The Deep Blue
Channeling her inner mermaid with these nails. Stiletto style acrylic nails, mixed with some holographic pigments, ( I cant get enough of holographic pigments :) An accent of glitter, because if you know me, I will use glitter every chance I get.
When in Italy, wear a french
Sweet and subtle is the look for this little lady. My daughter took and adventure out into the real world this summer with her fellow students at the University of Northern Colorado. She promised pictures every day and this was one of the first that I received. I think I got about 400 gelato pictures before she made her journey back home, but this one was the first, and of course she included her beautifully done nails by, yours truly, her mom :)
From Italy, with Love
French pedicures never fail no matter what part of the world your in. I wonder if the Italians dislike the "French" manicure. I love #gelish and #youngnails gel polishes to create my french manicures. They hold up so well, even in the flip flopping around in the Italian cobblestone streets. She really testes the strength for sure.
Motherhood
The honor of doing the nails for this shoot was a blessing. This look really captures the heart of a mother, daughter and her new addition. Even though we have an nail biter on our hands, we went with an intense red to try and encompass the idea of a worried big sister, keeping her place in the world.
Cafe
Even just sitting and having coffee the french manicure stands alone. ALot of my work deals with very intricate designs and textures, this shoot was a gem to work on with the simplicity and ease the model. Her nail beds were long and graceful. She made my job a piece of cake.... which she also had with her coffee :)
I Do
It is always such an honor to work on wedding events. This fun style, a variation french, was the perfect combination for her peep toed shoes, the whole package was stunning. These added a little bit of fun to her very formal venue. Rebecca Ellison worked her magic taking this beautiful photo of my work.
True love
A beautiful representation of motherhood. Soft delicate nails for the mother, bold red nails making a statement for the big sister. Photography by http://www.rebeccaellisonphotography.com/
Breathtaking
The first thing I notice in this photograph is the love between these two connected souls, the second thing that I notice, are those stunning nails :) Ok ok... the vintage look with a tatted up super model stand out also, but those nails :) I sculpted a flawless set of Pink and White acrylics using my fav, Young Nails Acrylic
Youth
Isn't she the cutest model that you've ever seen? I personally would've chosen a vibrant bold color such as a red or dark Bordeaux, however this soft pink really encompassed the style she was looking for.
Sunrise
I created this look of a sunrise theme using a mixture of holographic pigments and alcohol Inks. I love the random, organic look that this technique provides. Its imperfectly perfect style fit my model PERFECTLY.
HOPE AND LOVE
Working on survivors of breast cancer is always and honor. This model captures the true essence of love, hope and survival.
