Lazy Days Of Summer #14 - BBQ Fun

Faya on my nails!
I'm sad as this is the last theme of the Lazy Days Of Summer Challenge and I love the mani I did for the BBQ fun. I love barbecues and did one as a farewell party. What's your favorite part of a barbecue? Mine is the fire, it always goes nut because everyone has its own theory on how to start a good fire or why the fire is not starting lol. I did a gradient with Sally Hansen Rapid Red, Essence Dancing In The Streets, and Sally Hansen Lightening, then free handed the flames with a fine nail art brush and Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris. 

Lazy Days Of Summer #13 - Inspired By Something In Your House

Hello!
Today's mani is inspired by my sunglasses. It's my favorite outfit for summer, I love those shades, they are so edgy and protect me perfectly from the sun. I used OPI Bronzed To Perfection and Suzi Loves Cowboys for the cheetah style, stamped the chains with BM12, then added gold rhinestones. On to the pics!

Lazy Days Of Summer #12 - Summer Nights

Hello!
I remember my first summer sunset with my boyfriend three years ago. It was so beautiful and as soon as I saw today's theme, I knew I had to try to recreate it. I used the following Kleancolor Metallics: Orange, Pink, Fuchsia, Purple, Sapphire and free handed the palm trees and birds with a fine nail art brush and Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris. Even my boyfriend gasped at them, he was like did YOU do this? I'm so proud of it it's my best nail art so far, you can see that it was done with love lol

Lazy Days Of Summer #11 - Summer Days

Morning lovelies!
Whoa we are already in August, time flies so fast I still remember my last summer and it feels like one week ago. I love summer, it's the perfect season to showcase bright colors with style. I used different summery colors over Sally Hansen White On to achieve the patchwork design, then added a thin coat of Essence Circus Confetti. I wanted it to pop and scream fun and I'm proud of the result. Hope you like it!

Lazy Days Of Summer #10 - Favorite Fruits

Hello!
Another challenge and this is the time to show my love for my favorite fruit. I really wanted to do strawberry nails, but I don't like the fruit so I went for kiwi, which I love. I used Catrice King Of Greens, Sally Hansen White On, and Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris to achieve this look. Hope you like it!

Lazy Days Of Summer #9 - Thirst Quencher!

Hello!
I told you I will be on point on this challenge. Thirst Quencher is today's theme and I did a sponged gradient with OPI Did It On 'Em, Catrice King Of Greens, and topped it with Fingerpaint Flecked. It's supposed to be a Mojito manicure, or Caipirinha, lol pick one and you have my favorite summer cocktails. What do you think of it?

Lazy Days Of Summer #8 - In The Garden

Hello!
The Lazy Days Of Summer challenge really got me lazy lol I feel behind but thanks everyone can go at its own pace so I was just chilling and taking my time, but I have so many ideas that I will keep them coming. Today's theme is "In The Garden" and I wanted my nails to reflect different things I see while taking my summer walks with my dog. Since mister likes to sniff everything around, I sometimes see the most funny things. From fishes in the lake taking some sun to lizards chasing each others. Double stamping was the perfect way to interpret it so on to the pics!

Lazy Days Of Summer #7 - Dotting Tool Summer Fun

Hello lovelies!
I was eager eager for this theme as I love my dotting tool I use it all the time. It is one of my favorite type of nail art along with french diagonal manis because they are so easy and versatile, the possibilities are endless. I'm wearing tan and I have a yellow purse so I wanted my nails to match it and also have that pop of summer colors. The base is one coat of OPI Did You Ear About Van Gogh, dotted with Sally Hansen Brisk Blue and Lightening, Yummy!

Lazy Days Of Summer #6 - Pool Party

Good morning!
I was eager for this theme as I love pool parties (my last two birthdays were ones). I wanted my mani to represent the fun and games people like to play at the pool. I started with one coat of Sally Hansen Brisk Blue as a base and then stamped with BM313 and Sally Hansen White On to achieve the pool look. On my pinkie is a beach ball, ring finger is the pool and the security fence, on my middle finger my favorite swimsuit, and on my index finger, I wrote Splash because I love to jump in the water and splash my friends around lol.

Lazy Days Of Summer # 5 - Inspired By Your Favorite Towel

Good morning!
I really want to say thank you to the ladies taking part in this challenge along with the ones from the Florida Polish Society for helping me putting my ideas together for this mani. See today's challenge is inpired by your favorite towel and mine is a map of Florida with different symbols distinctive of this state. I picked specific designs and interpreted them my way. Hope you like it!

representing Florida!

Lazy Days Of Summer # 4 - Flip Flops

Hello!
Flip Flops is the 4th theme of the Lazy Days of Summer challenge and I knew already what I was going to do thanks to Bundle Monster and its new set of stamping plates. I wasn't the only one as you will see the harmony in the manicures done by the other ladies participating in this challenge. On to the pics!

Lazy Days Of Summer # 3 - Flag Day

Happy 4th of July everyone!
The third theme of the summer challenge I'm taking part in is Flag Day. I have a day full of activities for the national American holiday. I decided to do a sponged gradient manicure with Nails Inc Baker Street, Sally Hansen White On and Rapid Red, then I stamped over it with Sally Hansen Silver Sweep and BM14 (from the first Bundle Monster plates set). Love the result and especially seeing all those patriotic manicures :) Have a good time and a safe holiday!

Lazy Days Of Summer #2 - Ombre

Hello!
This is day 2 of the Lazy Days Of Summer challenge! It's Sunday, sunny and I'm going to the beach. I'm moving out in a couple weeks and most of my polishes are bubble wrapped and packed, so I will be doing this challenge with what I have in hand. Luckily purple is one of the color trend for summer 2012 and I had some untrieds that matched the ombre theme. I hope you like it!

Lazy Days of Summer #1 - Beach Themed

Yes Summer is here! We had so much fun with the April Summer Brings May Flowers that most of us decided to do a summer challenge and all came up with theme ideas. It's my favorite season of the year so I'm glad to be part of this challenge. I like how generic the themes are so I can interpret it in my own ways and go at my own pace. Let's go!

My first memories of the beach were pictures of me as a toddler in a nautical stripes outfit. I wanted my mani to reflect this time. Hope you like it!
