Pink Flamingo

A day later, but yesterday I was the equivalent of a zombie.

August/11/2012

 

Here is a swatch for you, I was too tired to do any nail art, and the ones I did try did not want to turn out, so I just gave up. We have here 2 coats of Orly's "Va Va Voom" a nice neon pink, with 1 coat of Nina Ultra Pro's "Pink Flamingo" to dull it down a touch.

I did manage some nail art, here is a 3D flower I sculpted in black acrylic powder on my thumb nail. I used Color Club's Nail Art Liner in "Bronze" for the gold-ish outlines. I hope you enjoy, and I promise more fun nail art after my exams are done.

Sparkling White Roses

So this is almost like a Nail Fail, but not exactly. The base glitter gradient was created using Revlon's "Sparkling" which is a beautiful cold pale dusty rose colour. Although, it didn't want to fade very nicely, as in past glitter fades I can usually cover the nail tips solidly with 2-3 coats. This one took 5 coats and you can still see my tips peeking through.

Now, the white rose flower was sculpted using white acrylic, I tried at first on a fake nail for practice, then once I did nice ones on there I tried the ring finger. Big mistake. Which is why that finger is blurred, but the middle finger turned out quite nicely.

New Year's Eve Nails

My nails for NYE, just a basic black french with gold lining, and a half moon on the ring finger. Also added a single sequin to the corner of each nail and a rhinestone on the ring finger.

Colours Used:

"Black Creme" by Wet n' Wild

"Gold" by Art Stripers

Carly's Nails

Painted Carly's nails. This was done ages ago. Base colour is "Turned up Turquoise" by China Glaze. That was followed by  a fishnet pattern stamped in blue Konad polish, and then some hand-painted purple flowers.
