Nuts 4 Nails

We're getting close to Valentine's day! For this look I wanted to go for that romantic, vintage vibe. I used more "earthy" tones for the base. The polish pictured, is from China Glaze called Dope Taupe. I did an off-white color on my middle  finger. It is by OPI, called My Vampire is Buff.  I thought that shade mixed with the pink roses gave it that vintage feel! Then I tied it together with the pink on my ring finger. That one is called Bali Mist by Sinful Colors. Then I just added the heart! 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I love to bring awareness to it the only way I know how. 

Valentine's Day is one of my favorite holidays for nail art. I love the colors of the occasion and the themes! For this one I chose to do lips and x 's and o's! I started with the base coats and then stamped on each design individually.  I hope you like it!! Kisses from Nuts4Nails!! 

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. 

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

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. 

Hi everyone! I really like how these turned out! The stamping plate is 030 by Qgirl. I sponged on the colors using Purple POP and Pink-y Swear from the Salon Perfect Neon POP colors. Then the blues are Sinful Colors, Endless Blue and Broadway Nails, Waterproof. Hope you like it!!

Today my design is baby shower nails! I really like this one. The base colors is used were Sally Hansen's Pink A Card and BK #28 from Born Pretty . The stamping plate is XY-P04. Super cute! The letters are stamping plates B52 & B53. All stamping polishes are by Moyou Nails, light blue , pink and white .

If you want to do a totally cute but super easy manicure, my go-to design is always an ombre/gradient. You can leave it plain or add stuff to it! Here I used stamping plate BP-15  from Born Pretty Store  and some rhinestones to decorate mine. I did this one in a blue tone also. Check out my Gradient Blue  if you like. I would like to do one in purples  next!     Here are the colors I used             From left to right: Sally Hansen- Pink A Card, LA Colors   Color Craze- Pink Bubbles, Salon Perfect Neon POP!- Pink-y Swear  and Sinful Colors- Boom Boom.                                                            

Hi everyone! Today I thought I would do a cute, Spring theme with bright colors. I love this stamping plate! It's  BP-52  from Born Pretty Store . All of the polishes I am wearing were all Mother's Day gifts! The first one is China Glaze Nail Spray in Platinum Silver. This is my first 'spray polish'!   The next two are from Salon Perfect, Neon Pop colors, Pink-y Swear and Purple POP . They have so many awesome colors! Last but not least, from Essie, is Go Ginza on my pinky . The stamping polish I used is Dark Purple from Ya Qin An.  Quick link to stamping plate:  http://www.bornprettystore.com/full-design-beautiful-flower-nail-stamping-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp52-p-18795.html

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!! 

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. 

Hi everyone! Valentine's Day is right around the corner!! I love the hot pink and black color combo, so that is what I chose to start with. The black polish is LA Colors Nail Lacquer,  Blace Lace Creme and the pink on my ring finger is by Sinful Colors,  Boom Boom . I used a few different stamping plates for this one. Two are from Bundle Monster , # 411 and # 412 and the design on my ring finger is BP-32 from Born Pretty Store . The pink stamping polish is Ya Qin An and the black is from Born Pretty's stamping polish collection. I topped all of that off with a matte topcoat by NYC, Matte Me Crazy. You only need a thin coat and it gives any polish a totally cool matte finish.                                         Here are the images of the stamping plates I used.                        

Showing my support because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month .  I used a light pink polish from a set from Forever 21 that my son got me and stamping plate  BP-26  from bornprettystore.com . You can show your support to any cause with this plate!  You can purchase the stamping plate here :  http://www.bornprettystore.com/ribbon-theme-nail-stamp-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp26-p-17909.html .

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...

Hey all my stamping sisters!! Today I wanted to do a review of Ya Qin An stamping polish. I only purchased one, the pink, to see how it worked before I bought more. Well I am a big fan I must say! In the first picture I wanted to show you how well it stamps over black and light colors. As you can see the answer is beautifully!! :) I love when companies put effort into the details! The bottle is a cool square shape and it comes in a white box. This is a nice size bottle too! It's 18ml!  As you can see it picks up wonderfully on the stamper! I was pleasantly surprised and I honestly can not wait to get some more!! If you want some too, I got this from 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 a quick and easy design. I love dasies but I wanted to give them a little twist. I love, love, love this blue by Milani. It is called Power Periwinkle . The stamping plate is from Born Pretty Store ,   BP-46 . Then I just added pink dots in the middle of the flowers insted of the usual yellow. Hope you like this one!   You can get the stamping plate here:  http://www.bornprettystore.com/banana-tree-nail-stamping-template-image-plate-born-pretty-bp46-p-18789.html .
