Ladybugs :)

Here I go combining 2 challenges again :) PAA Monday challenge is polka dots and ASBMF day 2 challenge is Lady bugs. So i figured these two were easiest enough to combine as ladybugs have polka dots he he.

So since I didn't want the lady guys to totally overrun the manicure I only did them on my thumb and ring finger for accent but did polka dots on the others as well.

For the base I used 2 coats of China Glaze Vertical rush. I then used Orly Liquid Vinyl for the french tips, art club black stripper for the lady bug lines and a dotting tool for the dots. I used Billie French White for the eyes with the dotting tool also. I then did a layer of my SF 35 topcoat as I love the holoness, I'm kinda addicted to it he he.

My husband thinks that this is the best quality Ive done yet. That the "bring red" is just amazing. He he don't you love the way men describe things?

I love how well you can see the SF topcoat in these pictures. For once my camera actually captured it well. I cant remember the last time I painted all my nails red, but I must say I am liking it. And  the lady bugs are sooo fitting for spring :)

Now if you want to see more amazing manicure from the ASBMF challenge, head on over to the other lovely ladies blogs :)

Alice in Wonderland and Snow White

Today PAA challenge was Alice in Wonderland.... However last night when I was doing my nails for some reason I thought it was Snow White. So after completing the Snow White hand and realizing this I decided to do one hand Snow White and the other Alice in Wonderland and just tie them into each other. I think it actually worked really well and loved the way it turned out. I actually had a girl that came into my work today take pictures of them :)

I used my OPI Ballet Collection french manicure as the base to both hands :)

First of the Alice in Wonderland. The blue lines are to represent the blue bow in her hair, and the bow its self is on the thumb. Then I decided to do the cherish cat on the ring finger. He turned out more evil looking then what I intended :)

And the Snow White, I used the same bow idea but red instead since that's what she wears, and then decided to do the classic poison apple on the ring finger. I love the way my apple turned out :)

PAA / PCFC Butterflys and PCFC Spring Stripes

So today I did 2 challenges in one. Yesterday the PCFC was butterflies as well as today's in PAA. And tomorrow PCFC is spring stripes. So I decided to combine the two into one cute spring manicure :)

For the spring stripes I used Julep Blake, China Glaze Kinetic Candy, China Glaze Sweet Hook and Orly Cotton Candy. I think they worked really well together. All are a pastel cream and they took 2 coats two create this look. I then did a layer of my SF-35 topcoat on it for a bit of shimmer.

I then used my Art Club Black striper, and my White Stripe Rite to create the butterfly on the thumb and ring finger. I decided to only do it on 2 nails so that you can see the full stripes on the other 2 nails.

I really like the way the stripes  look as the butterfly wings, and cant believe how easy these wings were to create. I'm totally in love with them :)

PAA: Sun, moon and stars mani

So this mondays Polish-aholic Anonymous manicure theme is Sun, moon and stars. I decided to take a little bit of a differnt approach on this. First ill show you a picture :)

Okay so the thumb and pinky are the sun, i thought yellow-orange-red color is kinda like a sun :)

The ring and pointer figers are obviously my stars :)

And the middle is what i think the moons surface would look like with the sun reflecting off of it :)

Now as soon as i fingished this I took it off haha, shows you how much I like it ;)
