GO RAVENS! Super Bowl 2013 Manicure!

As promised, here is my Ravens Super Bowl manicure! :) 

 I told my husband and my dad that if the Ravens made it to the Super Bowl that I would do a Ravens manicure! I'm not a football fan but I do love Baltimore.

I decided to do the menacing Raven's eyes on my middle and ring nails with some "explosion" accent nails.

I used Orly Charged Up, Sinful Colors Black On Black, OPI Dazzled By Gold, Essie Laquered Up, Sinful Colors Snow Me White and (of course) Seche Vite as my top coat.

Hope you enjoyed this mani and have a great Super Bowl weekend!

GO RAVENS!

Happy Birthday to ME...and my BLOG!

That's right! My blog turns 1 today! ;)

Oh, and I turn 29. :P Obviously I did my nails for the occasion!

So, here is my birthday manicure. Nothing too crazy. I wanted to go with a chic but sparkly look today so I did a Half Moon manicure using Layla Holographic in Flash Black and a new polish that my husband gave me for Christmas from the new OPI Mariah Carey collection in Anti-Bleak. I love both of these polishes and would highly recommend them. (Mariah Carey Collection is in stores now...go by it!) 

I hope you all enjoy my birthday as much as I will! haha

Easter in July!

I've really been into pastels lately and really love the color combo on this tape manicure!

I used some classic pastel polishes from my stash and a new one that is out in a recent summer collection.

Here's what I used:

Essie Lilacism (my favorite lilac polish!)

Orly Cotton Candy 

China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint

Essie Bikini So Teeny (From the Essie 2012 summer collection...love the name!)

 The colors looks so clean and fresh together! I got so many compliments on this mani!

...and now...the elusive right hand! hahaha

So, what do you think? Are you as into the pastel as I have been recently?

Hope you are all enjoying your summer! It's been a hot one!!! Even more reason to stay inside and give yourself  a manicure! ;)

Stay cool,

Lindsay

P.S. I've had a request to do some tutorials. Are there any particular manicures YOU would like to see a tutorial of? Please comment and let me know! :D

I'm back with an abstract "Cloud" mani!

I bet you thought I died, didn't you?! Nope. Alive and well....just a busy girl! :)
I hope you all are doing well and enjoying Spring so far! :D
Today I have a mani that I did last week. It's sort of and abstract "cloud" mani. I used Orly "Wild Wisteria", "Essie Braziliant" (which is also on my toes right now! I love it!) and Sinful Colors "Snow Me White". This was my first attempt at the "cloud" and I like it! It actually wasn't that hard...even though it was freehand. No tape involved here! I hope you like it and I will be better about updating on here more often. :)

Hope you all have a very Happy Easter!
