Random nails

Just a few pictures of nails I've done recently. 

These are a few days old. I got some holo powder and tried it out over a creamy white base coat

Real pressed flowers

New florals

It's been forever... Forever since I did artwork  other than just plain pink. So with my birthday coming up soon, I decided to sit down and do some quick work. The boys were in bed at a decent time and the kitchen was cleaned up, so it was the perfect opportunity.

I did some messy roses and I wanted to incorporate anenomies because I think they are so pretty! Hard to make them look like something on a small scale though. But I still like how they turned out. I added some blue flowers and leaves to give it something extra.

Floral Antlers

I got this idea because of a project I've been wanting to do. I have a bleached deer skull from the buck I got last year and I want to paint it black and paint flowers on it. I have yet to have to time, or skill actually, to do it yet. Someday!

The lines aren't very precise. I need a finer brush, but it's not bad. I might try smaller flowers with more of the skull outline next time. 

I used Essie Marshmallow-base. Wet N Wild for the black. OPI colors for the flowers and added some OPI Super Star Status for some glitter. 

Thanksgiving nails

I sat down Sunday to do my nails quick before the boys woke up. I thought about doing a winter-y theme, but with Thanksgiving in a few days, and there not being any snow yet, I wasn't ready for "cold" weather nails.

I love how these turned out! Essie marshmallow is my new favorite base coat. All of the other colors, except the orange, which is SH, are elf colors. I picked the gold glitters out of an elf polish as well. 

Catching up a little

I haven't done much with my nails lately. So much going on with 2 toddlers! I can't believe they are almost 2 already! It goes so fast.

Here's just a few things I've done over the last couple months.

This is a quick one I did last night. Base is Essie -Marshmallow and the gold is Ulta 

Candy corn gradient for Halloween. The ring finger is way more blended. It was the first one I had tried and I didn't quite blend the rest of them as well, but it makes it more candy corn like. All are SH colors topped off with China Glaze - Fairy Dust

This was my favorite! I was sad when this started chipping.

I did this one a few months ago. I liked the idea, but my black was getting thick so I couldn't quite get the swirls how I wanted them to be. 

So there's most of what I've done lately. Here's hoping I can get some Christmas ones done!

Roses & Gold

I finally did my nails! It was after 10 last night so I wanted something quick and easy so I came up with this. I usually don't do accent nail designs but I really like this! It's a little sloppy from doing it quickly... but it's something!

I needed to do a third layer of the base cause this is a little more sheer than I wanted. But I like the overall design.

Valentine Nails

I couldn't really decide what to do for Valentine nails. I had a few ideas and tried a couple on my sister. Some did not turn out like I imagined but her final result was pretty. I wish I would have gotten a picture of hers. But after she left, I finally had an idea for mine!

I do kinda wish I would have done pink and white hearts instead of pink and red and I probably could've done without the glitter, but at the time, it just needed a little extra something. But it's not bad overall.
