X-(Wo)men

Today is #NationalComicBookDay.  Aka...nerd celebration day :)  I painted the women of X-Men - Rogue, Jean Grey, and Storm - using acrylic paint. 

Aztec Art Deco

I'm not sure if this mani looks more Aztec or art deco, but I like it.  With some stamping, studs, and a sunburst charm, these nails have a sophisticated look with the clean lines and color scheme.

Iron Man

"The truth is...I am Iron Man."  Another fun stamped mani using the Aiyohehe Super Hero plates!

Bambi

Check out these Bambi nails inspired by +Sarah Elmaz...aka @getbuffednails on Instagram. 

Stunna Shades

It was just starting to cool off and I was dreaming of boots and pumpkin spice lattes, but summer has come back with a vengeance with these triple digits.  So here are some fun summer sunglasses and holo glitter nails.  I tried using glitter as an accessory instead of rings...seemed like a good idea, but didn't photograph well.  You win some you lose some.

Ooh La La

I've got Paris on my mind.  I'm supposed to go there next month, but the trip may be delayed until January now :(  So for now, I'll have to settle for Paris nails until I know what will happen.  This design uses some basic and reverse stamping from the Parisian Perfection plate by +Bundle Monster.

Music Maniac

I was asked by Cut Out + Keep to participate in their Makeover Monday.  I created a tutorial for one of Miley Cyrus' nails, and then created a second tutorial for a design I would do for her as a makeover (posted here).  See the full article and my other tutorial for Makeover Monday.

Magic Kingdom

It all started with a mouse.  And some magic :)  Like many, I LOVE everything Disney (if you couldn't tell from how many Disney manis I've posted, and how I mention my love of Disney every time).  Today's mani is just a celebration of Disney.

We're All Mad Here

No tutorial, but I just wanted to share a design I painted for the #AJsMovieMani contest.  I chose Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland for my movie mani.  I did a Cheshire Cat mani a while ago, and mentioned I wanted to do this version, so here it is!  I used all acrylic paint.

New Age Swank

I fell in love with +Bundle Monster's Bored of Basic mani, and I needed it on my nails ASAP!  Their mani was a little more punk rock and edgy, but I apparently don't own any black triangle studs (the horror).  I modified my look with some clear rhinestones and a gold nail charm.

Batman

Another DC Comics nail design, inspired by playing cards from World Market.  Last time I did Wonder Woman, and now it is Batman!  Of the DC Comics, Batman is my favorite.  I always liked that he was just a normal person (well, "normal" in the sense that he didn't have superpowers), but he was still a superhero.
