NOTD: Black yellow and pink edition!

Okay so this week i decided to go with my black tips again, but there is a disclaimer about these designs, well technically 2 disclaimers
  • I can not find my flat head brush for french tips, so im stuck free handing it until i can either find it, or find one thats comparable to it because michaels doe not sell it anymore (i think?) so this is why my french tips look so crooked lol
  • I took these pictures 3 days after i did the design so one of the rhinestones fell off and the polish is a little chipped, sorry Peeps!
Anyways im out of my black polish im in love with (Walmarts Pure Ice) s i had to use this crappy one i have shown below, which takes like multiple coats. Then i used this Art Deco nail art brush i got from forever 21, and lastly I used yellow craft paint for the dots, UGHHH i love me so craft paint lol! Its cheaper than nail polish and you can mix them easier than nail polish to find the perfect color...

Sidenote: Im a victim of seche vite, when it gets to low its useless.. But i found a way around it and i will do a quick blog soon to show you had to add some uses out of that Seche bottle the becomes worthless!! And as always click the picture to see a better photo of the nails

Aqua Dots!

Hello everyone... I hope all is going well! So i told you in the previous blog that i just got into acrylic paints, and the more i use them the more i LOVE them... I saw this beautiful sky blue polish on Kae's page and i dont have that exact color in the polish for but i did have something close to it in acrylic paints. SO that was a cool cheap alternative to a color i so desperately wanted to use on this black french tip. Oh goodness but i tell you this, i have never had as many comments on my nails from random people then i did with these nails. Seriously everyplace i went it was like your nails are cute.. and im like thanks i did them myself... and theyre like NO WAY LOL.. So i caught my self giving little impromptu tutorials on how to do this look. I think Michaels should cut me a commission because i sent like 10 people there to pick up acrylic paint for dotting and designs. But in this look i used the best black ever which is Walmart's Pure Ice, I loooove this black its so smooth and it goes on really well. For the dots I used Craft Smart Turquoise, and a basic white polish. And of course i use my kiss art silver for my handy dandy line.

What I used to complete the look:
Sidenote: When you enlarge the pictures you will notice that i didnt clean around the nails from when i did the black tip, so i do apologize because in person you cant notice, but on camera it looks horrific lol.

Watermelon-esk Mani!

Well hello Ladies and Gents, i have been so busy working before school starts, so i can have enough money to shop and live comfortably. But in between work days i managed to whip up a quick nail design for a day because as you know i could never wear this to work.. WHICH let me go on a tangent real quick..

So i go to work with my clear top coat/nail hardener because we cant wear nail polish or acrylics... and i am looking around and there is 3 other employees wear acrylic french tips (which may i add, one of the girls needed a serious fill-in) anywho, im like WTF? so tonight i slapped on white tips because thats not fair to me! And if someone says something to me im going KAH-RAY-ZEE because one of the acrylic tips belong to a manager. .. O well that was my tyrate for the week lol...

Okay back to the nails, well i have seen many versions of the "watermelon" nails, and here is my interpretation of it. I wanted to do something a little less obvious of it being a watermelon, just something you can be like "oh those kind look like little watermelons"...Anywho here are my watermelon-esk nails...

Sidenote: I have no idea the name of the colors but i will post an update with them when I get a chance. As always click on the picture to get a better look at the nails.

My Spontaneous NOTD!

So I was feeling in a real dotty mood lol so i decided to do purple and white polka dots. I suggest NOT watching a funny show while doing the dots because I laughed so hard I messed up my pinky nail (Damn you the Nanny!). Anywho I used China Glaze's Spontaneous as the purple base, Wet N' Wild Montana for the white dots and Kiss's silver glitter for the line. I ran into a problem with my silver glitter being clumpy so I used my Beauty Secrets Thinner which isAMAZING to smooth it out. But with out further ado here is my nail of the day :)


What I used to Complete the Look:
Sidenote: So do we notice that the pics are getting just a little better lol.. Im going to get it down perfect.. I am soooo determined!
