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.

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 standard french manis.................

Standard french manis are not my favorite type, but in my opinion look best on shorter nails. Two nights

ago I ended up trimming mine down to little nubs, and decided to do this. I used to do standard french manis all the time, but ever since being on MUA, my world has been completely changed. I was just not fully aware of all the awesome colors, finishes and nail designs that were around. I'm so thankful for that too! Anyways, back to my mani, I used OPI's Bubble Bath for the base, and Sinful's Snow On Me White for the tips. I used my regular technique that can be seen HERE, to do my tips.
