Abstract Mani

Hi everyone!

Sorry I have been MIA.  Last week was rough.  I'm still trying to get over being sick and just got some very very bad news about a few people close to me.  So, was a little scattered.  My computer is still down for the count.  You forget to be thankful for Photoshop's fast efficiency when you are forced to use Paint.  Oh well. The burgandy is so beautiful and vibrant.  Just couldn't capture it.  Maybe I will try to take some pictures in the sunlight tomorrow and see if they are better.

But, have no fear, I'm back to painting.  I was in a Zoya abstract mood today.  I used Zoya Isla and Richelle. Let me know what you think!

Flower Mani - Giveway Ends 3/12

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to remind everyone that the giveaway ends 3/12!  Get your entries in if you haven't. Click HERE

Ok, so decided on some simple flowers.   I just 1/2 sponged the nail with a lighter blue on a slant, and then drew a flower on.  I used a metallic blue mixed with the original color for the inside of the flower and used yellow for the center.  On the naked nail, I used China Glaze Glacier.  And that is it.  Hope you like them.

Yellow mani

Hi,

My hubby brought a stomach virus home so it hit me last Wednesday hard (I am keeping track for judicial purposes). I've been down for the count.  So, I threw together a mani this afternoon. It looks better on my hand then I could capture in pictures. It was hard to capture the copper shimmer.  But, my computer is still down so I only have Paint to try to crop etc.  I used Barielle Aura Angora (my first time using Barielle - a bit watery for my tastes), nail art striper and CND Copper Shimmer on the natural nail and right around the other side of the striper line to give it a bit of shimmer.  Here ya go.
