Shellac French Application and Removal

French manicures are hard to get the hang of, even when just using polish. When you are trying to do them with shellac or gel polish; it gets even harder! I found this video made by CND explaining the best way to do a French Manicure using shellac - I thought I would share because it has some very good information and breaks it down from start to finish!

Enjoy! 

Exciting news!

I am absolutely dying with excitement! I finally have the opportunity to sell, yes SELL if not link-to-sell/share some of my absolute favorite products, as well as deals (or should I call them steals) you will not get in any of the stores! If you are interested in some of my favorite supplies - check out and keep tabs on my store. You can get there by CLICKING HERE! Or, by navigating your way to the right side of the page; I decided to separate them by category, so much more to come! I can not express the excitement I am feeling by being able to not only share my favorite products, but to be able to provide the opportunity for others to buy them! Yay!

XoXo - feeling so excited!!

Pink plaid

She adored this set so much, we had to do matching shellac toes a week after her acrylics! So much fun!

Crosses and skulls

This set was one of my first attempts at sugar skulls. I wish I could have gotten a better picture of how cute and detailed the little skulls (on the middle fingers) were! All art was hand painted, except for the thumbs. I used my colored rhinestones to make the 3d crosses. 

Grey and Yellow

Relatable quote of the day

Yet another reason to love Zooey Deschanel. I completely agree with this, don't get me wrong, I will do plain nails - but if they are on my hands, they always have to have a little something different, everytime I look down at them it's like a little bit of happiness. 

Dream Catchers and feathers

I absolutely love the colors and designs we put on this set!!

Love the designs we did on this set!

Abstract Geometical

This set was so much fun, we used a shimmery light purple, faded into a black sparkle acrylic - then for the lines I used three different line paints. They kind of reminded me of Pink Floid!

Geometric + Cheetah

On this set we did nude acryic then topped it with grey and mint shellac. Then I hand painted the geometric designs and cheetah - with an extra shellac top coat once the decorations were dry.

Gold, black and a pop of coral!

I love the pop of coral we decided to add on the thumb! Plus, you can never go wrong with gold, if you ask me ;)

More of the 3d skulls!

This time we added cheetah print and an anchor made out of little circle studs! I love them!

Coral and mint

I actually did this set on a good friend of mine for my wedding! They were perfect!

Polka-dot fun!

Seriously though, how cute are these polka-dot and bling BRIGHT PINK nails!?

Feathers, Dream catchers and tribal designs

A little Geometrical

As I am catching up on posting all of these sets, I realize I am in love with way too many. This being yet another set that I look back on, pat myself on the back, and fall in love all over again. #nailtechprobs 

Gold, silver... and pearls?

Yes, there is a question mark, because at first thought of the three of these colors/things working together - one may definitely question how they would turn out, but wow! I was impressed myself at how amazing these looked! Check out that rock too ;)

Sugar skulls and pin stripes!

I love sugar skulls! These nails just speak for themselves!

Epic Galaxy set

On this set I used black, a blue sparkle acrylic and a purple sparkle acrylic in the actual nail. Then I used the "blotting method" for the sparkles to add to the galaxy effect! 

Black and white

Another set including the skulls and spider webs! You would not believe it but this client was about to go into labor!!
