Nuts 4 Nails

Summer is almost here! Is anyone planning a Disney vacatio n? I used to take my kids there when they were younger, but my youngest son is graduating high school next week! So it's been quite a while since I have got to see Mickey or Minnie Mouse!  I don't think you are ever too old to enjoy the magic of Disney, but for today I just have to enjoy it on my nails!! The red polish in the photo is called Cherry On Top by Sinful Colors from the Kandee Johnson, Vintage Mattes collection . It's the perfect red for any Summertime adventures!!

Hi everyone! Don't you love the Springtime? All of the trees and flowers start to bloom again, you get to open your windows and smell the freshly cut grass. It's also full of proms and weddings! So I decided to try a wedding nail design. The color is called Taupe Is Chic, by Sinful Colors in the Kylie Jenner collection. It's a pretty nude with a matte finish.  Over that, I stamped on the pretty lace design using MoYou Nails , White stamping polish and Born Pretty stamping plate BP-02 . Then I went a little crazy and added some pre-glued rhinestones from Kiss.

I was looking at some different blogs on the internet and I came across this one called Ella Claire . I saw free Valentine printables and it quickly inspired me to do nails that match!! She has an amazing eye for detail! 

This is a more modern Christmas look. I love the hot pink and silver together. 

I love the look of a Christmas sweater to get you in the mood for holidays! Stamping plate is from bornprettystore.com BPX-L008. 

This is my design in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Fight like a girl!!

Happy Fall! For this design I wanted to be a little different from the usual fall colors. Hope you like it! 

I found this cute polish at the dollar tree! It is from the L.A. Colors, Color Craze collection called Craze. I like it because it reminds me of a party! It's just fun! 

This pretty color is called Waterproof by Broadway Nails. It actually does remind me of the color of water and when I think of water I think of beach towels in a chevron pattern. :) I used 2 different stamping plates here both from Bundle Monster. They are BM-423 and BM-401 .

This was just a simple stamping nail art design. I always love the classic look of black and white so I wanted to come up with a funky design. I started with a white base and then stamped on my design. When it was completely dry, I taped off areas and then painted on black. I finished off the look with some silver striping tape!  The stamping plate is hehe 003 (below). 

Hey everyone!! I have another cute Valentine's Day creation here!! For this one I wanted to use the classic red and white Valentine colors and of course a little silver to add some sparkle. The base polishes are by Sinful Colors, the red is  Go Go Girl and the white is Snow Me White. Stamping plate and polish are from MoYou Nails (below).        Stamping plate is by MoYou Nails # 112                                                                                              

I really love to do snowflakes in different colors than the usual white and blue. This design was created using a snowflake stamping plate QA-58 from Born Pretty Store . I started with a white base coat and then stamped on different snowflakes in Green  stamping polish from  Born Pretty Store  and Pink, Lilac and Light Blue stamping polish  from  MoYou Nails .  Link to stamping plate :  http://www.bornprettystore.com/nail-stamp-template-cute-snowflake-design-qa58-p-5695.html .

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. Hope you like it!! :)                                  Use my 10% off code PQL91 at bornprettystore.com                                                           ...

This polish called Meadow by L.A. Colors Color Craze. I used two coats over a white base. Then I  used stamping plate QA-97 from Bornprettystore.com  (bottom photo), with a white stamping polish. I painted french tips and finished it off with striping tape for a little bit of sparkle. I wanted to do something different with my middle finger but lost my creativity. What would you have done with it??  Here's the link to the stamping plate :  http://www.bornprettystore.com/product_info.php?ref=1964&products_id=15613   And as always feel free to use my 10% off code PQL91.

Happy Fourth of July!! I hope everyone is having a fun and safe holiday. I wanted to get into the spirit by doing some red, white and blue nails of course! The colors I used are from Sinful Colors. The pretty blue is called Endless Blue, the red is Ruby Ruby  and the white is Snow Me White.  The stars are from my MoYou London Princess Collection plate #14 and the wavy stripes are from a plate I got from bornprettystore.com , it's by Ya Qin An, plate Y007 . ( I did a review on it, you can find it in my older posts ) and I topped it off with some star shaped rhinestones. :)

I was originally going to color in this flower with neon pink and yellow but I decided to put a matte finish on instead.  I really love this matte topcoat by NYC called Matte Me Crazy. It's cool because you can turn any color you already have into one with a matte finish. The stamping plate I used here is from Born Pretty Store , BP-54 . The stamping polish is MoYou Nails, White.  Link to stamping plate:  http://www.bornprettystore.com/cute-owls-nail-stamping-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp54-p-18797.html  .

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

We are back from Spring Break! (Physically, not mentally..lol) We went to Las Vegas where the temperature was in the 80's and 90's!! Back home in Indiana were I live, It's been rainy and cold. :( So I wanted to do a design that was bright and cheery! I used a neon pink and orange from Academy of Colour that I got in a set from Kohl's. The stamping plate is from Born Pretty Store , BP-44 . I used a white stamping polish by MoYou Nails.   If you come on over to my Facebook Page , I am having a nail art contest, where the prize is a mystery stamping starter set!! :0   https://www.facebook.com/nutsfornails    Stamping plate BP-44 :  http://www.bornprettystore.com/elegant-lace-nail-stamping-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp44-p-18787.html Don't foret to use my 10% off code PQL91 :)

This is my first Valentine's Day nails of 2015!  I first painted the nails white. I used Wet and Wild Megalast, Whipped Topping.  Then when that was completely dry, I used scotch tape to tape off half the nail and painted half Neon Pink. It's by Love and Beauty from Forever 21. (It came in a set and they don't have names.)  The stamping plate I used is from MoYou Nails # 112 . It is a really cute Valentine's Day themed plate! I stamped the design with the same pink polish I used earlier and though it wasn't special stamping polish, it seemed to work pretty great! I then finshed the look off by adding some silver striping tape. Would you wear this look?

I was starting to get bored with the regular winter colors. I wanted to put a little twist on it, so I made pink snowflakes . The white is Wet and Wild Megalast, Whipped Topping. The pink is by LA Colors Color Craze, Pink Bubbles. The stamping plates I used are from bornprettystore.com QA19 & QA58 . My favorite stamping polish is from MoYou Nails . I used thier pink and white.  Don't forget to use my code ANGELIQUEC10 at bornprettystore.com  to save 10% on your order!!
