El Corazon Rainbow Flowers...

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you another El Corazon Rainbow beauty and the spring time nail art that it inspired. I've been in the mood for subtle nail art lately and this monochromatic look fit the bill perfectly. I have been wearing this for the past few days and really enjoying the delicate flowers and fine holo in the base...

El Corazon Shine of Jewels

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you nail art that I created recently while I was swatching an El Corazon beauty. Although I didn't have anything specific in mind when I started out, I was mesmerized (and I'll show you why) by a dragon featured on the bottle label. I picked a stamping design that reminded me of dragon scales and embellished from there...

Sunday Stamping and El Corazon Rainbow...

I decided to take part in this week's Sunday Stamping challenge in the group Adventures in Stamping partly as an excuse to play with my new CICI&SISI stamping plates and to show you this beautiful El Corazon lacquer. The theme for this challenge is to stamp using a plate whose number ends in 2, which left the manicure options wide open. I chose a relatively simple pattern to create this luxurious tufted look...

Lily Pads with Lili Anna and El Corazon...

Hi Everyone! Today I have a manicure to show you which I really enjoyed wearing for a few days last week. It was inspired by a couple of Lily Anna stamping plates which were sent to me by the lovely Julia of Messy Mansion. I really like this water lily design and it only seemed appropriate to introduce myself to Lily Anna plates with a water lily pattern ;)

El Corazon Floral Featuring Messy Mansion Stamping...

Today I've got a floral manicure to share with you. It was inspired by the beautiful Messy Mansion floral pattern which I think looks beautiful and very royal all dressed up in purple and gold...

Snowflakes, Snowflakes, Snowflakes...

Hi Everyone! I'm starting out the year with my nails back to shorties and loving the length. For my first manicure I decided to stick with the winter theme and enjoy another snowflake manicure while I can still get away with it. Can a girl ever have too many snowflakes manicures? Just like the real thing, no two are the same...

A Transformation...

Last week I showed you a sheer little El Corazon Poly-Chrome beauty. As a rule of thumb I like to try the sheer shimmery shades over a black base and this was no exception. The beautiful brassy color that resulted did not disappoint. Accented with a bit of stamping, it was transformed from a delicate beauty last week to something much more bold today...

El Corazon Floral...

Today I would like to show you a manicure with one of the El Corazon beauties that I received for review. It made the perfect base for some delicate stamped flowers. I love how this looks as though someone just doodled on my nails...

Wild Birds...

I recently had the pleasure of doing an impromptu nail polish swap with the lovely Mari of muxe.net. A few of the El Corazon Eggs of Wild Birds polishes were on my lemming/wish list and I had mentioned this to her. They are not readily available in her area so I didn't expect her to ever find them, but she happened to come across them and snatched them up for me. A huge thanks to Mari for squashing one of my big lemmings. If you have not visited Mari's her blog yet, you are missing out on gorgeous swatches and nail art, so go check her out!

For today's manicure, I thought these pretty little birds would feel right at home on a polish inspired by bird eggs...
