Color Theme: Green


In continuation of my Color Theme series, here is Green! I started off with Zoya Mitzi and then put a coat of shear shimmery green on top. I wanted the lime green color, but I wanted shimmer to it, that is why I chose to use to polishes as a base. Next, using a dotting tool ,created a 5 petal flower in white. After that, I used a dark green and the same dotting tool to do the centers. This is a very simple and easy design that I hope you all like. Here is a tutorial if you are interested:

See you later long nails!


That's right, my nails are short. or as short as I'm willing to go. Also if you notice, they are round. I have a reason for this. As I told you guys a couple weeks ago, I was going to cut my nails. Many of you probably don't know, but I am on a committee that organizes the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Walk in my area. I have been part of this for about half my life and I enjoy it every year. The day before the walk as well right after the walk, the committee and some volunteers set up/take down boxes of materials as also tables that are used for various things. Everything is pretty heavy and nails can easily break. Last year my nails were a bit longer then they are right now and I broke two. So, this year I decided to cut them a bit shorter and round them out so that the edges of the tips wont catch on anything. Also, shorter nails will just make everything easier and less stressful for me on those days. After the walk is over I will grow my nails long again and square them out. I was not planning on cutting them until next weekend, but yesterday morning, I broke 3 of them! Guess something/someone was telling me it was time. LOL.

Easter Nails!

Easter is just a few days away so I wanted to get this cute and easy design up. I hope you love it as much as I do! You can use so many different colors on this design and make it your own, with poka-dots or stripes. anything you want to add to the egg shells. I personally like them plain  like this better though. Here is the video:

Let me know if you try them, I always enjoy seeing what others do with the designs.
