Polka Dot

I started with a silver base, and put some green and white polka dots in rows on each nail! I think they are super cute :)

Kiss Nail Dress Shrug

I decided to use the nail dress stickers in a different way just covering the top half of my nails.  The base coat is opi 'I vant to be a-lone star', a pretty silvery blue shade and the sticker is 'shrug' nail dress by kiss, a giraffe type silver and black print.  

Not Nails

So besides doing my own nail designs and constantly painting my nails, I also love making paper jewelry, and origami.  
Here are some of my favorites! enjoy. More of these designs are available at http://www.etsy.com/shop/papervieve 

opi texas lil shooters

I love the mini opi sets because you get to test out some colors before actually committing to a full size bottle.  These are selections from the texas collection. It came with 'austin-tatious turquoise', 'I vant to be a-lone star', and 'do you think I'm tex-y', along with a rapid dry top coat.  I really like the colors but it seriously took 3 - 4 coats to get a solid covering.   

green polka dots

I decided to use a bunch of green colors in honor of spring and St. Patrick's Day.  

green green green

Who feels like spring!? I do. Therefore I give you green nails! The first layer is OPI Stranger Tides, followed by a nice Love and Beauty color, and Nicole by OPI Green up Your Act.  The super shiny top coat is Orly Sec 'N Dry, it dries relatively quickly and is super shiny but not as fast as I thought it would be. 

 

blu ombre nails

Gradient like nails seem to be really popular lately so I decided to try it out with this beautiful new blue I just got. It is a Sally Hansen Hi-Def color 'BLU'.  Since the color went on pretty thin, I started with a base coat of white and put a different number of coats on each nail.
