Swing Baby!!

Hey Loves! I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving! Check out one of my favorites...the leopard print mani.  I can't get enough of this pattern. 

China Glaze Swing Baby a sparkly bronzy gold. It kind of reminds me of M.A.C's Reflects in Antique Gold. I used Orly Matte Vinyl for the print sealed with a coat of Seche Vite. Purrrrfect! ;)

The camera doesn't do this polish any justice it is really so pretty and so unique especially in the sun light.

Silver Spots

Hi loves! Todays manicure is a bit on the darker less girly side but I love it. Black and Silver is one of my favorite color combinations.

China Glaze Liquid Leather and China Glaze devotion (in hand) for the spots. Bundle Monster plate BM-221 Devotion is one of the best polishes for stamping EVER! It transfers so well on the stamp. I definitely recommend trying this one out if you are a stamping beginer. 


Thank you for reading!

Pink Zebra

Hello friends! Sorry for the hiatus, sometimes life gets crazy busy but I am back and with fun Manicures! I have been on a no buy with make up lately and I am proud  to say that I haven't purchased any since September 17th! Almost two months, that is really good for me. I have picked up a few polishes here and there but nothing crazy, and I did get a 20% off coupon from Sephora so I might just have to pick up a few things to review for you all. Anyway, back to the nails..Check it out loves!


Two Coats of China Glaze Rich and Famous a pretty Barbie Pink Creme with Orly Matte Vinyl for the Zebra stripes which is a Bundle Monster Plate BM-223. Sealed with one coat of Seche Vite for fast drying shiny goodness!

 I love this Manicure it's so much fun! Bright pink plus a playful pattern is just instant awesome! Who doesn't want to hang out with a girl that has nails like this!? Haha ok..Don't answer that. :p 
A bit closer...

Cute Halloween Nails!

Hey Loves! Halloween is just around the corner! Check out these hand painted and bundle monster stamped Halloween nails. 

I am holding China Glaze Zombie Zest  and I have it on my thumb nail over a coat of black polish.


Little Frankenstein Guy and Jack-O-Lantern hand painted using Migi Nail Art Pens. 

I haven't used the Ghoulish GLOW from China Glaze yet but out the bottle after I charged it by holding it up to the light.

AWESOME! I need to play around with this and see how it shows best on the nails. Do you think I should use a white base to make it pop? hmmmmm. What do you ladies think?

Thanks for reading!

Street Chic Flowers

HAPPY OCTOBER FRIENDS! I love this month, the mean Arizona heat is finally breaking so you can actually go outside during the day and not have to worry about melting.  Anyway, check out this fun "konadicure" I did using a great fall color from China Glaze!

China Glaze Street Chic from the Metro Collection. 
This brown beauty if from the Uptown set.
                   This is two coats and the coverage is great but honestly one thicker coat would work also.
Major flash here.

Using Konad Plate M70 with Finger Paints Papier Mache to brighten it up and make it more girly.



Thank you so much for reading. I hope you all are having a fabulous month so far!

Short nails again! I love them. I will not let them get super super long again. That was a phase and when one would break I would have a mini panic attack so yeah, shorter nails are the way to go for now. I hope you guys don't mind all of the Halloween Manicures. I know it's more than a month away but I like to get into the spirit early!
Thank you so much for reading! Have a great day!
