Big Little Lies-inspired Nail Art

Hey there!  When Lindsey of Wondrously Polished started a Facebook book club called The Polished Bookworms for those of us who love nail polish AND reading I jumped at the chance to take part.  Every month we'll be reading a book voted on by the members and then, at the end of the month, posting our mani's inspired by the book.  This month's book is Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty, a suspenseful fiction book.  I don't want to give anything away but, in order to explain this mani, I will say it starts with some champagne-induced bonding and has some "fizzy pink drinks" that play into the most revealing scene.

Stained Glass Flowers with ILNP Flakies

Hey there!  This week's Crumpet's Nail Tarts 52 Week Challenge theme that I decided to go with was "non-glitter topper" (the other was was fishbraid and, as it turns out, those are IMPOSSIBLE for me). I don't have many non-glitter toppers but I do have a few of the new ILNP Ultra Chrome Flakies and flakes aren't glitter!  Phew!  I actually had this idea in my head for awhile and, while it was kinda of a pain in the butt to make stamping decals with the flakies, I think it turned out pretty good!  I couldn't decide if I liked it more glossy or matte so I'm showing them both today.

F.U.N. Lacquer Burnin' Up (H) Stamped

Hey there!  I have a quick post to show you how I wore one of the newer F.U.N. Lacquer polishes recently.  I was going to show you another pastel mani but figured you might need a break from all my spring colors even though it's still the dead of winter (though it's feeling very spring-like where I am...which is pretty concerning to me).  Anyways, I really only discovered F.U.N. Lacquer a few months ago and now I want all the polishes!  This is the holo version of Burnin' Up with stamping from a Cici & Sisi plate.   

Sunday Stamping - Over A Blue Base

Hey there!  I know it's pretty late at night for a Sunday stamping post but I have two hours left in Sunday so why waste the mani I did this week.  This week's theme was a pretty simple one - over a blue base.  And I did some simple stamping to go along with it. 

China Glaze Watercolor Nail Art

Hey there!  Today's post is another one from the vault.  I don't think I can ever leave spring colors alone because, like my last post, these also look pretty spring-y.  These look hard but they're so easy! I'm officially in love with watercolor nail art!  Keep reading to see which China Glaze colors I used.

Messy Mansion Floral Stamping Decals

Hey there!  Well, since my first Digit-al Dozen month had me do 10 mani's in order to find 5 I liked, I've fallen a bit behind on doing non-themed nail art so I thought it'd be a good time to clean out the vault of things I've done and never blogged.  I did these almost two months ago and quite liked them but they kept getting pushed back in order to blog challenges, etc.  So here's some (very old) floral stamping decals I wore.

Smoky Nail Art

Hey there!  I decided to go out on limb a bit for this week's 52 Week Pick n Mix Challenge.  The themes for this week are "green and yellow" and/or fire.  I thought I'd go with the old saying of "where there's smoke, there's fire" and do this green and yellow smoky nail art.  Kind of look like the beginning of Breaking Bad, don't you think?
