shop update: pretty in pink (champagne)

One thing I have come to realise is that you're either a pink girl... or you're not a pink girl... and I certainly LOVE pink!  To be honest, I'm not really a fan of candy pink or anything lolly like, but I do love soft pinks like blush tones, light pink, even pastel pink... ooh la la!

I recently received a custom order for 3 pink champagne bridesmaids hair flowers - I jumped at the opportunity because I was excited to see what I would come up with. Here are some pics!

PHD Vampire Challenge!

Hi all! I would say my favorite day for nails is Monday and Saturday, Why? Monday, because polishhoarderdisorder will post the theme for her weekly challenge, and saturday, the day she posts the entries. I'm very happy that I was able to participate again on her vampire challenge...thanks polishhoarderdisorder, it's a good thing that you came up with the idea of holding a weekly challenge for nail art enthusiasts...

In my design,
I applied,konad "solid white" for the base, and I used allue black night out for the tip to make an illusion. The idea is to make it look like the teeth of a vampire, then I put a black radiance dark red lipstick on the top of my finger to make it look like vampire lips... I used N.Y.C lip liner to make the outline of the lip and make it more defined.. I named it "Bite Of The Vampire"

What you need:

konad solid white

allue black night out

nyc lipliner

black radiance lipstick

and a bonus Vampire Candle!

Hope you like them! God Bless you all!

Red Hot Diamonds

Hey y'all! This design was inspired by several different youtube users. Creating this design is one of the things that made me decide on the theme for my youtube contest. Please be sure to enter! I'll do a seperate post for that. Im so sorry I am behind posting here on my blog. I also posted an update video that you can check out. In that I explain what is keeping me from posting as of late.

Anyways...let's get to the inspiration for this design! First thing that made me want to try this design was the red & yellow mylar flakes I received from designernailvideos contest. I could not wait to try the awesome prizes I won in her contest! don't forget that you can get most of the products I won from her website Designer Nail Supply! The ladies that inspired my abstract design were configure1973 for her suberb freehand and also madamluck for turning me on to the $ tree nail art stripers. the half moon tips were inspired by andreajk182, she also has an online nail supply store The Rock Star Nails so be sure to check her out!

Recently, I have subbed to a lovely lady hairtrends4u who has a channel focusing on hair, fashion and general life advice. She also has a website Hairtrends4u where she offers wigs, handbags, shoes, accessories & more!!! Be sure to visit =D
Her outfits of the day got me inspired to do a design in the colors yellow & red and I wanted to make a design for her that would match some of her outfits since she is celebrated reachin 1,000 subbies =D . She also inspired the swarovski crystals because she calls her subbies Diamonds.


Another huge inspiration for this design was dollface22772s recent super hot Bonfire design! Soon as I saw it the mylar popped right in my head. God I really love her work and she is cool as ice =D She always inspires us all on youtube and I am still giddy at the fact that she made partner! One thing I was sad about was that I had to take off that falling hearts design a week early cs I wont have time to do my nails this weekend cs I gotta work & me & hubby got a date to the Bob Marly festival =D YAY Roots, rock, reggae mon LOL But anyway...she sells the cutest vintage style jewlry in her Etsy store Littlest Charm Factory. So check it out. Ive got my eye on that angry skull ring. Feels so tokidoki =D


Well ladies I hope you all enjoy this design. There's only one thing I don't like about it...my stupid freehand reminds me of mcdonalds XDDD or ketsup & mustard hehehe. Can you tell Im sleep deprived???

Great Finds Contest

Okay, ladies, I'll admit I didn't win the "Pretty Pinks" contest over at Passion's Picks last week.  It was close, but apparently not all my followers voted! lol  Never fear, you have a chance to redeem yourselves (you know who you are...) and vote for my Cha Cha Cha Charm Bracelet over at Great Handmade Finds (click on "Great Finds" in her left sidebar to get to the poll).  So hop on over there, ladies, and vote early and vote often (just kidding, you can only vote once...I think ~ ha!)

For those of you who missed my previous Etsy Treasury Searching post, here's another picture of the bracelet in question.

Time is running out!  So run, don't walk ~ and get that vote cast for Love You More Designs (that's me).  Okay, I'm not being too needy, am I?  Don't answer that!  I appreciate all your support.

I'm off to work on an Irish Dance Charm Bracelet.  My girls have a feis (pronounced "fesh") in less than two weeks in Des Moines, IA and I want to be able to wear it there.  I also need to get moving and make some for my Etsy shop if I can ever find the time!  Hope you're all having a great week!

Dotty Purple

This was supposed to be purple with a yellow diamond pattern, per a Twitter poll last night. Needless to say, the diamond pattern didn't work out so well, as you'll see later. But I think the dotted design turned out pretty well.

I started with two coats Urban Decay "Meltdown", a deep, shimmery royal purple.
Then I got out the 3-D Nail Art Pen in Yellow that Nail Art Delights was kind enough to

Vintage Medal Charm Bracelet

I'm really into vintage medals these days.  The more I can find at flea markets and barn sales, the better.  This is my most recent creation.  It was inspired by a vintage religious medal snagged at a local flea market ~ a silver Our Lady of Fatima medal. From there I added 9 more charms, eclectically mixed in both theme and metals, as per usual in my designs.

The other 9 charms are comprised of a silver starfish, a mini "crystal ball", two heart lockets (one antique brass and one dark and gunmetal-like), a cross, a decorative silver filigree three dimensionsl charm with a Swarovski 4 mm bicone bead attached, a silver key, a round antique brass locket and a vintage sterling silver and crystal rhinestone charm that was recycled from an old earring! Whew!

The rest of the mix is made of pearls, faceted pink glass beads, crystal beads and hematite beads.  I love the mix and the jingle. Now I'm on the prowl for more vintage medals!

I'm linking this up to Get Your Craft On with Today's Creative Blog.
