Hey Y'all! Ive been busy =D I'll be adding a few more posts so I hope you'll enjoy. This design is a french manicure that I decorated with a pink & white rose I sculpted from acrylic. I also used a pink ribbon with white polka dots that I got from Michaels as the french line. I recently updated my acrylic products & this is the 1st design I made with the new NSI Attraction products.
I hope Y'all enjoy this design! Stay tuned for more designs very soon!
Hey Y'all! I recently got the opportunity to participate in a HUGE collaboration with dollface22772 on youtube! This was great fun! The theme for the collaboration was nail art through the ages. We were asked to come up with designs based on a specific decade. I requested the 1940's as my inspiration. Be sure to check out all the other fabulous designs for each era!
To create this look, I used a purple glitter mix and a lilac lace ribbon. I created a white and purple flower with a lilac swarovski crystal as the decoration. I hope you all enjoy this design!
OMG!!! This post is so totally late! I was trying to wait till I took pictures of the items I used but I haven't had the time. So I didn't want to wait any longer to post this design. I am soooo sorry about that. I'll be doing a haul video to update y'all on my collection additions. It's getting to be a lot so I guess it's about time.
To create this design I used the flesh colored acrylic that I made a while ago and used on the Royal Rose design. This time I added some white acylic to the mix and the results were much better looking. Still just a tad too dark for the practice finger, but perfect for me. Then I used black acrylic for the tip. I glued black tulle over the flesh acrylic to look like fishnet stockings. Next I applied gold glitter and a few stars on the tip of the nail. Next I used glue to apply hollow black stars & their centers over the fishnet and used gold ribbon to create the manicure line. After encapsulating the nail with clear acrylic, I finished the look by applying black star rhinestones over the gold ribbon. I hope you enjoy this design!
Hey Y'all! This is another wedding look I created. I'm liking this one much better. It's pretty simple and didn't take very long. I just want to note something about this design. For the nail bed, I used an acrylic mix that I made with foundation. I got the idea from pursebuzz. She made a tutorial showing how to make a nude polish using foundation so I wanted to try it out. I know it looks weird on the practice nail =P and I think it's a bit dark for me but I'll see how it looks lightened up a bit.
Anyway, for this look I used the same glitter mixes as I did for the last design so you can check out the details on that post. I did take better pics of the stuff I used for each mix and they're pretty self explanatory.
Well I'll keep it short Ladies, I've got to get to bed. I'll be off for a week so I'll be doing a lot more design. PLUS...Dollface is having an awesome 3D Extravaganza Nail Art contest so I'll be working hard on that!!!! I'm so freakin excited!!!
Hey Y'all! This is the design I'm currently wearing on my nails. I created it with Stardust confetti glitter from confetti.com mixed with acrylic. They have glitter kits that are so cute! I also used silver glitter acrylic that I mixed with silver glitter I got from Michael's craft store. I topped the design off with tiny Turquoise star Rhinestones that I got from karlinsu88 ebay store.
For this design I made my thumb different than my other fingers. I faded my stardust glitter on that tip & I did the other tips with a smile line. After applying the glitter to the tips I encapsulated the entire nail with clear acrylic & then filed & shaped the nail.
To decorate my design, I created a star on the tip of the thumb and a crescent moon at the manicure line for the rest of my nails. I did this with the silver glitter acrylic. And as a final touch, I applied a small turquoise star near the cuticle of each nail.
Hey ladies! I created this design as an entry to bajanspice1978's 1st subscriber appreciation contest. The theme for this contest was to create a design inspired by you ethnic or cultural background. Being Mulatto the song Ebony & Ivory really seems appropriate. Of course the song also reminds me of the piano as well so I decided to create a keyboard design.
For this design I used black & white polish ans nail art stripers. The nail art decorations I used were a lace stickers & then I created music notes with black & white acrylic. I created the white note on the nail, which was a bad idea because it caused the polish to run. To avoid that problem, I created the black note on a piece of aluminum foil. I learned that trick from HelloKittyKrazy so be sure to check out her blog & youtube channel.
I hope y'all enjoy this design! Here are a few pictures of the design. The tutorial is at the end. Have a great week!
Hey Y'all! I did this design last week as an entry to Linda165's First Nail Art Contest/Giveaway. This contest was really fun!!! The theme was different strokes as the title states. What does that mean you ask? Well she requested designs that has more than one pattern. What a fun challenge!
For this design I wanted to do mostly hand paint since I haven't really been practicing that much. I definitely wanted it to be different so I chose two opposing patterns. I created a french manicure for the design and painted the tip plaid and the nail bed with a paisley pattern.
I decided to go with bright summery colors as I am so ready for it! I used Cuty hot pink polish by Sinful Colors, 220 Volts by Funky Fingers, Black Creme Lace by Love my Nails, and White Tips by G-1. I used nail art stripers as well, to accent the design. Luckily I had some that went perfectly with the polish colors I chose. I went with white, black, turquoise & pink glow nail art stripers.
Well...the contest is almost over and very soon the winners will be announced! This has been a really fun experience and I am just about ready for another! I hope you ladies are as well! Spring is here and it's time for rejuvenation! Let's get our creative juices flowing! I hope y'all are ready to find out the contest winner & another surprise I have in store for you. Until then I hope you enjoy the tutorial! Take care!
Hey Y'all! Here is my most recent contest entry to Dollface22772's Alice in Wonderland nail art contest. Be sure to check out her you tube channel she has great designs! And check out her blog while you're at it ;^)
Whenever I think of that story the Queen of Hearts always comes to mind. Being that it's almost Valentine's day I just couldn't resist creating a heart themed entry.I really love the way that the design turned out.
For this design I created a french manicure with Barely Legal polish from Sinful colors and Kaleidescope glitter polish from Wet n' Wild. I also used silver and silver glitter nail art polish to make the manicure line. All of these polishes I got from my local drug store and I got the nail art stripers at the local Beauty Mart. {AKA hair store =)}
Then I created the hearts with red and black glitter acrylics. I got the acrylics and the nail art sculpting brush set from Maytheps Ebay store. I didn't really like the way that it looked until...I added my favorite silver mini beads!!! LOL As you know I purchased them from karlinsu88nailexpert ebay store.
Hope you like this design and here are a few pictures.
And finally a full hand tutorial! Sorry it took so long to get to this point. Take care y'all. More Valentine's day designs coming up shortly!
Hey Y'all! Im sorry I totally forgot to post this!
Here's the full tutorial for this easy classic design with a bit of elegance. For this design the decorations I used were small white bows which I got from RHINESTONES AND CRAFTS and white lace stickers that I got from Tamanala.
I've been experimenting with acrylics and mixing them with glitter and have had some great results! I can't wait to get started!!!
Stay tuned for some cute Valentine's day designs I have in mind to do over the weekend. Plus, it's time to do my nails over so I'll be posting a full hand tutorial over the next week as well!
