7/23/11 - Gradient w/ Black Flower

I just got back from vacation, so I had to do a new mani. :) I've been seeing a lot of gradients done, so I gave it a try. For a first try, I'd say not bad. Could use some more work, but not bad. I also added little black flowers for fun. The pictures are from in sunlight and inside with flash.
I also got to use my new Seche Vite top coat for the first time. I've heard so much about it, and I finally found it while on vacation. That stuff is awesome! It dries so fast that I actually got to do clean-up before I took pictures for once, and my nails still look like that. And they're super smooth and shiny, too. :D

7/6/11 - Smiley Nails

I kinda thought about doing this a while ago, and then forgot about it. But after I posted a desperate plea for inspiration on Facebook, my good friend Kelly reminded me of this. So I went ahead and did it. I follow this with close-ups of each nail, and the code that makes up the smiley-inspiration. I know it needs cleaned up - I always do the clean-up the next day.









:rolleyes: :inlove: :tongue: :blushing: :)









:undecided: :bigeyes: ;) :cool: :D

7/5/11 - Pedi

I finally did my toes watermelon style. I've been planning this for a while, and finally decided to do it right before I left for vacation. I think it came out all right. :)
