Purple Lace

I know I have been behind in posting. Rest assured, my nails have been polished ;) I just have been either busy or lazy. And this weekend I was totally caught up in baby birthdays and book reading. So I'm going to catch you up with the manicure that is currently on my hands. I'm patiently waiting for my three free Zoya polishes to come in the mail and I'm hoping that by wearing a color it will speed up this process.

I coated with three coats of Zoya Mimi and used Konad image disc m69 with China Glaze Millennium to create the lace look. I coated once with Seche Vite.

I Heart This Red

I didn't have much time to do a manicure last night and so I wanted to get something on my fingers that was simple, but likable. I haven't gotten around to post until today and after reviewing the pictures I took, I am just not sure they do this red justice. It is so, incredibly pretty. I just kept looking at my nails today and admiring the way that the light makes this polish shine like foil. Very, very pretty!

I painted three coats of Zoya Lisa on eight of my nails and China Glaze Cheers To You on my pointer fingers. I used Konad image disc m59 with Lisa and finished with a new top coat I tried CND Speedey (which I couldn't use on my pointer fingers because it made the image bleed--I don't think it is thick enough, so I used Seche Vite on the silver fingers)

Drive-by Butterflies

I've been seeing a ton of Monarchs here in MN.  So pretty.  In homage and because I got new clay decals from Sally's, here you go!

I used Essie Steel-ing The Scene.  So Easy Stripe Rite in Hot Blue and decals from Art Club Blue Denim.  Seche Vite was used for the top coat.

Inverted French Manicure

So I've done variations of the French manicure, the Reverse French manicure and the Ruffian manicure.  This is my "invention" (of course, I can only claim I had the idea in my mind without any influence--not that no one has done this before).

The pink color is China Glaze Sexy Silhouette and the silver tip is Essie Steel-ing The Scene.  I coated twice with Seche Vite top coat.

The Pretty Professional

Normally I get to wear a pretty relaxed style of dress, but today I had an important meeting and wanted to do something pretty yet professional.  I really like it!

I painted China Glaze Millennium for the silver and Something Sweet for the base pink color with Essie Cindy-Rella.  I coated it, finally, with Seche Vite.
