Grey with Black tips

Gave myself a new manicure...I'm getting my nails done for the wedding on Friday, so I wanted to change things up one more time before then.  I love this grey color from China Glaze, called Recycle.  You can't even see the re-growth from my gel mani!

I then added a black tip using scotch tape and Sinful Colors Secret Admirer.

recording studio

This is my make-shift recording studio....isn't it fancy!!!  I was practicing for my sisters wedding (Ave Maria) and decided to do a little recording as well.  It works for what I use it for.  I am new to GarageBand, I used MixCraft on my Dell.  So far, I like MixCraft a little better, although I can hear my own voice through my headphones in GarageBand which is a huge winning point!

China and Sin over Gel

I came across a few thin paint brushes in my "craft bin", and I thought they would make good nail polish brushes...I was right!

I painted on top of my Gelish manicure.  I taped off half the nail and painted China Glaze For Audrey on 4 of my nails, and Sinful Colors Dream On, on my ring finger.  Then I used my thin paint brush to paint on the thin stripes (much easier on my left hand then my right).  Topped it all of with Seche Vite!

And a picture without the flash...so pretty :)

Pink Leopard Print

I am really loving the current state of my nails...the purple is really pretty, and the gel polish is looking very nice.  But, alas, I feel the need to add a little something...call it boredom....whatever :)

Here is my before picture, I got the gel nail polish 5 days ago.

I got a tip from another Konad stamper that you can mix your Konad polishes with other polishes to give you a larger variety without having to buy all the different Konad nail polishes....what a wonderful idea!   Now why didn't I think of that?

I used my silver Konad polish and mixed it with Sinful Colors Dream On.  I really like this Sinful Colors polish, and its pretty cheap, only $1.99.  It has the quality of OPI, and the price of Wet N Wild.

Add a blob of silver to the Konad plate, then add a blob of Dream On, mix together (I used a pointed Q-Tip to mix the colors).

I read about a roll on, roll off technique with the Konad stamper....it works a lot better than press on, press off!!!  See below...

All clean!!!  Add two coats of Seche Vite, and the look is complete!  Love the look!  Just what I wanted...a little touch of something pretty and different :) 

Picture without the camera flash, its really more of a pink color than purple.

New Gel Mani

I got a new gel mani today!  I really love this pale purple color I chose!  It's so pretty, and when I get lighter colors, its easier to paint over when I get sick of it in a few days.

I also got my toesies done....the color is pretty close....close enough anyway (I don't get gel polish on my toes...its a waste of money)

Fishnet and Glitter!!!

I had to change it up again....I am beginning to think I have nail polish issues LOL!

Anyhoo...how beautiful is this color be China Glaze!!!  I don't know the name of the color, the sticker on the bottom fell off.  It dries with a matte finish...really beautiful color, these pictures don't do the color justice!

I added a little shimmer (I've been dying to see what this glitter color looked like...its Full Spectrum by China Glaze.

I finished off with a black fishnet with my stamper.  It would be an understatement to say that this particular stamp was a pain in my ass.  You can see the many "not-so-perfect" spots.  I may end up fixing the nails that are truly crappy...but not tonight.

Seche Vite...the glossy finishing touch!  So loving the gel polish (yes I still have that pale pink underneath), it makes my polish stay on longer, and look how long my nails are!!! (This is pretty long for me)

Happy Mothers Day!!!

I have the worlds best Mommy!!!  

Happy Mother's Day to my Mommy and all the other Mommy's out there!!!
