A Vampy Vee!

Hey everyone!!  The week's almost over!  Hooray!

Since I went with something soft and simple yesterday, I decided to go with something a little saucier today!!

I started off with two coats of Revlon Stiletto, a super shiny black creme.

Next, I taped off the side sections of my nails, leaving a v-shape down the center, and applied one coat of OPI Simmer & Shimmer.

To add a little something extra, I used three of my dotting tools to create the center dot design, going from largest to smallest.

To complete the mani, I finished with one coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast.

I really like this one!  It's dark and kinda vampy, but fun and sparkly at the same time!!  I hope you enjoy!

Happy Painting!

Colors: Revlon Stiletto, OPI Simmer & Shimmer

Stars Over Plumeria

Welcome to another Pink Wednesday!  I recently got Revlon's Starry Pink as a gift, so I thought today would be a good day to give it a shot!  It's a very delicate, almost milky, pink with small silver glitter and silver hexagon glitter.

Isn't it pretty?!

Colors: Revlon Starry Pink, Ulta Devious, Confetti Get the Party Started, Kiss Silver Glitter

I decided to use my Red Angel plate RA-119 to create the plumeria (aka frangipani) flowers with Devious.  For the ring finger, I used Get the Party Started on the plate, with a little Devious on the edges of the flower petals.  I mean, come on, it's Pink Wednesday!!!  Then I used the Silver Glitter to stripe a little down the center of the flower petals.  I hope you enjoy this one!  I know I do!  Happy Pink Wednesday!!!!!

Santa's Reindeer!

Does anyone remember Hallmark's little reindeer plushies & figurines, Rodney the Reindeer?  

Isn't he the cutest?!  I adore him, so I thought I'd create a Rodney the Reindeer mani!!

Colors: Color Club Worth the Risque, Revlon Hot Chocolate, OPI DS Classic, OPI Alpine Snow, China Glaze Ruby Pumps, Sally Hansen Black Out

This was another easy and quick mani!  I used Worth the Risque for the backdrop color - it is such a beautiful holo!!  Then I used Hot Chocolate to create the reindeer heads in the half oval shape.  I used a thin detail brush with DS Classic to create the little antlers.  Finally, I used my dotting tools to create the reindeer noses and eyes.  See Rudolph in there too!?  

My little boys just love this mani!  It's fun and festive all at once!  I hope you enjoy it too!  Happy holiday painting!!!!

If I only had the nerve ...

Today's mani is inspired by The Cowardly Lion!!  I thought about how my little boys might draw a lion ... with a zigzag mane.  So that's what I did!!!  And The Corwardly Lion would not be complete without his medal for courage!!

Colors: Butter London All Hail the Queen, Revlon Hot for Chocolate, Ulta Plum Street, and Sally Hansen Celeb City

I used my zigzag scissors with my scotch tape for the lion's mane, and then used my tiny detail brush to create the medal!
