Native American Nails

 Hey guys! I know, I know, I keep falling behind. I don't have any excuses really, but we did adopt a new dog nearly three weeks ago. I also apologize beforehand, my nails look not so great, they have been super sad lately!
 These nails were inspired by a client. She wanted a Native American theme, she mentioned feathers, dream catchers, wolves and turquoise. After doing them for her I loved them so much I had to do them on myself.  The base is China Glaze For Audrey. The turquoise nails are a bit of blue acrylic paint and gold polish sponged on then I used the water marble technique with black polish sprayed with alcohol. The dream catcher, feathers, and wolf are all done with acrylic paint.

Roses with Chains

 Hey guys! I know is has been a super long time since I posted but after visiting family and moving from working in a salon for someone else to booth renting on my own has taken a lot of my time recently and I apologize that I haven't been blogging. I am hoping now that I am getting settled into my new area that things will go back to somewhat normal. 

 Today I have a design I did a while back inspired by Robin Moses, you can see her video here. The base is OPI Black Onyx with a bit of gold holo glitter near the cuticle. The roses and scrolling are done with acrylic paint.

 I did add chains and a small gold lion charm on the ring finger as well.

Bet You'll Never Guess What I Found...

 So, the beauty supply I have been going to since getting my license had a few very nice finds. The supply is kind of a hole in the wall shop that's not well know unless you are a licensed nail tech. Since you need a license to shop there and they are a pretty old place, and it's a huge place, I'm talking a warehouse for just nail products, they had some old OPI's still in stock.
 Today I have OPI DS Original, a light lavender holographic shade. It's discontinued and pretty hard to find. I have been searching for it everywhere for a few years and glad I finally found it. Picture is two coats, the formula is a bit thin and could use another coat but it is beautiful anyways.
