Go Giants Nails
Go Giants Nails
I'm not a big sports fan but I'm from California! In honor of the game tonight I did some Go Giants Nails. These are freehand and not perfect since my hands are a bit shakey today. Fun nails to sport with our friends who support the opposing team :)

Purple Rain Nails
Purple Rain Nails
Some nails for the month of October! Wanted to do some Halloween colored nails but still wanted them to look pretty. I used a base of Confetti - Purple Reigns topped with Spoiled - Battle of the Sexes. And yes these nails did make me think of Prince's Purple Rain song!

Dark Flamingo Nails
Dark Flamingo Nails
I painted these nails a couple of weeks ago before I left for my California trip. I got so many compliments on my nails in the airport while traveling. Nail colors are a light grey base with peach striping, done free hand. These nails lasted a good long time but had no chance against the elements. Went to California to visit family and to go camping with friends. Lake Shasta was amazing even with the chance of a forest fire making us evacuate. Fire was controlled and we continued to have a blast. Floatie time on Shasta lake was amazing and it made me miss California so much on our return to Florida. Love Florida but this August humidity is plain yucky. It will pass though and we will be back to year round perfect weather once again.

Yellow Deco Nails
Yellow Deco Nails
It has been a while since I played with my nail polish so here it is. This polish is a yellow base with a mint green polish done in a dot pattern. Then I layered on black, white and silver polish in a slash motion. Fun look for my fingers and toes and looks great when wearing grey clothing.

Piggy Paints For Kids, Pregnant Women and Puppies!
Piggy Paints
On my recent trip to CA I saw that my sister had painted my little niece Aubrey's toe nails. She just loves looking down at her toes with her bright pink polish! Too cute!! After searching on line I found this line called Piggy Paints. This line offers a safe nail polish for your little one or you when you are pregnant! There are no toxic chemicals; it’s free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, Bisphenol A, ethyl acetate and acetone. Piggy Paints also offers Puppy Paints for when you or your little one can not resist painting your dogs nails! Not surprising this line added an embittering agent to their product to prevent licking or chewing. This is a water based paint so it is recommended to apply 2-3 thin coats, air dry 60 seconds then blow dry polished nails for 1 minute with your dryer set on warm/heat/low.Non-toxic
Low Odor
Water-based formula
Hypoallergenic
Fun, vibrant colors
Dries to a hard, durable finish
Cruelty-free
Safe for use during Pregnancy!
Need to remove that polish safely Piggy Paints has a polish remover that is acetone free!

QTICA Qnail Half Time Polish Drying Accelerator
Qtica Half Time
Florida Sand and my pool bottom were constantly damaging my polish on my toes. Until I went for a pedicure with my Mom. At the end of the pedicure they tilted my foot downwards and dropped a one drop of QTICA Qnail Half Time Polish Accelerator on each nail. This polish accelerator made my dry time quick but it also made my polish stronger. This product will prevent any dents, smudges, streaks or bubbles in your polish. This product comes in a small bottle but the product goes a long way so lasts a long time. I was able to find a bottle of this at Ulta. Worth the money and the extra step in my nail routine!

Pink Marbled Nails
Pink Marbled Nails
I woke up early today and decided to play with some pink marbled nail designs. My nails are naturally long. When they get to this length I tend to play with polish more often. This technique can also be done on artificial nails. I will do a tutorial on this in the future with some new designs and different colors. Have a particular design you would like to learn? Send me a message and I will do my best to add it in to my future tutorial instruction.
