Photo Backlog 2012...Man, I've done some NAILS this year!

Black crackle over pink. I'm not a big fan of the crackle in general- it feels kinda funny to the touch- but I think these are pretty cute.
Bundle monster stamp in white laid over Sally Henson Insta-Dri polish in "Lively Lilac"...And then I smooshed some of those weird 'beadlet' things into it. Also: feels weird and scratchy. But I think that's part of the charm.
Springtime nails gradient =)
When I first get a new pack of nail plates, I can't help but try them ALLLLL out!
Pink and green jungle/tropical/....thingy. I found that the Insta-Dri nail polish works pretty well for stamping (it's thick enough). Sorry about the cruddy lighting in this photos, but I used "Lickety-Split Lime" for the stamp, over a random bottle of dollar-store pink.
This was the first stamp I tried. I was hooked =)
This neon nail-polish goes on matte, and chips off easily...So you really need a basecoat AND a topcoat. Which I do anyways, but it's still annoying 'cuz it takes forever and a day to dry. Anyhoo, this is Nina Ultra Pro polish in "Blue Blaze," "Punky Pink," and "Solar Flare," with leopard print stamp overlaid.
All of these nails are free-handed by yours truly, except for the on on the far right-hand bottom corner. I think the doughnuts are my fave. I used acrylic craft-paint for the design, then sealed it in with a topcoat.
White leaves over "Mint Sprint" Insta-Dri polish.
Another test of new stamps...I really love the full-nail stamps, but I'm not a big fan of the tip stamps. They're hard to put on strait, and give the illusion that your nails are shorter. Hmmmph.
Flowery-pedi. I love the blue background and yellow flower-center combination.
This pastel pink/glitter combo makes me think of unicorns....
I used the gradient tehnique with a piece of makeup sponge for this rainbow-tastic mani. The glitter seals the deal!
This was done mostly with acrylic craft paint and a dotting tool, over Sally Hensen's Insta-Dri polish in "Lickety-Split Lime."
4th of July nails.
Easter nails.
