Spring Flowers

 This manicure was so delicate and springy, it was much brighter in person than it photographed.  I love this color, even if it brings out the redness in my skin.

Spring Bow Nails

I just picked this bow charm up at Skyline Beauty and I love it! Its so cute and girlie!! 
China Glaze Glistening Snow
China Glaze Cons-ulta My Manicurist

So this blue China Glaze is super pretty! A great spring blue shade… but the formula… yikes.. Of all of the China Glaze polishes that I have/have tried this is by far the WORST! Thin, patchy, pools in the cuticles and dries down to a weird satiny finish…. Just not a fan.. even though the color is stunning.

Saturday Spam- Glitter Accents

This used to be my go-to mani style and for some reason I really haven't gravitated towards it much lately… I dunno why. I still thing it is a super classy way to rock glitter though.

St. Patrick's Day Chevrons

Y'all, I love St. Patrick's Day!! I love green and Ireland (not that I've been, but I'm dying to go) and all the fun that goes into it! I work at an elementary school and the little leprechauns certainly do visit and wreak havoc for St. Patrick's Day, and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

Early St. Patrick's Day Manis

Here are 2 of my pre-St. Patrick's Day manis that I've worn this past week. Enjoy :)

I've seen this shamrock water marble all over instagram lately and I wanted to give it a try.  I'm gonna call this one beginners luck, because I tried to do it on my right hand and it turned into a green blob :(

Neon Watermarble

Neon watermarbles have been all the rage lately, so when I saw these awesome Color Club polishes I knew I had to try them.  They marble so easily!! I'm definitely going to be picking up more Color Club creme polishes to use for water marbles. 

This mani was inspired by the shirt I wore for Valentine's Day celebrations at work.

Holographic Mermaid Nails

I have a long standing love of all things mermaid, so when I saw these mermaid scale nail vinyls from Nails_redesigned, I knew I had to have them.  I love the idea of them, but I have pretty small and thin nails so they don't show much of the design… but I still love this mani so much.

And just for fun, a shot of my base colors- Angel Kiss and At Vase Value.

I think I may be converting to a linear holo fan… not gonna say lover yet, but I'm definitely becoming a fan :)
