OPI Extravagance

I feel like its been sooo long since I've last signed on to blogger! I started student teaching and I'm taking two classes so I haven't been able to blog or read other blogs.  I haven't even been able to do konad night with my friends :( I just do them whenever I can. Anyway, I'm still really behind and have pictures from last year!  This one is from October.  My friend Ria had a Minnie Mouse themed party for her daughter's first birthday.  I used OPI Extravagance as my base color and used silver rhinestones to make Mickey's head.

I can't believe I didn't post this til now haha. The only good thing about being behind is that I still have pictures to show you even though I haven't had time to do my nails lately. You'll see them eventually :P

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.

Orly Prince Charming

Just a quick post on nails I did some time in September. Here's Orly Prince Charming stamped with flowers from konad plate m31 and China Glaze 2030.  I can't remember if we had konad night when I did this and I can't find a group picture of our nails either.  Anyway, that's all for now :)

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 :)

Cupcake theme party = cupcake nails

I can't believe I let a month go by without blogging :(  It's still the same story .. busy with school.  Anyway, I'm back with a quick post.  I'm so far behind, I'm just now sharing nails I did the first week of September.  A really good friend of mine had a cupcake theme party for her daughter's first birthday.  I didn't have the konad plate with the cupcakes on it so my sister decided to look up cupcake nail art.  Her favorite one was Rina's cupcake nails so she decided to go with that.  I thought they were super cute too so I did it also :)  It was our first time attempting to freehand so we just did accent nails.  Sha used China Glaze Light as Air and Spontaneous and I used China Glaze Something Sweet and Orly Prince Charming.  I felt like it was incomplete so I used my Sally Hansen nail art pen to draw some hearts.  Here are the pictures .. Sha's is on the left and mine is on the right.

That's all I have for now.  The semester is coming to an end so I have finals very soon which means I'm not sure if I'll be able to blog til mid December.  But I'll try to post something during one of my study breaks.  Wish me luck!

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 :)
