Over the weekend, I went to Rehoboth Beach, and chose to have a more natural nail while I was away. I ended up liking the color so much, I added some nail art. So take a look!!

Nice 'n Natural
Happy Hump Day everyone!!! :) It's once again cloudy and rainy here in Maryland- the perfect weather for nail posting!!! LOL.
Over the weekend, I went to Rehoboth Beach, and chose to have a more natural nail while I was away. I ended up liking the color so much, I added some nail art. So take a look!!
My first thought was to attempt a dotticure, which you can see on my ring finger. However, after that didn't turn out quite as hoped, I went for the simpler, "abstract" look. :)
I love these two polishes together though!!! And it's hard to see, but the darker, accent color is actually very pretty, sparkly, and multi-toned.
That's all for today!!! I hope you all are enjoying your summers!!!!

#1 Orioles Fan
Greetings everyone!!!! For the manicure I have to share today, I changed things up a little bit and created a "Skittles" design for you all.
With the summer getting under way, Major League Baseball is in full swing, and my Baltimore Orioles are doing great! (If you don't already know, I'm obsessed.with them :). My outfit for the day consisted of jean shorts, an orange cami with white dots, an Orioles v-neck, baseball cap earrings, and a string bracelet in the O's colors. So I of course had to create some nails to match!!! :)
My idea for this mani was simply to use several different techniques in the Orioles' colors of orange, white, and black. I also wanted a good excuse to break out my black crackle polish. ;)
This pic shows the water marble that I created on my thumb. I think it turned out pretty well, and only took a couple of minutes!!!! But the results of water marbling are always so neat. :)
Here's a close-up and front view of my thumb design. For the colors, I used an orange by Ciate, black from Wet n Wild, and Sally Hansen white. All three worked great for the water marbling!!!!
On my first finger, I made a 3D type of design by dragging slightly dried polish over the orange background. Obviously my middle finger has my black Pure Ice crackle polish that I love so much :). I tried to ombre my ring finger, and it didn't turn out the best, but I think you still get the ombre feel. And then my pinky... Hmmm, not sure what to say other than I ran out of time and ideas and just painted it white. What a cop-out... LOL :)
And another side view, just because I'm sure NONE of you are getting at all tired of my sports obsession ;). Oh well, at least the Orioles are doing well so you don't have to hear me complaining all summer...
Who's your favorite baseball team? And do you like to create sports manicures???
Come back soon, and feel free to leave your thoughts below!!

Minty Funky French Manciure
Good evening, my nail friends :) Two posts in two weeks... Not bad :)
Today I'm sharing with you a design I created a couple days ago using my wonderful Konad Stamping Kit. Take a look:
The mani looks really cute, but it was pretty simple to create with my handy dandy stamps!!! I also love the color combo... The minty green (Gargantuan Green Grape by OPI) goes very nicely with the white and clean black lines.
After painting several coats of the green base, I stamped on these white French tips. The nice thing about a manicure like this is that you could even stop here and have a gorgeous French manicure.
This is a picture of my nails and the Konad plate I used, m 19. This plate is wonderful, and lets anyone create a French design on fingers (or toes) or any size. It's a little challenging at first to make sure and line up everything correctly and not create a slanted tip, but with practice, you can achieve beautiful results!!
After that, I used m 45 to add on the funky black design. This plate has six cute designs to layer on top of any French manicure. And this is done the same way as the plain French tip above. Just make sure to line up this design with the white tip already on your nails.
And Voila!!!! Here we now have a gorgeous manicure that looks like it came straight from a salon!!!

Lazy 15: Day 12- Fairytale
Okay, get ready for double posting people! :) First up, we have Wednesday's manicure which was to be inspired by a fairytale.
I chose the frog prince, because it's a fairytale that I think is unique. Most tales are some version of damsel in distress rescued by handsome prince and they get married and live happily ever after. With the frog prince, the roles are sort of reversed!
So on my thumb, we have a cute little frog and his golden crown. To better understand the next designs, here's a link to the fairytale I read: http://www.authorama.com/grimms-fairy-tales-12.html
Now, on with the other nails! :)
So on my thumb, we have a cute little frog and his golden crown. To better understand the next designs, here's a link to the fairytale I read: http://www.authorama.com/grimms-fairy-tales-12.html
- Pinky- we have some pretty pink glitter fit for a princess
- Ring finger- there's a little lilypad with some flowers
- Middle finger- in the story, the frog spends three nights at the princess' house; this nail represents that
- First finger- this is the golden ball that the frog recovered from the lake for the princess
I hope you enjoy this design as much as I did! I love the fairytale, and I think the little frog and his crown are so cute!!! :)
Polishes Used:
- OPI Gargantuan Green Grape
- Wet n Wild Fast Dry Teal or No Teal
- Wet n Wild Wild Shine Black Creme- if I may, I just have to give a quick review of this polish; I absolutely love it, and it is definitely the best black I have EVER used! The black on the middle finger above was done with ONE coat ONLY of this polish! It has a great shine as well, even without top coat.
- Sally Hansen Salon minis in White and Gold
- Sally Hansen Insta Dri in Lightening
- Sinful Colors Nail Art Sour Apple and Hey Dear!
As always, check out the other Lazy 15 participants! I can't believe this challenge will be ending in another few days!!
