Bee Polished: feelin' blue

Roses are red, daisies are...

Today's Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge was large flowers. These flowers aren't LARGE persay but they're also not tiny so I think they count! I used Models Own Feelin' Blue as a base and then broke out the LA Nail Art striper brushes. I used pink, yellow, blue glitter, and red glitter to make the flowers, swirls and dots. It was fairly easy and it came out pretty cute!! They didn't last long though! I'm putting my clinic hours to good use and I have a lot of exciting things coming up for you guys when I graduate in a week! I can't wait! Thanks for following and enjoy!!

Sunday Stamping Mani: Under The Sea

anemone

It's time for another Sunday Stamping manicure! This week's challenge was: Under the Sea. I don't know about you, but all I can think of when I hear those words are The Little Mermaid. I loved that movie so much. In fact when I was a child I watched the VHS so many times my mother had to buy a replacement. That said, as much as I love The Little Mermaid, I don't love the idea of her on my nails. I like to do things that are a bit more abstract. Things that, while you can see the inspiration in, aren't so straightforward as: This is the ocean on my nails. So I perused the web a bit and found this picture:

I love the colors of this. The coral against the white and the clean bright blue background. I was all set to do this mani until I remembered the most important part of the challenge: you have to use a stamp. So I put my brushes away and set out looking through all my stamps to see what I could use to recreate this. As luck would have it, I actually DO have a stamp that's similar to this: BM-225. I used Models Own Feelin' Blue for the bright background and then stamped Konad White polish on. Last I used a dotting tool to dab on Barry M Coral on the tips. I liked the final result a lot. It looks a lot like the picture, but it also just looks like a cool pattern on my nails!
