Boy Scout Nail Art

Hey Lovelies! For today's look I decided to do some fun Boy Scout nails because my husband and his two older brothers are all Eagle Scouts and my mother-in-love is associated with the Boy Scouts of America! How awesome is that?!?! 

  For this look I started out with two coats of Essie's Brooch The Subject. Once that was dry I went in with Fresh Paint's Spruce Street and stamped the fleur de lis image on The Born Pretty Store plate BP-36.

Christmas Nails: Look #3 Water Marbling

Hey Lovelies! For my weekend mani I decided to do a Christmas water marble with red, green, white and glitter polish. I started out with 1 coat of Sweet Color's white polish in number 016. Once that was completely dry I made my water marble design with Fresh Paint's Spruce Street, Essie's Bold and Beautiful and OPI's Don't Touch My Tutu! You know a holiday mani isn't complete unless there is glitter, so I added 1 coat of China Glaze's Fairy Dust to top this look off.

Vintage Rose Tutorial

Hey Lovelies! I have had so many requests to do a tutorial on how I achieved my Pink and Red Vintage Rose look I did back in April. Check out my original Pink and Red Vintage Rose Nails for more pictures. 

Strawberries Anyone?

Hey Lovelies! I love strawberries so much that when I saw this pin on Pintrest the other night I just had to try and recreate it! This is such a cute and super simple design to do if you want to jazz up that plain manicure this summer or if you just love strawberries like me! First I started out with two coats of Pink Bunny by Jordana as my base color. Next I took my large dotting tool and made different sized upside down triangles on the outside corners of every nail with Wet n' Wilds I Red A Good Book. Once that was completely dry I took my smallest dotting tool and made little swipe marks in the red triangles with Sally Hansen Extreme Wear in Mellow Yellow. Finally with the same small dotting tool I made one line across the bottom of the triangle and then two smaller curved lines coming off the top of that line in Fresh Paint's Spruce Street. To finish off the look I sealed it in with my handy dandy Seche Vite top coat.

 Here is a little tutorial I put together so you can achieve this look at home! 

Hope you enjoyed this yummy look! Don't forget to enter my nail art contest that is going on till April 20th! Click HERE to enter. If you try this sweet look out feel free to post a picture on my Facebook page HERE. I would love to see how they turned out! Have a delicious Saturday!

Pink and Red Vintage Roses

Hey Lovelies! Ever since I started my blog I have always wanted to try this beautiful vintage rose design but I wasn't confident enough to try it until now! For this look I used two coats of Mint Candy Apple by Essie as my background color. Then I went in with a large dotting tool and made large random dots with Pink Bunny by Jordana. Once that was dry I went in with Wet n' Wild's I Red A Good Book and made the outlines to the rose. To finish the look off I used Fresh Paint's Spruce Street and made a few petals coming off the roses and then sealed in this look with my Seche Vite top coat. I am so happy with how this nail art came out! I cant wait to try it out in other color combos! Hope you all enjoyed this beautiful vintage rose design.

I then marbled with Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet, Mint Sprint and Fresh Paint's Spruce Street on my ring finger. I am loving having this water marble accent nail!
