Neutral rosettes

This design was inspired by a friend's shirt! I started with a base of E.L.Fs Desert Haze. I stamped the rosettes from Shany plate SH208 with E.L.Fs Smoky Brown. I finished with a top coat of Seche Vite!

Once again please excuse my nasty cuticles--I was really good for about a week and put oil on them numerous times a day along with lotion and they started looking better. Then I left my oil pen at home one day and that's all it took to get me out of the habit :\ Do any of you have tips to keep up on moisturizing your cuticles??

Geometric Nails Using Stamps

I was kind of in a funk about what I wanted to do with my nails today, so I looked through my stamps and decided on this one; I used a plate from Born Pretty Store (BP-25).

I started with a base of Lime Crime's Lavendary; I added a quick dry top coat so I could move on to stamping quicker. I then stamped the design on each nail with Zoya's Kelly. I used a dotting tool to randomly fill in a few of the plus-signs. I finished with a coat of Seche Vite!

Sweet Nails

I'm officially sick of "winter nails" (as well as winter itself!) so I decided to do some spring-y looking nails! On a sponge, I made a stripe of Essie's Play Date, ELFs Bubble Gum Pink, and China Glaze's Peachy Keen. I then dabbed that on each nail, and cleaned up the sides/cuticles. Using Essie's Blanc and Winstonia nail plate #W117 (and of course my Konad stamping kit), I stamped the cupcake, lollipop, and ice-cream stamp. Next I painted a glitter polish over the top to add some sparkle. Finally I finished off with a top coat.

AND if you couldn't tell------MY NAILS ARE STILL ON FROM THE LAST POST!! Hallelujah, it's a miracle! Fake nails generally don't stay on me for more than about 2 days, max, and it's now been 4 days! Twice as long as normal! Yeeesssss!! :D
