This nude nail art was inspired by Leeloo's bandage costume in The Fifth Element. #bestmovieever 

Carolyn Braden's Gel Polish Nail Art: Watermelon

I used Red Carpet Manicure, Shellac and Gelish polishes for this look. Summery and sweet!

Carolyn Braden's: Gel Polish Application and Removal, Easy!

Simple Neutral Nails: Good or Bad Fall '13 Trend?

I'm trying the neutral nail that is the next "big" trend in nails. While I like the versatility of a simple neutral nail, I had to add some flair. With only putting the design on one nail, it still keeps it simple. 

Sephora Inspired: Pinterest #nailart pin

Here is my version of Sephora's Shades of Spring nail art. I used gel polishes so my mani would last through all the clay projects I am teaching right now.

Carolyn Braden: Go Cards Nails #nailart

I created these team spirit nails for the Louisville Cardinals. I used RCM gel polishes. Congrats Big East champions!

Carolyn Braden's Leopard Nails

I used CND Shellac and Red Carpet Manicure gel polishes to create this leopard print design.

Carolyn Braden's #gelpolish #nailart

A new design by me. I used Red Carpet Manicure gel polishes It's Not a Taupe, Ooh La Liscious and Black Stretch Limo.

Carolyn Braden: Pinterest Pin Come to Life #nailart

I had to use quite a few colors to get this effect. They are all gel polishes, I used a silver, black, silver glitter and blue glitter by Red Carpet Manicure. The pink and pearlescent white are Shellac. I painted my nails in black first then used a make up sponge to paint on the other colors.

Carolyn Braden's "Down the Road" Gel Mani #nailart

I used Red Carpet Manicure gel polish in Stretch Limo for this mani. I was going for a octopus tentacle look but my friend pointed out it looked like a road with the dashed lines. Ummm...yep, that's what I was going for.

Carolyn Braden: Getting Creative with #gelpolish and #nailart

I've been feeling very creative in the nail department lately. Here are some designs I created with CND Shellac, SensatioNail and Red Carpet Manicure.

Carolyn Braden's RCM Gel Polish, 9 Inch Heels

This is Shades of Gray and 9 Inch Heels in an alternative French mani. I had to have steady hands for this one and I think it worked out okay.

Carolyn Braden: RCM My Shimmering Gown

A perfect mermaid shimmering turquoise! Red Carpet Manicure's My Shimmering Gown is the perfect addition to your gel polish collection. I layered three coats of MSG over one coat of Love Those Baby Blues.
