I figured I would blow this one off, because for the life of me I couldn't think of what polish to do. So I started this manicure and reached for a glitter polish I hadn't used before. I don't like this polish. I love chunky glitters, but this one, like many of them is a beast to get off the brush in a the right way. I tried to dumb some out and then place the glitters on individually, but I couldn't get them to pick up with my dotting tool. Curses!!<br />

The mustaches are water decals from <a href="http://www.bundlemonster.com/8-sheet-nail-art-tattoo-decoration-effects-water-transfer-decal-stickers-set.html?">Bundle Monster</a>. The first decal I put on went on at a bit of an angel, but I liked it, so I did it to all of them.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love the look of this, but I hated the staying power. . . or lack there of. It lasted two days before it started chipping. I don't know what it is with some neon polishes, but they chip like crazy on me and FD is a perfect example of that.</span><br />

But, when one wants to make sure one's Valentine Nail Art is published before/on Valentine's Day, one must blog when one is tired. I blame the two cups of black tea I drank to help the massive headache I woke up with. You know, really high energy leads to really low energy.<br />

So, this design is for the Nail Art Idea Linkup, which the prompt is Hearts. I realized, after the fact, that I have done something similar to <a href="http://nailtonailinterpretations.blogspot.com/2014/10/52-week-challege-two-color-gradient.html">this</a>. . . <a href="http://nailtonailinterpretations.blogspot.com/2013/02/stamping-enigma.html">twice</a>. I guess that is why red and black is such a classic combination. . .<br />

I don't know if you can tell it the pictures, but I can tell while I am typing how long my nails have gotten. I am using multi-vitamins and it is doing wonders for my nails! I wonder how long the length will last. . .<br />
<br />
Well, I hope you like the design!<br />

No, I don't. It is not really. . . my cup of tea. If you want to see or read it, more power to you. What is my "cup of tea," is the plethora of gray manicures that have become popular due to its eminent cinematic release (Now there is 100 dollar phrase if I ever saw one). I saw one released by OPI (Which I now can't find), and I thought, hey I could take that up a notch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Since I don't have the original design you can't see how took it up a notch, but trust me I did. The original design had all solid colors, but for my design I used <b>Betina B-07</b> to get the heart design.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6q9mkXyUikWI3fua_qyCDLuGBN3v4s6guWqGb7jmlRjE61CCHkQIJITmxw-sFstFAxJnXM7w9eByObAfoeOcq89sbrPdj6HRKi-4pDnz8sJk7HBMwxAi0ii2qviyb3w3mN7c3Vli1RToW/s1600/IMG_4008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6q9mkXyUikWI3fua_qyCDLuGBN3v4s6guWqGb7jmlRjE61CCHkQIJITmxw-sFstFAxJnXM7w9eByObAfoeOcq89sbrPdj6HRKi-4pDnz8sJk7HBMwxAi0ii2qviyb3w3mN7c3Vli1RToW/s1600/IMG_4008.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
I don't own the OPI colors, so I made use of what I had. The colors are, in no particular oder, <b>Julep Braiden</b>, <b>Sally Hansen Big Smoky Top Coat</b>, <b>Konad Special Black</b>, <b>China Glaze Concrete Catwalk</b>, <b>Elephant Walk</b>, <b>Merry Berry</b>, and <b>Pelican Gray</b>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR9LhA0jlzFo-JMD1-dsOTDr1o38CcN7aPmpMY23hAzsGhsOp2IXYqfPaSbdGR6lhd0LjkyoLtz9ltmnd835eN2B_OTLCjabfGHvrnjMa7C-NwjDos1UxpE_TheZye0Vmxjj6n6k1jTJPs/s1600/IMG_4004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR9LhA0jlzFo-JMD1-dsOTDr1o38CcN7aPmpMY23hAzsGhsOp2IXYqfPaSbdGR6lhd0LjkyoLtz9ltmnd835eN2B_OTLCjabfGHvrnjMa7C-NwjDos1UxpE_TheZye0Vmxjj6n6k1jTJPs/s1600/IMG_4004.JPG" height="295" width="320" /></a></div>
Julep Braiden is a matte texture polish, but it doesn't soak up top coat like other texture polishes do, so when I put a top coat on it the cool difference between it and the shiny red heart was no longer apparent, so I used <b>Essise Matte About You</b> to make it matte again and then put top coat only on the heart.<br />
<br />
I hope you like my <u>Fifty Shades of Gray</u> manicure. It is simple, but I love it anyways.<br />

I don't have much to say. I will try my best. I blame it on the rain, it has made me lazy today.<br />
<br />
There is a prompt by <a href="http://brijitsdigits.net/2015/02/01/nail-art-ideas-linkup-prompts-for-february-naillinkup/">Brijits Digits</a> for each week of February, so I thought I would try. Plus one week is skulls and I will use any excuse to do skull nail art. So this week is hot pink. Not my favorite color, but with Valentine's Day and all. Well, when in Rome.<br />

