Snow woman...

I wanted to show you some nail art that I created while swatching the Elf-tastic Christmas collection by 365 Days of Color. I thought it would be fun to play off the snowflake glitter embedded in this beautiful gray polish by adding a few stamped snowflakes. Of course once there was snow, a snow woman decided that she would fit right in with her bright red hat, scarf and buttons...

31DC2013 Day 15 - Delicate Print

I can't believe it is already Day 15 of the 31 Day Nail Challenge. It seems to be flying by so quickly and we are about to get into the really challenging portion. Today's challenge calls for a delicate print manicure. I instantly thought of lace at the mention of delicate and decided to play around with stamping. As my latest obsession seems to be stamping over textured polish, I couldn't resist including this PixieDust in my manicure...

Sunday Stamping: Spring Colors...

For today's Sunday Stamping challenge in  Adventures in Stamping, the theme is Spring Colors. I struggled with such a broad theme as it leaves room for so many possibilities. I finally settled on something pink and floral, leaving me with a few ideas that will need to be tried at a later time. I also wanted to try stamping with the China Glaze holos so I chose two pink shades from the Hologlam collection to work with. Having heard that they stamp well, I had to test them out for myself...

Sunday Stamping: Valentine's Day

With Valentines Day just a few days away, it is the theme of this weeks challenge in Adventures in Stamping for Sunday Stamping. I decided to try a skittle manicure with each nail a different design. This is something that I love but I am usually too scared to try it myself. I never feel that I can coordinate them well. Let's just say for this manicure I redid a few nails more than once and what initially was a mix of four colors ended up as two. I like how it turned out and just need to keep working on it to build up my confidence with skittle manicures...

Nail-aween Challenge Day 10: Halloween Manicure

Happy Halloween Everyone!!

Today is the final day of the Nail-aween challege and gives the freedom to create any Halloween themed manicure. I want to show you a manicure that I actually created with the Bundle Monster contest in mind. The contest was held earlier this moth and is now over. Even though I made the manicure in time to enter, I changed my mind at the last minute and didn't actually submit it. I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to show it to you and there can't be any better day than Halloween itself!...

Sunday Stamping: Double Stamp

It is time for another challenge in the group Adventures in Stamping. The challenge this week is to create a manicure featuring two different patterns. My mind instantly went to this barbed wire and roses combo on the new Bundle Monster plates. I have been wanting to try it since first seeing the plates and finally got a great excuse to try...
