Aquatic Seaweed?

No name for this mani, all I know is that I'm totally digging it. 
It has a very aquatic feel to it.






I started off with a coat of POP Beauty polish in Mint Magic
Then I sponged lightly some 
Orly in - Luxe & Barry M. in -Cyan Blue

Then, using NYX Advanced Salon formula polish in - Sepia
and Cheeky jumbo stamping plate B,
I chose the pattern circled below, because it of reminded me of seaweed 


 
 These plates rock, & I'm quickly accumulating several of them.
The images are larger, so if you've got wider nail beds, 
these are perfect!
I picked this one up on Amazon.com
for $11.99 + shipping

Spring Green Gradient

There is something so refreshing about Green nail polish,
I don't know what it is, but I've got more Greens
in my collection than any other shade. 

He is a super Springy Green gradient that 
I'm currently wearing & absolutely loving.




I used 3 different shades:

Sinful Colors in Innocent as the base
Then used a combo of
Maybelline Express Finish in Go-Getter Green
and
ORLY in Fresh
to create the gradient

Candy Splatter

Rather than narrow down a single shade for my mani's, 
lately I've been having lots of fun using multiple colors 
for sponging, gradients, and marbling and 
I've been having a blast!
Here is my most recent look, 
using some candy inspired shades topped with black and white splatter.
