26 GNAI: Black and Neon

Greetings and Nailutation,

Today I'm going to share a nail art prompt from 26 Great Nail Art Ideas Facebook Group: Back and Neon.  For most folks in the United States, this is not the time of year to be posting manis with neon colors, I mean most "normal" places get winter - REAL WINTER.  Here in Arizona it's already regularly in the 80's, so neon didn't seem to far fetched to me.

It Girl Nail Art IG118 Stamping Plate Review

Greetings and Nailutations,

*Press Sample*
Today I am sharing my review and thoughts on It Girl Nail Art IG118 Plate.  Every so often a stamping plate is created that says so much, that makes a statement and that resonates with me.  It Girl's IG118 plate did that for me.  Coinciding with LGBTQ Pride month (June), Nicole of IGNA has created a Pride LGBTQ, BLM, peace, safety pin, ally, equality plate.  So much is expressed in this plate, it made my heart warm.  There are so many images that I was familiar with but also some that I had to use the power of the internet to get information on (like all the different striped images).

Now let's get to the nail art!

Digit-al Dozen: Fashion Magazine Paper

Greetings and Nailutations,

It is our final day for the Digit-al Dozen paper prompt and I wanted to go through the magazine clippings I had in my mani-cave for mani inspirations.  I also wanted something that combined the prompt paper for the Digit-al Dozen and fruit for Nail Crazies Unite.  I happened up on a dress that said "MAKE A MANI OF ME!!!"

30 Days of Colour Challenge: Earth Day

Greetings and Nailutations,

For the 30 Days of Colour Challenge (where you attempt to utilize those polishes that sit untried in your drawer) the prompt is Earth Day!  Did you know Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970?  I decided on a minimalism mani and selected a green pastel with blue micro-flecks to symbolize Earth.

Envy's Entourage Open Mani Challenge - My Hopes for 2017

Greetings and Nailutations!

I love when nail art has a deep meaning.  What!?  Meaning?  Yes!  In the Envy's Entourage Facebook Group for fans of Envy Lacquer there is a mani challenge where they want us to tackle our "hopes for 2017."  I don't know about you, but after looking at my Facebook feed for just 30 mins I knew the answer: LOVE.  Yes, love.  I want love for friends, for the human race, for the people who look different from each other, love for the world - just love.  If we have good intentions of love, we are able to open up our hearts and mind in mutual respect for all.  Now, I agree that everything isn't all roses and daisies, but I do want to invite more love into my life.  Spending more time with family, having a positive outlook in all situations that I am placed in and challenging myself to look for good intentions that people may have (however wrong I feel they are...I will invite them to explain their reasoning).

OK enough with my sappy thoughts.  :)  Let's get to this mani!

Digit-al Dozen: Colour Contrasts Pink and Blue Skittlette

Greetings and Nailutations!

It's Digit-al Dozen week and this week the theme is Colour Contrasts (or Color if you prefer).  I'm an equal opportunity speller and embrace being able to mix and match spellings (grey vs gray).  OK, enough with my lecturing on unity.  :)  So....as you can see, I had a nail shape change...(for 1 mani).  I love the shape of squoval/square, but for the life of me, I can't do it without scratching myself and drawing blood.  So after this mani, you'll see it go back to round.

Let's get to the mani!

Envy Lacquer Thirty, Flirty and Fabulous Trio Swatch and Review with Nail Art

Greetings and Nailutations!

*Nothing to disclose*
Thirty...going from 29 to 30 can be scary...heck my grandma informed me that she told her children she was 29 for 5 years in a row until they started questioning it.  It's a new decade, we are older, we are wiser, we are more independent - we should love our 30's. Why am I talking about 30??  Because the trio I am bringing you today is in celebration of the owner of Envy Lacquer's 30th birthday.  The trio has been out for awhile but since they are in stock.  The trio consist of a holographic polish, a crelly and a glitter crelly.

Now let's get to the swatches (and nail art!)!
