Purple V Tips

This was a fun, but simple design that's almost a quick, plain manicure with a bit of style.














First, paint your base color on all nails except your accent nails (I chose thumb and ring fingers).














Make a V shape with the base color on those accent nails, and then add a shorter V with a contrasting or complimentary color.













 
And here's the finished manicure!

Roses & Butterfly Mani

I'm sad that I missed two of the biggest holidays for nail designs: Halloween and Thanksgiving, but I've been soooooo busy the last several weeks. Here's a nail design that turned out way better than I thought, and I want to do something similar again soon!














I used these polishes:














Here are pictures of the plates I stamped with:












(The rectangular plates are an unnamed brand I got on eBay, just search for "oblong nail plates", I got the 12 pack, there's also and 18 pack)














Sponge on the first layer of gradient.














Sponge on a darker color to continue the gradient.


And stamping time :) I did some leafy flowers all in green to just look like a bunch of leaves, then a rose with part pink and green polish, then the purple butterfly on my thumbs only.

Cute Pumpkins

I know this is late, and not very original, but I had fun with this mani and wanted to share it with you guys.














Paint your nails orange first.














I added some orange glitter, which could also be added after the pumpkin faces so that the black polish sparkles too.














Have fun with the faces you paint; feel free to google pumpkin carving for inspiration!
