Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles

Just a quick post before I leave today! Ive been so busy at my new position that I dont have much time to do my nails... blahhhhhh. BUTTT it is almost my birthday (16 days and counting) and I am sure I will get tonsssss of new polishes for you guys to see.

I started out by painting all of my nails yellow with Pippa.. and then used my speedy top coat to hurry along the process..
After that polish was dry.. I used Robyn to create a half moon on my nail and then to paint my entire ring finger....
FINALLLLLLLYYY after that was dry.. I added a few dots with my handy dandy dotting tool.

............................. Sealed it with my speedy top coat.. and VOILA. a simple summer mani... I thought it screammmeeddd summer time. Y'all like it???? Hope so!

xoxo - Summer

Like I Mean It - Stars Go Dim (harry potter nails)

Well, tonight is the midnight premiere of the final harry potter movie. I wont be attending... because Im a grown up now. bummer. But I thought I could do something simple to celebrate - I know Alexis is going to be doing HP nails and I am sure hers will be better than these.... since this was a last minute attempt. but they turned out ok!

You Lie - The Band Perry (my nails are famous! sorta)

HIIII Y'ALLLL!!! It's me again, Summer.

Today was a blah day for me.. but something exciting DID happen. THE BAND PERRY tweeted a picture of my nails!!! Highlight of my day! I really do love their music ANNNND they are the biggest success story to come from my hometown of Greeneville, TN.

This is the picture that they tweeted!!!

I have been seeing ALOT of subtle stamping.. so I thought it might be fun to try subtle dotting...

This really is one of the most simple mani's that anyone could do.. but its really cute...dontcha think?
I got this color on sale at sally's for a dollar at their sidewalk sale and im actually really glad i did.. This is everything that I used. super simple. The purple finger paints is alot darker than this picture shows.. its a DEEEEEP purple.. but completely opaque in one coat.

Earlier in the day I thought about doing an ombre but didn't really want to put in the effort of mixing the colors.. I now. Lazy. but still... So I just did a comparison of the purples that I had at work. The polish is in front of the corresponding nail. Surprisingly.. I think my favorite is the Jolly Rancher random scented purple polish.. it was a little hard to remove but it was REALLLLY pretty in person.

Shape Of My Heart - Backstreet Boys

First of all - excuse my nails. Im going back to my natural nail from acrylic so theyre suffering a little.

I saw this manicure on a blog, i cant remember which, but i will find it later and post a link. Gotta give credit where credits due, eh?

i love em tho, aren't they adorbs? i made the hearts with a dotting tool and it was suprisingly easy.. like.. anyone could do it lol

Every color i used was China Glaze, except the yellow and it was Sally Hansen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What The Hell - Avril Lavigne

ITS CINCO DE MAYO!!!!!!!!!!! wooohoooo!

i wanted to redo my nails for today because well.... just because. My friend Spen'sar - another nail polish addict - let me use her nail polish for this one. but all i kept thinking was "what the hell am i gonna do to my nails?" sooo thats where the song came from LOL!

i just started with a white base and used my dotting tool to create the dots - i started with black and did them in straight dotted lines and finished with several different colors that i dotted randomly around.

i dont have the exact name of the polish that i used since it wasnt mine... but i know all of it except one was china glaze :)

like it or leave it?

She Aint You - Chris Brown

So for Easter my madre gave me an acrylic nail kit - with everything i would need to start practicing on how to do those... i know, my mom is awesome right? right.

Anyways, i used an opal tip and then used white acrylic powder - because i like to paint my nails and i figured if i did this i wouldnt have to use a base coat.

this is the result of my 2nd attempt.. i must say.. i did waaay better than expected. a few of my friends who go to have theirs professionally done said that they looked great for a 2nd attempt and want me to do their fill ins! hahaha

what do you all think? would you let me near your nails with acrylic?! hahah :) In this picture the nail color that i am wearing is Essie - Cute As A Button

ANNNDDDD this is after i added dots, the purple is Nina Pro - punky purple and the gold is Gold Grill