I tried to do something a bit more off kilter. I didn't want to be too typical,hence the green hearts. The polka dots aren't perfect, but I love how it breaks up the pink and makes it not quite so shocking.<br />

The polishes are <b>Finger Paints Lucky in Love Lime</b>, <b>Nina Ultra Pro French White</b>, <b>China Glaze Sugar High</b>, <b>Liquid Leather</b>, and <b>Konad Special White</b>. The stamping was done with <b>Bundle Monster</b> plate <b>BM-412</b>.<br />

Six! Squish! Uh uh, Cicero, Lipschitz!I have a co-worker and friend who <strike>loves</strike> is obsessed with Elvis Presley. She gave me a CD of her favorite Elvis song. I was looking at the list and when seeing Heartbreak Hotel and Jail Hose Rock, this design of a heart behind bars came to mind. But I was missing how that fit into a theme and when talking to my Mom, she brought up Cell Block Tango from Chicago. So I thought of blood splatter on my other nails.<br />
<br />

The colors I used were <b>Nina Ultra Pro French White</b>, <b>China Glaze Red Satin</b>, <b>Merry Berry</b>, <b>Concrete Catwalk</b>, and <b>Elephant Walk</b>. I tried to highlight and shadow a bit and mixed colors to get the light and dark.<br />
<br />

<br />
So the blood splatter nails. . . The first time I did them was with a Bundle Monster stamping plate and Konad Special Red. It didn't turn out. So I tried again trying to splatter it with a straw. Well, the straw didn't work at all. I think I needed to use a stir-stick straw, rather than the regular one I used. . . So I ended up dry brushing it on. I am still not happy with it, but I had no other ideas. Eh.<br />

The prompt for today is Pink and Black. I saw a design on Pintrest (Curse you Pintrest for sucking up my time!) by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/officialTweetiiSweetii/photos/pb.348605205259082.-2207520000.1422765578./349114218541514/?type=3&theater">@tweetiisweetii</a>. I did my own spin on it. I didn't feel like doing chevron, so I pulled out <b>Bundle Monster BM-604</b> instead.<br />

And then I thought of a rose design with vintage colors. That is how this manicure came to be.<br />

I've done <a href="http://nailtonailinterpretations.blogspot.com/2014/07/painting-roses-red.html">this design</a> before, but in reds. It was originally done by <a href="http://ink361.com/app/photo/ig-650351055302820615_9677047">@lovessweetas</a> and I am grateful for the inspiration.<br />

The colors are <b>China Glaze Chocodisiac</b>, <b>Julep Emerald City</b>, <b>Soleil</b>, <b>Florence</b>, and <b>Nell</b>. Then I used the <a href="http://www.julep.com/shop/plie-wand/plie-wand-nail-polishing-system.html">Julep Plié Wand</a> for the design work.<br />

I really like how these colors came together. The look is subtle and vintage. It also makes me want to try a yellow rose design. Hmmm. . . Maybe in the Spring. . .<br />

Recently I went through the ringer with them and they stepped up every time. First this polish, <b>Paula</b>. I hadn't had a chance to use it till the end of December and when I did I worked at getting the cap off for a half hour. Once I did I realized that a quarter of the polish had leaked into the overcap. I called them and they said they would send me a new one. I also mentioned that a gel eye liner of theirs had little white spots on it. The guy I spoke with said it was the product separating and it was still usable. However, if I didn't feel comfortable using it he understood and sent me a replacement polish and their eye liner pencil for free. I was floored, and ready to sing their praises. Before that package arrived I received my Maven ox tracking information and anxiously awaited both boxes' arrival. I wasn't able to be home when my Maven box was delivered, and it was a big one, so when I got home that night I was in an anticipation flutter and was left with an empty porch. I talked to my neighbors, mail carrier, and the post office and finally came to the conclusion it had been stolen. (I hope whoever did it likes nail polish and make-up) I called Julep to let them know and make sure that my change of address to a business was done correctly. Since they just sent me two free products, I was not expecting them to do anything and was resolved to that. After all, the box theft was not their fault. They did not even seem to bat an eye and completely replaced my Maven box, including the free gift for purchasing three add-ons! They have a customer for life! As long as I can financially afford to do it. . . On with the manicure!<br />

