Once Bitten: Friday Tryday: A Giveaway!!! Win The Entire bigRub...: "This Friday Tryday is exciting for me and it should be for you too ~ I am hosting my very first Giveaway!! This giveaway is courtesy of bi..."

and to see more designs or tips and tricks to put the tats on visit bigRuby
its time to show our rebellious side with nail tattoos!!!!

heres a little about them....

Who we are...

bigRuby is a clever little company that designs supercool nail tattoos.  We are a small but amazing team that plan to take the nail art world by storm.  We give you a simple way to take an average mani or pedi and turn it into something unique, creative and fun.  What's best is our tattoos can be worn as subtle or eccentric as you like.

Beauty with a conscience...

It was important to me that this business have a bigger purpose and meaning.  I decided from day one that not only would we be a cruelty-free company but that as I succeed, the things that are important to me would benefit as well.
bigRuby thinks our four-legged friends are not put on this earth to be poked and prodded for the vanity of the two-legged sort.  We pledge to always do our best to bring you products produced without the use of unnecessary animal testing.
When you buy a bigRuby product, a portion of the proceeds will go to The Kindness Ranch (a sanctuary for research animals) as well as other animal rescues.  bigRuby supports their heroic efforts in protecting those with no voice.
Please note: with every bigRuby purchase, you will receive complimentary good karma... just for caring.

and guess what girls, this is gonna be apart of the giveaway too...only 6 more followers to go >.<

as you all know, easter is actually this weekend...

a minion!!!!!!

random nail expedition...

i think this may be a first of many...RNE (Random Nail Expedition)
today is my mama's bday, YAY MAMA!!!!
and so we had some family over and i bombarded the girls with nail polish changes...
so we did a pedi-art and a mani-art

it also provided me a chance to show how awesome my camera is...yay!!!

i borrowed katy perry's nail design for this one

yellow polish with cherries, and she also requested her name to be written =]

on each hand i blinged out one set of cherries with red rhinestones

we didnt really know what to do...so we went with a coral pink base

i used the pink crackle glaze for the tips..

and some rubber nail art decals

close up on the decals, i think we can kinda see the differentiation...

i kinda just went on a whim...lol

but it turned out great =]

i still need to think about what i want to do for easter...

it'll prolly be up on thursday =]

its a Sony Cybershot H70 =] 

16.1 megapixels of sheer awesomeness...

LOL!! i just couldn't help it...

well...while i was watching a rerun of Glee and basking in the beauty that is Blaine...
i couldn't but notice how bare my nails were...well...there was design and it was simple...
it was just...missing something...so i busted out my OPI Shatter in black and DS Original and did this...

i went a little heavy on the pointer so its hiding the crackle...

but the others are fine..

now looking at this...MUCH BETTER =]

and to think i went 4 days without any polish on...

what was i thinking  >.<
