1st Attempt of Roses

Happy Friday everyone ! Hope you are all doing well . Today's mani is going to be a rose mani that I think I kind of failed on but at the same time I like it . I started off with two coats of For Audrey . I made the initial rose base in Sinful Colors Folly . After that I mixed a rose pink acrylic paint and a white acrylic paint together . After that I ended up using the striper from NaildeRoyale to make the leaves . The striper worked really great (: Then I just used another darker green striper to make the vein in the leaves . This was a pretty simple mani but I'm not to sure what to make of the outcome . I like it but I don't at the same . I'm sure the next time I do it , it'll be better . Well I need to go eat now . So Enjoy !

Part 2 of the Lazy Pedicure

Happy Wednesday everyone ! I hope you are all doing well . I'm kind of happy and sad at the fact that I have school in 8 days . My summer was soo short . Anyway let's get onto this mani . The reason I call the pedi a lazy one is because I went all out on the mani . I used a picture from tumblr as an inspiration for this mani . I used many shades on pinks polishes and acrylic paint . I also used just some white acrylic paint . I also used some rhinestones to top of the little cupcakes . I really wanted to try my hand at a cupcake and I guess I wasn't so bad . I know I could improve a lot more but I was really happy with the outcome . If you have any questions about the colors used I'd be happy to answer . But I hope you enjoy another one of this mixed up manis :D

Lazy Pedicure

Egh , I hate Mondays so much ; even when I'm not in school . Anyway I hope you all are enjoying your day and will enjoy your days to come . Anyway I'm just showing you a simple pedi today . I still had bits and pieces of the orange pedi from 6Flags on , and it was bothering me but mostly my mother to look at my toes . So I decided to change my polish . I used Sinful Colors Folly and and baby pink acrylic paint with a striper brush to get this pedi . It's quite simple and it's just cute . It matches the nails you will be seeing later this week (: Oh the suspense . Enjoy !

Mixed Up Mani

Happy Saturday everyone . Hope you all are doing well . Today's post is going to be short for the simple fact that there is so  much going on in this mani that I'm not really going to describe what I did because it's simple at the same time . I used a number of colors that are in shades of purples and pinks . I was feeling creative at around midnight so I decided to let my mind wonder and this is what I came up with . I also had a chance to use some of my untried polishes and acrylics paints so that was plus . If you have any questions on colors or how tos please let me know . I just used dotting tools , polishes , paints , and brushes for this ; nothing all that special . I hope you will enjoy !

SnakeSkin Nail Tutorial

Hey ladies . Hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday .  I'm enjoying mine . Well today I've finally come to you with the snake skin nail tutorial . Like I said when  I posted this nail art you could go watch the original tutorial on this design . Well here's the tutorial ! (: The pictures are crappy and I need to figure out a better way to do tutorials but I just hope you enjoy and get what it is that you need to do .

xo ; Toyomi .

 I used OPI San Tan Tonio , brown acrylic paint , black arylic paint .

You will need a piece of paper , one larger meshed fabric and one small sized meshed fabric .

Apply two coats of your base polish .

Put some of your brown paint on a paper and dip your sponge in it .

Dab most of the paint off onto your paper so the color isn't so bold .

Apply your larger mesh fabric on your nail .

Sponge the color all over the nail .

This is what you should get . You can stop here if you want .

Now repeat the same thing with the black paint .

Dab off some of the color .

Apply the smaller mesh fabric .

Dab the color on .

This is your finish product . You can top coat or make it matte .
