Satin Flowers

Inspired by a recent four year anniversary, I wanted a way to pay homage to the traditional gift of satin or flowers.  I really loved how this manicure turned out.  It was fun to use several colors on the disc and get a variety of mixes of flower colors.

I painted three coats of Orly Au Champagne and used Konad Special Stamping Polish color in Psyche Pink, Pastel Violet, Apple Green, Yellow, Coral Blue and with Bundle Monster Plate BM224.  I finished the look with a coat of Seche Vite.

Subtle Is My Middle Name

I went through a phase a few weeks back that was all about subtle designs.  In interest of time, I'm grouping these manicures together.

Lavender Lowdown:

Three coats of China Glaze Sweet Hook and a side swipe of Orly Shining Star.  Seche Vite was the top coat.

Hot Flakes:

This manicure is a straight layer job.  I added Finger Paints Asylum over three coats of China Glaze Pink Voltage.  I then added one coat of Seche Vite.

Red Dot:

I painted a base of three coats China Glaze Hey Sailor and dotted the design with China Glaze Riveting, Zoya Sarah and Zoya Allegra.  Seche Vite was the top coat.

Pink and Black Ruffian Moon French

I saw this design for nail stickers/decals and figured it would be easy enough to do myself.  I liked the results.

I painted a base three coats of Zoya Gilda and added, freehand, Zoya Cynthia.  Seche Vite was my top coat.

Studded

Imperfections make perfect.  Even if every glitter hex did not make it in a perfect line, this manicure was really fun to have on.  The glitter really took it's intended page on center stage.

I painted three coats of Orly Rock-It and I used Silver hex glitter from Esther's Nail Center.  Two coats of Seche Vite was the top coat.

Red Orange Mix

Seemingly contrasting, really came together as a nice compliment.  Plus, I love both of these colors, so I knew it could only mean right.  The third picture gives a more true to life idea of the orange color.

I used Zoya Isla and OPI A Roll In The Hague for this look.  Both with three coats.  Seche Vite was my top coat.

I Pledge Allegiance

It's Memorial Day here again in the states and I am continuing on with my tradition of doing a patriotic manicure in honor of those who fought to serve our country.

On the bottom nail bed I painted a base coat of two coats if China Glaze First Mate and then added Yofi glitter in  Caribbean Crush.  I added two coats to the top of my nail in Orly Au Champagne and striped, with a brush, Zoya Sarah for the flag's stripe design.  I used Konad Special Stamping Polish in White and Bundle Monster plate   BM14 for the stars.  I finished with two coats of Seche Vite for the top coat.

String Of Pearls

This manicure was inspired by an upcoming trip to the bead store.  It's one of those manicures that I am surprised that I hadn't done before and really like now that it's on my fingers.  The vision in my mind coming to life on the nail.  That's always gratifying.

I painted three coats of Zoya Jolene for the base pink color.  The pearl beads are made from a mix of China Glaze White On White and Orly Au Champagne and use of a dotting tool.  I added silver detail with China Glaze Icicle.  I painted Seche Vite for the top coat.
