monday nail art challenge-floral 6/27

I recently joined this awesome group on Facebook called Polish-aholics Anonymous a ton of ladies swapping polish ideas, needless to say its awesome. Every Monday there is a nail art challenge with a different theme. For this Monday is floral so here is my design. I used my dotting tool for the first time for the flower petals and it didn't come out too bad. For the center I took a tiny piece of glitter and put it right in the center. Very girly, I like it!

Polish: OPI Steady As She Rose
Wet n' Wild French White Creme
Sally Girl 812070 (gold glitter for center of the flower)
Essie Good To Go topcoat

new nail art supplies

Ok so I havent been posting EVERYTHING I have been buying lately, partly cause my camera crapped out right after I started this blog...and partly because I dont want people thinking I spend my whole paycheck on nail supplies $$$ I know I'm not the only one with this sickness, so I continue on :)

From Sally Beauty Supply I got these glitter polishes for .99 cents each! They have a ton of colors so if you are just getting into nail art and want to expand our polish collection but don't want to spend a ton of money on polish these little guys are for you. They look small but have a ton of application in them and if you run out, they are only $1.

I got these large heart rhinestones from another beauty supply by my house, I really like them.

I was at the mall over the weekend and they have a Hello Kitty store so I stopped in and got these stickers along with a photo album, Im going to try and keep all my designs in there, Ill post that when Ive figured out how Im going to do it.

Playing with polish does leave my cuticles dry and Im on the hunt for a god cuticle oil so I picked this one up. I like the way it smells so hopefully Ive found something that works. Im going to start applying it everyday and see how it does.

This is a super fun manicure that was inspired by a blogger named Cosmetic Cupcake, so I ran with her idea and did a little color variation and this is what I came up with!

OK so there was a lot of polish involved in this manicure.
