Flashback Friday: Pink Roses

June/12/2012

Base colour is "Shocking Pink (Neon)" by China Glaze, with one coat of "Fairy Dust" on top of the index, middle and pinky fingers. I painted some little black roses on my ring and thumb nails.

Enjoy!

Snowy Day Bling

So yesterday I woke up to a light dusting on snow on Betty (my van). And was not impressed as I was heading out to class. So this is the mani inspired by my dislike of snow.

Whole hand.

Thumb Close-up.

So I first put down a white gradient using the sponging technique. I used "French White Creme" by Wet n' Wild for the base colour. On top of that I did a basic glitter gradient using Sally Hansen's "Disco Ball" from the eXtreme Wear line, its like an iridescent glitter. On top of that I randomly attached half pearls and rhinestones which were purchased from Michael's Arts and Crafts store.
Overall I like them, I love blinged out paws, but they are a pain to work with since they are so bulky, I have trouble getting my hands between books to make shelf space.

Fuchsia Fever

This is what I've been wearing since Wednesday. The base is "Fuchsia Fever" by Revlon. On top of that I used Dollar Nail Art's foil in "Gold", and added one coat of L.A. Girl's glitter in "Synergy".

The base colour I used for these was "Near Dark" by China Glaze, I added a gradient using some silvery eye shadow and "The Best Glue Ever". On top of that I hand painted some grey-ish flowers, and added some spot of gold foil (on one) and white gold foil(on the other) for some sparkle. This was fun, and what I wanted to attempt on my own paws a while ago but didn't quite have to moxy to do so.

I hope you all enjoy!

Aurora

Several coats of "Sheer Pastel Pink" by Kleancolor with 2 coats of "Aurora" by Kleancolor on top.

Hearts and Sparkle - Valentine's Day

Jan/21/2012

Here's a simple design for Valentine's Day. Very easy hearts on a red base, you don't need any special brushes for these hearts, its just a matter of learning to flick the nail polish wand in certain directions. It will take a bit of practise to get them right, but it's fast and easy once you get the hang of it.

So for this the base colour is "Hey Sailor" by China Glaze, the hearts were done using "Red Carpet" by Sally Hansen, and the top sparkles were "Golden Enchantment" by China Glaze.

Hue Left a Message?

Some stamping and an attempt a taping. I found the scotch tape (used for Expresso) gave a much cleaner line than the masking tape (for the Black). Used Bundle Monster's BM-221 plate.

Colours used:

"Hue Left a Message" by Finger Paints

"Expresso" by Kleancolor

"Black Creme" by Wet n' Wild

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

Black Flowers and Sparkle

Base colour is "1020 Poinsettia" by China Glaze. I added some one-stroke hand painted black flowers, and topped them off with generic rhinestones for some added sparkle.

These probably won't survive work this week, but that's what photos are for :)
