"Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the bees...."

Hi Everyone,

"Let me tell you 'bout the birds and the bees 

and the flowers and the trees,

the moon up above, 

and the thing called love." 

A few weeks ago there was this contest from Above The Curve and the theme was Spring is in the air.  In the Spring lots of animals/people fall in love so I wanted to do a cute Spring scenery where 2 snails fall in love  :) You know how much I love doing sceneries/landcape nails all done with stamping. I always have so much fun making these. 

Base a white from P2 sponged with Born Pretty Store BK 06 and BK 02 glow in the dark polishes. Added a subtle Spectraflair topcoat on top. Used many plates HB34 (bee), Moyou Mother Nature 01 (hearts, grass, flowers, butterfly) and 02 (flowers) Moyou Suki 10 (grass), Moyou Princess 04 (snails), Nailways Snowwhite Weather Forecast (clouds) and Nailways Vive la Vie Beach Baby (kite). Using Konad SN dark orange, orange pearl, green, black, white, pastel violet, sky pearl, yellow, red and Klean color metallic white.

And another picture with different light.

And a pic of just the gradient glow in the dark sponged base.

I was happy with how this mani turned out. While I was making it the song about the Birds and the Bees got stuck in my head and now I hope you have that too haha ;)

The see all the other entries in this fun contest click here. And also check out their beautiful polishes I can stop drooling on those holo's (don't own any but my nail friends do and when they post their mani's I am like woooow soooo pretty :) )

Thank you for reading.

Have a nice day :)

Bad Hair Day

Hi Everyone,

Today something fun, I did this last week. As you all know I love being challenged and get creative, I was invited for a "Bad Hair Day" contest over at Upload And Share Your Own Nail Art Creations and felt so honored (she is amazing). I was challenged to think outside the box and use unusual things for nail art. So I used my own hair haha :)

"The moment you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror (pinkie)
Trying to brush and comb your hair (ring finger) 

But nothing works you are having a bad hair day (middle finger) 

Blow drying, combing, brushing...you even consider cutting because nothing works (index finger) 

But then you make the cutest braid with bows (thumb) 

And you bad hair day is saved"

We had to include a paper with a smiley face on it so she could see it was new and made for her contest :)

Gradient with Essence Show your feet Flamingo rose, Konad SN pastel violet and Essie Full Steam Ahead. Stamped the mirror from Moyou Princess 07 and colored it with a mini silver from Color Club, stamped the comb, brush, sciccors, blowdryer, hand mirror from parts of Cheeky CH40. Stamped and colored the girl on Moyou Suki 10 and used a little freehand coloring, adjusting her hair and eyes.  And added my own real hair on my middle finger and made a little braid in my own hair cut it off and paste it on my thumb haha LOL Also added one silver and one pink fabric bow.

Also a picture without the smiley face.

And this what it look liked without my own hair.

And some swatches of just the pink and lilac gradient base.

I had so much fun doing this :)

Thanks for reading.

Cats playing in the garden :)

Hi everyone,

This was actually my first idea for the blogger mani-a giveaway/contest. I saw the list of 11 themes and one of them is CATS so I immediately thought of this mani. Then I heard I could do more then one theme so I did 2 other ones too :) Like I said before I love doing themed mani's and I had enough ideas for all the themes haha, but that would be too much. I really wanted to do this Kitties/Cats playing in the garden mani. I like making scenery/landscape nails, they do take some time to make but I love doing that :)

The weather is really nice here..it really feels like Spring :) Outside you always see cats chasing frogs (thumb) or butterflies (ring finger) and just having fun in a garden. So I had to make that on my nails too. And I miss having cats. I had not used the plate with the cats yet so this was also a perfect opportunity to do that.

Base DA magical with a franken green holo and Nubar Absolute. Cats are from Born Pretty Store plate QA15. Frog, swan, dragonfly from HB34. Grass from Konad M66 and Moyou Mother Nature 01. Flowers from HB33, Moyou Suki 10, Moyou Mother Nature 01. Butterflies also from Moyou Mother Nature 01. Sun is from Nailways Snowwhite Weather Forecast. And the clouds are from Moyou Mother Nature (aka Landscape) 06. 

Colors used: Konad SN black, SN white, SN yellow, SN pastel blue, SN orange pearl, SN red, SN moss green, SN pastel pink, PSN apple green, PSN pop green, Flormar 47.

Also used a dotting tool  and a sponge (for the water).

I hope the weather will be nice here the next week too......can't wait for the Summmer.

Thanks for reading!
