Dukie Blue

Very Pic heavy. I'm NOT a Basketball fan. If I was I'd pick NC Tarheels-based on their team colors...I have a few more manicures I did on a friend, but I don't know when I'm getting those two posts up. I love this Klean color , color. So there's a before, and some after. I didn't even take pics of the left hand finished yet-won't be posting them on here, as well, I'm lazy-and this it too pic heavy as is. Hope you all enjoy.

OK , I lied....they're not cropped or anything, but here's four of the left!

Sorry I suck at formatting!

PIC Heavy!

About to watch the Walking Dead, and didn't want to write much. This is SEVERAL SUPER THIN coats, allowed to FULLY dry in between coats of : GEM Crush by Sally Hansen,  Be Jeweled 05. Sandwiched in between Nailene's Sensationail system. I got the red starter kit, and FELL IN LOVE! Did the red as instructed. Loved it for almost a full week (would have lasted 2-3 weeks) but I wanted a change. There was absolutly not one scratch ding chip NOTHING. Just glassy smoothness of a gorgeous red that I think would translate well on any skin tone (imo).Then I put a red glitter polish and topped quickly with red glitter acrylic, let dry smoothed out and topped with the topcoat and cured. GOOD TO GO! I promise not to NOT take pictures next time. And when I tell you they were ruby red slipper awesome...I'm kickin' myself for not takin' pics! Hope you enjoy the purple sparkly goodness to follow. Side Note: These pictures do not truly capture how gorgeous they are! And there were only 2 places that had tiny chips (did some housework today and hadn't capped the edges as well as I thought AND had filed......but it's over a week old still great stuff!)-which I filled but did not seal and cure prior to the pic, as I plan on doing my nails again tomorrow!

Told ya, pic heavy! :-) Hope you enjoyed, and it doesn't really show HOW super glossy it is and gorgeous in person, but I tried..... There's some blurry ones to show the sparkle! And the hubbs got in on the photography for me too! Thanks Babe, I love you!

Wet N Wild, Spoiled HELP!

I saw this color- checkin into rehab. I am so in love with it-but I can't seem to find it! I'm in NC near Jacksonville-has anyone seen the Spoiled collection........

Water Marbling.

December 8, 2011

Wow, I had some type of fun doing these! I used a water marbling techniques a friend of mine turned me on to.

I used white, a few different blues-I think 2, and a silver, all over a white base. 

Then after that was dry I topped it all off with a wonderful holo glitter-OMG I was in LOVE!

Can you blame me!?!?!?!? I wish there were more pictures, and I wish that I could have captured the beauty of this style, because these pictures are NOT doing them justice!  Hope you enjoy!

I tried

But didn't come close....

I saw nails very similar-but much better done in another lady's blog.

I wish I could give her credit...but I don't remember which blogger it was.

I'm telling you-her work was better, and her pictures were MUCH better! 

But this was my rendition. Not her standard-but still pretty darn good, I think!

A little smudgy here and there but  it'll do :-)

I enjoyed trying to do what she did-REALLY wishing I could link to hers....

Her's was super amazing! I think this was done in November or December of 2011.....

I have done my best....

Now to top it!

 LOL I'm not what you'd call a nail 'Guru' or anything like that. While I am creative-I am no artist....

I've seen nails on blogs and posts and the internet in general that make you cock your head to the side and say -WOW! Truly amazing works of art that will be removed and never replicated to that perfection again... 

To those who can make those amazing tiny works of art-My hat's off to you!

As you can see-these were done in December of 2011. My posting updates are just a 'tiny bit' late. I'm sorry the pictures aren't what you'd see from others, but they're the best I can do for now.

This is the best nail art I personally have done, and can't seem to come close again! :-) I have no clue what all I used either, so there is no how to list. Sorry for that, but any similar nail polishes and I'm sure you can get it. Hope you enjoyed!
