Blue and grey camouflage nails !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

Few months ago a great friend of mine made me a super cute gift  - two lighters both in a same pattern but in different color palette. Well knowing my obsession for matching my Djeep lighter with my mani Toni/ Thank you, dear!!!/   has thought these patterns would look nice on nails and here we go - me and the boys dressed in camo. Well, no Djeeps this time but who cares - it was such a delightful surprise! And if I can say to Djeep lighter designers - My dear friends, I think it's time for you to cheer up your fans with creating few camouflage patterns for our beloved lighters! Believe me they will become a great success.

 I've used the lightest and the darkest grey colors to create the mid toned one. Mixing colors at the time of free hand drawing probably will become a new passion for the nail art obsessed soul of mine.

Smooshy Tribal Nails - free hand nail art !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

In this early Friday morning with the sun rising outside it's time to show you one of the latest claws' outfits. It's been a while since my last free hand design but believe me the next one will be live soon. I'm feeling a great inspiration lately and *fingers crossed* to keep it longer.

I've found there's an effect called smooshy nails while ago and the obsessed by nail art part of me was excited to try it on. It's a funny and easy way to pimp up your nails with something as simple as a piece of plastic bag or just using your favorite stamper. 

*Put a base color on the nail plate - I've choose light grey creme

*Quickly add few drops of different colors here and there on your nail - few different shades of grey here

*Again quickly start pressing gently the plastic bag piece or the stamper over your nail until you get satisfied with the result - I've used the first plastic bag I've saw 

*Put a layer of topcoat and you're ready!

I'm so in love with this mani.... As I've finally found the perfect white acrylic paint that is amazingly opaque and pigmented now it's time to practice, practice, practice. The shaky hands don't bother me at all. I'm sure they will stay calm and will give the most straight lines if I give them the time to improve themselves. Than the claws will be satisfied... So, my precious hands - be good - more geometric free hand work is on it's way!

Used - 

China glaze Electrify - accent pinkie

Flormar FC32 Victory of Black - for the smooshy effect

L'Oreal Color Riche 604 Metropolitan - for the smooshy effect

Maybelline Colorama 288 - base color

white acrylic paint - for the tribal pattern

Summer Vacation Decoration with Born Pretty Store !!!!

Hello, my lovelies....

It's Sunday morning and there's nothing more lazy than me at the moment.... Well, probably few of you feel the same. My coffee cup is almost empty which means I have to go and add some more of the life-saving liquid in it. Just give me few minutes and we'll start.

What we have today? 

A little messy but so summer and fun nail art I've made using Born Pretty Store stamping plate BPL-022 and the reverse stamping technique to create some decals with these lovely sun glasses, umbrellas and sneakers. When I've saw them alive on the claws they just screamed - We want some sea water around! So here we go - sponge the tips with intense blue, spray some alcohol on the white and the waves are ready.

There are so many new plates at the stamping nail section and I'm sure you'll understand me if I say  - I want them all! The stamping obsession is something new for my already nail art obsessed mind but I don't even try to handle with it. I really enjoy it. It's just the way it is. So this geek patterns were one of the must haves. Who can resist them? Me? Definitely No. If you also can't here is a direct link. Just click and go -

 I've made a little trip through the store and found some really great stuff in the New Arrivals - I need those mirror powders and pigments more than anything! Seems like a new obsession is on its way home.... If you find your summer decoration at the store feel welcome to use the coupon code TM2X31 to save few bucks for a nice cold drink.
