Blue

I heard the song Blue by Eiffel 65 while in my car the other day, it immediatelty sent me right back to middle school and I did a manicure to show my love for the song.

To do these nails all I did was put a base coat on, Gelous by the same company that makes one of my favorite top coats, In A Hurry.

Then I used the blue Konad stamping polish with the M19 plate to add the blue.

Then I added a sticker decal off a set given to me by my niece and finished it all off with a coat of Seche Vite.

There you have it!  For your reward you get to enjoy Blue (Da Ba Dee)!  Hope you have a very blue day!

Elektra

By now I'm sure you know how much I love the Tronica collection by China Glaze.  I bought all of the colors and a couple of them I even bought two of!  And I'm sure you also know by now what a bitch these colors are to photograph.  I take hundreds of pictures and they STILL don't turn out right!  But I thought I would give it a whirl anyways...  For this mani I used the Electra Magenta color...and mainly because I loved the name!  My brother had just suggested the Dio song, "Elektra," to me days before I saw this color so I knew I had to buy it and try it out that night!

I wasn't sure I was going to like this color but it is so pretty on!  I just love the way these Tronica colors sparkle in the sunlight!

And since I can't leave well enough alone I broke out my Konad and went to town.  Of course I added the top coat, "In A Hurry," before I did any stamping as usual...

I used the Konad plate M69 with the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polish in Silver Sweep to do the nail design.  I saw this plate on eBay and I HAD to have it.  It is the first plate in a long time that I actually paid full price for.

I then broke out the rhinestones I got off of eBay and my brush on nail glue.  I added two clear rhinestone to each nail.  I thought it gave the nails a little something extra...  Not that they needed anymore sparkle!

And there you have it ladies, I added a coat of Seche Vite and I was out the door.  Another quick and easy mani!

San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)

"If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair."  I absolutely LOVE this song by Scott McKenzie, at least once a week I play it on my way into work.  And after I saw the Chez Delaney plate with the 60s flowers on them, this song popped into my head and I knew I needed to do a mani with the flowers while listening to this song.

I started out with a base of my usual color for french tips, Girly by Orly.  I then used plate M19 from Konad and added french tips with Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri in Silver Sweep.  It didn't even occur to me until after I had already done the next step to start taking pictures!

I added the "In a Hurry" top coat before I went any further, just in case I screwed up with the stamping.  I go back in forth between really loving the Seche Vite and really loving the In A Hurry top coat.  Sometimes I'll use both in a single mani!  Anyways, I used China Glaze's For Audrey (my all time favorite color of theirs!) with one of my fauxnad plates B57.  I'm sure it's a knock-off of a Konad plate, I just don't know which one!  I got it on eBay for .99 cents so I don't really care either!  :)

I used my Chez Delaney plate D10 to do the flowers with the white special Konad polish.  I broke up the image and put different flowers in different places so none of the nails were exactly the same.

 

This is hands down one of my most favorite manicure I've ever done.  I got so many compliments on these nails, even from guys!  I think I kept them on for three days, which as you know if a lifetime for me!
