Dotting Tools & Butterfuly Nails

The Manicurist Mansion was empty today ...so, I decided to take advantage of this rare occasion to partake in some RETAIL THERAPY!

I went to the nail supply store and purchased some dotting tools by Daniel Stone. Dotting tools are used to create perfect and accurate dots in different sizes.The package includes five dotting tolls in 10 various sizes. I paid $7.99 for the the package. I think the price was great compared to the prices I've seen at Sally's. OMG,I was really impressed ... I love simple pleasures. I think I've have a chocolate covered strawberry.

Now, what do I paint?

This past Friday I went to Discovery Kingdom, Vallejo CA. and was amazed by the Butterfly exhibit. I was so inspired by the butterflies that I decided to paint them with my new dotting tools. If I was going to wear theses nails I would have used a clear top coat.

Tell me what you think?

Introducing, nail salon....

I'm sorry! How rude? Definitely not befitting of a Princess...I forgot to introduce myself. Hello, I'm the self proclaimed Princess of Polish. I am always ranting about something or the other so, I decided to pour a glass of wine ( White Zinfandel), take off my Terra and create this blog.

I love nails and nail art , makeup and fashion, jewelry, books,chandlers and gossip ( I think my list is out of order) I am princess can you blame me ? I'm also an artist and at some point I am going to post some of my painting, but for now I am going to paint my nails, and rant and have so fun!

nail salon, is also a mobile nail salon. Occasionally, I will post pictures from the "Polish Parties". nail salon offers all complete party package or "Polish Only" style parties as well. I will also add Polish Party information to this blog as well.

xoxo, nail salon.

Puppy Luv Nail Art

I saw the cutest dog today, it was white with black ears. I was inspired to paint these nails. The red background is a color from FINGER PAINTS called ( i dont recall, i need to look that up) . I love Finger Paints because, I can use one coat and the color is very vibrant. I painted the tips using my favorite CHINA GLAZE polish, liquid leather.

I painted a puppy on 3 nails, a paw on one and assorted dots on another .

Zebra Nails w/ french tips Nail Art

Zebra Nails w/ french tips
I know Zebra nails have been done but, I really wanted to put my spin on them. I typically , do the stripes in another direction. I have this really nice zebra chair and the strips are drawn this way. I think these nails look great with any french style tip . In this photo I used CHINA GLAZE, Turn up the Turquoise for the tips.

This is a picture of the Zebra Nails on my daughter. I usually paint them in this direction. She loved them....
