Back to Sally, back to polish fun!

I'm back at Sally after a two year "break", ooohhhhh yeah. Wow, a lot has changed! And so many pretty polishes have come and gone, how sad :( But, now that I'll be working with public again, I'll be doing my nails much more again :)

Here's some cuteness I've done since my last post :)

More wintery sparklaaays :)

I haven't had anything to post in a while because I've been wearing Halley's Comet nonstop for over a week now :)  Now I think it's time for something different, but I still had to go for Halley's Comet for the dark.  The light is Sinful Colors, Nail Junkie.

It's hard to tell in the picture, but it's a light to dark gradient similar to the last wintery one, except instead of sponging it, I dragged the dark into the light with a toothpick, Mayparis style :) [I'm sure it's other peoples style too, this is just the first nail video I ever saw and the one that actually got me into nail art :)]

I don't know why I'm feeling the icy blue lately [besides the fact that I'm craving cooler weather, this heat's killing me], but wandering though my RSS feeds, I see I'm not the only one :)

Polka dot tips :D

I call this "I want it to be winter NOW."

I like winter :)

I give it 12 hours before I start picking at the rhinestones.  I'm a picker.

I felt like being shiney today

I've finally recovered from cutting these babies WAY too short after a first-time-messing-with-silk-wraps disaster :) 

So, this is the kind of thing I do.  I almost always use a sponge in some way, I use them for both the gradients and for my tips [I'm kinda surprised I don't see more people use sponges for tips :D I have shakey hands, so I can't freehand very well, and I'm too impatient for tape]. 

I love doing gradients, it trips my customers out :D
