Nail Art? Sure, I'll give it a try.

After my semi-success with watermelons I decided to try out some strawberries! I needed a nail art brush in a hurry. I happened to be at the Century City Mall that day with co-workers so I popped into Sephora having remembered seeing a dotting tool & nail art brush there for $10.  I went home that night so excited to try out some strawberries.  I used Enchanted Polish "Stay Classy San Diego" for the base, "Gummy Worm" for the leaves and "Serendipity" for the seeds.




  
Happy with the outcome above I decided that my next adventure into nail art would be roses.  I just loved seeing manicures with roses on them and really wanted to figure out how to do it. I did some investigating and found a helpful you-tube video. Here is the link in case you're interested.  I can't say the below looks exactly accurate but I'm not bummed with how it turned out.  For my base I used one of my favorite colors, Rescue Beauty Lounge "Aqua Lily", for the flowers and leaves I used OPI Pink Friday, Essie First Dance, and OPI Jade is the New Black. If I'm motivated tonight I may try to flower up the rest of my fingers... we'll see :)

Time To Pretend

I am slowly getting through Enchanted Polish's Time To Pretend collection. I showed you Kids before, and today I have another gorgeous color from that collection to show you -- and this one is named Time to Pretend. I should really listen to some MGMT songs so I can place the polish with the songs! Thanks to Chelsea, every time I hear a song by the Beatles that has the same name of an Enchanted Polish, my mind immediately goes to polish... well, I guess that's nothing too new or different for me :)

Thank Blue and Too

I love blue nail polish. I always have. Lynnderella has two beautiful blues that I adore.  Thank Blue and it's sequel, Thank Blue Too.  I honestly couldn't tell you which one I like more... I think they are both gorgeous.  Which one do you prefer?

Tis the season

Nail art... one day I'll get the right tools and have the patience to really go for it. One of my first attempts is a watermelon manicure. I saw a picture of this manicure last week and immediately had to try and imitate it.  It was perfect timing as I was already wearing Stay Classy San Diego from Enchanted Polish which is a beautiful red holo.  All I needed to do was spice it up!