Yeah, the Holidays took over a bit and now I am adjusting to being back at work. I have been doing designs, just not blogging them. . . So, that is what I am trying to do now.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXORkS8aP5aiZHcnF0iH_lkk3ldXbFUwLUSXwP44XOeFPjtqp00bLQT0ZShk_Xhsi9RhoZa_w0h0VDJrUxw6Fm4EByaeQK5H20uuDL-cId9h_zSJRSEFUcAhYHikcaxH37BHAtnKoHi4QK/s1600/IMG_3973.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXORkS8aP5aiZHcnF0iH_lkk3ldXbFUwLUSXwP44XOeFPjtqp00bLQT0ZShk_Xhsi9RhoZa_w0h0VDJrUxw6Fm4EByaeQK5H20uuDL-cId9h_zSJRSEFUcAhYHikcaxH37BHAtnKoHi4QK/s1600/IMG_3973.JPG" height="300" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
So I have been a bit tired. My mood and the polish <b>Butter London Knackered</b> inspired this design. It is simple, again with the being tired, but look at those colors. I wasn't really sure how to use Knackered, but I saw someone put it over black, <b>China Glaze Liquid Leather</b>, and its brilliance shinned! Look at those colors! It such a great duo chrome.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgsM8b8RKRGjmus_J5solVXwC7nSYNkMn_OnjZlhfBvZJ0tSCS_5gR9ufMjrISDq5RmkS3fZyMSM1OUe9oFN0SGWsjH0IgRDSNFVZzT9lUyQlKqO1Zf0iaR9tmAB5jP4SfjAcyCm4AQSHZ/s1600/IMG_3971.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgsM8b8RKRGjmus_J5solVXwC7nSYNkMn_OnjZlhfBvZJ0tSCS_5gR9ufMjrISDq5RmkS3fZyMSM1OUe9oFN0SGWsjH0IgRDSNFVZzT9lUyQlKqO1Zf0iaR9tmAB5jP4SfjAcyCm4AQSHZ/s1600/IMG_3971.JPG" height="320" width="261" /></a></div>
<br />
Then to round out the whole tired theme we have <b>Bundle Monster </b>stamping using <b>BM-605</b>. I loved dream catchers when I was younger and this just made me feel young every time I looked at my hands.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgokTL9qIjoX__v6AjC2huyoPv4wcW3LBnjY7aeBHV8aVdG7HefAEnfOydHejTF7XLBHXzh1MAJhYyv6s0nyFI73fUzx_em-GyhYqw53ehDWi7LGLv1Uwln34rcOnBaHuksUQNngP4DR8T_/s1600/IMG_3969.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgokTL9qIjoX__v6AjC2huyoPv4wcW3LBnjY7aeBHV8aVdG7HefAEnfOydHejTF7XLBHXzh1MAJhYyv6s0nyFI73fUzx_em-GyhYqw53ehDWi7LGLv1Uwln34rcOnBaHuksUQNngP4DR8T_/s1600/IMG_3969.JPG" height="320" width="219" /></a></div>
<br />
The name Knackered also made me happy. My closest and dearest friend lived in Scotland and England for a few years. She taught me the word and when I bought the polish it was with her in mind. Plus, just look at it! Doesn't look like a dream. Gosh this is a pretty polish!<br />
<br />

That never fails to bring a smile to my face! So with this prompt I knew the perfect stamping plate to use! I have been looking for an excuse to use my <b>BBF Stamping Plate BBF 16</b>.<br />

This could almost be a sugar plum fairies manicure. I am not completely happy with the stamping quality, but I am not sure if it is me or the plate.<br />

So, when I did some inspiration hunting and found <a href="http://www.rockyournails.org/home/12docc-christmas-song">this design</a> by Mely of Rock Your Nails I thought was great for the prompt, now I realize it is not, but there is no time to go back. . .<br />

I am really proud of this. I am not happy with the painted on silver stars. If I ever did it again, I would skip that part. But still, this is rather cool if I do say so myself.<br />

The prompt for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/500086953444794/">Challenge Your Nail Art's</a> 12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge is Santa Clause or Elves. I decided to re-create the first nail art design I ever did which was a design by <a href="http://youtu.be/dSI-2mFIiEM?list=PLrxrAcmX0sd7lMlOSEwhP_djPLAQ7_dFX">Cutepolish</a>.<br />

It is a rather simple design that anyone can do, so if you are thinking about taking the nail art plunge, give a try. You know you want to. All the cool kids are doing it!<br />

You know, the time when I post a nail art design with a theme selected by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/500086953444794/">Challenge Your Nail Art</a> for their 12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge. What is today's theme you ask? Snowmen! Yes, men made of snow. . .<br />

This design was inspired by <a href="http://youtu.be/dRFyUgRram8?list=UUuNNyE1AYuRs5TDLfBmBz6A">Janelle from Ellendish // Janelle</a>. I think I have said before that I love her!<br />

The polishes I used were <b>Julep Dana</b>, <b>Finger Paints Orange You In Love?</b>, <b>China Glaze Hey Sailor</b>, <b>Liquid Leather</b>, and <b>The Outer Edge</b>. Then I topped everything with <b>Essie Matte About You</b>.<br />

