Peppermint Swirl Nail Art

These are 100% inspired by the gorgeous and super sweet Gianna over at Nailstorming.  I loved her simple peppermint swirl nails so much, I knew I had to try it for myself!

Gray Jelly Sandwich + Metallics

I recently did this super easy nail art. It required no tape, no dotting tools, and no paint brushes.  See - super easy!

Sometimes life gets busy, sometimes I get burnt out.  Sometimes I just don't feel like painting my nails.  *GASP* Yes, it's true.  Sometimes I just don't feel like painting my nails at all.  When I get into these funks, I find some polishes I haven't used in a while and I do something really easy.

Alas, from my funk I give you a gray jelly sandwich + metallics.

Grey Skies & Daisies

Happy First Day of Spring!  I hope the weather starts to act more like Spring.  I'm lucky that I live in the south so we don't get any snow, but it has been way too cold here this winter.  I'm so ready for HOT HOT HOT!

These nails remind me of a grey, rainy sky (which we have had a lot of lately!).  The daisies are for a nail art challenge on Instagram.  I thought the two concepts went pretty well together.

Polishes Used: Loaded Lacquer Toasted Marshmallow, Loaded Lacquer Mintallica, acrylic paint for the flower, and OPI I Just Can't Cope-Acabana for the center of the flower.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Loaded Lacquer Jelly Sammich

I finally did it! Its not my first jelly sammich ever (I'm talking about nails, but its kinda making me hungry....) but it is my first jelly sammich using Loaded Lacquer polishes!

I used Loaded Lacquer Island Punch and 40 Below to achieve this look.  If you don't know anything about Loaded Lacquer Jiggles, see my previous blog post!  I used a base coat, 2 coats of Island Punch, 1 coat of 40 Below, another layer of Island Punch, and top coat.

Diffused Artificial Light

Direct Artificial Light

I just love the way this looks! I can't wait to try other combinations! I may even need to add a few more jiggles to my collection :)  

I later mattified this mani and added chevron accents.
