Spring/Easter Nail Art!

I've been so busy lately that I haven't had a chance to post OR do my nails! Such a sad day when I'm too tired to do my nails :( with Easter just a few days away, I figured I would get a spring time Eastery theme in before it was too late. I have seen quite a few different Easter manis, a lot of them incredibly adorable! Many of them incorporated bunnies into their art so I decided to go a slightly different direction. While I still have the Easter Eggs, I used chicks as my easter animal instead of bunnies :)

I created these with two of my dotting tools and my trusty striping brush. I used....17 polishes...OH MY. I think that may be a record for me! The base color for this look is Julep's Susie which is a lovely light mint color. It reminds me a bit of China Glaze's Re-fresh Mint. I was a bit disappointed with the application of Susie, but the color is fab. 

The chicks and easter eggs took about 2 hours total to complete and I'm pretty happy with how cute they turned out :) 

All the polishes used, minus the base color Susie.

And my messy palette!  

Are you all doing anything exciting this weekend? Any special manis for the weekend? 

I've also been working with the lovely folks at The Born Pretty Store and I am happy to say I've got a 10% off your entire order code to share with you all! Enter SLR91 at checkout :)


This website has some really great nail art products at really great prices...plus, they have free shipping world wide. They are based out of Hong Kong, so shipping can take a few weeks, but you really can't beat the price and I definitely think their products are of the same quality (if not the same product) that other retailers sell at double the price.

Happy Polishing :)

[CONTEST] Win a Set of Occult Christmas Cards

THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED! Thanks to everyone who participated.

Sean Tidy was unsatisfied with the same old Christmas cards he saw in shops, so he decided to make his own. He said, "They are a fun twist on classic Christmas themes, with a little black metal, church burning sprinkled on top." These are definitely not your average Christmas cards. They have skulls, skeletons, and some dark occult elements that remind me of other culture's Christmas stories. Sean wants to share his unusual Occult Christmas cards with you all. He's giving away a set of 5 cards to one lucky Skull-A-Day fan!

PRIZE INFO: One set of five Occult Christmas cards (one of each design). Each card comes with a brown, ribbed envelope, and they are individually wrapped in cellophane.

HOW TO ENTER: Leave a comment below telling us what unusual Winter holiday traditions you do. For example, my family opens all their presents on Christmas Eve vs. Christmas morning. "Santa" brings the kids more presents the following morning.

Skully Klaws

Lebotomy is back again with a piece he created named "Skully Klaws".

I know, I know, it's not even Halloween, and I'm already posting Christmas stuff. You know you've been ogling the abundant skeletons and skulls of Halloween merchandise, as much as the glittery ornaments and colorful trees as much as the next person...or maybe that's just me. The legend of Santa is of an immortal man that lives where no other person can go and delivers and bottomless sack full of presents to billions of children in 24 hours/one night. For those who believe in the legend, perhaps instead of one immortal man, there have been thousands of "Santas". Perhaps, they all look like Skully Klaws in their arctic crypt. Or, something less deep...this would make an awesome Christmas card.
