OPI Rumple's Wiggin'

Purple is one of my favorite colors so I have a lot different shades of purple nail polish!  One of the purples I own is OPI Rumple's Wiggin'.  I liked how light and clean it looked so I decided to use white Konad stamping polish.  I also placed purple rhinestones in the middle of the flowers (Konad plate m29).

Here's Sonia Kashuk Smoke and Mirrors with N.Y.C. Starry Silver Glitter.  I also added a few matching rhinestones on my ring finger.

Rhinestones

I miss blogging and reading nails blogs!  School and student teaching kept me super busy and tired this past year.  But now I’m done and have some free time :)  I still have pictures from last year that I still want to post so I’ll start off with those.

From when we still had our weekly nail nights ..

China Glaze Flyin High

Im sure many of you know who Thriszha from Fab Your Nails is and how creative her nail art is.  Last year in April, she created a full nail design using a small pattern and stamping it twice.  I loved it so much, I had to try it myself.  Although I read her post about it in April, I didn’t do it til September.  When I did my nails, I remembered the pattern she used but not the color.  I didn’t realize til later that I used a similar color :P Anyway, here’s how mine turned out.

I used China Glaze Flyin High as my base color, China Glaze IX (a dark brown creme), konad plate m9 and small silver rhinestones.  And here's our picture from konad night.

China Glaze Recycle

Hello everyone! I'm finally back with another post :) I'm still trying to catch up so this one is a few months old.  I thought I was done posting the pictures from August but I found one more.  I used China Glaze Recycle as my base color and the flower from konad plate m60.  I also added silver rhinestones to the flowers.  I didn't realize how uneven my application was until I took this picture in sunlight.  And of course, our picture from konad night :)

Light as Air + Grape Pop

Last week I forgot to post a picture from our Konad night. Going clockwise, mine is at the top, Clare's (Konad), Sha's (freehand using nails polish), and Stef's (freehand using acrylic paint).

I still have some pictures I never posted so I'm probably going to just keep posting them in the order that I did them.  But if I participate in a challenge or do something related to the holidays I'll post them up right away.  Anyway, here's one I did in August.  I used China Glaze Light as Air as my base color, China Glaze Grape Pop for stamping and Konad image plate m78.  I really liked the way this one turned out but it's probably because purple is my favorite color! :) 

Here's our picture from Konad night. Going clockwise after my nail is Jess, Clare, Ria and Sha.  

That's all for now.  Hopefully in my next post I'll have some type of Halloween design on my nails :)

China Glaze Liquid Leather

The other week I joined Thriszha and Mae's black and white challenge.  This was my entry for the challenge.  I used China Glaze Liquid Leather, konad image plate m57, and white stamping polish.  I wanted each nail to look different so I stamped the flowers one at a time and randomly placed them on my nails.  

As usual, this is just a quick post to say hello and update since my last post was about two weeks ago :)

China Glaze Jitterbug

I didn't get to blog last week.  School's keeping me busy.  It's only been a month since the semester started but I already feel like I need a break.  I miss summer! :P Anyway, back in August I went to Vegas for a few days for my cousin's bachelorette party.  I wanted something that would match most of my outfits, which were mostly black, so I chose China Glaze Jitterbug.  I used a full nail design from plate m60 with black stamping polish.  I know it looks like I messed up on my middle finger but I actually messed up on my pinkie.  I started stamping at my thumb and tried to alternate the direction of the design but forgot to turn the image around when I got to my pinkie.  I didn't even realize it til a few days after I took the picture.

 

The picture below is from our second Konad night.  Not all the girls were able to go but the 3 of us still wanted to do our nails.  I haven't been taking note of the nail polishes they used.  Maybe I should start doing that.  But I'm not sure how accurate the colors look in the picture.  My sister, Sha, used her cell to take the picture because it has this auto and touch focus so it turned out better than the picture I took with my digital camera.

Okay, back to homework ...
