Turquoise Stone Nails

Hi, everyone!  Sorry for the big gap in posts here, but this has been my first nail design since last month.  I recently saw missjenfabulous nail tutorial on turquoise stone nails (click here to watch her tutorial), and had to try it myself.  It took me forever to do this (maybe more than an hour), but I thought the result was really nice.  However, just be warned it got really messy (add on about another 15 or 20 minutes for clean up).  It really wasn't that difficult, though.  Anyway, here it is...

I got a little fancy with the pictures :) Let me know what you think of it and if you'll try it sometime!

Monthly Nails + Pick of the Month - May

Hi, everyone!  It's time again for Monthly Nails!  May was an awesome month for nail polish - lots of great finds!  But I feel like this is going to be kind of boring...

Other than my two designs I did this month, the plain nails were both pink - almost the exact same shade, too!  This one is Zoya "Lara"... really great nail polish, as well as the next one.  It was opaque, so I only needed one coat for this.  It didn't last a very long time on my nails, but it wasn't awful, either.

This one is OPI "Kiss Me on My Tulips"... yes both of these look almost exactly the same, a hot pink, and applied and lasted the same, too.  It was also opaque (only one coat) and the lasting time was about the same as the Zoya polish.  This one might be a little more deeper, maybe more magenta, but on the nails it would be hard to tell.  They're both really pretty, and almost exactly alike, so there's no pick this month!
