Nail Challenge Collaborative: Green Florals

Greetings and Nailutations,

Today I'm sharing some nail art (that I also have up on my YouTube channel too!).  This mani is for the Nail Challenge Collaborative and this month the theme is green.  When I was swatching the Drip Drop Nail Paint Swing Into Spring Collection - I found the perfect base!

Let's get to the details!

30 Days of Colour: Birds

Greetings and Nailutations,

Another post for 30 Days of Colour, where we try to tackle the untried polishes sitting in our cabinets/drawers/helmers waiting to be used.  I also wanted to combine this with Spring for Nail Challenge Collaborative.  I wanted something bright (and I was in a rush) - so, the stickers from a stencil were used.  :)

Let's get to the details!

Nail Challenge Collaborative: Pastel Floral

Greetings and Nailutation,

Today my blog post is for the Nail Crazies Unite group.  The theme is floral pastels and I had to bring in the Pastelly Jellies from Drip Drop Nail Paint - which were just re-released!  One of great things about the Pastelly Jellies is that you can create not only jelly sandwiches (glitter between layers of jelly) but you can create stamping sandwiches!  :)

Let's get to the details!

Nail Challenge Collaborative: Spring Daisies

Greetings and Nailutations,

This month I'm a little behind on some nail art challenges and I know I won't get caught up.  Having a nasty cold for week and sounding like a trucker who smokes kind of changed my schedule.  :)  Today I'm sharing a mani for the Nail Challenge Collaborative group with the prompt "Spring."  The goal is to do 1-4 manis with the same prompt.  What do I think of with spring?  Flowers blooming of course!

Now let's get to the details!

Nail Challenge Collaborative: Black and White Dotticure

Greetings and Nailutations,

This is my 3rd mani for the Nail Challenge Collaborative prompt Black and White.  I previously did a recreation of some art and then spring nocturnal animals.  Today I'm doing a simple dotticure, but playing with finishes.

Let's get to the details.

Spring Animals in Black and White

Greetings and Nailutations,

I'm combining 2 prompts again!  I had "Spring Animals" for 26 Great Nail Art Ideas and "Black and White" for the Nail Challenge Collaborative.  Now, when most people think of "Spring Animals" they think cute bunnies and chicks and pastel colors.  But you know what?  Some of the animals that appear during spring are nocturnal!  So I decided to do a mani of nocturnal animals.

Now let's get to the details.

Digit-al Dozen Redoes Art: Black and White Minimalism

Greetings and Nailutations,

It's a Digit-al Dozen week and you know what that means?  Five days of nail art with one theme.  This week it is Art!  Now I will preface this by saying I am not the best at free handing art, so I needed to find pieces of art that go with my skill set (i.e. scribbling).  :)  I also wanted to fit in a Black and White mani for the Nail Challenge Collaborative.  Two themes and 1 mani!  BOOM!  Here is the inspiration piece of art: After Botticelli by Brice Marden (B. 1938)

Lets get to the details!

A New Beginning - Chinese New Year

Greetings and Nailutations!

In the Nail Challenge Collaboration group our theme for this month is "A New Beginning" which can have so many interpretations - which I love!  The ideas are endless!  This first mani, I thought of a few days ago on the first day of Chinese New Year and was inspired by red (symbolizing luck, joy and happiness) and gold (symbolizing nuetrality)!

Now let's get to the details!

Pink Winter Mani With a Piece of Cake!

Greetings and Nailutations!

Does winter and pink go together?  It does when you are a pink loving girl!  My dear friend Jess (owner of Drip Drop Nail Paint) has her birthday coming up and she is a huge fan of pink.  I had to create a whimsical pink winter to celebrate her special day!

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!
