Deer Skull

In light of the fact that I have no new nail art for you, since my weekend was absorbed by other duties, I do have a piece for you that I have been working on for well over a year now.

Nov/09/2011 to Dec/02/2012

Click on it to make it larger. This was done in Paint Tool Sai, it is now also a print you can purchase (also iPhone skins/hardcases) in my new Society6 Shop.There are currently only a few items in shop right now, but hopefully before the week if through I will have more prints with more variety.

If you don't hear from me for the remainder of this week, I wish you a Happy Week and Weekend.

One Stroke Roses

Happy Monday! Here's a simple one for you!

Nov/25/2012

Base colour is Butter London's "Come to Bed Red" with only 2 coats so you can still see the free edge. These are just some one-stroke roses I did, you can find tutorials for them all over youtube. I'm not overly fond of them as they look bulky, and I don't really like my nails to look bulky. 

Flashback Friday - Blue Roses

Another Flashback Friday for you all!
This was an experiment with different nail tip shapes and one-stroke flower painting.

Square tips: Whole hand.

 So, to start you off, here are the more common square nail tips, that I personally prefer. They aren't squoval, much to them looking like it in the photo.

Square tips: main four.

 You can see the square-ness a touch better here, along with clearer nail art. This ring and thumb fingers have the one-stroke painted roses on them. They just look like blobs to me though.

Square tips: close up of thumb.

Almond Tips: Whole hand.

 Here are the almond tips. Remember its the exact same mani, the only thing that has changed is the shape of my nail tips. I like the almond shape, but on certain nails it doesn't look to flattering to me, for example my ring finger looks to oval (I tried to make it pointier but it's too short).

Almond tips: main four.

 A better shot of the tips alone. You can see what I meant about the ring finger being more oval than almond.

 Now for the colours I used: the white was done using Kleancolor's "White", with an overlay of Miss Pro Nail Sation in "Cotton Candy" a beautiful pink sheer opalescent shimmer.

One more photo for you guys:

Top: Almond Shape.
Bottom: Square Shape.

Here is where I'd like your input, which nail tip shape do you think looks better on my hand. The almond? or the Square?
