Dolphin manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you the manicure I'm going to wear for my beach holiday this week.
I started with a coat of Sinful Colors -Unicorn, which is the yellow and then I applied
the three colours using a sponge. The nail polishes used are Illamasqua -Gamma and
Miss Sporty -#60. I stamped the dolphin design from m27 Konad plate on my ring finger
and thumb and then filled in the shadows using black nail polish. I finished with a clear 
top coat.What do you think?

Cracked ice nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you a manicure I created using cracked ice. 
I applied a clear nail polish in the tips of my nails and then, using a wooden stick,
I picked up the small pieces and stuck them on it. Then, I applied another coat of
clear nail polish and stamped the design from m54 Konad plate with a black nail polish.
This is a local brand called CR which was about $1 and works great for stamping. 
I finished with a last coat of clear nail polish. What do you think?

I got the cracked ice online, from It's so Easy Nails. This website not only presents 
the company's products, but also is a place for all nail artists to share their creations 
using the products. It is quite inspiring, you should visit it.

Spangled Stars

Happy Fourth of July, my fellow Americans!  I struggle after a few years of themed patriotic nails to come up with designs, but after a few thoughts about new ways to do stars and stripes, this design idea came to me.  I wasn't sure it was going to work out, but I think it turned out great.  Hope everyone takes time to relax and enjoy our ability to relax and enjoy!



I painted first, two coats of China Glaze High Roller.  I then added Bundle Monster plate BM210 with Special Konad Stamping Polish in White.  I then topped with a coat of Seche Vite and waited for the manicure to dry.  Once dried, I applied star-shaped stickers randomly on my nails.  I then did a baee coat of China Glaze First Mate and then added a top coat of China Glaze Ride The Waves.  I peeled the stickers away and added one final coat of Seche Vite.
