Pink Wednesday A little late. XD

I wanted to try something a little different than the plates i see most people using, so I used the chains on BM12. They are a bit punky, but I like them.

A new love of Yellow

I actually have always hated the color yellow. Not many things are pleasant that are yellow in my mind. I have really really bad allergies and yellow has always reminded me of that. BUT I got this yellow from Sally Hansen awhile ago and I actually really like it. 

This is HD Lite with a design from Bundle Monster plate BM12 in black Konad special polish

Red Glitter Love

I just got a couple of Finger Paints, and one was this like darker red with glitter. I just wanted a darker red and it looked good. Once I tried it though, I loved it. It is "Romanticism Ruby." And it certainly made me feel romantic. Nothing like a good standout red to make you look hot. :D

This is just one coat with a base and top coat. If I had done another coat it would have come out darker, but I was in a rush. My previous color had just chipped off. 

Water Inspiration - Blue gradiant

I really love the four elements that people thought were what made up all life before science ruined all the philosophical fun, earth, wind, water, and fire. This is water inspired and I absolutely love these 2 colors.

They are both SinfulColors, the lighter is Gorgeous, and the darker is Midnight Blue.

I sponged the darker onto the lighter.

Butterflies Freehand

I know I have not been posting as regularly lately, been busy with my final week of classes. In fact I actually had to do 4 take home tests for my psych class. It is my own fault for not getting them in the first place, but at least I was able to complete them :D

So earlier this week I did this free hand mani for color club's contest on facebook. The original grass inspiration is from robin moses, but the butterflies actually came from a painting I did for my brother and sister-in-law a couple years ago. I hope you like it.

The first thing I did was just add a few leaves in Wet and Wild SaGreena the Teenage Witch. 

This is also a great color to do the whole nail it, absolutely gorgeous.

Then some more leaves in a lighter green, Lime Light from Nina Ultra Pro.

The butterflies are much more complex.

While this image is a little blurry, it actually turned out great. I used a black nail art pen for the outline, then used a brush to dot on the orange in the blank areas. The orange is Crushed by Sally Hansen.

This butterfly is done similarly, with the nail art pen to do the outline, filled in the blue with Marine Scene from Sally Hansen, then used a brush to add the little white dots to the wing edges.

I really loved doing this manicure. I even left it on until it started chipping simply because it was a lot of work and turned out so nice. The right hand did not turn out as great since my left hand does not like to cooperate with my bran to do the small details, but it looked ok. lol

My first blog post

So hi! I'm new to the blogging thing but have enjoyed reading many already including MoondancerJen's Nails as she is my future sister-in-law and got me hooked on doing my nails. I've been doing them for awhile now, ever since she first brought over her stamping plates so I will have a bunch of pics to post really soon.

I hope you all enjoy my blog, which will mainly consist of photos of the designs I've done, and probably not much typing unless I hear that it is wanted.

Thanks!

Above is my collection of nail polish and my work bench, aka the coffee table in our living room.
