Blazing in Brazil





Hello Spring beauties! Are you suffering the cold front, too? Yesterday there was snow falling from the sky and flowers falling from the trees as I walked to my car. It was an interesting juxtaposition! It seems like it may be warming up a little, and I surely hope it does. My brother's outdoor wedding is in just over two weeks! Cross your fingers for us that it's warm for the ceremony and reception.

I literally JUST glanced up at the "Title bar" on this page and came up with this outrageously corny name. I used two colors from OPI's Brazil collection, so I thought, Brazil! I was trying to summon the warm weather gods with this one, doesn't look like it worked. : /



Here I have done just a simple stamped manicure over a pretty/cheesy gradient. I say cheesy because it really reminds me of an airbrushed beach t-shirt. I'm sure anyone who lives in the South of the U.S. Has probably vacationed in Panama City Beach, Florida, and these dusty, sunset gradient t-shirts are everywhere. Everywhere. I should have slapped a dolphin on it and I probably could have received commission. ;) 



For the background I used a sponged on gradient in yellow, Sinful Colors Unicorn, orange, OPI Toucan Do It If You Try, and coral, OPI Where did Suzi's Mango? After sponging on a few layers (3) I stamped in Maybelline Bold Gold, using Messy Mansion 12 for the chevrons and Bundle Monster 401 for the bird. The glitter on my pinky is Orly Lavish Bash.


I hope your Spring has sprung and that you're getting nothing but sunshine!

  2. Aw, thank you so much! I hoped it would warm someone up! I needed a warm pick me up in this cold front. Luckily, the weather has begun to warm. (A little!) I hope that the rain passes - I can't stand yucky weather when it's supposed to be warming up.
