Calla Lillies Manicure Nails

Callas are my great weakness, this is probably first time i came up with something that i can present to you with callas. I like how the flowers came up, however the leaves looks like a cabbage to me. Well where is really a lot of room for improvement.




Simple Nail Art

This is a really simple but in the same time super nice ring + nails set.
I know i have not been posting a lot recently, i guess i need a little break and also having a very very busy life right now.
I still have tons of pictures of my nail art, and i hope i ll catch up with posting soon enough.I hope you enjoy the mani.


Conservative office manicures Nail Art

I miss you all so much, and i am so excited right now, writing this post.
Today i will post you manicures that wore during the first week of my new job. Well it is pretty conservative, but however looked perfect in the office environment. And those gorgeous colors are from Essie Resort Collection - i love it. The last manicure is a clone of my San Francisco manicure from last summer, but done on shorter nails. I really love the combination of morrow shine chrome polish and bright details. So what do you think? Woukd those nails be apropriate for your office?




Happy summer nails Art

I missed you all week long, because i had this gorgeous manicure to share with you. And guess what? I even have a matching tows. In fact tows came out first and i really loved how this idea looked so i decided to make a matching manicure. This is not exact match but kind of look alike and made with the same base color and same decals. I really like the 3D effect that this yellow circle added to the design.
By the way this gorgeous base color is an amazing Zoya "Robin" from summer Flash collection.
So here are my tows and nail and i hope you ll enjoy, i had a blast wearing this sweet bright pair this week. Have a great week, and stay tuned next Sunday :)


Raggae Manicure Nail Art

Hello Sweet Nail-Art Lovers.
Thus weekend we attended a 6th annual reggae festival at the heart of the rocky mountains, here in colorado. I could not pass on the opportunity to make a theme inspired manicure for this special ocasion. I as in a hurry so it came out a bit sloppy in my opinion, but i am still blown with the look and the whole idea, and i hope that you ll like it too.


Hacky Summer Green Nails Art

Hello My Sweet Nail Art Lovers
Here is my manicure of the week and the last picture of nails being long. As it always happens to me, i was just trying to trim it, but went kind of really short. You will see short version in my next post.
I am not super crazy about this look, however i admire how long can my nails get, i hope you ll like the manicure

ZOYA Wonderful

Hello my Sweet Nail-Art Lovers.
Today i am posting my review of new "Wonderful" collection by Zoya, that i recently received in my mail. I will Also soon post the rest of Zoya's Seasonal called "Wicken" .
Even that i was so excited to get it and try these colors out, every time i look at these polishes i have a deja vue feeling. I mean don't get me wrong, colors are gorgeous, and quality is as always outstanding, however some of the polishes really reminded me other colors by zoya.
I also want to mention that i was surprised with how colors came out on the nails, some look way much nicer that my first "bottle" impression. My only wish for Zoya, is to stop cloning redish colors and add a litle spalsh on something unexpected. May be more in blue tones...
Anyway, here are pictures, so you can judge yourself.

Cherry Punch Manicure Nail Art

Hello Sweet Nail-Art Lovers.
I really like the way this manicure turned out, very alluring. I think the base color is gorgeous - this is one of my favorite nail polish shades ever. It is Zoya "Demi" fall 2009 collection "Dare".
I also made a matching ring to compliment this manicure.
The pedicure is not the exact match however it also has cherries, just played out little differently .

Strawberry shake nail

I found this manicure in one of the blogs, and just fell in love with it, such a fabulous idea. I can not remember who did this manicure originally, but if this is you please let me know and i will link to the original mani here.
Anyway here is my interpretation of a strawberry shake nails, i live this look.

The Kitty nail

Hello My Sweet Nail-Art Lovers
Today's manicure is a clone of one i did last summer and it involves hello kitty stamp.
This time i went with blue pallet again, but in my honest opinion kitty ended up looking a bit too blue, that would be a perfect drowned hello kitty :) Fortunately kitty is alive and manicure survived almost 5 long work days.
As a lot may wonder how i achieved this look - i simply stamped kitty first, and than put the glitter around the stamp using thin brush. I am thinking to make more manicures in this technique, i guess some flowers would look cool too.

Taste of Victory Nail

Hello my Sweet Nail-Art Lovers
I call this manicure Taste of victory because it seems like we won.... Long story short is that Diana from Painted Lady Fingers have notified me that someone stole my header and all the content of my blog together with hers and some other fellow bloggers.
We collectively contacted blogger team and it seems like they just turned down a scam blog.
Oh, gosh that feels good to know that blogger team is on our side and help protect our blogging initiative copyrights.
So this is the manicure to celebrate our little victory.
My only hope is that scam blog will stay down from now on.

This is my right hand, to eb honest i like this one even better :)

Hand And Toe nail Art

Hello My Swet Nail Art Lovers
I am so excited to share this manicure with you, because i really love it. I ecently figured a better way to handle acrylic paint for better gorgeouse gradient effect of ne stroke hand painting. The trick is to put some water in the paint to make it thinner. I am so thrilled with the results and feel liek this is the whole new level in my painting attempts.
I hope you ll like my manicure and pedicure.

This is is my right hand
And here are my new toes

Aqua Rose on Blue base Nail

Hello my Sweet Nail -Art Lovers
What a wonderful time summer, i love it, even despite the heat :)
I love swimming outdoor and i swim everywhere lakes, reservoirs and pools - i love it. I really wish to move some day closer to the ocean, so i can have even more water to swim.
So here is my aqua manicure, i just got so inspired after jumping into the pool that came up with this mani. I know it is just a flower on a blue, but it really makes me feel like i got a splash of fresh cold water on my nails.I don't do much hand painting those days, due to the busy schedule, but i think this one turned out great. What do you think?
