say though.........she never spilled the bottle and from the looks of it she dunked the brush in there several times to get that much on her foot.  As you can see, she was very proud of herself!  ( I was too a little bit, lol, but don't tell her!)

Next up is a few pics of some misc. mani's I did.  The first set of pics is one I did on my mom and the other two are some I did on me over the holiday weekend.  They chipped or got changed before I could take better pics of them but I loved them both so much I wanted to still share them.  I've added limited details on what I used for these mani's from what I could remember.  Sorry - I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and get my pictures taken right away before I destroy my mani.

 The base color is OPI LE Sally's Beauty 50th Anniversary polish - 50 is the new fabulous.  Stamped in silver using Mo-You London Mother Nature collection plate #02.

The base is a purple gradient stamped in white using Mo-You London Bridal Plate Collection #05 for the rose & #07 for the lace.  LOVE THE LACE PLATE!!!  Then my newest favorite trick to do is to use a OPI sheer tints polish to go over the white stamp to make it match the color of the mani.  This made it look like those plastic lace table cloths, but in a cool way.  I loved this one!

For this I painted my nails black and stamped in white with MO-You London Hipster Plate Collection #05.  Then to add color I did my trick of adding layers of OPI Sheer Tints and I used a few of the Sally Hansen Triple Shine polishes that are like the sheer tints.  Compared the OPI polishes were superior to the Sally Hansen ones though.  The colors were more vibrant and didn't cause dragging/smudge marks when used.

TICKLE MY FANCY JOLENE!!!

My Mom's recent konad design she is sporting. I couldn't remember what name you came up for this one Mom - whoops!

We used Zoya Jolene for the base coat. You should have heard the unison screeches of the song Jolene for the duration of this mani . . . . on second thought, it's best you didn't!!

I used the feather design from one of the Bundle Monster plates, stamped it in two different shades of silver, added a little bling and a black line and called it done man!

A LITTLE SOUTHWESTERN PERSUASION

This mani is one I did on my mom Saturday night. This is such a special mani because I never would have thought in a million years that my mom would suggest a green polish be painted on her nails! I don't think SHE ever thought she would either! SO way to go mom for stepping out of your comfort zone :)

After I got my new plates I told you all my mom had several mani/pedi ideas for me to execute. This was one of her ideas for a pedi, but we both just loved it so much we decided to so the same on her hands.

This looks so cute and I think one of the best mani/pedi's I have ever done. It just turned out perfect.

For the base color we used Sinful Colors - Mint Apple, a dark brown and a gold for the stamps and gold holo glitter dots.

MOM'S MANI

This is a mani I did on my Mom Sunday night. I FINALLY got my Mom to tune into one of the crazy dating shows that VH1 does, so we did nails while watching Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair. LOL! It isn't one of VH1's best since the girls are living in his Mom's house they haven't been getting as wild and ridiculous as they normally do. But I guess it's a good one to break her into with. I think this needs to be a regular Sunday thing now; Frank the Entertainer and a mani!

For her nails we used Nubar - Prize from their recent Prism collection. Since this color is so strong we didn't really think a konad stamp would hold it's own without being a really bold one, so she opted for a few stickers. They are pretty close to the color of polish, but they do stand out a little bit.

SLEIGH BELLS BLING

Isn't this mani F-A-B?? I just loved how this turned out. I did this on my mom's nails last night. We weren't quite for sure what we wanted and ended up by the time it was all over with, with this and about 10 coats of nail polish, lol.

For the base we used two coats of Diamond Cosmetics - Angelic and One coat of Misa Sugar Daddy. That gave us a really nice, semi sheer white shimmery base. Then we added China Glaze - Cleopatra on the tips and made a glitter gradient look. Next I stamped a red poinsettia using Konad special polish in red. Lastly, I added a little gold stud to the middle of each flower. Throw in several layers of top coat through out the process of this mani and we got nearly 10 coats of nail polish.

My mom is currently looking for a dishwasher until the holidays - she doesn't want to ruin this mani by doing the dishes. I told her to invest in some rubber gloves, hehehe!!
