Hey guys, Happy Halloween! If you didn't catch it last week, I posted a tutorial on a costume inspired by Michelle Phan. I am Hatsune Miku today! Here is the video if you need to catch up!

Here are the nails I decided to do to go along with my costume. Nothing too fancy, but the colors are pretty perfect. I used Turned Up Turquoise and Atlantis by China Glaze for my polish colors. I also used some studs as accents.

Happy Friday, once again! Today's Friday fan is LO!!!!!!!!!

I actually want to begin by thanking her and all of you for giving me ideas for manis. I would never have the courage to try all these different things if you didn't show your support the way you do.

I had been thinking about this mani for a while and I started practicing on Wednesday for it. I had no such luck so I figured I'd just wing it.

I began by doing a trial hand with different designs. I asked hubby what he thought and he gave me his influential answer. Here is my test hand.


Clearly I had no idea what I was doing, but you know what? This is how you learn, people! Trial and error! I'm glad I did it this way and I wanted to show you that ugliness occurs quite often, lol.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the pictures. The one thing that got me though this mani was Lo's words to me when I told her I was a little nervous about this mani. "Just have fun with it," she says. Well, I did!

So, if you don't know Fox Claws, you're missing out. I loved her recent snowflake mani and I've wanted to recreate it. She, of course, was inspired by Donna F. Today I was finally able to get my nails wiped clean and ready for this task.

Nothing to it. Enjoy the pictures! Oh yea, Tabitha, I did ALL TEN FINGERS! BE PROUD!

So, we took the grandmother hostage today! She has not been to our use yet since she's been down here, so while the in-laws are here, we had a mini ladies day.

My mother-in-law made beautiful chopped salads for lunch and then we took a small coffee break. Next come the manis!

I whipped out my swatch sticks for grandma to look at. We ended up with a holographic, yay! We did China Glaze Fireside Glow for the mother-in-law.

Happy Friday after Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day and ate a ton of good food.

Happy hump day, happy Wednesday, happy Thanksgiving Eve!

It's FRIDAY!!!! There are many times where I have no idea what to do on my nails. Thankfully, I have friends and fans that give me ideas.

Today at lunch, I asked my good friend Shoni [go check out her music page] to give me 2 or 3 colors for another mani. She told me red, purple, and gold. As soon as she said that, I knew what I wanted to do.

For this mani, I used Color Club Red-ical Gypsy, ULTA Devious, and Orly Luxe. I used a sponging technique and then stamped over it with Shany plate SH20.

*be careful sponging red. it likes to stain.*

I hope you enjoy this. For next Friday's Fan Pick, comment here or on my Facebook page.

Happy Thursday! Let me start off by saying thank you for reading and following my blog. TJ's Thursday pick is a new weekly series where I have my husband choose a stamping plate and colors for me to do a design.

Way back when, if I had trouble figuring out what I wanted to do on my nails, I'd ask him, he'd tell me, and it would actually turn out looking good!

Tonight, he chose a Scorpio theme with black and gold. We are both Scorpios and it's still the Scorpio's time so it's only fitting.

I hope you like this and decide to try it out using the same techniques.

To tide you over until tonight, here is my current mani. I haven't stamped in quite a long time, so I decided to dust off my scraper and stamper and get to it! Here's what it looks like if you haven't already seen it from my Facebook page.



I used Color Club Harp On It, Shany plate SH21, and Konad Special Polish in black.

Last night there was a massive nail page picture sharing frenzy. Luckily, I had several pages share this picture and I was THRILLED when I saw the results. I hope to bring you more beautiful manis in addition to giveaways and haul pictures.
