Peacock Nails and Fly

Hey Everyone,

Today I have a really pretty design inspired by peacocks. I got this idea from julieg on YouTube. If you guys haven't checked her out yet she has some really awesome nail tutorials. I used really bright colors so they would stand out and I was definitely not disappointed. But before I show you the design, I'm going to show you the base color that I used for these because it's to pretty not to show it off!


Fly- China Glaze

 Love Love Love! This color is so bright and vibrant perfect for spring and summer! Now for the design

 Colors I used
Fly- China Glaze

Turned up Turquoise - China Glaze

Recycle - China Glaze

Mesmerized - Essie 

First I drew on the feather's with the black stripper. Then I layered the three colors on top of each other giving the design the peacock effect. ENJOY!

  

Cocktails and Sparkles

Ola:) I wanted to share one of my new favorite colors for the winter. It's from Essie of course. I dunno what it is but I LOVE their colors. I will make a post on the color that started my whole nail polish addiction :p but in the mean, time enjoy this one.


Cocktail Bling and Disco Ball

 Isn't this cute with the Sally Hansen sparkle nail polish on top? I love it. Sorry if you can't really see the sparkles. They are there though. One of my other favorites from the Cocktail Bling collection is "School of hard Rocks" it's a soft creamy teal:) See you ladies soon.

Power Clutch and Very Structured

Hey Ladies!

Wow two posts in one week yeah for me! I'm getting better:) I have two swatches to show you from Essie's 2011 Fall collection that is all inspired by purses. I found myself loving these two the most out of the collection. I wasn't so sure about Very Structured when my sister picked it out, but I like trying different colors and I wasn't disappointed. 

Power Clutch with Luxeffects Topcoats

 In case you guys can't see the silver topcoat is on my index finger. I loved this mani! One of my favorites.



Very Structured

Pretty yes? This color is very sophisticated and wearable for all seasons. Enjoy!

A Pretty Pink and Checkered Things

Hello Everyone,

I swear I've been wanting to put A LOT more posts up this new year, but I've been slacking:( and the sad thing is I have so many pictures on my camera ready to go.*sigh* lol anyways I wanted to share one of my favorite pinks to wear from China Glaze. This is from there Spring 2011 collection called "Anchors Away" It's a nautical theme collection and all the colors are amazing. The names are real cute as well. I think this is a real statement pink. People just notice it when it's on. I also did a black and white checkered design. I Love, love, love this really eye catching! Here we go:

China Glaze Ahoy!

Checkered Nails!

 
 For these nails, I  used a black stripper from "Art Deco" with silver sparkle in it. I love this look. I think I'll experiment with some different colors. Maybe black and yellow, black and yellow haha:) See you ladies!

OPI Delight

Today I have some of my favorite OPI nails colors to share. Also another one of Essie Topcoats that I have a new found love for:)

Purple with a Purpose and Pure Pearlfection 

 I loved this combination, I wore it for about a week and a half :) The topcoat really brings out the pink and blue sparkles in the purple. This is one of my favorite purples to wear.


Diva Of Geneva

I'm Suzi and I'm a Chocoholic

 Sorry that my hands look ghostly white. Think its the lighting with my camera or maybe I don`t have enough lotion on lol. Anyhow both these colors are from OPI's Swiss Collection and I especially love "I'm Suzi and I'm a Chocoholic" It's red with a some brown undertones. Really cute. See you guys soon!

Useful Tools and Water Marble

Hey Ladies,

I wanted to share some tools I use that make my hands soft and keep my nails beds sharp:) I got these from two of my friends for my birthday, and the other from my sister:)

Spa Manicure Scrub

This is an instant manicure scrub . It leaves yours hand incredibly soft and supple. I try to use this twice a week when I'm about to do a new manicure. You can also use it on your feet. and Shaving Gel 3 in one. (I haven't used it on my feet, but I may do that in the summertime when it's time for sandles and flip flops haha.)


Travel Manicure Set

I love this set. This is from Covergirl. I never knew how to use the cuticle stick until I had one lol. This also come with a nail file and a buffer. It's really useful when your on the go. My nails break on occasion so it's nice to have a little kit handy in my purse. It's a real pet peeve of mine to have uneven nails.


Now for the best part Water Marble!!!

This took me a few tries. I really didn't think it was going to be that difficult until I tried it. You really have to make sure the water is room temperature for it to work just right. You can also make different patterns on your nails and have more of one color on your nail then another. You also have to work really quick because the nail polish does dry on the surface of the water pretty quickly. I used two of my favorite colors (Yellow and Blue) and Gray to make it three. Enjoy!

China Glaze -Recycle

Essie- Mesmerized

Sally Hansen -Lightning Bolt

Mad About Blue

Happy New Year Everyone!

Hope everyone had a great New Years Eve and an even better 2011 and hope your looking forward to a wonderful 2012.

Today I have some of my favorite blues to wear from Essie. I LOVE wearing high pigment colors it's makes a nice statement on your nails! With that being said here are the swatches:)

                                            Essie - Mesmerize 

Isn't this color beautiful?? I love it so much. I think it's perfect for Winter and Summer. This also looks great with a gold top coat over it as well. Def one of my favorites!


                                            Essie- Smooth Sailing

Next up is "Smooth Sailing" This color has a bunch of sparkle in it, including silver and blue. This is from their Spring 2011 collection very eye catching. Essie never disappoints me:) I used Art Deco strippers to draws on the lines. Enjoy! See you ladies soon!
