Rasta Mani

I wanted to do this mani for 2 reasons. First I love these colors together & second I love the technique that I used on all but my accent nail. I should have taken a picture of the actual action but didn't think about it at the time. I will just try to explain how I accomplished this look. You can use any brand of polish that you wish. I just put drops of green, yellow & red on the nail in random order. I then just used a medium nail art brush, dipped the tip in nail polish remover & swirled the polish around until I got the look I wanted. I did the same technique inside the peace sign. Cleaned up the cuticles & used Butter London top coat. 

Have you ever tried this technique? What colors did you use? How did it turn out. 

Thanks for visiting my blog. 

Much Love

Easter Mani

I hope everybody had a wonderful Easter Sunday. Sorry this is so late. I haven't felt well lately. Here is the mani I did for Easter. I used my Lime Crime polish for the base coats, painting each finger a different pastel color. I'm in love with the Lime Crime set. If it isn't in your collecting yet, What Are You Waiting For? ;) The formula is amazing & the color payoff is amazing! The rest of the mani was done using acrylic paints. Enjoy.

I WON!

Well, I did it! I won the Pure Ice Nail Art contest along with 9 other amazing nail artists. I was so surprised when I saw my name posted on the Facebook of Pure Ice Cosmetics. There were tons of amazing designs & I am so glad I wasn't the judge in this contest. There are 100 bottles of random Pure Ice nail polish on a UPS truck on it's way to me. Not sure what I am going to do with all of that polish. I guess I will share some & have my sweetheart build me another nail polish rack. Thank honey for volunteering. ;0)

The Picture with all the polish is from Pure Ice's FB & is all of the polish before they boxed it up to be shipped to the winners. Looks like polish heaven!

Montana Mani

Pure Ice Cosmetics is hosting a nail art design. The theme is your city/state. I'm from Montana and there are no professional sports team or famous landmarks here. So when I decided to enter this contest I had no idea what direction I was going to go. Its very beautiful & green here in the summer & very white in the winter. One of the best things about living in MT is that we have four seasons. I can't imagine not having a white Christmas. That would just be strange to me. So I decided to just go with our state flag, state bird, state animal and the four seasons.

Their are 10 winners to the contest & each will win 100 bottles of nail polish from Pure Ice! Yep 100 BOTTLES! Isn't that amazing. They are announcing the winners this morning after 9 am. So wish me luck. Here is the pics of my mani. If I'm a lucky winner, I will post pics of the 100 bottles of polishes but there are many great nail artists out there!
