purple with starbursts

So, I tried to do a water marble but I think my colours were too dark and it didn`t turn out.  Also my polishes weren`t spreading properly.  So I took out my OPI Neon colours and painted them purple (OPI Seriously Purple), then added the red (Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Diamonds and Rubies 360) dot but it needed more so I put the little white (Quo by Orly White striper) star bursts.  This isn`t me re-creating someone else`s design, just me unsure what I want to do with my nails.

galaxy nails by cutepolish

I loved these when I first saw them, but didn't feel confident enough to give them a try.  I used Wet 'n Wild 456D (it's a sparkly black and since this is outer space...), the white from an old french manicure set Hart & Healthy PROfessional Solutions, essence 95 wanna be your sunshine, Sally Hansen Hard as Nails with Nylon Simply Strawberry,  Wet 'n' Wild 415A Denim Chrome and added some sparkles at the end with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 180 Disco Ball and followed cutepolish's instructions from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EMgt4_jW5U

poppies for November 11th

It may only be November 4th but I shall wear my poppy proudly until November 11th on my nails as well as over my heart.  Made with Sally Hanson Diamond Strength Diamonds and Rubies, a no name yellowy green and one of my many black polishes.



burgundy and gold V tip

I've been cutting my nails with a straight line instead of a curved line.  This gives me a bit more room for designs and opens up some new possibilities with french tips.  This one turned out quite well and would look amazing for Christmas.  It also goes with a sweater I have: burgundy with a few gold buttons on the shoulder.  :-)  I used Avon Golden Wine and Quo by Orly Glittering Gold nail striper