<br />
I love TOE! It is such a cool glitter! I don't have anything like it and I have never seen another polish like it either. You really should get some. . . I also love Dana, however its awesomeness does not come across it the pictures. It has this subtle blue shimmer that makes the polish glow on the nail. It is gorgeous!<br />

<br />
I wasn't sure if I would like the design as it was intended, matte, so I snapped a couple of shots before I put on the matte tap coat. I actually prefer the matte. It makes the design softer.<br />

Using the <a href="http://www.julep.com/shop/plie-wand/plie-wand-nail-polishing-system.html">Julep Plié Wand</a> I painted the trees with <b>Julep Emerald City</b>, <b>Sephora by OPI Read My Palm</b>,<b> </b>and <b>China Glaze Holly-Day</b>.

Well, maybe more than a dollar short, but that is not applicable to this post.<br />
<br />
So the first day of the<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/500086953444794/"> Challenge Your Nail Art</a> 12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge was yesterday. This week is going to be a bit crazy as I have a performance to prepare for on Friday. I have the first three days done, but actually blogging has been a bit of a time challenge. Okay, I guess I just better get on with it then.<br />

The design concept came from something I saw on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/143904150569097084/">pintrest</a>, but like many of these popular nail art designs, finding the original is near impossible. I hate not being able to find the original, so if you know, please let me know. I want to give credit where credit is due.<br />

I really like the colors. They aren't the typical snowflake color scheme. Plus DLA is one of my favorite whites! I know it isn't visible it the pictures, but it has got a gorgeous and subtle shimmer to it.<br />

Not only is it had do their nails because they have small nails and are wiggly, but they are also very particular, well at least <a href="http://nailtonailinterpretations.blogspot.com/2013/05/pretty-little-penguins.html">Sue</a> is.<br />

I used Julep's <a href="http://www.julep.com/shop/plie-wand/plie-wand-nail-polishing-system.html">Plié Wand</a> to create the stripes. It took forever for her to pick a stamping design. I tried to to limit the number of plates and she didn't want any of them. Finally I got out of her that she would like a butterfly and I showed her <b>Betina B-10</b> that had two butterflies to choose from on it and she picked that one.<br />

It is also difficult to snap pictures of nail art on a five year old, hence the funny pictures. The design lasted a couple of days, but she loved it, so that is all that really matters.<br />

My winning design was my <a href="http://nailtonailinterpretations.blogspot.com/2014/10/cool-happinin-ghosts.html">ghost manicure</a>. (Dude, that is a lot of links) With the Holidays in full swing I haven't had a chance to really do much with them, but I did do this one before Thanksgiving and had not blogged it yet.<br />

At first I did brownish-orange polish (OPI Schnapps Out Of It) and then dotted on a neutral polish around the cuticles to give the illusion of a pie shell. I didn't love it. I decided I wanted to re-do it, thinking I just didn't like the way I did the shell. I wanted it more rounded. Then I thought of the Ruffian manicure. I have never done one and thought this might be just the occasion to do so. So using Pumpkin Pie colors I came up with this.<br />

When I first did it I was amazed with myself and then after wearing it a few days I wasn't so sure. Now, looking back at the pictures, I like it again. I think with this color combo and the neutral being close to the cuticle it makes for some weird everyday nail art, but seeing it in pictures, I am really happy with it.<br />

I used <b>Julep Zoe </b>and <b>Florence</b>. I used the <a href="http://www.julep.com/shop/plie-wand/plie-wand-nail-polishing-system.html">Julep Plié Wand</a> and that gave me so much more control with the polish. There wasn't even much difference between my left and right hands. Have I told you before how much I love my Plié Wand? The last picture is in the shade for reference.<br />

I really love how this came out. Unfortunately the pictures aren't as well lit due to the short fall days. I came home from work did the nail art and couldn't find direct sunlight to take the pictures in.<br />

So this was done by hand with Julep's thin nail art brush for the <a href="http://www.julep.com/shop/plie-wand/plie-wand-nail-polishing-system.html">Plié Wand</a>. The colors are <b>OPI Thanks So Muchness</b>, <b>China Glaze Kalahari Kiss</b>, and <b>Desert Sun</b>. Then I used a <b>Essie Matte About You</b> over the pie crust stripes to give it a more realistic contrast from the "pie filling."<br />

<b>Orly Decades of Dysfunction </b>is one of my absolute favorite polishes. I have used it before with gold stamping and I am still a fan.<br />

I used <b>Nicole by O.P.I. On a Gilt Trip</b> for the stamping. I got the polish in a Ipsy bag. The polish nice, but nothing overly astounding. The designs are <b>MASH M60 </b>and <b>Winstonia W109</b>.<br />
