I am a big fan of Hello Kitty so I came up with a couple of cute designs. This is my first one, the second one is drying as we speak. The base coat here is Pink A Card by Sally Hansen. I hand drew the leopard spots. The Hello Kitty face is stamping plate QA-24. 

Where I live, it snowed today. Spring is right around the corner though so I wanted to do a design that was bright and cheery! Another thing coming up is prom season and you could do this design to match any dress color! The tool that made this manicure possible is the Clear Jelly stamper ! For those of you that know about stamping, it is very hard to get the placement of the design just right. I have a bunch of plates with different french manicure designs, but every time I would try them, it would come out crooked! With this stamper it finally makes it possible!!  You could also make flowers with a dotting tool or a nail brush! 

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

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). 

Have you guys seen any double stamped nails yet? I loved the look so I wanted to give it a try! I just got in a new silver stamping polish from Born Pretty Store . The  Ya Qin An pink stamping polish  I did a review on in my last post, seemed to look really cool next to the silver. They both stamp great over dark colors! It was a little tricky to find a design that would be good for a backround and one to put on top of that background. I first pained my nails pink and black. Both are by LA Colors. The pink is called Electra from the Color Craze collection and the black is from the nail lacquer collection called Black Lace Creme. The stamping plate for the background design is he-he 018 and the plate with the  flower design is   BP-09  from Born Pretty Store as well. I used a dotting tool to put the middles of the flowers and that was it!  Below are the links to the stamping polishes. I am always looking for a good new stamping polish and...

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                                                           ...

Hi everyone! This was a very simple nail design and it is super sparkly in person! To do this look, I always start with a white base coat. It always makes colors pop! The in the bottom picture I used a make up sponge and made a gradient effect. The polishes used are I'm Addicted by Essie (the blue) and Pink Bubbles by L.A Colors Color Craze. When that was all dry I added a few coats of NYC polish called Starry Sliver Glitter. It has pink and blue glitter in it and a really cool silver sparkle too. I was going to add a design over it but sometimes less is more. These nails would be awesome for Prom or whenever you want some sparkle! :) 

This is my try at Minion nail art. I love these guys. They are so mischevious. All the polishes I used are shown below.  The polish names are (from left to right ) L.A. Colors Art Deco, Black, Wet n wild megalast, Whipped Topping, Sweet Color, Gray S001, L.A. Colors Color Craze, Shock and Revlon Parfumerie, Surf Spray. 

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. 

Here is another Valentine's Day nail art idea! It looks like two people going out to spend the night on the town. The girl has a diamond necklace and the guy is in his bowtie ready to go. The stamping plate I used for this one is MoYou London, Bridal Collection # 05 . 

This is my first nail art of the year!! Over the holidays, I happily received lots of pretty polishes! My youngest son got me this awesome set of polishes from Forever 21. :) Seeing them all lined up in the box made me want to try a rainbow water marble.( I even ran outside in the snow to take a pic for you and it's like 20 degrees today, brrrr). When I finished, it reminded me of the 70's or a tie-dye shirt. So it was only appropriate to add some flowers and peace signs. :) The stamping plates I used for this design were from Born Pretty Store . The peace sign one is QA-11 and the flower one is BP-20 (Links below).   Peace sign:  http://www.bornprettystore.com/letters-flowers-peace-sign-nail-stamp-template-qa11-p-4940.html Flowers:  http://www.bornprettystore.com/mixed-flower-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-p-17265.html Don't forget to use my 10% off code ANGELIQUEC10 @ Born Pretty Store

I wanted to share this awesome polish that I discovered the other day. It's from the Maybelline Color Show Shredded collection called Purple Possibilities. It's a crackle polish which they call shredded. I used a white base coat and a thin top coat of of the Maybelline polish to get this look. I like it alot because it's a quick and easy way to get nail art without all the work. :)

This is my spooky spider web Halloween nails. I used a black polish from LA Colors and the purple is Wet n Wild, On a Trip. I used a matte top coat from NYC. It worked really well. I am going to use it again in the future for sure!! The stamping plate used is from bornprettystore.com , QA26. The black and white stamping polishes are from MoYou Nails.  

This is an awesome polish my sister got me! (Thanks Annette!) It's Nicole by OPI, Selena Gomez collection called Confetti Fun. Yes it is! It has just about every color of the rainbow glitter in it. In this picture I only used two coats over a black base and it just completely covered the nail. Very great coverage! The white is Snow Me White by Sinful Colors and the musical stamping plate was Bundle Monster #411 . 

 Hey everyone! I am super excited to share this post with you!! My favorite nail art stamping company, MoYou Nails  is coming out with some great new stuff in thier new Summer collection!  First I would like to tell you some things about them if you didn't already know. MoYou Nails started as a single owner and operator in London. You can now find them throughout the UK, South Africa, Italy, Israel, Norway, Sweden, Canada and in the USA. Thier USA headquarters is in fabulous Las Vegas, that was when I first discovered them, but now they are in malls, department stores and retail chains all across America! Which is great for people like me who like to see things in person before they buy it! But you can still order online if you like that too or if you can't find a store near you.  I personally love nail art and stamping and there isn't another stamping polish that I would use! (I've tried several!)  Which brings me to my exciting news!! They are coming out w...

This is the design I came up with tonight. For two days straight, I just kept looking at my colors and was unable to decide which one to choose. I finally picked pink but instead of narrowing it down to only one pink, I thought I should use a bunch. I chose Sally Hansen - Pink-A-Card, Pure Ice - Lucky You, Sinful Colors - Boom Boom and Sinful Colors - Dream On. The stamping plate is from Bundle Monster #408. The stamping polish I always use is from MoYou Nails . (Not to be confused with MoYou London. Totally different place.) I totally recommend it ! I bought several colors from there and I love everyone of them. Alot of people ask me where to get a good stamping polish and that is who I would say. They are coming out with even more colors soon. I can't wait to see what they will be!! They have stamping plates also and they are coming out with a new batch of those too!!  More to come on the stamping polishes...but for now you can check them out below!! Stamping polishes...

I love these cupcakes! It was really easy to do too. I just started with a light pink base. (Pink a Card, Sally Hansen). Then I painted on the white with a very small nail art brush. I then added the rhinestone cherry and the caviar beads in purple, red and silver, white the polish was still wet. All you do next is add the stripes for the cupcake paper. It's that simple! :) I post these pics and more on my facebook page :  https://www.facebook.com/nutsfornails .
