Dexter Nails

Cara's Nails

Tonight is the premier of the 7th season of Dexter! I've been a huge fan since the first season. All week I look forward to an hour long panic attack!! This is an old mani from last season's premier. But I thought I'd give it a second look. What do you think? 

Baltimore Ravens Nails - Week 4

Kate's Nails

If you tuned in to last week's Ravens/Patriots game, you got to see one hell of a game!  It was a very close one, and all came down to a barely-made field goal.  That field goal inspired today's nails.  Since I did these nails last night, I didn't know that the regular refs would be back, or else I would have done celebratory NFL Referee nails!  Maybe next week...

Sorry for the terrible picture.  I was a bit rushed this morning!

Baltimore Orioles Nails

Last night we went to the Orioles game with a group of co-workers.  Even though the Orioles lost to the Blue Jays, we had a lot of fun.  Here is the nail art we did for the occasion!

Kate's Nails

For the black nails and the "O", I used China Glaze's Liquid Leather .  The baseball is Sinful Color's Snow Me White and Wet N Wild's Red Red. The orange nail is a mix of Sinful Color's Big Daddy and Sally Hansen's Sun Kissed.

It wouldn't be a game in Baltimore without BOH! I used Black is Back from Essence for the black nails. My middle nail is 9.0.2.1.Orange from Wet and Wild. I used acrylic paint to the dotted lines and Boh's features.

Baltimore Ravens - Week 3

Kate's Nails

Tonight on Sunday Night Football the Ravens take on the New England Patriots.  The last time we faced the Patriots, we had a heartbreaking loss in the AFC Championship.  It was a tough way to end the season last year, and I'm glad that we get a rematch this year!  I'm especially glad that we get to face the Patriots in Baltimore this time.  The Ravens have won 11 straight home games, and hopefully tonight will make it 12!!

For this week's nails, I did a fishtail design.  I first saw this design on Amber Did It when she did Ravens nails for her NFL series (check them out, she's awesome!).  I tried it last football season, and knew that I wanted to try it again.  This design is actually pretty easy, once you figure it out.  Amber has a link on her post to a good tutorial.  It was also much easier this year now that I have a gold that covers in one coat!  I used a new color for my football nail this week, thanks to Ulta's recent Butter London sale.  Loving my new polishes!

Let's go Ravens!!

Essie Good as Gold

Rosie Lee Gradient

Cara's Nails

I'm continuing with my exploration of Butter London polishes. I'm behind on the times I know. I was in the mood for something glittery and bold this time.So I ended up with this dramatic pink gradient over a dark dark green. 

I used Rosie Lee(adorable name) from Butter London sponged overtop of Styleconimcs from Essie. 

Halogram V-Gaps

Cara's Nails

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am totally in love with Dodgy Barnett from Butter London! Here is the fun halo under a coat of Zoya's Kelly. 

 I have notice the halogram trend all over recently. But I wasn't quite sure how I felt about it. Especially because the price of a halo polish is somewhere in the range of $15.  I can't force myself to pay that for a gimmicky polish. I have to admit I am really happy with this polish and it was worth every penny!!! What is your take on halo polishes?

The Scottish Polish

Ulta recently had a buy one get one free sale on Butter London polishes.  I had never tried any of their polishes before, because I just couldn't justify spending $14 per bottle on my teacher budget.  But damn if I didn't eye them up every time I went into Ulta!  Macbeth is one that I've been ogling for quite a while, so when Ulta announced their sale, I knew it had to be mine!  The formula is great with this color.  It's a solid two coater that dried darker and nicely covered up the nail line.  I've paired it here with Sally Hansen's Coral Reef and Diamonds. I'm so glad that I finally got to give Macbeth a try!
