Trick-or-Treat Candy Confetti

2nd Halloween look for the year! This was inspired by an artist over on Tumblr (and Instagram!)- Victoria of Victoria's Nails. Take a look at her gorgeous original mani and my inspiration here. 

Candy for everyone! Taken in office lighting.

I started off with a dark grey base, added some glitter, then gave all my candy shapes a white base. After that was a lot of dabbing colors on with my spotting tools, then drawing on tiny stripes for the candy wrappers. I added a few silver dots for some extra pizzazz and there you go! Halloween candy all over the place!

Toxic Green with Grey Tips

Today I've got a simple look to share-- neon green and grey, with black accents. 

Cell phone office picture = poor lighting

Have you ever just felt the urge to wear a color? That happens all the time for me and is what inspired this look... I saw neon green and was like "YES! That's the one!" Anywhos... here's some neon green with grey tips and a sparkly black outline (and black heart rhinestones, cuz why the heck not?!).

Neon Laser Beam Manicure! Pew pew!

Hi there! Has anyone else been missing their neons?! I sure have and can't wait for summer to come so I can wear them more often. I decided to brighten things up to break away from the winter gloom with this cute laser beam mani.

Taken in natural/ artificial light combo.

Good ol' striping tape played the largest role here and helped me create these lines. Of course, the neon's not as bright as it should be (darn camera!) but there was quite a contrast in-person. I'm also loving Concrete Catwalk that Sean got me for Christmas. A gorgeous grey, one coat coverage, and super shiny!

New Year's Glitter and Stamping: Featuring China Glaze Concrete Catwalk and Pueen Stamping Plates

Hi there! Long time, huh? I've been super busy at work lately and haven't had time to get around to blogging... but here I am! I'm back and I've got my New Year's nails to show you!


For Christmas my boyfriend gave me the 2013 Pueen stamping plates and my first ever China Glaze nail polish (along with a gorgeous OPI shade)! So I decided to highlight them both in my New Year's look. I stamped this design using plate #5, then added some glitter and mattified half the look. Kinda reminds me of fireworks or something!

Flip/Flop February: Day 23

Hello! Today for FFF we had lightning versus bows! I went with lightning and eh. I had an idea for this look that didn't turn out well in execution. But here it is anyways!



I started off with a black base with silver glass specks, then taped my bolts off and did a coat of silver magnetic polish, then finished with silver glitter. The variance looks a bit cool, but I think it's too monotone.

Colors Used:
Sinful Colors Secret Admirer
Layla Magneffect Silver Galaxy
Color Club Fine Silver

Flip/Flop February: Day 22

First and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! YAY! 

With that out of the way... today's choices for FFF were between mustache and plaid. I just cannot get behind the mustache trend that's popped up... so plaid it was!



Just a basic grey-scale color selection with a pop! of neon pink thrown into the mix.

Colors Used:
Funky Fingers Pop Artist
Petites Twilight

Flip/Flop February: Day 2

Alright! Time for Day 2 of Flip/Flop February! Today's options were stained glass or an accent nail. I took a look other stained glass manis on the web and I decided they were not my thing... therefore, today I selected to do an accent nail!



This is a simple design I did way back in the summer (see the green grass?!) with a sparkly silver accent nail. I really like this look and think I'll try this again soon with another glitter combo. 

Colors Used Include:
Petites Twilight
Glitter from eBay
