Baltimore Ravens Training Camp Nails

Kate's Nails

I am a HUGE Baltimore Ravens football fan, and today they hosted an open practice not far from my house.  Obviously, I had to do nails for the occasion!  During the football season, I do different Ravens themed nails for every game.  Recently I ordered some nail decals of the Ravens logo.  The logo is really detailed, and there's no way I could hand paint it on my nails (believe me, I've tried).  The decal was super easy to use, and I love how it looks!  You can buy the decals HERE. 

Polishes Used:

Wet N Wild Buffy the Violet Slayer

Ulta Taupe on a Rope

Sonia Kashuk Chocoholic

Sinful Colors Snow me White



Stained Glass

Cara's Nails

I have been struggling to come up with anymore summer manicure ideas. Then I thought what is a better place to find inspiration than on a bathing suit!! This particular suit has a fun geometric pattern filled with cool colors. The pattern sort of mimics a stained glass window. The base is Mojito Madness from Essie. It's a beautiful crisp green color. 

Sunflower Nails

In YESTERDAY'S POST we asked for your suggestions or ideas for nail art (if you have an idea, share it with us and we'll try and make it happen!!).  A fellow teacher suggested that, since we are almost at the end of summer vacation (I don't want to talk about it...), we should do some summer themed nails.  One of the suggestions was sunflowers.  I'm pretty happy with how these came out.  What do you think??

Polishes Used:

Zoya Farah

Ulta Sun-Sational

Sonia Kashuk Chocoholic

Ulta Taupe on a Rope



Help us out, please!!

So I'm sitting here staring at all my nail supplies, and I have NO IDEA what design I should do! So many polishes, so many supplies, and I've got nothing.  So, I thought I would ask you all for some ideas.  What nail art would you like to see? Certain colors? Patterns?  Any designs that you'd like a tutorial for? Some crazy design idea that you want to see us try and pull off? Leave a comment with an idea, and when I have nail block, I'll take one of your suggestions :)

Konad Stamping Manicure

Kate's Nails

Tonight's manicure features a stamp from Konad's plate m63.  I haven't done a full stamping manicure in a while.  Yesterday I tried stamping an accent nail with the gold I just bought from Essie's Mirror Metallics collection, and I loved it.  So today, when Cara and I made an impromptu polish shopping trip to Walgreens, I picked up Essie's No Place Like Chrome, which is the silver color from the Mirror Metallics.  I stamped it over Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's Coral Reef and Ulta's Maine Attraction.  Cara has owned Coral Reef for a while, and I've been eyeing it up (especially when she used it in THIS DESIGN) , so I finally picked it up today.  Doing this manicure makes me want to buy Bundle Monster's 2012 plate collection and try some new stamping designs!



Zoya Ivanka

Kate's Nails

I bought Zoya's Ivanka a month or two ago, but hadn't used it. Now that I've tried it, I am completely in love with this glitter polish!! It goes on beautifully, and covers in two coats. The color changes depending on the light. Sometimes its a green teal, other times its a rich emerald. I bling'd up this manicure with some gems from Michael's. Love it!
