Iris Nail Art For The I Most Important Person In The World

Happy Mother's Day mom! I know irises are your favorite. I made this iris is just for you. I love you so much. Thank you for making me who I am (and for making me in the first place!!) Thanks for loving me. Thank you for giving me the gift of confidence and strength. Now that I have my own children, my respect for you has multiplied exponentially!! How in the world did you do so much!! You truly are my super hero.

I love you mom!

P.S. Did you know the fleur de lis design is an iris?

Here is an extreme close up. The base is the gorgeous OPI Jade Is The New Black. The stem is Pure Ice wild thing and Orly Enchanted Forest. The flower is Diamond Cosmetics Not Your Hum Drum Plum and Orly Charged Up. The black, white and yellow are stripers.

Here is a picture of irises from the burpee catalog online.

My Best Friend is a Droid (with orly iron butterfly)

I'd like to introduce you to my new best friend (sorry Erla!) He won Time magazine's Gadget of the Year award.

I finally got a new cell phone. It is a magical contraption. The Motorola Droid uses the Google Android platform. (the little droid is the Android logo) The things this puppy can do.... google voice search, scan barcodes, dvd quality video. I'm in love! I'm basically a PC girl. Finally, there is a phone that can step in the ring with the Iphone! No matter which phone wins the championship belt...

I Heart My Droid.

Wait a minute. I should have blogged from it! Next time?

Side note: The incoco was really easy to take off? I used pure acetone. I bet it would have lasted forever. I'm just too impatient! :)

The base color is Orly Iron Butterfly from the Metal Chic collection. The "I" is a chrome silver color by Stargazer. The heart is China Glaze China Rouge. The android is Pure Ice Wild Thing. I used Essie matte about you on the nail art to keep with the matte theme.

Musical Manicure Madness!

Can you guess what awesome band inspired today's manicure?? I'll give you a hint. They have a new album out called Raditude that is only $3.99 on Amazon.. It's WEEZER! :)

Above is the mani after I added the little Weezer insignia. :) Each nail was inspired by a different Weezer album. L-R The Green Album (pure ice wild thing,) Make Believe (colorama black,) The Blue Album (random sally hansen franken) and The Red Album (OPI thrill of brazil.)

Here is it without the W's.
