As I mentioned before we are going to a family wedding this week and im planning to wear a green dress so I wanted to do a green mani/ pedi. click here to see my green pedicure. I chose two of my favorite greens in my collection, beginning with Essie "absolutely shore", a beautiful light seafoam green from the summer 2011 collection click here to purchase as a base color (essie nail polish usually retails for $8 but I purchased mine for $3 at Marshalls.)

Then I used white water based acrylic paint for the design and drew it all with a small size dotting tool. I finished by adding a 2mm size rhinestone to the bottom.
The design was from Tartofraises, one of my favorite nail art bloggers, she is so incredibly talented and such and inspiration to me that I have recreated a few of her designs over the years. click here to view tartofraises's website and nail art gallery she also does tutorials on youtube and I would highly recommend checking out her channel if youre into nail art, her channel is like nail porn seriously! click here to see tartofraises nail art youtube channel

Dont be afraid to purchase from sellers overseas, I have done it many times ordering supplies and found them to be very safe and reliable. The shipping does take longer of course since it has to clear customs so keep that in mind!
