Essie – “Penny Talk”
♫ What more can I say?!?!?!?♫ *Jay Z voice*
I LOVE this mirror metallic. love, love, love, love, love.
I purchased it with the specific intent to stamp it over black! It was everything I hoped for. Everything I dreamed it would be.
Coupled with my new Bundle Monster Plate (BM- 213), I couldn’t be more pleased.
♫ Oh I’m fancy, huh ♪… 
. . . . nails done……
Check out the manicure I created for The Fashionista Next Door !!

Let me know what you guys think!!! 🙂
The Butterfly and I hung out. 
Of COURSE we did our nails…and practiced more stamping! And this stamping thing definitely takes practice.
She chose a really pretty blue: OPI – “What’s With The Cattitude”
Konad plate – m4

I finally settled on a color to match my dress for the party I attended later that evening. (The Butterfly picked out my shoes).
OPI – “Black Onyx”
Konad plate – m54
And we didn’t even use the butterfly stamps at all?!?!?

Two favorite colors?? ok. And then a little sparkle…well, just because 
OPI – “A-Taupe The Space Needle” & “Black Onyx” 
w/ Color Club – “Gold Glitter” Nail Art Striper

Cutest. design. ever.
As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to try it.
So, I used my favorite… OPI “I’m Not Really A Waitress”… striped OPI “Black Onyx” across and made a “Glitter Hologram” buckle….
Voila! Santa’s belt.
I absolutely love this design. So fun! Really may work for any time of the year – if you’re a diva…. it’s all in the context. Because it’s almost December 25th, we’ll just say this is holiday nail art. 
The actual size of my nailbed, I realize, just doesn’t have THAT much space.
I have a difficult time appreciating extensive nail art with 3D ornamentry (lol, I KNOW it’s not a word – yeah, yeah, ornamentation).
Simply because of the limited area on a fingernail, visually digesting a bunch of rhinestones and feathers, numbers and letters, all at once, is just way too overwhelming for my personal taste…. and thus was born:
the dot
OPI “Black Onyx”
lol.
It was such a statement, I just couldn’t add more. and I love it.
#period
#thatisall
….. I either needed more soothing….
…or maybe I really am just addicted. 
Now that my nails are short- I mean, short, short- they are so much FUN! So much fun to change – frequently. Playing around with my new acrylic paint and dotting tool, I came up with:
FUN!
Playful without being overly distracting. Designed but not over-cluttered.
And E-A-S-Y as pie.
My tools:
OPI “Black Onyx” in all its sleek beauty
Dotting art tool
white, pink & orange acrylic paint
Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat
I love this little design. Makes me smile every time I look down at my hands. I’m definitely doing more polka dots! soon!
Try it, and send me your results. I would love to see what you come up with!
