Welcome!

Hey everyone, and welcome to my new blog! I've been thinking about this for months and finally got to doing it! I made my nail art blog! I was painting my nails and I liked the design so much, I finally decided that it's time. 


I'm a college undergrad working toward my BS. I dance and do karate, and with so much school work I don't have much time to be creative. Last winter my friend Jo reminded me how much I love painting my nails. Ever since I've been doing it more and more. So here is my first post for all of you, I hope you like it, and disclaimer; I always take nail pics too fast or too slow. I either get excited and and don't clean my cuticles well enough, haha, or forget for a day or two. Hope you enjoy my pictures anyway! Let me know what I can improve!

And visit my friend Jo's polish blog @ www.justaddpolish.com


Here's my fun summer sunflower freehand nail art!

I used Essie Bangle Jangle as the base, then a bunch of acrylic paints for the flowers, along with OPI DS Mystery, ZOYA Cheryl, and China Glaze Riveting as sparkle accents. Seche Vite on top.

I really like how they turned out! Thoughts?

Here are some more pics!




In this last one the first 3 fingers don't have top coat.


Thanks for visiting guys! Stay tuned!!




Oh and here are some Essie Bangle Jangle swatches
Sorry for all the pics and the long post I guess, I just don't know what angle I like ;)
