31 Day Challenge - Day 14: flowers

Hi!

Superquick post!  Too long a day at work and I have dance tonigh-- must dash!
Just quickie post pics now and I will update with polish names and details later.  But there isn't much to be said. I went very minimalist for this challenge, giving myself just some 'Blackberry bling".**

**Urban Mani Dictionary - Blackberry bling: wherein you decorate only your thumb nails so they look cool while you're texting. ;-)

Sally Hansen Sealed With a Kiss

flower petals: Maybelline Pluto Pearl



flower center: Barry M Gold Glitter

31 Day Challenge - Day 12: stripes

This is sad, y'all.  Sad nail art.  My first use of stripping tape. =(


Barry M Magenta Glitter (over & under) Wet n Wild Black Creme

I have seen so many amazing stripping tape manis that... well this is just lame.

But I loved Barry M Magenta Glitter.  It's simply gorgeous. 

Carry on.

31 Day Challenge - Day 11: polka dots

Hello!

For today's challenge I went with a couple of untrieds-- among them my dotting tool. 
This was my first polka dot nail art, y'all.  ;-)



OPI Here Today, Aragon Tomorrow and Just Spotted The Lizard

NOTD: Red, white and oh-my!

Hi!  Happy 4th of July-- wherever you are! 
Me?  I'm on holiday in Florida!  Having BBQ and a beer (hopefully ;-) with my family,
so this post was previously plotted, for your enjoyment.

Today I have for you a "vintage" mani.  This is one of the first --if not *the very* first-- mani pic I took of myself.  The "accent nail" and the "multi mani" are all the rage now. But last year, in my circles, not so much.  People around me thought I was silly.

Behold - 4th of July mani, circa 2011:

Maybelline Acoustic Azure with Revlon Galaxy (navy/silver glitter)
Milani Red to Tango and Essie Blanc topped off with that mini,
no-name white glitter by Hot Looks! (which I'm holding)
