So after fulfilling all of my friend's needs for their nails . One of the girls treated me to a mani . Again there is no sticker on this color but that is okay because I don't like the color very much anyway . Everyone insisted that this was the color for me . I love the design she did though . It's just so simple and cute . Basically she made three black lines and then branched other very thin small line out from the individual lines. Afterwards she highlighted the lines with a silver striper . That's pretty much it .
Just to let you know I did do the big chop on my nails because they were terribly uneven . So don't be alarmed if you see some posts with long nails & then I go back to short . Enjoy !

Happy Tuesday ! I hope your day is going perfect . My was going pretty crappy until I got home today . I GOT MY BORNPRETTY STORE SHIPMENT ! Yay ! (: So expect to see a haul on that soon . Anyway today is another manicure on someone else and this time it's Emily and they are on her natural nails . She wanted any animal print so I just decided to roll with the punches. I don't know exactly what you would call it but I like . I used some Color Club polish that sticker was gone so I don't know what it was called. But it's like a macaroni yellow. Then I used OPI SanTan Tonio for the spots and a dark brown acrylic paint to outline them . That is all , it's pretty simple . What do you think it looks like ? Enjoy !

Happy Sunday everyone . I know I'm a day late with this post but I was babysitting a little rambuncious 1 and a half year old yesterday & I had no time to get to my laptop. Anyway today is another short simple post on acrylics. Again I did one of my friend's nails and they came out okay this time , I don't really like the design. I chose a short length and painted 2 coats of OPI Dutch Tulips. Once I was done I used a thin nail art brush to paint some white lines on the ring fingers. After doing that I just accented one of the lines in a silver striper . That's about it . Enjoy !

Today is the best day I think I've ever had . I hope everything is well for you all . First off this will be a picture heavy post just warning you . School's almost over so in cosmo we've just been having lots of free days . Today I decided to do one of my friend Joanna's nails . They came out awesome . I absolutely am in love with them and I wish my nails looked like this . After applying a full set I painted every nail but the ring fingers OPI San-Tan Tonio and the ring fingers Samoan Sand. After that I used black acrylic paint for the nail art . On the fingers that are in San-Tan Tonio I just did cheetah print with a dotting tool. On the accent fingers I did cheetah print again with a dotting tool and the zebra and the cheetah again . After I was done I filled in some of the spots with dark brown acrylic paint . I must say they looked pretty good. I already know that these pictures don't do it justice but I thought I would try . So please Enjoy !

Happy Tuesday ladies ! So on Saturday I did my mom's nails and we tried water marbling . I think they came out pretty good considering it was my first time . She picked out all her own colors from her collection and her choices were Pure Ice Iced Merlot , Wet N Wild Black Creme , Wet N Wild Caribbean Frost , and Wet N Wild Blue Moon. I must say her color combo actually ended up being pretty nice . There's not much to say , so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves . By the way the next post will be the marble I tried on my nails . Enjoy !

Happy Saturday ! It's beautiful here and Massachusetts. I'm just soaking up the sun , loving it. Today's manicure is really simple . I'm promise this time it is
Frazzle and Aniploish , lol . Anyway I used OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui as a base on each of the nails. Afterwards I decided that my index fingers would be the accent . I used black and white acrylic paint and a silver striper. I drew one cross in white , one cross in black , and the last one in silver. It's sort of like a plaid design but not all the way. This is a simple and short post . Enjoy!
PS : I wanna try water marbling ; any color suggestions ? (:

Hey lovely ladies hope you're having an awesome day ! I'm trying to make the best out of mine . Either way today's mani is pretty simple nothing special . I did crackle diagonal french tips on every nail but the indexes and then did some drag marbling on the others. For the base of the french tip I used Sinful Colors Folly and then I layered OPI Black Shatter and lined it off with silver glitter . Then on the index fingers I just took multiple colors of thin nail art brushes and applied them then dragged a tooth pick through them and lined it off with silver . This was pretty easy . Hope you enjoy !
PS : I know I didn't do the clean up , I was lazy , no excuses I know . & don't mind the short pointer finger ; I broke it & I refuse to cut down all my other nails so bare with me .
