Latte Love

The holiday cups at Starbucks always put me in a festive mood.

Woodland Wonder

Woodland creatures always make me think of Snow White. But I'm still waiting for a bunch of deer, squirrels, and birds to come clean my hours and do my laundry. Woodland creature nails aren't quite the same, but this soft mani is sure to please.

Bee Gucci

Gucci stamped nails with the classic red and green stripe and a cute little gold bee charm.

Bold Buttons

Dry brush is really easy effect that looks like abstract art and is super fast.

Fall Flattery

Happy Turkey Day everyone!  Hope you are all having a nice Thanksgiving.  I'm trying to get the last few fall looks in before I start my holiday nails, so here is a nice fall colored mani perfect for today.

Super Mario Brothers

Like most kids born in the 80's, I grew up playing Super Mario Brothers on the original Nintendo.  I've wanted to do a Mario nail design for a while, and since my parents recently unearthed my old Nintendo console while cleaning the garage, I thought now was the perfect time.

Cheshire Cat

"If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there." -Cheshire Cat.  That's kind of how I feel right now in my job hunt, as I try to find a career and move onto the next chapter of my life.  I'm definitely Alice standing at the crossroads, trying to decide which way to go.

Alice in Wonderland

These aren't officially part of my Disney series since I didn't use the Beautifully Disney polishes, but I was in a Disney mood and wanted to do some stamping.  The stamped designs are from the new Secret Garden stamping set by +Bundle Monster, and they work wonderfully with my Wonderland theme.

Loves Me, Loves Me Knot

Back to cute looks, but still different.  I chose the design based on the +Bundle Monster stamp which has a bunch of hearts made out of knots.  It has a nautical feel, so I added an anchor and a pink and blue color scheme.

I Donut Care

DONUTS!!!!  I could eat them everyday.  Although then I'd be shaped like one.  So I'll have to settle for donut nails...which still look delicious and make me want to eat donuts.  Ahhh!

Party Pink

I received a request for some birthday themed nails, so here is the first look.  This bright pink mani is perfect for any party or birthday party.

The Quick Brown Fox

Playing around with the new +Bundle Monster nail plates again!  I'm in love with this wood grain and definitely need to buy more brown nail polishes so I can try different looks!  Fox nails have been on my to-do list for a while, and since it was a challenge for #31Nails2014, I decided now was the perfect time.

Neutral Nocturnal

Owls are one of the coolest birds of prey in my opinion.  They have amazing hearing and night vision, and can turn their heads almost completely around.  I did a neutral look with this mani for fall, and to match the owl colorings.

Banana Republic Brown

Banana Republic is a great store for work or interview attire...I definitely need to buy a new suit from them for my interviews.  Since their logo color is brown, I did a brown color scheme, along with stamped prints I thought embodied the company.  The metal studs add some edge as they've been adding a lot of the moto look to their collection.

The Cat's Meow

This is a recreation of a design by +Liz P, that I saw on Instagram.  The mint green polish paired with the black cat and pastel confetti makes a sweet look.  I improvised on the thumb since that was not pictured in the design I saw online.

Ice Cream Treats

As promised, this is the 7th design in my week of stamping fun with the +Bundle Monster Sun Kissed Collection.  Summer is not complete without some ice cream!  And I love this ice cream stamp design!  Since there is so much going on with the stamped image, I just kept it simple with the same thing stamped on all nails, with everything the same color.

A Pirate's Life For Me

One of my favorite rides at Disneyland is the Pirates of the Caribbean.  I'm also a fan of the movies.  The idea for this mani came from a bag of fake jewels and coins I have from Disney.

Eye See You

I first saw this design in InStyle Magazine.  I have a thing for eyes...I like to draw them a lot when I doodle, and it is always my favorite part to paint when I do pet portraits.  

Iridescent Egypt

Nail It! Magazine's #TiniContest Round 1 is based on a mood board featuring glaciers and iridescent fashion.  For iridescent, my first thought was a iridescent blue beetle like a scarab.  From that I decided to do an Egyptian theme using +Bundle Monster stamping plates.

Jaclyn's Bachelorette Party

As I mentioned in my Vegas Vacation post, I'm off to celebrate my best friend, Jaclyn's, bachelorette party.  Since I always paint both hands with different designs, this design is dedicated to the bachelorette party.  It is just a fun, wild, summery mix of designs, but the color scheme is a take on my friend's wedding colors.
