Pink for winter? Why not!

2012-11-29T08:56:00.001-08:00

Saw OPI's Kiss me on my two lips in my helmer and decided I was in the mood for a hot pink! I know these shades are usually reserved for spring and summer, but I think there is no reason why they can't be pulled out in the winter to brighten things up!

Black, Gold, Sparkle, and Crackle Nails

2012-10-12T12:11:00.001-07:00

Looked through my Helmer last night for some inspiration and found this awesome group of golds and blacks and crackles, so I decided to create this unique manicure that just so happens to match my outfit today! How convenient!

Been loving this look lately! I'm wearing Essie Cantaloupe for the peachy pink nails and Zoya Wednesday for the teal ones. This was all freehanded with a teeny tiny brush!

Don't know what to tell you about this look today! It's just cray! I did lots of alternating with Zoya mod mattes from last summer: Mitzy, Phoebe, and Lolly.

Glitter Rainbow Gradient Zoya Nail Art

2012-08-09T13:28:00.001-07:00

Zoya makes the prettiest glitter polishes! When faced with these four gorgeous glitters I just couldn't choose one, I have done a skittle look with these before, so today I decided to do a gradient look instead! I went with The Beauty Department's gradient technique of painting all the colors on the sponge at once. I had to apply the gradient a couple of times to get the dark hue I was looking for.

Here is the tools I used (from left to right) cosmetic sponge for gradient, Zoya Alegra, Zoya Mimi, Zoya Charla, and Zoya Apple.

Check out the other rainbow gradient look and a tutorial

Zoya Ruffle Nails

2012-06-04T12:08:00.001-07:00

Inspired by the amazing Chalkboard Nails, I attempted a ruffle manicure using all Zoya shades of summer's past! From top to bottom you have Flora, Breezi, Malia, Raegan, Yummy, Perrie, Robin, and Areej. The teal on the bottom of some is by Color Club can't remember the name! This was easy to do using the big end of my dotting tool, but quite time consuming using all those colors. Would have liked the look more for Easter than just a regular summer day.

Neon Pink Wednesday!

2012-05-23T06:23:00.001-07:00

I love neon nubbins! Color of the day is Zoya Ali!

Happy Thursday, nail lovers! Today, a simple freehand manicure for you using Zoya Carey as my base color and China Glaze Flip Flop fantasy for accents.

NOTD: Zoya Zuza

2012-04-23T15:06:00.001-07:00

Rockin Zoya Zuza today! Got it for free from Zoyas Share the Love program. Not gonna lie, I had high expectations for this color and I'm only feeling meh about it. I'm kind of over so many new colors every season. I don't think it brings much uniqueness or creativity. What do you think?

Dipped in Glitter

2012-04-16T09:48:00.001-07:00

I'm obsessed with this teal from Color Club! I thought about leaving it plain but after watching Mizzchievious's latest nail art tutorial I decided to dip my tips in some glitter and take this look up a notch! :)

Gorgeous Pink Gradient

2012-04-13T05:31:00.001-07:00

Drupal Nails

2012-03-25T17:28:00.001-07:00

I just got back from Drupalcon in Denver and while I was there I had to rock some Drupal nails! In case you aren't in the know, Drupal is a content management tool that can be used to create awesome websites, it is what I work on everyday at my day job! While I was there I met another nail art girl from New York and we painted other Drupalchix nails to look like ours!

Happy Valentines Day!!!!

2012-02-14T13:53:00.001-08:00

Hope you all are having a lovely v-day! Thought I would share my v-day mani with you. I actually am wearing two looks today because I couldn't decide which stamp to go with. I started with a shimmery white base using Zoya Christina. Them I channeled Adelle and painted my under nails in a hot red (Zoya Sookie). I love the little surprise that adds! The stamps I used are from a big fat konad plate I have, I'm not sure what stamp numbers they are originally.

Neon Valentines Day

2012-02-13T15:59:00.001-08:00

I was really feeling China Glaze Shocking Pink for this Vday look. I knew I wanted some black designs on it so I free handed different designs on each finger. I carried my neon love down to my toes for some freehand hearts.
