Birthday Theme

So yeah, tomorrow I will be turning the big 3-0. Not very excited about it but what am I gonna do? Maybe I should give myself a nice camera for my birthday so I can take nicer pictures :) We'll see.. Anyway, here are my birthday design colors:

1 Coat of OPI Over the Taupe
French tip with OPI Sparkle-icious
Made bows with LA Colors Art Deco ;)

Thanks for taking this pic Julie! :)

PS. I am back to acrylic for the moment since I totally fried my UV lamp today :(

Pink n Purple Polka Dots (Tammy)

My very first post... :)he-he

My nails are wrapped in acrylic in this picture, since I have been experimenting with all of that because my nails ALWAYS break if not wrapped. But since then I have changed to gel and I am in love. I think acrylic is harder to apply.
Anyway, that day I was in the mood for dots. I hadn't really tried to do it and didn't really know how to but the first thing that came to my head was tooth picks. I applied one coat of Nailtiques Nail Protein Formula 2, two coats of pink (I had just got it from Julie :)). I cut the tip off the tooth pick because I wanted a decent size dot, put some purple nail polish on a napkin and dipped the tooth pick in it. It took me a couple of dot mess ups to get it right but I liked the end result. After a day and a nail accident, I decided to reverse the colors on the index fingernail. I actually liked it better this way.

Colors:
Pink: China Glaze - Strawberry Fields
Purple: Eva - Purple (Didn't use a big name nail polish.)

Sorry for the crappy pic but don't have a really good camera yet ;)
