I haven't forgotten about doing cartoon nail art, just after the 31 day challenge (which I still really haven't "finished") I've been kind of burned out on cartoons. The Berenstain Bears are well known children's books that are full of moral lessons. From left to right : Sister Bear, Mama Bear, Papa Bear, & Brother BearThe base polish is Sation Board Girl Blue, with all details done with acrylic paint...

My freehand giraffe print tutorial is one of my most popular posts (you can find it on the right toolbar). I think it may be my favorite animal print. The base polish here is Zoya Dea. I stamped using Essie Good as Gold and Bundle Monster BM 313.Jeez I should have wiped that bottle off. You could steal my fingerprints and commit a crime with that sample I've given you... &nbs...

Here is a great way I tried out two new polishes and a new image from Bundle Monster.The image plate I used here is BM322The base polish is Sinful Colors Rain Storm. I love blues and this is a gorgeous deep navy. It also could have been opaque with just one careful coat! (Here I did 2 for the heck of it)Essie Blue Rhapsody is from the Mirror Metallics collection and my Wal-Mart had them marked down to $3/each! So I picked up this blue one and the...

These are some fun bright studs you could incorporate into a nail art look. They are 2mm in diameter. Hot pink color. Here I just used them in a spaced out pattern. The base polish is theBalm Mellow Yellow. You get PLENTY in the little bag that they come in.I just stuck them on while my topcoat was wet.They provide a lot of texture because they have a bit of height to them.These studs can be bought here for $4.84. You can do lots of different...

These polishes were sent to me for review. They can be found here for $6.93 for the entire set of 5.On a sad note, my red bottle came broken. :( It has a chip out of the edge, so the entire contents were dried up. It didn't appear to happen in shipping because there was no polish that leaked out on the other bottles. :( No amount of thinner could have restored this...Here is how the bottle compares to a regular 14mL bottle of Seche Vite.Here's how...

I was pretty stoked to receive this item for review. And it's such a simple thing to be happy about, but whatever. ;) It can be found here for $2.25. It's quite small and you can see here how it compares to the size of a 14mL Seche Vite bottle.So what do you use it for? (Thanks to Puja & Tinka for the name) It's a dappen dish used somehow when doing acrylics..... but I don't do acrylics.....So I use it when I'm cleaning up with an...
My first ever Glitter Gal! Therese from Beautometry gave me this as a present for hosting her Glitter Gal giveaway. This polish is sheer on it's own, so here I layered 2 coats over black. Duochromes are so much fun. I made a gif to hopefully show the color shifts. Purple to gold to green. Those were the main shades I could pick up with my camera. I wish more of the colors showed up on the nail like how the bottle looks. The bottle shows some...

This is the Forever21 version of Icing After Party. It can be found here for $2.80. I don't own any of the other "shredded" type glitter polishes so I jumped to try this one out.Pictured is two coats over Barielle Expressive.What do you think? do you like shredded? Or are these type of glitters too messy looking to y...
A different kind of awareness inspired this manicure. The jigsaw puzzle pattern on Bundle Monster BM313. It reminded me of the Autism Awareness ribbons. So I combined primary colors and this stamp to get the following manicure.I painted my nails white then added dots of the following polishes: Sally Hansen Insta Dri Rapid Red, Lightening, ChG Electric Beat & Ride the Waves. Then I stamped the BM 313 image using Konad Special bla...

When I received the newest set of Bundle Monster plates, I knew I wanted to do this right away. I started with a base of OPI Skull & Glossbones. Then I stamped using the image plates BM311 & BM323. The stamping polishes I used: Konad Special Black & Nail Art Diva RedSome of the lettering smudged with my topcoat application, but it kind of adds to the effect of ink and writi...
