Elephants!!

I saw a picture the other day, browsing on Pinterest, of a baby elephant. It was a drawing so it wasn't a real picture but I thought it was just so cute. So i decided to try to do elephants on my nails! I was so excited to get home and start working on them! It was a little harder than I had thought, but I kept it pretty simple and I just love it! I can't stop looking at the cute little guys!
Anyways on to the nails!

It's kinda hard to tell, but the little ring finger guy is an elephant sitting down. It was hard to get little detail lines in there. The thumb one is supposed to be an elephant sitting down and facing front. It's much harder to draw the design on a nail than it is on a bigger piece of paper!

Aren't they just so cute! I just love them. I wish the thumb would have turned out a little better,but I still like it. Doing theses left handed for my other hand was not as easy. I'm usually really good at painting left handed, but these ones were a little harder to get down. They are still cute, but I didn't take a picture of that hand.

 I used Wet 'N Wild - Sugar coat as my base. Sally Hanson XtremeWear- White Out was the french tip. The dots are Wet ' Wild - Rain check, for the blue, a mix of elf - Cherry Bomb and the same white mixed for the pink, and the silver is Sinful Colors - Out of the World. The elephants were done in with the SC polish then outlined with elf - Misty Haze. I added some Sugar Coat to the ears for a little bit of pink. I think it's one of my most favorite designs! I seriously can't stop looking at the little ring finger guy :)

Been Awhile! Gradient Nails

It has been a long time since I did my nails. Summer comes around and I just get busy. So summer nail art is always sporadic. But last night I decided it was just time to do my nails. I wanted to do a gradient since I have only tried it once and I did really like how it looked. So I decided on a pink and gold gradient and had to add some flowers because I just love flowers!

For the flowers, I tried for one stroke petals, but it didn't work out exactly as I had planned. But I still like them.

For the base, I used my favorite pink, Sally Hanson - Sugar Coat. For the flowers I mixed elf - Cherry Bomb and Sally Hanson Extreme Wear - White On. The gold was elf - Blushing Beauty.  Hopefully I can get to my nails a little more often. I almost forgot how fun it is to create pretty nails!
