Feathered
One of my favorite things to embed in my acrylic is feathers! It's actually fairly simple too do and it looks so neat when you're done. The one I have pictured below I did a french white with a copper glitter fade. I then layered the feather into the acrylic.

Monarch Butterfly
I have seen this done on the web and wanted to give it a shot myself. I love butterflies and dragonflies! Here's my take on it. I used 2 coats of LA Colors Shock, 1 coat Wet n' Wild Fast Dry Orange, NYC French White, LA Colors Black Art Deco and topped it off with Pure Ice Oh Baby.
I'm gonna try this on my nails this weekend!
LadyBugs!
I bought a new red polish today and decided too do some fun ladybug nail art. Being it's summer time I felt like this was a great oportunity too try it. My camera is freaking out on me so please forgive the photo lol.
I had a lot of fun trying this!

Lacey Nails
I did these a couple months ago. I embedded the lace into the acrylic. I did a pink glitter fade on them too. I really am happy with the finished product although my photography needs a bit of tweaking! One day I will get the hang of it:)

Fimo!!
Not long ago I ordered some fimo canes off of Amazon. I absolutely love them! There are so many great desgins and I can get countless slices off each cane. The ones I purchased were about $5.00 and well worth that! So far I have only embedded them in the acrylic.
Here's a shot of the canes. They are about 2 inches long.
I used some pink gliiter acrylic I mixed and added some pretty flowers.
This is a white french with a green glitter fade with fruit fimos.
Here's one with a skull and crossbones. Kinda emo like I guess lol.
Tropical Escape
I'm so in need of a vacation!! This inspired me to try and do a tropics sunset nail. I got out my practise finger, loving known as my creeper finger, and came up with this. I used a light yellow base and then sponged on a red. I stamped on a palm tree and added some black for the island and added a little bird. Topped it off with Pure Ice Oh Baby.
If you can't go to the island, bring the island to you!

Bubble Gum & Grape Soda
Here's a pic of what I have on today. I used EzFlow's Bubble Gum and Grape Soda. Hubby picked up the cute decals for me! He's always thinking of me..gotta love him! ♥
These are a few days old and work is never easy on them , time for another topcoat!
Have a good one!
My first sets!
The following pics are from over a year ago. These are some of my first sets using a quality product, instead of the stuff from WallyWorld, and quality makes a ton of difference!
This was my first time using colored acrylic, learning to form a smile line is a challenge but I don't think I did too horrible. I used EzFlow in Bubble Gum pink, this one of my favs!
This was one of my first times mixing glitter into my acrylic. I took my silver nail art paint and painted lines on the smile line area.
This set was for around Valentine's. I did the french white and added some chunky pink glitters and then encased them in clear acrylic.
This set is probably one of my favorites. It's a basic white french...before the white acrylic sets I took some small tubing ( the kind you use for a fish tank) and I made impressions with it. After the white sets I then filled the impressions with various colored acrylics, then filed them, buffed and topcoated them. These were a lot of fun to wear!
More too come!! Have a great day!!!
Welcome!!!
Thanks for taking a look at my blog! The main purpose of this blog is just to share things I have learned from other bloggers and nail art enthusiasts. I am not a professional, I'm just someone who loves pretty nails and loves finding new fun ways to make them pretty. I love acrylic nails and have been doing my own now for some time. I also love doing fun things with polish and glitters and even feathers lol! I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy doing them.
