Hello Nail Surfers..

 Welcome to My Beach

Today I have a Mani to share with you that I did some layering of images.
I did an orange gradient, which you can clearly tell below..lol
I personally like accent nails. I feel it helps break things up a bit and brings more attention to the whole Mani.
They're times tho that I don't do one either.
Same thing goes with matte polish.Some Mani's just look better matte while other rock the shinny

SURFS UP.....

"Butterfly Art"
I used Mash Plates found here
Mash 28,43,46
I had a heck of a time finding an orange that would stamp over my base and be bold.
I literally had 10 different oranges I tried. Konad was to brownish orange and my other colors
just seemed to neon.Have you ever noticed its hard to find the true basic colors.
I want real Red and real Orange and etc..These real colors (basics) seem to only come out during the holidays. Other wise known as seasonally polish.

I hope You enjoyed my wave of art and 
Thank You for coming to My Beach.

Art,Art and More Art

Hello Nail Surfers...

     Welcome to the Beach.

  I am sorry I have not posted on a daily basics. My goal is 3-4 times a week. I am always on FB you can find me Here and also on my Fan Page Here. I also post all my work on Pinterest too. Found Here.
 I completely understand if you do not do FB. I'll still be here to on my blog. :)  I am usually on my Ipad and I can not upload my pics from that.
 About a month ago I got an ImagiNail Art printer. I finally took it out of the box and hooked it all up. Yes its great and yes I love it. But I still really prefer to stamp and do free hand art. Am I crazy? You can use any image any design your little heart desires. Anything on Google,your personal photos ,anything you can imagine   its possible. Its a very fast process too, like seconds.Clean tho it not easy and the ink stains your skin and any exposed nail plate. I am really debating on sending it back because of these issues. Its not a cheap machine to be sitting around collected dust either.And it has to be used atleast 2X a week or the ink will dry up. The ink can be bought at any store that sell printer ink , however the special polish and IRC coatings is all special order. I have ups and downs on this machine. I have not practiced much with it either to make such a decision on true quality.Other than that I have been painting and arting my nails like crazy.
Today's pics are Mani's I have done recently.

HIGH TIDE WARNING!!!!

Of course I wanted to test my abilities and use different colors.

The Official EyE Test

Hello Nail Surfers,

 Today I have a mani to share with you that really looks like eyes looking back at you. I really Love using these plates.They stamp perfect every-time and as you can see they have great full nail coverage. 
She has so many plates to pick from. I want them all . One thing I have noticed about her plates is that they are very unique plates. No dupes here. And I love that plus she makes new plates more often than other plate company's.Shipping is fast and  packaged very well. Oh and OMG she has stamping polish. So need those too..

SURFS UP.....


I  used Funky Fingers White,Wet`nWild Black and Sinful Black.

Pretty in Pink

Hello Nail Surfers,

How are you all doing? I'm good. (: Just painted away here.. I really need to pace myself out more.
But who we kidding here? That's just not me (:  I have lots to share with you still. Today I'm going to share some Pink nails. Pink is my ultimate favorite color than Black and well, I cant leave out the other colors now. I Like all  the colors. 
When I stamp I like to use images that have been over looked. Its a challenge at times but it's fun. I still do the traditional images too but love to add twists to them. Some turn out and some don't. I post even my fails.And will tell you why I feel it failed and how or what i should of done definitely .  I'll even redo the fail mani just so I feel better. Nobody likes showing the failed attempt. I take it personally and tell myself I could do better, I should of done better, and than I achieve my mani better. Plus  its more practicing. My cuticles and I don't always agree.And you will see that too. I'm not a pro, nor a professional licensed technician  I do housework and yard work too. My nails take a beating too. I use to always bite my nails. Then I'd bite the skin around my nails. I no longer do either but I do have a love-hate relationship going on with my cuticles.
Habits are hard to break and in time my goal is to have nice and pretty cuticles (:

Hello Nail Surfers,

  How are you doing theses days? Are you getting impatient waiting for Cheeky? . I am. L.O.L
If it wasn't for new new squishy stamper alot of the images would not fit me proper. So I am in need of these bigger full nail designs. Today I did a mani thats very girly/tropical/ summery. Now please keep in mind this is just a sample set and the images are not perfected.

I used Funky Fingers White as a base 
and CG Purple Panic (neon) on accent
IP-Cheeky #50
