Half Moons and Hearts

Today I went over to my friend Kathleen's house and did her nails.  It was so nice to visit with her.  I don't see her often enough and it was great to catch up a bit.  She didn't know what she wanted on her nails, so I decided to use her for the challenge.  The only problem is that after I did it I looked at the rules and it says I had to use my nails and I forgot to take a picture with a sign.  Oh, well.  I will continue to do the challenges, I just won't be eligible for the prize.  It isn't a big deal, I just wanted an opportunity to have a little direction in my designs.

So this is what I came up with for Kathleen's nails.  She wanted something soft and feminine.  She really didn't care for my last manicure with the black and red.  So I decided to do the top of a heart in her half moon and the full heart on an accent nail.  I am not sure about the "lace" dots, but I am still happy with it.

I used China Glaze Kinetic Candy, Wet N' Wild French White Cremè, and Essie Need A Vacation.  I don't know why NAV has been unused for so long.  It is such a lovely, creamy pink.

I know the pictures aren't my best, but it was hard to get the right lighting and they were about to start dinner.

Well. don't forget to look at the other artists!

31 Nail Art Challenge Take Two Day 12: Half Moons

I had a brilliant idea!  Yes sometimes I am smart, though rarely.  The Daily Nail does Moonicure Monday and she has designed bombs out of her half moon manicure.  I really liked the design and when I saw this prompt I thought about Christmas ornaments.  Heehee!  Brilliant, right?

So I used China Glaze Red Satin, Peace on Earth, and OPI Don't Talk Bach To Me.

I had a little trouble figuring out what color to use for the tops.  I wanted to use gold, but it didn't show up on the green background.  I think DTBTM was a good alternative.

We can't forget my thumb, now can we?

Indoors, just for referance.

Don't forget to check out everyone else too!  You'll be over the moon for their creations!

31 Nail Art Challenge Take Two Day 3: My Country

I live in the United States of America.  So I am supposed to do something that represents my country.  Well, I coped out and did something reminiscent of my flag.

I am not sure how I feel about this.  I used Essie Mezmerised and China Glaze White-On-White.  I also used some red glitter for the stripes.  I am thinking maybe I should have used a red polish and a silver glitter for stripes.

It was still fun to use loose glitter.  I was only my second time and I like the effect.  I got this and 17 other colors on ebay for like 3 dollars in case you are interested.

Other participants will be patriotic and you shouldn't miss it.

Tootles!
