Cold Swirls

Hello, Gorgeous! I hope you're doing well! Or, at least, better than I am... Nails first, then news!

It may be the season for turkeys and orange and brown and other fall-inspired colors, but I'm simply uninspired by it. So I looked for inspiration elsewhere, and found the snow, and the wind, and the ice that I had to battle for windshield territory this morning. Inspired by this tutorial, I decided to try a somewhat-skittle with different colors and a different "charm". 

On my left hand, I used three colors (not including the nude or the glitter)

On my right, I used five colors. What a difference, eh?

Also, my camera hates the nude color I used. Grrr.
I used a nude, unnamed Color Workshop from a few years ago as my nude. Over it, I sponged Kleancolor's Metallic White. Using tip guides, I created french manis using the unnamed Rue Beaute, Sinful Colors' Snow Me White, Zoya's Robyn, Finger Paint's Inkblot Blue, and Kleancolors' Metallic Blue. Then, using my medium striping brush, I created the swirls, using a small dotting tool, I created the dots, and then using Winstonia W120 stamping plate and Snow Me White, I created the snowflakes. Lovely!

So on to the news! I'm moving back to Vegas to go to school to do nails professionally! I. am. terrified! December and January are going to be suuuuper hectic, and I may or may not be able to make regular posts during that time. So just a heads-up, you may not hear from me for awhile. I'll be okay, though. I'm thinking I'm going to do what Nailed It, NZ did, and blog about school. We'll just have to see. Please bear with me during this transitional time!

Valentines Day Cheetah Nails

Happy Valentine's Day!! I have some GORGEOUS nails to show you!! I got inspiration from a dozen Pins, this one and this one, especially.

Watermark is back!



I LOVED wearing these, I was so sad to take them off. These have been my favorite so far, and I am extremely proud of them. I have been so excited to show you!

I did a french mani using NYC's Mother of Pearl St. and Sinful Colors' Snow Me White. I then took NYC's Broadway Burgundy, and freehanded tiny hearts. I then freehanded black blobs using Sinful Colors' Black on Black around the hearts to make the cheetah look.

On the accents, I stamped a zebra stripe and then covered half of the stripes in black. 
I'm not a fan of the accents, to be quite honest. I wanted to redo them, but simply never got around to it.
