Summer Chic mani

Hey guys! Today I wanted to show you yet another funky french, lol. The oh so sweet Kim from Color Club sent me a bunch of fun new nail art items to try, and this was one of them. Now, I love these little things, but really only like to use them on my accent finger when I do funky french manis. They are so cute, but too many, IMO, can be overkill. So I went for what I am calling, a Summer Chic mani :) The little orange slices are just adorable!!!

I also love the fact that these are so thin. I've used others that were on the thicker side, and were just too big and bulky.

I started with my go to base of Professional 10 #415 Pinky Promise. I get mine from CVS. Then after a coat of SV and about 10 minutes, and taped my nails off, and did black tips. I hen did one more coat of SV, and when it was dry, and added a tiny drop of nail glue on my ring finger, and set the orange slice over top.

    This is a very good way to use the orange slice. I have lots of fimo and never know what to do with it because it can be an overkill on every nail. I'll definitely be trying fimo only on the accent finger :-)

    Strange. I made a comment but it didn't show up. Looks great and makes me want a cup of lemonade.
    Are your nails natural? How do you get to test out products for companies. Sorry so many questions, just curious.

    I've never been a serious nail girl, but since I found your blog a few weeks ago I've been hooked a bit. Bought the konad for my girls to play with when they get bigger (I don't think my 3 mo old can fully appreciate the beauty). I linked to you on my blog with a pic of my 4th nails... all credit goes to you! :)

Yes it's not right for people to do that, but does she really need it throw in her face constantly? Can't people just enjoy her blog? And no you're not informing her, you're frustrating her...

I know it is frustrating to see so many people stealing your pics, and pretty much the happiness that blogging brings, but just remember that we know who the true artist is!

    Fairly new follower and enjoyed your nail designs. I think it would be great even if you do not do a formal "post" to just let your over 4000 followers know you are ok. Perhaps it is not possible to post -- maybe not able to get on line for some reason? Hopefully if not her, someone on her behalf can let everyone know that she is ok.

    Erika, I'm a longtime reader of yours and I miss your posts terribly. I get life's happening and you are busy, but I find it disrespectful to your faithful readers that you would disappear without any warning or notification; you have 4000+ readers, me being one of the ones that checked every morning for a post from you! I love your nails SO much and you inspired me but I feel us as readers should be let known of your absence before vanishing for one and a half months. We worry about you!

    Anonymous, for all we know Erika is not well or something unexpected has gone wrong in her life - something like that would surely take over her cares for her blog. Don't be so hard on her when no-one knows why she's not posting or updating her twitter. I just hope she's OK!!

    I agree with Lisa.. Life can take different paths, unfortunately. Anything that might have gone wrong in her life will surely take priority over anything, especially this blog. People need to chill out and just wait. She might or might not come back. If she does, that's great, but if she doesn't, there's nothing you can do about it.

  150. AnonymousOctober 4, 2011 at 9:12 AM

    It still doesn't sound right to me that she is just ignoring this site knowing she has thousands of followers. If she simply tired of it, she would post that she's taking a break and will be back (or not) at some point. To post nothing if in fact all is well, is bizarre. Of course everyone just hopes she is ok and if she knew people were worried, I would think she or someone on her behalf would post.

    Hey, Anon that commented to stop freaking out, we were CONCERNED that she wasn't well. So calm down.
    Well if she really has been ignoring us all, I guess she really leaving for good. Shame that we had to find out ourselves and not from her. She had the best nail blog I'd seen and I woke up to her morning posts every day.
    I kind of figured something like this would happen after she kept leaving randomly.
