FROGS

It was a frog inspired weekend! These are two different sets of frog nails. The frog is made from fimo clay and can be purchased through kennickkreations.com. On both sets of nails I put a thin layer of acrylic and then placed the frog on the nail. Then I covered over it with acrylic. I finished off with a gel top coat! Ribbit, ribbit!

DOTS WHERE?

Sometimes my clients really surprise me with the ideas they come up with. I have to say it's my clients ideas that turn out to be some of the funnest and cutest nails! I couldn't keep up the creativity without all of you so thanks! This time I put the dots down into the pink and then added flowers on the ring fingers. The colored acrylic is called "flamingo"

WATERMELONS CONT...

This is a fimo clay watermelon. I layed it into the acrylic and added pink tips to match. Now I'm craving watermelon!

Summer Flowers

This is a real dried pink flower on the ring finger. I added little purple mylar flowers on all the nails.

BLACK & WHITE STRIPE RIBBON

This is black and white stripe ribbon. It's sooo easy to do. The hardest part about using ribbon on nails is simply finding ribbon that is small enough. If anyone out there finds some fabulous good quality tiny ribbon please let me know! Click on comment at the bottom of this blog to leave me a message. Thanks!

CHERRY TOES

The battery in my camara died right after I took this picture so even though it's not a perfect shot I'm happy I got it. These toes I did with acrylic. The cherry is made from polymer clay that I purchased from kennickkreations.com I added the little red dots with nail polish.

FLOWER POWER

These mylar flowers I ordered from e-bay. The little rings and dots are made by cinapro. You can purchase some of the nail art stuff I use from Color My Nails school. On some of the fingers I put the flowers down into the pink. I think it's a fun touch! I hope you enjoy my latest blogs.

A rainbow of fruit flavor

Aren't these creative! I give complete credit to my client for this design. These nails have different colored mylar rings and dots in all of the nails. Then I added the different color tips.


Red, White and Silver Circle

These are a fun spin on fourth of July nails. I did a layer of white acrylic. While it was still a little wet I pressed a round pen lid into it. Once it was dry I added the red, white and silver into the indentations. You could do this with any color combination.

Fourth of July & Summer fun!

I went to a nail art class tonight and got some more inspiration for nail art. I hope to put what I learned to use and post some pictures that are different than what I've done before so check my blog in the next week or so....Oh yeah and don't forget to click on the Older Posts link at the bottom of this page to view several pages of my nail art. Thanks!
More fourth of July nails!

More fourth of July nails!


These are little light green mylar flowers with yellow polka dots added. They are so holographic and bright that I had a hard time getting my camara to focus on them.


These nails are done with opi soak off gel. It is a brand new product made by opi. It is a gel nail polish that is cured under a uv light. It lasts for 2-3 weeks with no chipping! It is an amazing product. You can purchase the matching nail polish if any touch ups are needed between appointments.

These are some super fun nails that I did but the picture didn't turn out that great. The ring fingers have real dried flowers in pink and yellow that I overlapped. The pink and yellow dots are from the cina pro dots and rings kit.
