"New Year for New Nails!"

Hey everyone! Welcome to 2012. It should be a damn good year. Anyways I got my internet back up and running so I'm thrilled to be able to update on my compy instead of a cell phone. So check dees out:

Did these on full cover nails in December. It was great. I was thinking about Cinderella and Disney Princesses at the time!

These were my new years' blinggity bling. I really liked doing these and finally got some silver crackle and paired it on top of white for a bright foil texture, and added 3 kinds of glitter! They were sexy. Still are sexy! Even my new digital camera doesn't do em justice

So that's the start of the new year! Keep checking back

"Britney Spears"

These nails remind me of Britney's Curious perfume. I water marbled, then added goodies!

Coat 3: Dip in favorite spot!

This is a sexy one!

A bit more bling

Butterfly Bling Cell Phone

Hey, so another thing I did last night was bling out my cell phone. I've ended up doing this to every phone I've had, especially when it comes time to get a new one. So yeah, I'm in the market for a new cell phone, meanwhile:

I love how cute I was able to make this and make it all American-style! Rhinestones from Michael's, that 

butterly on top is a rubber eraser with glitter nail polish on it!! No decoden for me until I can really really afford it, right now I'm wasting my money on other things so decoden will have to wait. BUT- good to know I can make something look awesome without it!
