Leopard/Cheetah print nail art
My leopard print nails using a Mash stamping plate and black Konad special polish. It worked so much better than regular polish! For the inside of the leopard, I used Avon plum and bronze polish applying it with a dotting tool and topped everything off with a Sally Hansen top coat.

Konad Special Polish
Just found out my local drug store carries Konad products so I picked up the black and white large special polish. I can't wait to try them tomorrow!

St. Patricks Day Nails
For this design, I did a white nail polish, with a green French manicure tip, threw on some green glitter and created the Shamrock with my Mash nail stamp plate. Lastly, I used a dotting tool to fill in the shamrock. It didn't turn out as well as I had hoped but it'll do for now.
Nail Stamping attempt #2
I gave nail stamping another try last weekend-this time using A white polish from Sally Hansen's Xtreme wear line. Once again, this did not turn out as "white" as I had hoped. Somehow I ended up with a Christmas design in March! Hahaha
Black Glitter Toes
This is a simple black polish with a wet and wild glitter that I found at my local drug store. Surprisingly, the glitter polish was very sparkly and the specks were just the right size.
Nail Marbling
I was inspired watching people on YouTube do tutorials on nail marbling so I decided to try it myself. First attempt didn't go so well, so I'll spare you the details but here is my 2nd attempt with various colors.
3D Nail Art Stickers
I've been collecting these 3D nail art stickers for a while now. Since I have so many sets, I decided to try this simple design.
Nail Art Pearls
I've seen these nail pearls on blogs but didn't know if it would work on short nails/toes. I think it came out pretty decent. :-)
Attempt #1 at nail stamping
My first attempt at nail stamping didn't go so well as you can see. I used Sally Hansen's Black Out for the Zebra lines but it was just too watery. I tried to cover up the blemishes with a silver glitter but that just made it worse. I guess I have to break down and buy the expensive Konad special polish! Lol
Black Crackle
This was my first attempt at OPI crackle nail polish so I decided to go with the classic silver glitter over black.
Nails, nails, and more nails!
Hi everyone,
Since I've accumulated so much nail polish over the past couple of years, I decided to post some pictures of my experiments. Please be kind as I am very much still a beginner at this. I hope you enjoys the pictures!
