Hot Zebra

I like this.

Reminds me of hot cheddar fries. Lol

And it was just what my blank slate palettes needed. And I kinda want some Chester’s hot fries now.

OPI – “Tasmanian Devil Made Me Do It”

Welcome 2015

Happy New Year!!

For New Year’s Eve, I felt like my nails wanted “Go Big Or Go Home”…. and that meant shine bright like a diamond!! I needed glitz and glitter.

So I pulled out silver iridescent loose glitter in two sizes.

It turned out better than I even imagined. And I loved them.

They were the best party accessory ever.

I felt creatively stumped the past week. I was absolutely lazy too… ended up polishing my nails three different colors.

kinda random but they were all in the same family so it probably looked purposeful. it wasn’t.

and since I am not quite ready to cut my nails off yet, I couldn’t pin down any nail art that excited me enough to polish….

then. this happened.

i can never deny the call for a french manicure. I love this look. especially at this nail length. but of course, I couldn’t be too standard. I tossed in a black tip or two in there. 🙂

No chip, of course. It’s gotta last. *fingers crossed* 🙂

Trim

Inspiration is so interesting.
I have had this photo album for over a decade and a half, I’m sure.

…front facing photo is older than that. SMH (OMG I AM OLD – the horror!!)

I see it every time I am in my living room.
…..and all of a sudden, I wanted something similar on my nails.

Base of a white no-chip polish. I used a variety of “regular” OPI and butter London polishes for the colored “bricks”.

I hope that this lasts on my nails for a couple of weeks – I really like all the colors.

Calico

I remember first learning about “calico” from my grandparents’ cat.

Oddly, I liked that cat….. but I no longer possess that sentiment about animals.

I don’t hate them, I guess…. but I don’t want them around me. I don’t like animal hair… or dander. I’m allergic.

I’m more a puppy person…. but dogs stink too. hahaha

….That’s some no-chip polish design action going on…. 🙂

Can I Get A What What

I got some really kind compliments on these dots. Dots never fail to make the best impressions apparently. 🙂

It’s been a while since my last post, but I have been taking care of my nails. I wore this beautiful red for a solid 2 weeks!!! AND with no design….. can’t even believe that.

gelish – “Little Princess” w/ gold leopard spots

Sheer no-chip base color makes this design just neutral enough. Then there is that spot of gold to subtly jazz up my design. Winking smile

#NoNailStickers

I love this “Evolution of Smooth” lip balm. Pictured is the “Summer Fruit” one….. but I’m desperately searching for the Limited Edition “Fresh Watermelon” one. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. LOL
