Floral Nail Art

Hey babes!  How is everyone doing? Awesome I hope ;). Today's post is going to be short and sweet because my brain isn't working right now lol. So I'm just going to throw down the picture of my nails here :)

I really love floral designs and I love how these came out. To me the beauty of a floral print anything is in the imperfections.  No need for perfect lines and brush strokes.  Another great thing...you don't need a lot of tools.  You can create a beautiful floral design with just the nail polish brush and a toothpick. 

For these I used a small dotter, a tiny detail brush and a small triangle shaped brush (not sure how to describe it). Here's a list of the polishes I used:

New York Color SideWalkers 

Wet n Wild On A Trip

New York Color Lavender Cupcake

H & M Beauty Bandit

Essie Mesmerize

Essie Bikini So Teeny

H & M Something Blue

Wet n Wild Candy-Licious

New York Color City Sweets Pink

Milani Cosmetics Rapid Cherry

31 Day Challenge 2.0 Day 27

Hi everyone, it's another late post day today :( sorry.  Still feeling a bit under the weather but I couldn't bring myself to not do my next challenge design.  The theme for today is Inspired by Artwork.  I pretty much just googled abstract art to find some inspiration.  I found a couple things but I really liked this graffiti piece in particular.

To successfully transfer the piece into a nail design I visually cut the image up.  This way different parts of the artwork was placed on different nails.  I actually remembered that from Art class in Middle School.  The only difference being, I enlarged a tiny image back then :).
I do love the way they came out, wish I wasn't feeling like crap though.   They could have been better.  I'm so out of it I can't even think of more words to say haha.  So I'm just going to slap another picture here and make the crazy list of polishes I used for this design.  I will see you tomorrow beautiful people!!! 

Polishes Used:

• Wet n Wild French White Creme
• Wet n Wild Black Creme
• Wet n Wild megalast I Need a Refresh-Mint
• New York Color Sidewalkers
• New York Color City Sweets Pink
• Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Brisk Blue
• Essie Navigate Her
• Sinful Colors Go Go Girl
• Milani Jiffy Orange
• Milani Hot Pink Frenzy
• Starlicious Lacquer Franken Mustard Shade (name in progress)

31 Day Challenge 2.0 Day 24

Oh my goodness, 2 posts in one day? Complete madness, nah I just really need to catch up with the challenge.  I'm back again today with Day 24: Inspired by a Book.  My novel of choice is by The Misters favorite author Terry Pratchett.

A Discworld novel called Feet of Clay.  The whole Discworld Series is awesome and I've been meaning to pick up where I left off.  But I can't find a moment in my day or night to just chillax with a great book.

Honestly I can't remember if I read this one yet.   I pretty much just went through The Misters vast collection of Terry Pratchett novels looking for a cover that would make for beautiful nail art.  Feet of Clay won!

Then I got to the feet and started regretting my decision :(.  Trying to draw feet on your nails is hard enough.  A foot with 6 toes IMPOSSIBLE haha.  Did my best and got 4 toes on there lol.

The bubbles are definitely my favorite.  It's why I chose this book.  For this design all I used were dotting tools, the ends of some of my brushes and my favorite homemade nail art brush.  Homemade? You ask.  It's just an old liquid eyeliner brush I cleaned and cut a tiny bit of girth off of.  WHAT!!?!! Lol Do you have any nifty handmade nail art tools?

Polishes Used:

• Essie Mesmerize
• Wet n Wild Black Creme
• Wet n Wild Red Red
• Sinful Colors Pull Over

31 Day Challenge 2.0 Day 20

Hey there beautiful people!  It's day 20 of the challenge and the theme is Water Marble.  I'm definitely not a huge fan of doing water marble.  They are extremely beautiful and I love them when someone else like Victoria of Victoria's Nails or Jessica of Gorjess Nails does it.  Their water marble manicures are always flawless and magical to me.  I normally don't have the patience for it.  That is probably why I steer clear of doing it, if I can.  Couldn't do that today, my slight OCD would never allow me to miss a day if it's not an emergency.  I'm happy to share with all of you water marble nail art I'm actually proud of.

It took 2 failed attempts before I finally got it right.  My only regret is not doing it last night when I originally planned to.  I sort of got stuck watching Friends with Benefits.  Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis are HOT!! :) 

My first attempt was with completely different colors and I tried using a small dappen glass for the water.  That was just a mess and apparently my water was too warm.  For my second attempt I used my usual small glass bowl with room temperature water.  I then realized the nail polishes I was using wasn't working well. 

I took a deep breath and a Cheez-It break with Micah before getting back at it.  I changed my color scheme and nail polishes.  Changed up the pattern that I was dropping the polish into the water.  I honed in on some patience, then it all came together.  It isn't perfection but this is a water marble win for me!!! 

Polishes Used:

• Wet n Wild French White Creme
• Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear The Real Teal
• Sinful Colors Clementine
• Essie Mesmerize

Another 10 challenges down only 11 more to go.  What was your favorite manicure for the Pattern Themes?  It's definitely hard for me to choose, but I would have to say Tribal and Galaxy.  But I really do love them ALL!!
