Decided to snap a pic of my natural nails, just plain… au naturale….. and before I re-polished them.

I think I like my nails. Smile I’m giving them the chance to grow out a little bit. I did a gel polish manicure this time just so I would leave them alone for a few days (fingers crossed that I’ll make it through an entire week though. lol)

gelish – “Jet Set” w/black nail gems

Tasmanian Tiger

Jun13 by Cheryl Cheryl

What a predictable nail art day. Gotta get some creativity going.

Even still, I love these colors. A robust and orangey red and a golden-ish shimmery frost.

Ick Green

Jun7 by Cheryl Cheryl

I feel drawn to the most drab, split pea, baby poo green nail polish colors. LOL

Like I HAVE to use them because #1) No one else seems to want to use them and #2) I have to prove that the color is really not ugly!

I love this color! ha ha It’s like a murky chartreuse with a shimmer in the finish. I pretty much nullified the shimmer with my dots though. oh well Winking smile .

OPI – “Don’t Talk Bach To Me” w/ acrylic paint dots

Carnaval

Jun5 by Cheryl Cheryl

It actually feels like it’s the same time of year as Carnaval…. just in a different location. It feels like February in Chicago. You wouldn’t believe we are about 2 weeks from SUMMER! I need the temperature to rise.

This design just put me in the mind of some Brasilian festivities…. Smile

China Glaze – “Flip Flop Fantasy” & “Sun Worshipper”

Gradient in “pinks” covered in cheetah print. I like…..very much.

Allure

May28 by Cheryl Cheryl

Needed some glitter in my nail life. Some “glitzy-shiny”.

gelish – “Allure” with gold leaf flakes & loose gold glitter

Marbleous

May23 by Cheryl Cheryl

…as coined by Angela. Smile It is the perfect description of my manicure design!

Marbling just looks incredible. It’s artwork on my nails!

gelish – “Sweet Morning Dew” & “Sea Foam”
marbled on a base of “Sheek White”

I thought I was taking a break from no-chip …. but I guess I’m back to it. oh well!

And my hands need a spa manicure… they are looking worn. LOL. I must be working too hard. Smile

Corporate Conservative, yes–nail art

May16 by Cheryl Cheryl

I was feeling kinda low-key for my manicure.

This is perfect for those who work in extremely conservative environments or whose personality is just more classic and lower key. I’ve heard the term “grown-up nail art” thrown around a bit lately…. I think this design and color coordinate fits the bill.

gelish – “Medieval Madness” & “Sheek White”

Striping

May14 by Cheryl Cheryl

I really like these…. so much so that I can’t bring myself to remove the polish on the one nail. I’ve changed the other polish 3 times…. and since the striped nail hasn’t chipped or anything…. I haven’t taken it off. Smile I like stripes…. my dots are getting jealous. LOL
