Candy Splatter

Rather than narrow down a single shade for my mani's, 

lately I've been having lots of fun using multiple colors 

for sponging, gradients, and marbling and 

I've been having a blast!

Here is my most recent look, 

using some candy inspired shades topped with black and white splatter.

Glittery Peacock

Here's a design from all things, 

a Christmas ornament. 

I found these peacock ornaments in Walmart

the other week and I absolutely fell in love with them!!

The moment I grabbed them, I just knew I had to

make it into a nail design

On a side note,

as time goes by, 

I am having more and more difficulty

struggling to make a decent design

with my carpal tunnel syndrome.

I refuse to give up my love for nail art. 

Surgery is not an option for me at this time.

I already have braces, but they only do so much. 

If anyone else is struggling with 

similar issues and you have an ointment or technique that 

works for you, please share it with me as I'm 

becoming increasingly frustrated with my mangled hands!

Cool Zebra

Hi Everyone! 

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Summer so far!

Things have been a little slow on my blog, and I do apologize for that!

As my kids get older, every Summer, every holiday, it seems to 

be increasingly more difficult to find time and reign them in...

and I haven't even reached the teens yet!

YIKES!

But I do have a new design today, and I've also got some

hauls and swap posts coming up as well.

So today, I've got a blue turquoise gradient zebra print. 

I don't know why, but I always associate animal prints 

with Summer, I guess it is just the boldness and the fun of them.

I always like using unusual color combinations with my prints too

to keep it even more interesting.

I've had several people comment that this feels more aquatic, 

and reminds them of drifting seaweed....that works too!

This design was inspired by so many others I've seen, I just had to 

try it out and make it my own. 

I hope you like it!

The products I used were:

NYX Girls Polish in -Maven

Kleancolor in - Pastel Teal

Ruby Kisses in - Teal Envy

Kleancolor in - Neon Aqua

L.A. Colors Art Deco in - Black
