Hello, and happy weekend! So today for you I have a sports related post. As I am sure you are all aware of already, tomorrow is the Super Bowl! Football is really the only sport I actually watch, and I typically try to do Super Bowl nails when it's that time of year!

This year I wasn't sure about it since none of my favorite teams are in it but I am liking one of the teams colors, and they are from the coffee city, and I am originally from a state near them... So I am going for the Seattle Seahawks for the Super Bowl! 

So here are my nails!!

What do you all think! I like them for the most part! I just wish I had flipped the NFL symbol and the football! My nail I did the NFL logo on is kind of narrow! Other than that, I like them!!

So for these I used Zoya Nail Polish Sailor ( a great navy blue) along with China Glaze Grass is Lime Greener. The art was done with acrylic paint and the glitter that I placed is from the Born Pretty Store! It was very easy to work with and fun! Also just so you know if you are interested in shopping at the Born Pretty store you may use my 10% off code "ERSQ10" on your entire purchase!

So what do you all think? Who are you guys rooting for, or are you just going to watch it for Katy Perry at halftime and the commercials?! 

Happy Painting!

So recently I was at Starbucks with my best friend and we were waiting for our drinks and we noticed a really neat tea display for some Teavana Tea behind us. So as my mind has been trained to do I thought... Nail art! 

So what did I do? Well of course I turned them into nails! Ha, typical of me! 

Flowers and oranges! Pretty interesting combo and I wasn't really sure how they would turn out but I like them a lot actually!!

For these I used Zoya Nail Polish Willa as my black. Now I have just recently added Willa to my collection and I will have to say I am SOO happy I did! It goes on great with just one coat and comes off with NO staining!! That is huge in my opinion for such a dark color, so I would recommend this black to anyone and everyone looking for a good black! Also it will last along time too! I had it on longer than usual and it still had no chips when I took it off. Now moving on to the details... For all of the details I used acrylic paint and my favorite brush from Hobby Lobby!

And another quick pic!

Hope you all like these! Remember always feel free to leave a comment/question below! Also if you decided to remake any of my nails use #sweetpeainspired on Instagram so I can see what you all do!

Happy Painting!

Hello!! So I don't really have any new art to share but I really want to share some of my nail art I did pre blog that was just since Christmas so today I want to share some sweater nails! I know some of the US is getting hit with a snow storm so thought some sweater nails would work! Oh and I got to wear a sweater today in Florida! Yea!!

So first off I have a swatch for you of Essie's Power Clutch

This is one coat of Power Clutch with no top coat! I really like it! Really easy to work with and full coverage in one coat! Can't go wrong with that! Also with dark colors some time you can have problems with staining but not with this color!!

And here is another pic!

So next up I added some art all done with acrylic paint! 

My lines aren't perfect by any means but for 100% free hand I was very happy!! They were inspired by an old post by Sparrownails on Instagram (who also has a blog here). I changed them up a bit, but the color scheme and most of the design was inspired by her! She has beautiful work!



The four bigger ones are my favorites as of recently as you can tell.

 

So just to get my blog started I thought I would kind of share a bit of what I hope to share with you all. Of course there will be nail art, swatches, and hopefully some tutorials! Also I plan on doing some informative posts such as my nail care routine and things to that extent. I know I love going to nail blogs to get inspired, see new polishes and learn new things so those are things I will try to do here myself so I can put something out there that I know I would like in a blog.

 

So since things are still all new and some of my pages are still coming soon I would like to know what you all would like to see on here. Are you looking for Tips and Tricks? Do you have any nail related questions that you would like answered? Do you have any tutorial requests?

 

Leave any questions/comments below and I will do my best to get back with you as soon as possible Also feel free to follow my blog on Blog Lovin here. Also for more pictures of nails and life you can find me on Instagram as @25_sweetpea . So there are many ways for you all to find me in an above tab, actually there is a list of all places in which you can follow me! So I hope to hear what you all want to see and I can't wait to start regular nail posting!
