I just love, love, love this purple!! It is called Purple Kraze from the Sinful Colors Kylie Jenner Trend Matters Satin collection!! It was almost too pretty to cover up but the hearts were the perfect accent!!

Happy Valentine's Day!! Here are some of my past and present Valentine's Day mani's. :)  Much Love!! 

Hi there again!!  Here is my next Valentine's Day look for 2016.   This is just a cute, simple stamping design. I started with a pink and white base. The pink is Sally Hansen, Pink a Card and the white is LA Colors, Snow White . Both the pink and purple stamping polishes are from MoYou Nails .  The stamping plate I used is this cool heart-shaped plate. I got it from STZ. 

These are my Harry Potter nails! I love to watch the movies around Halloween time. There was just a Harry Potter marathon on ABC Family this weekend. That was what gave me the inspiration. The purple polish is Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme wear Deep Purple. The stamping plate is he-he 030 and the gold polish I used for the stamping is by Studio M called Gold Links. It is a regular drug store polish that worked really good for stamping. The black is MoYou Nails stamping polish. 

I know Summer is coming to an end quicker than we would like it too. But don't worry, it will be around again sooner than we know it. Purple is a great color to go from Summer to Fall! If you haven't read my earlier blog posts, my fav go to stamping polish is by MoYou Nails.  This is thier lilac special stamping polish. They have many colors to choose from! The stamping plate I used here was the same on from my last post. It's QA-97 from bornprettystore.com . That is also where I got these awesome silver nail studs . The white polish is by  LA Colors, called  Energy Source.

I get a lot of my nail design color inspiration from interior design palettes. I love this color combo of turquoise, grey and fuchsia. I was dying to try it and I just love the results!! For this design, I started with a white base. Let it dry. To do the gradient, I just apply the polish to a make up wedge and then press it onto the nail (as shown it photo below).  Then I stamped it with white stamping polish and stamping plate BP-20 from bornprettystore.com . To finish it off, I used a dotting tool to make the center of the flowers. Then I just did my clean up and put a clear coat on top. :)  I hope you all like it!!  The polishes used here are Sinful Colors-Dream On, Essie-I'm Addicted and  Sweet Color-Gray. The white stamping polish is by MoYou Nails

Happy Spring everyone!! Today I wanted to do butterflies and it just so happened that Born Pretty Store sent me an awesome stamping plate   BP-34 to do just that!! :). I have to say that I am really impressed with the new line of stamping plates that they have come out with! They work beautifully and they keep coming out with more and more! Actually, on 3/26 they are releasing new ones!!  The pastel purple and blue polish are from Born Pretty Store as well. I used #10  and #28  in this photo.  Here's the plate!  You can buy it here:  http://www.bornprettystore.com/romantic-butterfly-patterns-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp34-p-17917.html Don't forget to use my 10% off code PQL91.

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share a stamping plate that Born Pretty Store  kindly sent me to review!  I am developing a habit that I like to collect different stamping plates like baseball cards or something! Lol. I really appreciate when the maker adds special little touches, like a little envelope or sleeve that holds the plate.  This one did!!  It is by Ya Qin An. Y007 It is about 2 inches by 2 inches big.  Here is an closer look... The designs were etched beautifully!  Here are a few designs I came up with to give you some examples... I highly recommend this stamping plate!

I think it's a lot of fun doing watermarbles. It's kind of like snowflakes, no two are ever the exact same. My daughter got me a really cool glitter polish from Sally's called Over U. It's a pretty, sparkly,  purple and teal combo, which I love! The color on my pinky finger is by LA Colors Color Craze called Boomerang and the teal is by Fing'rs Heart 2 Art, Teal We Meet Again. 

I thought this would be a cute one for Valentine's Day. Conversation hearts were one thing I think everyone has memories of from Valentine's Day. The purple is by Pixi , it's called Very Violet. Then I stamped the hearts in white using Bundle Monster 421 and MoYou Nails white stamping polish. For the colors on the hearts, I used OPI Sheer Tints . They are tinted topcoats basically and they worked great for this design!!

First I will tell you the polishes I used from left to right. LA Colors- Boomerang, LA  Colors- Electra and Essie- I'm Addicted. The stamping plate I used for the flower design is from Born Pretty Store ,  BP-07 .  The little silver studs are from there also. I actually did the stamping decal method here. If you are not familiar with that, it's when you get a plastic baggie and paint a square of clear nail polish onto it. When it dries, you stamp your design onto the clear square you made. Then you can color in your design however you choose. I apply another coat of clear over the top of that to seal it up. I let it sit over night and in the morning it will just peel off!. Then I put it on top of a coat of white polish and that's it! I may to a tutorial in the future to show this method. :) Round studs: http://www.bornprettystore.com/500pcs-12mm2mm3mm-mini-gold-silver-round-stud-rhinestone-nail-decoration-wbox-p-12411.html .  Use my 10% off code ANGELI...

This is my African safari nail art. I love this one. I first used a sponge to get the light blue, pink and purple sky, I wanted it to look like it was at sunset. I used plate BP-16 from bornprettystore.com  (link below). I always use MoYou Nails stamping polish (link below also). They always leave a really crisp image. Then I made the tips and the animals black because in my mind that's what it would look like at sunset. :)  Safari plate:  http://www.bornprettystore.com/zebra-wolf-animal-patterns-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-p-17261.html Stamping polishes: http://moyou.us/product-category/moyou-nail-polishes/

Hello everyone! I am already tired of this cold weather and the snow, so I wanted to make something bright and cheery.  I made this design with a purple polish by Sinful Colors called Tempest, a pretty pink from Pure Ice called Lucky You and some items from Bornprettystore.com . ( I will include the links to the items below.) First, I sponged on polish to the middle and ring fingers. I painted the pointer finger purple and the pinky pink. I then used one of the new stamping plates from Bornprettystore.com . It's BP-20 . Then I added pink and purple dots to the middle of the flowers. I finished it off with a clear coat to seal it all up and leave a shiny finish.  Colorful dots:  http://www.bornprettystore.com/mixed-nail-glitter-decoration-colorful-mini-round-thin-paillette-design-p-15085.html Stamping plate:  http://www.bornprettystore.com/mixed-flower-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-p-17265.html
