Brush Strokes & Studs !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

It's finally Friday. I'm finally home. Oops, it's not Friday .... It's Thursday but it feels like Friday. Just because there will be three, yes, three weekend days .... Yeyyy!!!! Tomorrow is May Day - International Workers' Day  so I'm going to have one more day to relax and have fun with my daughter. So why not to cheer myself up with a quick post tonight? There's only one thng to be sorry for - there was no sign of the sun when I took these photos few days ago and the gorgeous holo effect is almost invisible...

Forgive me. And enjoy your Thursday night.

Draft Series:Gold in the Water !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

You know frogs love water. As one true frog I do too. As one true Red Frog I've found a very water-y mani in my draft box. I've made it about an year ago / good G, this one seems to have a birthday party /. No one can say why I haven't posted it till now .... Probably I'm one of those lazy frogs around. The polishes I've used deserve to be shown more often - these guys look so stunning together. 
Now jump in my froggy little lake and enjoy.

Spring flowers for #NAILlinkup !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

How sunny and bright is the weather outside this morning.... This  is my favorite time of the year. Everything is so fresh and the new beginning is almost visible. Yes, spring is the season for all things new. Your Red Frog is looking around to find new interesting ways to satisfy her inner hunger for nail art.

#NAILlinkup is here today with the next spring theme - Spring Flowers. I'm really pleased with my flowers - an easy and fun design suitable for all nail lenghts. I'm thinking about a re-do in some sunny yellow, orange and bright red colors.... We'll see.

Hope you'll enjoy.

Draft Series:It's a Mosquito !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

Draft Series on the blog. Again. I'm wondering when I'll be able to finish with them .... My draft box is still as full as it was back in the beginning. No matter how often I post here there are always aroud 20-30 drafts waiting to be shown here. Maybe these series will end with the last rounded nails mani I have in my draft box. There're still few of them so no worries - the end isn't here. 

Today I have a bit odd one - my so called Mosquito. I was really excited when I've made it. It looked relly funny at the sketches but turned out bigger than I've wanted. But at least here size doesn't matter - my Mosquito is/was/ a really cute type of an insect. Hope you enjoy.

Destressed and Negative !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

How was your Monday? Hope it was better than mine....

Sometimes I just need a second start of the week to make all things right. But No. Sometimes there's no second chance - when it's done, it's done.

So glad nail polishing is not going that way. You can always add some extra stuff to make the messy design better. That's how it happened this time. My attempt to make a simple negative space mani with a touch of blue turned into this not so bad looking mess you're seeing at the photos bellow. Sometimes it's good to have a second chance ....

Enjoy.

First Date with MoYou !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

My stamping skills suck.

Really bad.

Shaky hands. Slow moves. Too much pressure. Wait .... Let's start with the base color first. I've always wanted a mustard color in my polish collection. Really really want one. I've looked at tons of swatches around the web but still no mustard for me - except the one in my fridge. That's not good. At all. So I've made myself one. Yeah, your Red Frog did some franken-mixing and is pretty satisfied with the result. Ok, it's not the perfect mustard yellow shade I can imagine but it's closer. And the most amazing thing is my franken mustard came up very opaque - almost a one coater. Applause please.

 Now back to the stamping. My firts MoYou plate has arrived while ago and it's stunning - #11 from the Artist Collection. It makes me want to stamp everything around me not only my nails -

The Artist Plate Collection #11

So that's it - no matter how dizzy my stamping look like the design is Awesome! I'll definitely try on and on till it comes out perfect. And I'll definitely need more plates like this.

Draft Series:Two Of Us !!!!

Hello, my lovelies ....

Hope you feel fine and relaxed after the long holiday weekend. I've really enjoyed these sunny days with my family. It's good to be home with mom and dad. Even at 33 I'm still feeling like a little girl around them .... It's good to be home with your kid - I've really needed to spend some extra free time with my little daughter. Those very special weekend days reminded me about this special DraftSeries post. I've made this mani exactly one year ago - at my parents house, with my little princess. Both of us - me and the little tadpole - were polished almost exactly the same. Sweet precious moments .... Me and Aya.

Maybe someday I'll sit and look at those photos with her little daughter next to me .... who knows.
