White and Green Nail Design

Hey guys! So today I have for you another nail design. I have to admit I'm not too happy with how these turned out. I imagined them a lot different in my head.

Anyways, a lot of people said that it looks like grassed but honestly.. I didn't intend for them to look like grass. I kind of just did what I imagined and it turned out like this. Do you guys think it looks like grass?

So I used a white base and then a minty green stripper for the nails.

Here are the nails..

 

Hope you guys liked it. I'll be back with the nail design I am wearing currently.

See you next time.

Rainbow Connection

Hello! So this mani was actually from a while back but I just hadn't had time to post it! :( Sorry for that. Anyways this is just a cute sparkly mani which I actually really liked. I used Celeb City by Sally Hansen and from our most recent haul, OPI's Rainbow Connection from their muppets collection!! As much as I hate glitters for their trouble to remove, I absolutely loved this one. It's a really pretty rainbow polish with different sized glitters which makes it so interesting!

Also, I'm really sorry, I did my nails at night so it is in artificial light. It doesn't do the glitter any justice. :(

I will be back with another nail design!


Talk to you soon,

Shiny Ballet Slippers

Hey there internet peoplee! Guess what?? I rounded of my square shape and I'm pretty sure I'm sticking with it! I've always had my nails square shaped but I was looking at a few blogs and I was loving the rounded off shape and thought to myself, the next time my nails break Im going to round them off. So I did. And now I'm loving it! My nails didn't break yet and my shape isn't perfect yet but I'll get there. Soo as for my first nail design with the shape I chose to show you these shiny ballet slippers. Actually to be honest it wasn't my first nail design with this shape- I had a failed attempt doing a half moon manicure using the Sally Hansen nail art pen but for some reason it wouldn't work with me and was too watery and not quite as opaque as I was hoping it to be. So ahem, let me correct myself- the second nail design I tried on my nails: 

If you can tell I gave my Sally Hansen nail pen a second chance drawing the laces on these design, but it didn't quite work... Sigh, hopefully I'll find a better use for this pen. For the base I used Sephora by OPI I Need Space, and for the the shoe I used Color Club's Hot Like Lava from the foiled collection. For the details I used Sally Hansen White on and 3 different blacks: Sephora by OPI's What's a Tire Jack, Color Club's black from the Art Club collections, and Sally Hansen nail art pen.


Here's the tutorial for those who want to recreate this look:
Step 1: paint you're entire nail in a nude color (Sephora by OPI's I Need Space) the paint Hot Like Lava leaving a triangle out at the top like so:

Step 2: Add a black V to your nails where the pink and the nude meet.

Step 3: Create black dots around the "V" shape on the Hot Like Lava Color. Make sure to make it even on both sides of V since those are the holes you are going to be putting the laces through.

Step 4: Make white dots within those previous black dots.

Step 5: Add the laces. Using a black nail polish create first a horizontal lines connecting the top dots and then move on by connecting the others in a criss cross formation (if that makes any sense). I made the mistake of using the art pen as you can see:

Step 6: Your final step, put a clear coat and there you have it: ballet slippers on your nails! Now you can put on a finger ballet show... like I did hehe :D

Hope you liked my first tutorial!

Fun Rainbow Nails! :D

So Selene and I went out shopping yesterday, and let's just say...we bought a fair amount of nail polishes! The Nail Art Lacquers used in this design is only just part of what we bought.

Anyways, I have a friend, Styx, and she is just as much a fan of nail polish as Selene and I! She came over yesterday and we did the usual, try a bunch of nail polishes on our nails and test some crazy designs. Well, at the end of the night she had done MY nails for a change.

So for today, I'm going to show you my 'Rainbow Nails'. Styx had started off with Sally Hansen, White On (what a creative name). Then she took the package of nail art polishes that I bought that day and made a colorful design! In no particular order she took one of the colors and made a line diagonally on the already painted white, nails.


I, personally, really like this design! Its so much fun! and for some reason I can't stop staring at it! The nail art colors are so bright and vibrant, especially contrasting on the white. I can definitely see my self wearing this again! :)

I was never a big fan of the Sally Hansen polishes. Sometimes I like the brushes and sometimes just the opposite. I also feel that the solutions are sometimes too thick for me. Maybe it's just this bottle. I possible need to put some nail polish thinner in it. We'll see.


Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it! Selene and I will post a haul of what we bought yesterday! 


Till next time
