Birthday Nail Art....

I know you guys have seen this hundreds of times... but I couldn't come up with anything else on short notice.  My birthday is right after New Year's Day so I didn't have much time to dwell on it... but cute it came out, I think.  :)

I did two coats of Kimber by Zoya and drew on the proverbial celebratory cupcake on my accent nail.  My 6-year old told me to.  LOL  And again, one coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust on the pinky.  *shrugs*  Why not.

Happy New Year!!! My not-so fancy nails....

I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year!  I ended up going to my best friend's and hanging out... nothing fancy.  Just good friends and good laughs. 

My nails for the occasion?  Just two coats of China Glaze Gossip over Gimlets and one coat of Fairy Dust for subtle extra sparkle, which you can see in the blurry pic below. 

 

 

 

Happy Polishing!

My new favorite PURPLE!

I know it's no secret my favorite shade is purple... and this is a doozy I found at a dusty. 

Anyway.  This is Creative Fantasy by China Glaze and its simply delicious.  Look at it!  It's a jelly, so it took like 4 coats to get it to look like this and STILL, I found a little patchiness, but the shade more than makes up for it.  Who cares?  Nobody but me is going to be looking that closely at my nails.  :)

Then I used one coat of Fairy Dust, also by China Glaze, on the accent nail.  I just love that holographic prismatic glitter.  There's a picture below that's a bit blurry just so you can check it out.  *love*

Happy Polishing!

Zoya Natural Collection

Could these shades be lovelier?  I mean, really... very office appropriate too.  Now I'm totally blessed with the type of boss that doesn't care what's on my nails.  No joke.  I don't even own many neutral polishes (until now)....  But seriously, these shades are demure and understated yet very refined.  And the application was ideal.  Two smooth coats and we're done.   Take a look!

 

 

 The picture below was taken with flash.

 
These final pics were just taken in daylight.  Aren't the shades pretty?????

 

Happy Polishing!

Sorry for the #latepost... but better late than never!

This was my last Christmas mani, my pretties.  And I decided to go untraditional and use pink.  YES, PINK!  Tell me what you think.  Colors and swatches all listed below... and you know the nail art is all done with tiny brushes I personally find at Michaels and acrylic paints from the crafts store.  One day I want to invest in real honest to goodness nail art brushes.  Alas.... 

 The flash really makes that pink glow, right???4

 Here are pics in daylight.

Happy Polishing!

Christmas Mani No. 2: Rudolph

And today I bring you Rudolph.... at the request of my children.  LOL

I used Zoya's Jacqueline as the base, Flynn for the actual reindeer, and then my other nails have one coat of China Glaze's Phat Santa topped with one coat of their Ruby Pumps.

 
The actual reindeer is done with tiny nail art brushes, as usual... and a little acrylic pant for the antlers.  The kind you find at your local arts and crafts store.  *love that place*

 

 
This picture was taken without the flash.

Happy Polishing!

Zoya’s Crusade against Artificial Nail Products:Since 1993, Zoya Nail Polish and Treatments has provided quality, long-wearing formulations that are free of potentially toxic ingredients. Here’s how the battle against artificial and toxic products was won…

As owner of the country’s first Natural Nail and Skin Spa and armed with relevant information on potential health hazards, Zoya Reyzis was resolute to create a new line of quality professional products that would meet her exacting specifications. Pregnant at the time, she enlisted the aid of her Chemist Husband, Michael Reyzis, to develop toluene, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate free formulations that would provide extended wear on natural nails making Zoya the first to develop a “Big 3 Free” formula of nail polish. In the years since the birth of the brand, the commitment to providing safe and effective products has soldiered on with Zoya once again leading the way with the removal of formaldehyde resins and camphor to create the first “Big 5 Free” nail polish brand.

Find the Zoya Naturel Nail Polish Collection and over 300 stunning BIG5FREE* Zoya colors on www.zoya.com. Each and every color has a name as unique as the women who inspired it.

*Formula is completely free of formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate, toluene and camphor.

Christmas Mani No. 1: Snowman

Hi there!  I'm super excited this week because I get to start on Christmas nail art.  Fall, although nice and the colors are rich and fabulous, just doesn't thrill me when it comes to nail art.  Christmas?  Whole different animal.

 
I used the following colors: Zoya Blu on all nails... and did a slight gradient on the accent nail using Misa Heaven White and Bahamian Escape by China Glaze. 

 

Then used a dotting tool for the snowflakes.

Cute, huh?

 
You guys know me and acrylic paint... take those tiny art brushes from Michael's and a little steady hand and that's all it takes.  Especially with the amount of inspiring nail art you can find online these days...

 

 

Happy Polishing!
