Feeling a tad girlie today

So every once in a while, I'll crave just a simple regular french mani. I really only like to do them when my nails are shorter, and then add a little something extra to make it fun. I had ordered some nail art items off of eBay, and when they came in, I just had to use the little bows! They are the perfect size IMO, and just make me feel so girly on this mani, but not over the top :) This is the mani, that left with me on my weekend getaway.

For this I used 2 coats of 10 - Pinky Promise, #415 for my base, and OPI Alpine Snow Matte for the tips.

This was pre bow :)

Here is what the nail art wheel looked like. I can't wait to use the pearls!!! Now, they are messy, and soooo dang staticy, that when you go to slide it open, it looks like little bee bee's are flying out. Grrrr, but I finally managed to get them all settled down. I might even end up switching them all out.

Gold & Green Funky French

So to take a break from the Water Marbling, I decided to show you a funky french I did last week. Oh and before we get to this mani..............I BROKE A NAIL!!! Grrrr, I slammed it in a car door :( It broke my middle finger nail, down far!!! I'm debating on putting a fake on, or ljust letting it be, and grow out. I don't know, this sucks!! Okay, whew, rant over, now on to the mani. For this I used the brand 10, color #415 for the base, Ulta Urban Jungle for the tips, and Claires 14 Karats for the Konad.

This is 2 coats of the base, 10, #415

Then with the Konad on :)

And the final mani :)



A Last Minute Holiday French....

Here is another Holiday mani I had done for a work party I had last week. I decided to do a classic french mani, but with just a smidge of Holiday fun. For my base I used my regular brand 10, color #415, and the tips were China Glaze White on White. I just LOVE these holiday lights water decals I purchased off of eBay, aren't they adorable!! Not that anyone could really see what it was from afar, lol, but hey, I knew they were there and cute :)

My Not So Practical Mani...That I am in Love with!!!!!!

I got these little nail thingy's at Sally's a while ago, and decided to bust them out tonight. I chose the butterfly to top off my funky french mani.
It might not be very practical, but I heart it sooo much! I used the brand 10 color #415 for the base and just my regular black for the tips.

This is the set that I bought

Just not feeling this mani....Oh well, Can't love them all.

I'm not sure why I don't like it, I kind of feel like it makes my nails look nubby. I used Wet n Wild's Nocturnal, OPI Catch Me In Your Net and 10's  #415, the pink base.
I started with the 415, than taped off my nail doing one side of the tip. After that dried, I did the other.

When it came time to do the OPI on my tips, I got kind of lazy and just cut the zig zag end of the tape off, and turned it, so the sides lined up with the Nocturnal tips.

Lace Funky French mani.......

Okay, I still have sooo many mani's waiting to be seen by you guys. I guess I do, do  a lot of manis, lol. I love this one though, and it just had to jump in line. I used the brancd 10, color #415 for the pinkish base, and Sinful's Black on Black for the Konad and the tips. I cannot stress how much Scotch tape is your friend for french manis.

I'm a punk rock prom queen. Brown paper magazine. Hotter than you've ever seen. Everywhere and in between ...

Even though I'm almost 30, EEKKK, I still love to listen to my Josie & the Pussycats soundtrack every so often. That movie, as dumb as it is, cracks me up!!!  Well, when I did this mani, for some reason that song popped into my head, maybe because the pink bow came in a pack called Punky Princess. I don't know.

I used a polish that has no name :( the brand is 10 though. Then I used Sinfuls Black on Black for the tips
The pink bow rhinestone thingy is a decal I got at Sally's

Here it is before the cute bow

Now with the cute little pink bow with rhinetsone. I love it, and just adds enough Ummph to this french.
