:headdesk:

Well, I didn't finish on time.  :(  I had planned to do them all and catch up over the weekend.  When that didn't happen, I had a feeling (I'm a SAHM with 2 kids) that I wouldn't finish because I am lucky to get one on manicure per hand per day. 

So anyway, enjoy the ones I *did* finish.  :D

Day 7 Tape Manicure

Ok.  I really don't like tape manicures.  Not the look...that, I LOVE.  But I really get nervous about the tape. If I do more than one hand at a time, I forget which way I put them on and THEN--BOOM!

Yeah...so I was hesitant. Then I thought--WTHeck?!  I can do simple and then it won't matter!

SO here it goes...turns out...I really like this!  :D

I love dotticures.  They were the first ones that I attempted. However, I am a bit out of practice.

A friend said that I am my own worst critic. 

So here ya go...see what you think...

Day 4 Love Letters

Ok, So I decided to go literal with this one...check it out!





^^This was my first attempt.
 
 
 

^^This was my second attempt.
 
Yeah...I messed up BOTH of them during this stage of waiting for them to dry.  >:(

The Orly Decades of Dysfunction DOES NOT DRY WELL NOT HOLD UP WELL FOR NAIL ART.  In any form...whether it is a base coat or an accent color, as I used it here.  It takes For-Ever to dry. GRR!

Day 3 Kisses!

Ok, so I was trying to decide how to go about doing kisses.  So I searched YouTube to see what my favorite variation would be.  Since I am not a great stamper, I decided not to go that route.

Here is what I came up with:

Day 2 Hearts

I love Orly...


I love how this turned out, so I decided to use it here.

I used:

Orly Miss Conduct for the base coat
OPI White Shatter for the hearts.

No, I did not use the plastic tutorial version.  These are hand-drawn/hand-painted hearts. 

Like or dislike?  I think it turned out well!

Day 1 Red OR Pink

Well, I decided to be the over-achiever here and do both.  LOL! 




I used:
China Glaze Pink Voltage for the 4 pink nails
China Glaze Berry & Bright for the red accent nail
Overlay: Wonder Beauty Products One Dozen Rose Bouquet

Simple, yet awesome color combo.
