beaches
Hi everyone!! I did beaches around this time last year and redid them this year! If you want to see how they looked last year click here! This time I didn't put a sky instead I kept it all water and just changed a couple things! First I put two coats of American Apparel nail lacquer- Mannequin and the rest is acrylic paint! (:

purple leopard print
I know I've done nails like these in the past but I decided to do it again. First I put one coat of Rimmel London Lasting Finish PRO- Wild Orchid then over that I put two coats of Pure Ice- Busted. To do the spots I used Essie- Lilacism which was sent to me by Apothica who have a large selection of makeup, skin care and my favorite of course, nail polish! I used a detail brush with black acrylic paint to outline the spots and make smaller black ones. Have a great rest of your day!!

under the sea
Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well! I thought it'd be fun to do an under the sea theme since I have never done it before! I used Ulta salon manicure~ Mint Condition and acrylic paint with a detail brush to do the rest. These took me a while to do so I hope you like them!(:

flowers??
I saw a picture of tulips and was inspired by that so this is what I came up with. They didn't turn out how I wanted but I like the artistic look they have otherwise I could pass on them. This is one of those designs that look better from far away or see at a glance lol. I used a lot of different nail polishes to create these so if you would like to know a color feel free to ask!(:

flowers and dots
Hi everyone! Today I have a bit of a different design! It was late at night and I just winged it and this is what I ended up with! First I put two coats of NYC Quick Dry- Water Street Blue then over that I put two coats of OPI- He's My Surfing Instructor (which looks a lot like Last Friday Night from the Katy Perry collection but I'm not sure since I dont have that but thats what I immediately thought of when I saw it) and for the nail art I used acrylic paint. I hope everyone is having a great day!(:

Fashionable Friday! Buzzzzz
Its Fashionable Friday! Happy Friday everyone!! If you don't know what Fashionable Friday is you can ready about it here! Don't forget to check out Maryanne and both of her blogs!! Since its been so hot outside with the sun shining bright I wanted to do something summery so I decided on bumble bees! Remember to just have fun with doing your nails, it takes patients!
First paint your nails a base color I chose Rimmel London Lasting Finish PRO- Posh Pink which took two coats and then over that I put one coat of glitter which was SinfulColors- Pinky Glitter. Then you want to make the bees body with a yellow nail polish. I used China Glaze- Lemon Fizz with a dotting tool.
Next you want to make the wings which are like ovals but flat on one end. I used a white Stripe Rite.
Make two wings next to each other and do that to every body.
Then make the antennas which are just two lines coming out of the same spot/area. I used a black Stripe Rite.
Next put a black dot for the eye and then put the stripes on the body.
You can either stop there which would be cute or continue and put some flowers! First put two dots next to each other. I mixed Essie- Haute As Hello and SinfulColors- Snow Me White for the color.
Then put three more dots to complete the outside of the flower which are like the petals.
Fill in the flower if needed.
Continue that on all your nails in random spots. The size and shape of the flower will vary on how much space you have.
Then put a dot in the middle of your flower to finish it off and make it actually look like a flower. I used Sally Hansen Xtream Wear- Caribbean Coral.
Finish everything off with a top coat and you're done!!
I hope you like these and give them a try! (:

whimsical swirls
Please excuse the weird angles my hands are at. The only way I could get a good picture with you being able to see the nail art was like that. First I put two coats of Sally Hansen complete salon manicure- Pedal To The Metal then I put three coats of L'oreal- Silver Sparkle which I am absolutely in loveee with! I have nothing like it, it's soooo pretty!! To do the nail art I used acrylic paint with a detail brush and dotting tool. I hope you all had a great weekend! (:
