Happy New Year..... a month later...

 In no particular order, these are some of the creations I did since November..... yes, a rather slow update....

(Above: "Borrowed & Blue" by Essie... LOVE this color and don't think I'll ever get tired of it.  Just a simple mani. Below:  I can't remember the name of this particular polish, but the purple and sparkle polish were both O.P.I.)

Below is a Christmas "draft" with a bunch of ribbons (nail tape) and Santa's belt on the ring finger... It came out too messy for my liking so I took it all off after this. :(

Above:  Essie's "Tart Deco" a simple mani with a great color. 

After the Christmas "draft" above, I decided to do candy cane inspired nails

.  

Sparkle/dot mani with all Essie nail polishes.

 Above:  This one is the first layer of a nail tape mani I wanted to try (see below) with China Glaze's "Flip Flop Fantasy" and "Shocking Pink." Absolutely LOVE these neon colors!

Above: Bottom layer "Borrowed & Blue" with O.P.I. white nail polish with Essie's sparkle polish (sorry, don't have the names of the polishes with me at the moment.  Bottom: Simple "Lilacism" by Essie.

 And finally, my latest creation with the above bottom layer ("Flip Flop Fantasy" and "Shocking Pink") with a top layer of O.P.I.'s "Black Onyx."

Every Girl Needs a Little Glitter

Wanted a little sparkle in my nails:

For this design, I used O.P.I.'s "Austin-Tatious Turquoise" and "Gone Gonzo" glitter nail polish over Sally Hansen's "Mint Sorbet."

Since, I love to play basketball, yet still am not able to play due to a torn achilles, I still like to shoot around.  And shooting with long nails is just a big no-no because I can't stand the sound of nails scraping against the ball when it is released (plus, don't you find it more difficult to type with longer nails? Maybe it's just me.)  I used scotch tape to make lines straight and a dotting tool for the dotted lines.

The holidays are approaching fast!  I think I have some holiday nail designs that I want to try out pretty soon, so stay tuned! :)
