Pineapple Nails

I love pineapples.  I love how sweet they are.  I love the crowns they have on their tops.  I love their shape.  Painting pineapples on my nails have been a nail art bucket list item for me for over two years and when I was invited to a Hawaiian-themed birthday party I knew they'd be perfect.  For this design, I was inspired by the pineapple nails that Elle & Ish did a couple of years ago.

On my nails I'm wearing OPI I Just Can't Cope-acabana, Zoya Talia, and Zoya Purity for my bases.  To create the pineapple I used my dotting tools, OPI I Just Can't Cope-acabana, China Glaze Desert Sun, and Kiko 391.  The chevrons were done using nail vinyls and Zoya Talia over Zoya Purity.  A few gold stars and some top coat later and this manicure was ready to party.

Bonus?  I matched my nails to the pineapple shirt I was wearing.  #AllPineappleEverything

Mermaid Nails

Mermaid nails are synonymous with summer for me.

I used Zoya Charla on my nails with Zoya Purity as my white base.  For the mermaid nails I used Vibrant Vinyl's Liquid Latex to block off my skin, mermaid scale vinyls from What's Up Nails, and then Zoya Charla and Zoya Ivanka in a gradient.

Classy Holiday Nails

Happy flashback Friday!  This Friday's manicure is a subtle and classy holiday look with accent dotting and chevrons using nail vinyls.  For this look I used Zoya Posh and Zoya Tomoko.  So easy and simple, but lovely for work parties.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, had a very shiny nose!  It's all holiday nails all the time now and this week's flashback Friday is no exception.

For this manicure I used OPI My Vampire is Buff as my base, then used Zoya Sookie and Orly Lucky Duck to create the red and green chevrons.  My reindeer was created using Zoya Chanelle, Sally Hansen Black Out, Zoya White Out, and China Glaze Ruby Slippers.

Jewel Tones

I love this manicure!  Nail vinyls make gorgeous manicures so easy and these quatrefoil vinyls from Vibrant Vinyls are my favorite.

For this manicure I used OPI Fly and KBShimmer Dressed to Gild.

Holo Spider Webs

One last Halloween manicure to finish out this year.  :)

This time I chose to do some spider web nails using linear holographic polishes.  For this manicure I used Color Club Harp On It, Zoya Sia, and Color Club Beyond using vinyls from What's Up Nails.

Since there's no sun in the Pacific Northwest today I took a photo with flash so you can get an idea of how gorgeous the holo is.

Black and Orange

Manicures from years past.  :)

Today I'm sharing a manicure that I Instagrammed and Facebooked, but never shared here on the blog.

Zoya Arizona for my base, nail vinyls with Sally Hansen Black Out, accent stamping with Bundle Monster BM-222. 

Sunset Graveyard

I really liked the graveyard nails I did on my friend last week so I gave myself a similar manicure.  I used two coats of Zoya Purity as my base, then sponged on a gradient using Zoya Darcy, Zoya Thandie, and Zoya Yana.  To make clean up easier I used the Liquid Latex from Vibrant Vinyls. To create the graveyard I used vinyls from What's Up Nails.  I love how easy vinyls make everything!

Fall Leaves

I love how this manicure turned out.  I used Zoya Dhara as my primary color with OPI My Vampire is Buff, Zoya Destiny, Zoya Solange, Zoya Chyna, and Zoya Dhara as the colors of the leaves on my nails.  I used the leaves vinyl from What's Up Nails for the pattern, and it was my least fun vinyl to ever work with (the leaves didn't separate nicely from the stencil).  Let's just say that I'm very glad I did the leaves as accent nails instead of on every nail.

Graveyard Nails

I did my friend's nails for Halloween and this is the design I did.  A lovely gradient with China Glaze Sweet Hook, China Glaze Gothic Lolita, and China Glaze Crimson, topped with a vinyl from What's Up Nails and Sally Hansen Black Out.

Fall Colors

There is something about shades of purple and gold that say Fall colors to me.  I found some nail vinyls in my polish drawer and wanted to use them today.  For my polishes I used OPI Love.Angel.Music.Baby, OPI Anti-Bleak, and China Glaze Crimson.
