Lavender Shimmer

I love the exotic patterns in my new Cheeky Plate C.  I also loved the pretty lavender sparkle shade of the new Konad purple polish.  Base is a mix of Essie Limo-scene and Nuance Moonflower.

Denim Nails

I saw this reverse gradient on the Globe & Nail blog.  I attempted it, but my striping tape was too thin. I liked how her stripes came out thicker. My sponging also is blotchy.   And it took a bit of patience and time.

Milano White as base,
Essie Mezmerized, China Glaze Secret Peri-winkle, and China Glaze Dandelion for sponging.

Sunny French Tips

Warm weather yellow for some time at the shore. Saw this on Pinterest by CoolNailsArt.

Go Kings!

Gotta give the Kings some Playoffs power with some lucky nails.

The purple is China Glaze Coconut Kiss

The crown Stamp is Plate BM08 and stamped with Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri Silver

Peacock Gradient

A lot of peacocks around the neighborhood streets lately, so I had peacock colors on my mind.  Sponged a gradient with purple, blue, and green with a stamped gold Mash pattern. It chipped the first day, excuse the damage and half-assed repair on the middle finger. The Orly Luxe gold was too pale. I wanted a more vibrant gold.

Wispy Lace

Love this Konad image design! It is so soft and delicate. Careful, it liked to smear a bit with top coat, even using the Konad Special Top Coat. And it is so thin and delicate, it sometimes didn't print the every little detail in the lace netting. But its worth the careful effort.

Base: China Glaze Innocence

Pastel Abstract

I saw this on Pinterest from the The Nail Polish Project Blog and thought it was so creative and the color combo really cheerful.

So I tried to simulate it in a bit more simplified version. I only did two color blocks on some nails instead of three on all nails. It was time consuming with waiting for polish to dry before doing the next round of taping, and I was too impatient to do each nail with three color blocks.

Not as clean or cool as hers came out, but it was still very eye catching and received a lot of comments. Most people were amazed it wasn't a decal.  Different color combos for different seasons could be very cool.
