26 Great Nail Art Ideas Challenge: Blue Floral

Greetings and Nailutations,

I'm back from a week vacation!  Where was I, you ask?  I was in Las Vegas - Sin City.  Unfortunately I did not win big, nor did the hubby, or my folks (who we met there).  But we did do some light gambling (I don't like donating money to a casino), eating yummy food, people watching, shopping and decided to visit the Pinball Hall of Fame.  Glad to be back home and now I'm playing catch up with some nail art challenges.  Speaking of nail art - have you had a mani you just struggled with?  The mani for this blog was my nemesis.  I could not figure out a "blue floral" mani for the life of me.

Digit-al Dozen: 70's Night Fever

The Nail Challenge Collaborative - Winter Citrus Mani

Greetings and Nailutations!

Continuing with my blog resolutions, I am adding more nail art to my blog.  Today I am sharing a mani for The Nail Challenge Collaborative.  The theme for the month is "winter."  I was trying to think of what winter means in Arizona (a state in the USA that is mostly desert).  November through January is citrus season here!  Our 7 citrus trees are bright and bearing fruit right now (1 lemon, 1 cocktail, 1 grapefruit and 4 orange trees).  (A cocktail tree is a grafted tree where each branch has a different fruit - so there is a branch of navel oranges, grapefruit, lemon, tangerine and lime.)  So, I decided to make a citrus mani!

Now let's get to the mani details!

Rainbow Celebration of New Years

Greetings and Nailutations!

My first blog post of the New Year!  I have a few resolutions for my blog.  I'd like to incorporate more nail art into my blog.  I'd also like to rely less on stamping and push myself to do more free hand.  So to start off the New Year I have a nail art post!  I'm attempting to participate in a few nail art challenges and today I am combining 2 themes: New Year's for the A Weekly Dose of Rainbows Challenge and Celebration for the 30 Days of Colour Challenge.  Links included if you are looking for some nail art groups!

Digit-al Dozen: Colour Contrasts Spin on Silver and Gold

Greetings and Nailutations,

We are on day 3 of the Digit-al Dozen's Colour Contrasts.  When I think of contrasts I think of things you wouldn't necessarily pair together - like silver and gold (oh the horror!!).  I did a spin on silver using grey (or gray if you prefer) and gold using yellow.

Now let's get to the mani!
