All shapes and sizes of rhinestone. Mostly acrylic and, but occasionally swarovski and other shapes like shells, squares, and flowers.
Check out the nail decoration tag to see any nail art with 3D elements added (nail studs, rhinestones, half pearls, nail charms or caviar beads).
I actually posted this mani last year and saw, too late, a gingerbread mani by Megan (@two.peas.and.polish). It had an element in it that I wanted to steal so bad. I even mentioned it at the end of the 1.0 gingerbread blog post. I’ve embedded her Insta post below the Read More
Today’s nail art is supposed to mainly use Pantone’s lovely forest green shade: Eden. I have had to paint this one three different times. The first color I picked was too dark so I decided to try again. The second one (this one) is too light, but I decided to Read More
[press sample] I went pink today with as much Halloween cuteness as possible. And what could be better than piling on iridescent glitter and some review items from Beauty BigBang: mermaid sequins in the form of stars and moons (J9735), opal rhinestones (J4197-5C) and a rhinestone glue gel to keep Read More
No review today since all the items from Beauty BigBang were used in yesterday’s design. That said, I thought it was important to post two different designs since there were 12 different kinds of rhinestone in the grid. So today’s look sports the golden heart and round rhinestones with a Read More
[press sample] Orange is definitely not the one of the colors I reach for most. But today’s shade is actually a favorite. It reminds me of an orange glitter polish that I used up long before I started this blog. (I think it’s the only polish I used up pre-blog Read More
I’m back with one of my recreations of last year’s designs that I wasn’t happy with. I’ve skipped around to return to a purple magnetic polish look that I made to express my thankfulness on how much I enjoy painting nails with my stepdaughter who often asks for Halloween stamps. Read More
Confession time! I’ve had this set of glitter polishes for several years and I have never used it. Which is why it’s in its original packaging with a sexy discount sticker. $.33 a bottle is still a loss if you never use the polish. No, wait. I’m sure I can Read More
When I purchased Essie’s “Toggle to the Top” I thought it was the perfect polish to represent berry pie filling. It’s this dark raspberry color packed with glitter and so yummy. I must do pie nails with this, I thought. On Pi Day. So for the past two Pi Days Read More
Just a simple nail art today while I’m getting ready to paint my nails. I turned this one in for #WhenColoursCollide’s Green/Black prompt. I am pleased because this means I’ve used 3/6 of my new magnetic polishes now. I also had a chance to try out one of China Glaze’s Read More
Sometimes I forget that different challenges have different turnaround times for releasing the collage of participants. And since you’re not supposed to post your nail art until it’s done, well, this was a bad combination of challenges. I combined #TheInspirationChallenge with #26GreatNailArtIdeas (3D Embellished). This is probably the first and Read More
