Mani #5 Plum Purrs

For this fierce mani I used a Ruby Kisses Polish called Purplicious.  I used the grape polish to coat the tips of the nail with 1-2 coats. The color is a beautiful French manicure on its own. I wanted to spice it up with the tiger stripes design on the tips. I achieved this look by stamping the nail tip with Silver Konad Special Polish and using Konad plate m57. It’s a fun loving mani. Perfect for a night out on the town and those looking for a more adventurous manicure.

Yes I have no shame is admitting I’m rather new to blogging but one of the great thing about up and comers is most of them are eager to learn more…as am I.  If you have any tips on how to improve my blog…especially how to achieve the best possible close-up images I can from a point and shoot  digital camera(buying a new one soon, recommendations welcome) feel free to  leave me a comment or email me at Raindropz1021@yahoo.com

Mani #4- Subtle Elegance

This manicure oozes simplicity but will be a big hit with those who are looking for a ‘discrete’ ‘attention grabber’ ^_^. This manicure is also the debut of my much shorter nails L. But none the less I like this look. For this mani I used a Fingerpaints nail polish called Art Lofty Toffee. 

Bare with me folks as far as the images go. I’m new to this and am working at getting better more clear images. The images don’t give justice to this polish. 

I would best describe it as a warm peach color. In some images it will appear neutral. With the flash on you see it with more of a pink-ish hue. Only one coat was needed. And the simple nail detail was accomplished with Cina Nail Art Rhinestones…pictured below.  I think I might experiment with more rhinestones in the future. Possibilities are endless considering they come in so many sizes, shapes an colors.

OH nooooo……

Man down. Man down….. no just kidding but I did suffer an unfortunate loss. One of my precious nails cracked  L  Now im forced to cut them all down and start over. And FYI I’m not one of those lucky females who nails grow overnight so….yea I’m kinda sad. I may have to give up the tip designs I’ve been so favoring lately. But nonetheless  the Mani Fashion Show will continue. 

Mani #3 - Houndstooth Strawberry Splash

For this mani I used a L.A. Girls nail polish from their Metal collection. It’s called Iron Red though I must admit the polish looks more like a hot pink.  I took the shimmery ‘hot pink’ polish and coated just the tip of the nail. The beauty of this metallic nail polish is its opaque in 1 coat.  After drying completely I stamped the nail with the houndstooth full nail design using Bundle Monster plate #19 and a sky blue Konad Special Polish.
