mani monday: racing stripes.

This is my first time linking up with Mani Monday - WOO HOO!


Colors used:
Base color: Turquoise & Caicos by Essie
Stripes: Kiss Nail Art Paint in black, silver sparkle, and white

I have always LOVED painting my nails. In fact, back in high school, I would change them to match my outfit almost every single day! Now that N loves to have her toes painted, I've been trying to find fun things for both of us to do with our nails. Have I mentioned that I LOVE having a girly girl? *smile*

I've found some incredible bloggers who share their nail art. They have wonderful photos (something I'm still working on), great step-by-step instructions, and such creativity! Check out a few of them listed below:

Wow! My 11 year old LOVES nail art! But, the bravest I've been is using dainty nail stickers ;)
Which, do make me smile.

so glad to see you participating in Mani Monday - I love seeing what others are doing with their nails! I would never have thought to put those colors together, but it works really well!

Hiya hun, I'm new to Mani Monday too, this is my first week.

I've really been getting in to my nail art recently, it is so much fun.
My little girl is only 16 months old, but she always loves to look at my nails, especially if I've got rhinestones on x :-)
