OPI Japanese Rose Garden

Very pretty pink with a touch of shimmer. Plate m56 on it, I've seen the bow design many times before and I have been wanting to try it. I just couldn't figure it out til my 10th nail! I didn't like it that much on my nails since I could barely fit the bow on each nail.


I should practice before I try a new design.


Did much better on my last 5 nails, they were straight at least.


The last nail came out exactly how I wanted it, plus my thumb was big enough for the design!

Yesterday was really fun, I made my salsa, we had tons and tons of grilled food, watched fireworks, made smores (well the guys did but the girls were inside doing nails, I painted Olivia's nails with Lubu Heels and forgot to take pictures) and just hanging out. I ended up nodding off in a chair a little past midnight so that's when we went home.

My mother-in-law sewed the cutest little apron using Mary Engelbreit fabric (and pattern I think?), I wore it as soon as I started making salsa and kept it on most of the night!

  1. You and that apron are too cute! I think your bows turned out just fine, your nails are lovely. What color polish did you use to stamp with?

  8. Mary: Thanks, I totally wanted to wear the apron home lol. I guess it's easy to notice the tiny errors on yourself. I used Revvvolution to stamp with!

    Denny: Thank you, and I enjoyed it indeed!

    Mercurylady: Me too! I might have to go steal this next time I'm over at the in laws...

    Hi Joyce!

    lol thanks! From what I could find on google, the polish is supposedly from The Far East Collection in spring 2000. It is still available to purchase online like http://8ty8beauty.com/nail_polishes/opi_3.htm

    Thank you hopefully I will be a master stamper soon! :D

    Kelliegonzo: Thank you :)

    Tuli: Thank you!! I love pinks so much lol. Yeah I don't know how to get patterns that has a middle centered on the nail so perfectly. More practice for me! I'm in love with the apron.

    Thank you for the award! :D:D

    Clockwork: Thanks, me too. I've never heard of Mary Engelbreit before but after seeing some of her fabric designs and some plates my mother in law showed me I really like her style! So whimsical

  13. My first thought was also Hello Kitty!!! So cute! Myabe you could just do the design on your thumbs, because the design is adorable and a shame not to do again plus the thumb looks really good!

  14. Nailfiles: Thanks, me too! Stamping is too much fun not to try!

    Sparklingpinkgorilla: Haha must be the pink and bow. Just the thumbs is a great idea!

  15. I didn't think anyone wore aprons anymore. They are adorable. My Mom wore them everyday of her life practically. She made them out of old dress, sheets or any material she could piece together. They were cute and also memories of old clothing. Sadly I didn't keep any. I love Mary Englebrite designs. Her cherry pattern on black is my favorite pattern. I own 2 handbags with cherry prints. Your Konadicure came out very pretty. You are a gorgeous woman!

  17. Lucy: aww that's such a sweet thing to remember about your mom. I'm sorry you didn't get to keep any aprons. I bet your handbags are super cute, wish I could see them! Thank you :D

    Danielle: Thank you very much :)
