4th of July

Ok so I have been super busy and I'm still trying to figure out how everyone keeps up with all the different social media sites ? I tend to get wrapped up in one for a bit and forget about other. Any how sorry I've been neglecting my blog. However I did some awesome nails for the 4th. I created my own glitter red acrylic and used some other colors in these. Topped it off with a nail Stamp in silver to make them a little more patriotic. Hope you all enjoy. 

Colored acrylic and stamps

With summer just around the corner decided to brighten things up a bit!! 

Sheer Black polish, with some art.

Christmas nail stamping

Gel nails Tacoma

Recently I've had a few calls about gel nails. The trend must be cycling through again. 

There are two forms of this fantastic product. One being a "hard" gel used to strengthen to extend a nail. It's a great alternative to acrylic. The other being a gel polish. Which there are many different brands such as Shellac, Gelish, Opi the list goes on and on. These are polishes that may add a little bit of strength but last a couple of weeks without chipping. 

I do offer both at Polished. Please call or text for more info. 253-720-8860. 

Cheers

Nail sweaters!! These just remind me of Christmas sweaters on nails. I used shellac for the colors stamped them in white. The pink nails I used a matte topcoat by Essie. I love this look.

St. Patricks day nails

So I thought if I started off with something simple I could add to it later. These are made with glitter mixed into acrylic. I custom blended the pink nail bed on all but 2 nails. Finally capping them in a clear acrylic. It's going to be fun to see what I can transition them into. 

Seahawks in the Playoffs

Another new look for the hawks making it into the play off's !!

Winter Storm

With the threat of snow coming this evening. I thought I would stay in and do my nails! I shellac'd them and used various nail stamps to create snow flakes. The next step was adding my snow polish to the tips!! Finally I sealed them with shellac top coat. It's a fun winter look! 

Game Day

I love showing off my team spirit... Had to do something for the game on Sunday!! Go Hawks

Holiday reverse French

This is my first attempt at these and I kinda like this look. I used shellac as my base then cut out the silver from Dashing Diva.

Shellac with pigment.

I had a blast creating these nails. These are custom made shellac colors using CND's pigments. Another twist to the ever changing nail fashion.

Simply French

A twist on the traditional "french Manicure".  Black turns this into a high fashion mani. Perfect for fall or any special occasion. C'est Magnifique!!!!!

Olympic Ready

Wow has summer been busy! I was up late last night watching the US Women's Soccer team beat France 4-2 in the Olympics. These ladies were so expiring that I decided to do up my toes this afternoon in Olympic Spirit!!! It will be fun wearing these for the next month. Go Team USA

I'm having a lot of fun with these new magnetic gel polishes from Gelish!!! Easy and fast to give your nails a look that will keep everyone guessing.

SUMMER FUN

Ok ok I have been desperately wanting sunshine, and neon is all the rage this summer so I thought maybe bright nails would bring out the big yellow ball in the sky. ;) I created these wild things using gelish neon shades that will last 2 to 3 weeks without chipping.

Snow Days !!!!

Ok all I have had enough of this snow!!! But I did have some time to play this week. It was hard coming up with some inspiration and then I looked outside. These were done using Young Nails Frosted Pink sculptor gel. I added a little crushed pearl for some Bling, then it just wasn't enough so I added a mani q to create the design. This reminds me of winter with a girlie twist.
