Zebra Stripes & An Accent Finger

Hope all of you ladies are having a beautiful Sunday (: My Sunday will be spent starting summer reading considering I have 4 books to read in a month . Well lately I've been on a zebra pattern kick & I just can't seem to figure out why . So for this mani I decided to do some zebra stripes on all the fingers but the ring fingers and then lines & on dots on the ring finger. For my base color I used Milani Hi-Res. This is a perfect purple glitter holo. It's so gorgeous . For the zebra stripes I used black acrylic paint and a striper brush. For the accent finger I also used my striper with white & black acrylic paint . I used dotting tools also with black and white acrylic paints . This was really just a simple design and looks very cute . I was surprised with myself because I can usually never come up with an abstract design of my own but lately I've been proving myself wrong . Either way enjoy !

So My Mom Wanted SnakePrint Too

It's so hot today I think I'm probably gonna die . Oh well I guess it's summer right . Well I hope you all are having a wonderful day . Now whenever I learn to do something new on my nails , my mom decided she wants it on her nails too . So she prepped her nails herself and came to me with her colors , lol . We used China Glaze White On White , NYC Purple Rain , and China Glaze Purple Panic . I got the mesh fabrics and proceeded to get the snakeskin art done . I personally don't like the colors she chose , but she loves them ! She asked for a green rhinestone so that's what I gave her . She's been looking at  her nails every since . Well enjoy !

ps ; The tutorial for this is coming soon ! (:

Snake Print

Happy Monday ! (: I just woke up & I'm loving it ! Either way I have an exciting post for you . I finally tried the snake print that  I learned watching LOVE4NAILS on youtube . This was really easy and I all need was 4 colors and two sizes of mesh fabrics . I'm not really going to explain how to do it right now because it's so easy or you can just watch the video . But if you want a tutorial then please let me know . I used OPI San Tan Tonio , OPI Samoan Sand , Brown acrylic paint , and Black acrylic paint to achieve this design. This was one of my favorite designs so far because it's so easy but looks so hard .  I haven't been able to stop looking at my hands . Well enjoy !

Quick Glitter Polish Haul

It's a beautiful Saturday where I am . What about you ladies ? (: I just have quick haul for you here . While I was in Jersey I found these polishes and Ross for only $2.99. There were only 4 colors in this INTENSE package . All the colors are very pigmented and have some kind of shimmer in them . They don't have any names but I guess the colors would be self explanatory . They're put in these cute little bottles and they're quite discreet . Want to see any swatches ? Just let me know . The lighting in these pictures are sort of odd because I'm in a hotel with very little light . Welll with out further ado here they are . Enjoy !

My Nails Are Back ! & An Abstract Design

I can't believe it's Thursday already . I've just been laying around doing nothing all week . I like the feeling of just wasting days away ! (: I should probably start doing more manis since I'm doing nothing . But either way I hope you ladies are having a great Thursday too ! First off my nails have officially grown out all the ridges from the acrylics I got about a year ago . YAY ! They're all the same size now , healthy , and hard . But today's design is kind of but easy , I don't know how to describe it but if you do want a tutorial just let me know . It's just a little abstract design using blues , lines and dots . Nothing big. I used China Glaze for Audrey , OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui , and just some no name glitter blue for the background. Next I did some lines and then dots in Black and White acrylic paints . After doing so I just dabbed a bit of Wet 'N Wild Hallucination in random places on the nail to just give a little shine in the light. Each nail is sort of different but they all work together. I hope you Enjoy !

Cousin #2 mani ; A Zebra Moon Manicure

I can't believe that I just woke up a 1:54PM on a week day . Welcome to summer life me , lol . Anyway hope all my love followers or anyone stopping by is having a beautiful day . This is going to be a relatively short post because this one is just that simple . My eldest cousin has such nice nails . I just wish I had them . A nice long nail bed and a long free edge . It's perfect ! (: When she saw my other cousins nails she's decided she wanted some sort of zebra print . Well that's easy enough so all I did was paint her nail is in two coats of China Glaze Dorothy Who ? Except I only did this to 3/4 of the nail leaving out where her lunula would be. Then I used black acrylic paint with a thin brush to underline the space that I left open . Then for the rest of the fingers I just added zebra stripes & voila ! All done . I hope you enjoy !
