nail salon : Koala Bear Nail Art

Today, nail salon went to the Zoo. Today, I have a Koala for You!

I have always loved Koala's and decided to take an online trip to the zoo ( what did we do before *Al Gore invented the Internet ?). I learned so much about Koala's.

A baby Koala is called a Joey, so I named my bear Joey too. The Koala is a Marsupial and in native to Australia. For more information about Koala's visit the San Diego Zoo's website .

Nail Polish: China Glaze

Recycle : The gray background used for the Koala's body

Innocence: The pale pick color used for the Koala's cheeks

Liquid Leather : Black ,White on White : White ,Dotting Tool: I used a dotting tool for the eyes.

nail salon and the Piggy : Nail Art

The Princess was feeling real Jiggy ,after dancing all night with a piggy.

So, when she got home and was all alone she painted her nails ..Do you diggy?

Nail Polish Brand: China Glaze

white: white on white

black : liquid leather

pale pink: innocence

dark pink: shocking pink

nail salon : Goldfish Nail Tutorial

Goldfish : Nail Tutorial

China Glaze Polish

Blue: Sky High -Top

Yellow: Solar Power

White: White on White

Step 1: My nails have been primed with base coat and painted with the blue background color.

Step 2: Using the yellow polish, I painted a half circle around the edge of the nail.

Step 3: Using the dotting tool ,apply two drops of yellow polish to the top of the half circle.

Step 4:Using the large dotting tool apply one drop of white polish for the eyes. Using the small dotting tool apply white dots to the background.

Step5: Using the small dotting tool apply black on the white dot for the eyeball.

Step 6: Using the stripe brush outline the goldfish and draw a smile line for the mouth. Clean edges of nails , apply cuticle oil and top coat.

Recommendations: The goldfish nails require a lot of nail polish. I recommend allowing extra drying time and/or using a nail dryer. If you don't have a nail dryer you can use a hair dryer on an air setting. You can add a fun dotted nail (as pictured) . I think this would be cute if you did the fish in different colors or if you added rhinestones to the eyes. Sometimes, I paint glitter on the designs but, sometimes glitter interferes with the nail design. The choice is yours....Be creative and have fun! Please let me know if you were able to create this design. I would love to see it.
note: This is my first tutorial , if you have any suggestions please let me know.

nail salon ..Bears in the Woods, Nail Art

The Princess took a stroll in the woods, to get some fresh air.

When all of a sudden, she ran into a BEAR!

Luckily, for me it was a really sweet little brown full of honey!

These nails may look complex but, they were actually quite easy to paint. I am going to post some step by step nail tutorials soon. If you have something you want to see in particular please leave me your comment .

nail salon enjoyed a cloudy day...

The Princess wanted to go out and play ,
But, today was such a cloudy day,
She stayed inside and painted away.......



I wanted to go to the park today but, it was cold outside. So, I packed up my polish and went to my parents house. I sat outside in the garden with The Queen ( my mom) and watched why did I get married by Tyler Perry . Its the Queens current favorite movie so, in the past month we've watched in TEN TIMES. As, I sat in the garden watching the clouds. I painted these nails.

nail salon...Strawberry Nail Art

The princess wanted something sweet , she went to garden for a strawberry treat. When she was finished , when she was done. She had eaten all the strawberries, all except ONE!...........



I used CHINA GLAZE's Rose among thorns ( I know, I really need to venture out to some other brands) to paint the cute little strawberries. I used a green stripe rite for the stem . I used some glitter polish only on the strawberries ( hard to see.....looks like sugar) and painted the nail bed with clear polish by she. Sweet!

nail salon and The Pink Ladybug: Nail Art

...nail salon was excited, the gardener just shrugged, when he brought in the morning flowers they were filled with pink ladybugs!.....

I love pink ( what princess doesn't )! I decided to paint ladybugs but, wanted to put my own twist on them, so I used pink voltage by China Glaze ( what's new). I thinks kids and adults would love this mani. I know when I go out people are always stopping me and telling me how cool they look. I am a licensed manicurist and while I love acrylics, I enjoy working more with natural nails. A lot of people think they only way to decorate their nails are with acrylics but , I believe you can have really cute natural nails.

Lots of Dots ! Nail Art

Lots of Dots: Today, I felt like dots..... So, I selected 6 colors by CHINA GLAZE and painted each nail a different color. I used my dotting tool to add the dots and clear topcoat by POSHE

China Glaze Colors
1.Salsa
2.Purple Panic
3.Spontaneous
4.Pink Voltage
5.Orange Knockout
6.White on White



I really LOVED this look and believe me I received so many complements. I had another idea and wanted the lots of dots in the French Tip Style. So , I repainted my nails and painted my toes.

Fashion Binge Has A Baby ...Post!

We had a baby POST, silly! Check out these adorable kiddie picks that make me wish that they came in my size. (You thought I was gonna say that I wished I had a kid, right? HELLS No! Then I wouldn't be able to afford cute stuff for ME!)

First of all, Phillip Lim just unveiled his kiddie collection, and it's SO fucking precious, I could just shat.

(Photo via Oh Joy!)

OMG. The little yellow Paddington-style jacket and those wee grey tights! Cuter than 23 kittens in a little yarn basket! What I really wish is that Phil (we're tight) made this stuff in adult sizes at KID prices!

($38, C & C California)

Unbelivably adorable (Via BabySugar.com) Why do kids get the good stuff though? They don't even have brains advanced enough to appreciate the cuteness of an all-over car print! Please make this in my size, lest I suffer the indignity of trying to squeeze my womanly chest into a 6T.

($36, C&C California)

Again, unbearable cuteness! (Note to my mother if she is reading this: No, this isn't an open invitation to talk to me about the joys of motherhood and how awesome it is to have kids. So help me God, bring that up over Thanksgiving and I'll purposely burn the turkey. Bring it up AFTER Thanksgiving, and I'll be on the next flight back to New York!)
