Essie Armed and Ready

Green is this year's color.  Looking for a new nail polish color, the greens are all a little too bright and candy inspired for me right now...  This new green is perfect!  It's an olive shade with a slight metallic edge.  oh i love this polish!

Nail Sticker Tutorial

I've had a lot of people tell me they still struggle with nail stickers...
Here is "the man" Tom Bachik giving a tutorial.  If you haven't heard of him before, he is the most sought after celebrity manicuristHe has the best back story.  Tom was an avid skateboarder, and started out as a graphic artist.  He custom painted helmets, etc. but his graphic arts company was struggling.  Married with a child on the way, he had heard that hairdressing was a great career.  After realizing the schooling was longer than he had time for, he decided on nails!  Loving a good competition, he won several awards in nail art, and the rest is history...

Feathered Nail

With some feathers from the craft store, I decided to go for DIY nail art...
I clipped a feather, added a dot of glue to add it to a nail, and a final top coat.  Too easy!

Top Coat

Nail art is here to stay.  It has made a presence at awards shows, and on the runways of fashion week.  Even if you can't take the plunge, you can have fun adding some creativity to at least one nail...  I love finding new products to make the process easier.  One of my friends told me about a new product I'm in love with.  It is a top coat which works like a gel coat!  For best results, all you have to do is let it set under a 60 watt bulb for 2 minutes.  Instant gratification!
