Orange You Glad It's Summer

I wanted something bright and cheerful for the summer especially since I've been under the weather (hence no recent posts!) This is a beautiful red/orange color I got in a swap, I layered glitter polish on top and then added flowers. 

Polish: Essence What do you think?

 I did my mom's nails a couple days later with pink polish and brown stamp, very cute!

pink and polka dots

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.

black and white floral half moon

I really wanted to do another half moon manicure cause its been a while and I thought one wtih stamps would be fun. You just put those binder reinforcements on each of your nails over the cuticle and leave it there while you paint two coats of white polish. Stamp when the polish is dry and then peel off the sticker last. Once its completely dry add the top coat, you can see some smear marks on my flowers. That's because I didn't wait long enough. Make sure you don't touch the nail with the brush either.

This is a fun pattern that could double for stars if you wanted to do like a fourth of july design hmmm Ill keep that in mind :)

Polish: Wet N' Wild French White Creme
