nail salon...Strawberry Nail Art

The princess wanted something sweet , she went to garden for a strawberry treat. When she was finished , when she was done. She had eaten all the strawberries, all except ONE!...........



I used CHINA GLAZE's Rose among thorns ( I know, I really need to venture out to some other brands) to paint the cute little strawberries. I used a green stripe rite for the stem . I used some glitter polish only on the strawberries ( hard to see.....looks like sugar) and painted the nail bed with clear polish by she. Sweet!

nail salon...with a little paint and canvas


I am always thinking about my Nail Salon to-be ( call it out , make it happen) in one way or the other . Today, my thoughts were on the walls. I am not sure if I am going to have original art on the walls , prints or photographs. But, today I felt like painting.

I painted this picture called "She wanted them all" because, it reminds me of my fellow bloggers. The picture depicts a girl who was so excited about the nail polishes that, she bought all of colors the store had ( sound familiar? ) . She has on a necklace that says "nails" and would paint her lips with the thick lacquer if she could. The mail color of the piece is lavender and off white , her lips are pink ( I cant seem to get good pictures) . I painted the picture using acrylic paint on wrapped canvas. The picture and 18x24 inches. I am going to sell it on Ebay once I have time to list it. I think it came out pretty good ( if I do say so myself)...let me know what you think.
