Latticed Crystals and Wine nail art

Hey y'all!

Last week I showed you a distressed floral glitter nail art where I used OPI Thank Glogg It's Friday! in a distressed technique and I lamented that I needed to swatch it.  Rather than just do straight swatches on my lil shorties, I've decided to do you one better - I've done another nail art using it as a full nail lacquer, and added another new pretty that I just picked up and wanted to show you.  Unable to think of a name for this design, I opted to take inspiration from the polish names, so we have my lattice-work crystals and wine nail art.

Hey y'all!

As I mentioned last week, I was able to film a video for you about my basic manicure procedures, which include cuticle removal and filing.

Hey, Swatch It! Liquid Sky Lacquer Howling At The Moon

Hey y'all!

Happy Saturday!  With October just around the corner, a girl's heart may turn towards Halloween and all the kooky pleasures it brings - okay, *my* heart definitely does.  Last week I was cruising through some clearance polishes on Rainbow Connection UK, a stockist who carries lots of foreign indies, when this gorgeous polish jumped into my cart.

Following PINstructions: DIY Glamglow Inspired Mask

Hey y'all!

Today I'm posting what I hope will be the start of a fun new project, wherein I actually go through some of my Pinterest boards and try out all those fantastic recipes and hacks that I've pinned over the years. To inaugurate what I hope will become a regular series, I've chosen an awesome DIY mud mask, inspired by the Glamglow Supermud masks that became so wildly popular last year.  Also, this is a very pic-heavy post, so be warned, because we're about to start...

Distressed floral stamped glitter nail art

Hey y'all!

It's a weird time of year right now, weather-wise.  I really can't tell from one day to the next if I am going to need to put on socks and a sweater.  This transition into fall puts me into a weird mood, artistically.  I still feel like the weather is warm enough to wear bright summery colors, but I want to mute them out with more autumnal shades.  Today's nail art is one of those that doesn't really have any theme or direction - I just had some new polishes and started playing, and I think it pretty well captures this weird seasonal limbo.
