Deathly Hallows

Another design using my new stamping plates from Aiyoohehe!  The Harry Potter set of stamping plates has a plate for each one of the books, as well as each of the houses.  First up, is the last book of the series...the Deathly Hallows!

The Incredible Hulk

If you saw my Instagram post the other day, I just bought a bunch of new stamping plates from Aiyoohehe.  I picked a bunch of Marvel and Harry Potter themed stamping plates, and couldn't wait to try them out.  These are perfect for those who want comic book nails, but haven't mastered freehand painting, or just want to save time.

Hot Pink Paradise

The only thing I love more than Halloween nail art...summer nail art!  Start with some bright polish, add some palm trees, and you have the perfect summer nail.

Mock Marble

As seen in my last post, water marbling can be tricky.  A quick and easy alternative is this mock marble, where the polish is "marbled" directly on the nail with wet polish.

Marbling Mishaps

I love the look of water marbling, but it is not my forte.  I definitely need to practice this skill the most.  Since these nails didn't really turn out, instead of a tutorial, I'm going to discuss some things I learned while attempting to water marble.

Simple Summer

Just something really simple today.  I used a bunch of nail vinyls from +Bundle Monster to created this clean, graphic, summery look.

Anchor Me

I bought these cute anchor charms from +Bundle Monster a while ago, so I thought I'd do a nautical themed nail now that it is summer.  I kept the color scheme blue, white, and yellow, but tried to make each nail different.

India

India is the next plate I decided to try from the Around The World collection by +Bundle Monster.  I chose bright colors with gold accents since many Indian saris are vibrant in color.

Japan

I was lucky enough to get an early release set of the new Around The World plate collection from +Bundle Monster.  There are plates for France, Egypt, Japan, China, and India.  Since I'm Japanese, I decided to start with the Japan plate.

Shave Ice

Here on the mainland, people might say "snow cone" or "shaved ice," but in Hawaii, the proper term is SHAVE ice...no "d."  Growing up, I probably ate shave ice more than ice cream, so I was super excited to see a shave ice design on the new +Bundle Monster "Local Kine" plate set from the Polynesia collection.

Sprinkles

If you donut know what today is, then you obviously aren't a donut lover.  It's National Donut Day!  Many donut chains give out free donuts today, so go get yours!  Today's mani is just a super simple sprinkle design in honor of donuts.

What's Your Sign?

I'm a Sagittarius. I've seen some really cool constellation nails for a variation of the galaxy nail, so the design has been on my never ending to-do list of nails.  I wanted to do the Sagittarius constellation since that's my astrological sign, but have you seen that constellation!?!  Pretty much looks like a crazy spider since it is supposed to be the centaur shooting a bow and arrow.  Luckily, I found these awesome decals and they saved the day.
