OK..I have to admit..I am addicted to nail polish!

Well, some of you blog friends have seen some of my fun nail designs. it all started when Ginger came over and we did the “Fruit Stripe Fingernails” Well, thanks to the amazing Seche Vite top coat that ginger introduced me to, I am now a little obsessed with painting my nails! LOL. Really, for me, being a busy Mom with my hands in the water doing dishes and cleaning bathrooms…Oh so glamorous LOL none of these nail art designs I do would be worth the time if I did not have this top coat. And believe me, I have tried lots of them. Nothing works like this! Not only does it seal your polish and make it last, it also dries almost instantly, really like in seconds.  it’s amazing. I can put on this top coat and its dry enough to dig thru my purse for a hot wheel in seconds! And no, they don’t pay me to say this! haha. I buy it at the drugstore just like everyone else! I use a good base coat too. Both of these things help keep my polish from chipping right off!

So, let’s get right to the fun stuff..the nail designs. Here are a few of the designs I have done in the past month.

Clouds and Sun.

And here is the design I did today. Black, Pink and White. The right hand.

And the left hand.

Ya, so, I know, I might be having a little too much fun. But, oh my nails look so cute! Yes, I do these manicures early in the morning before anyone else is awake. It’s my “Me” time Smile All of us mom’s need a little “Me” time don’t you think!

Now, my Pinterest board is getting full of nail art ideas. I am watching nail art videos on You tube…I can’t stop!

I hope you enjoy my nail art, because you know I’m gonna be sharing them all on my blog! If you have any great ideas share them!

I might even put step by step tutorials if ya-all are interested Smile Let me know what you wanna see!

Have a super day!

all those nailz are sooo kewl Julie! You and Ginger rock! When you said you were addicted to nail polish, it kinda sounds like you're taking it like a drug, lol! I guess it is kind of a drug when it's something you enjoy doing! (but in a good way!)

Jodi said...

I have a question. Are those your real nails? Ginger too. Cause there is no way my nails would ever look that nice if they weren't acrylic.

Julie said...

Yes, Jodi. They are both of our real nails. :) No acrylic for us. Just our natural nails. I guess we are lucky, but really all the painting makes them stronger. The length they are right now is as long as I will let them grow. I dont like real long nails.

Julie said...

Rachel, there is a tut to the water swirl one on my blog.
