I’m not sure if you know, but since 2011, Sarah of Chalkboard Nails has done a different nail art for 31 days starting on September 1st. I always marveled at her and wondered, omg why? And you know why? Because it’s a challenge that helps you grow as a nail artist and for whatever reason, I decided […]
Happy 2 year anniversary to Serum! I have to say that I am so incredibly thankful to have even gotten this far! For today’s mani, I was inspired by The Polish Aholic‘s holo unicorn mani atop of rainbow gradient. So I grabbed some of my favorite glow polishes and using the watercolor technique I got […]

I absolutely love the color scheme for Essie’s Resort 2014 collection. I mean what’s not to love about nude, coral and blues? They go so well together. Application for these were all pretty easy. Resort Fling is a coral peach creme that leans almost to a jelly finish. Shown is 3 coats without top coat. […]

The OPI Sheer Tints are sheer translucent colored jellies, but OPI has made them super glossy so they can act as top coats. Actually, I used to make translucent top coats when I was little so I wanted to see how a mainstream brand did these. According to OPI, you can use these alone or […]
