Colorful Leopard & Gold

Hello lovers! How are you? My week didn't go according to plan.  I don't have the complete look post for you today :(.  I still wanted to do a post.  So here's a quick nail art one.

No, my nails did not grow that fast, I wish.  They're actually even shorter than my previous post.  Did some deep cleaning and ruined my nails.  I did these before the watermelon nails.  Took a long time to post it, eh?  These were inspired by my toe separators.  Yes they are THAT cute hehe.  Every time I did a pedicure I thought to myself "I need to do this print on my nails".  It took 2 years but I did it...yeah.  The base polish is Sinful Colors Clementine and for the spots I used Sephora for O.P.I It's My Pink and Sally Hansen Good To Grape.  The studs are from Born Pretty Store...of course! 

I'm going to take this moment to move on to the gold accent nails.  Ummmm...IN LOVE!  This is O.P.I Honey Ryder and I can't stand how gorgeous it is.  It took me forever to own it and I feel so complete now.  I seriously couldn't stop staring at it, very distracting.  If you don't have Honey Ryder I suggest you get up on that.  You won't regret it ;).

Thanks For Stopping By!

Tropical Floral Nail Art

Hello! Hello! I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was very low key, I've been playing a lot of PVZ Garden Warfare and watching The Strain.  I'm seriously hooked.   But I found the strength to pull myself away and do my nails.  I'm so happy I did.  I told you in my last post that I would do one more summer themed nail art and here it is.

Guys! Guys! I am so proud of these.  I've wanted to do a design like this for like forever.  I just never had the balls to sit down and do it.   I thought I would just fail epically.   I'm my own worst critic :/.

The base I used is Sinful Colors New Wave. A gorgeous navy blue cream and a one coater to boot. For the design itself I used acrylic paint.  The biggest discouragement for me when it comes to designs like this is the large amount of colors you need.  Going through my nail polish collection to find the colors I need is exhausting.  But using acrylic paint made that easy.  All the colors I would need is in a nice easily accessible box.

Don't worry I'm still a nail polish junkie.  Right now I'm stalking Ulta.com waiting for the O.P.I Peanuts Collection to release.  I need to get my hands on Where's My Blanket? and To Be Or Not To Beagle.

I hope you like these nails as much I do.  I'm itching to play in makeup so my next post might be a Complete Look/Get Ready With Me post ;). Till next time!

Sweet Summer Nail Art

Hey Loves!  Today I have some delicious nail art for you....watermelon!  Watermelon nail art is really big this season.  I've been seeing it all over the place.  Different styles and variations.  I chose to do the ruffian style watermelon slice and an accent nail with little watermelon slices. 

I'm so so happy with the way these came out.   Both designs were really easy to do.  For the ruffian I used a striper brush to do the outline and first coat.  After it dried I went in with a second coat using the brush that comes with the polish. For the seeds I just used a dotting tool. 

To do the smaller slices I used a small detail nail art brush. I just drew a triangle and outlined the base of it with green.  I used the smallest dotting tool for the seeds but you can also use a toothpick.

Polishes Used:
Revlon Spirit
Revlon Black Magic
China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy
Maybelline Color Show Bleached Neons Lime Accent

I hope you liked my watermelon nails as much as I do.  Summer is almost over so I'm going to try to squeeze in at least one more summer design.   What are some of your favorite summer trends for nails?

Pastel Galaxy & Floral Nail Art

Hey Dolls, I hope everyone is having a great week thus far.  It's so gloomy in NYC right now.  A perfect day to stay indoors and organize nail decorations, clean, watch Teen Wolf and even do a blog post.  Today I will be talking about nails I posted a few days ago on Instagram and Tumblr. Without the missing stud and minus the filter hehe.

For like forever I've wanted to do pastel galaxy nails and do galaxy drips again.  I'm so happy I finally did it lol. Everyone said the galaxy drip nail looks like an ice cream cone until I tell them what it is lol.  If you want to know how I did it you can check out my post from the first time I did galaxy drips here.

I LOVE floral nails, especially these.  But the next time I do a design like this, I'll try to not do it at 2am lol.  The amount of nail polishes needed alone is what made this design exhausting.  That won't stop me from doing it again...soon hehe.  The only tools I used for the flowers were a small nail art brush and my tiny detail brush, I made from a liquid eyeliner brush.  With the small nail art brush I used a light dotting motions to shape the flowers.  Then with the detail brush I placed lines and dots for depth.

Polishes Used:

• Models Own Juicy Jules (thumb)
• O.P.I Save Me (thumb)
• Revlon Spirit (galaxy & floral)
• Icing No Name Powder Pink (galaxy)
• Essie Bikini So Teeny (floral)

For next weeks' post I'm planning on doing a hair post.  I'm finally going to share with all of you my Natural Hair Routine and Favorite Products (at the moment).  Until next time...

Graffiti Nail Art

HI!!!! I know, it's been AGES.  Sorry about the hiatus. Micah got sick then I got sick and it just threw off my mojo.  I'm getting it back, little by little :).  My birthday was 2 weeks ago and I couldn't celebrate without doing my nails.  That would've been just blasphemous.

I wanted something bright and fun to help me out of my little funk. These definitely did the trick.  I wuv how these came out.  Super easy to do and now I want ALL of the Formula X for Sephora glitters.  Just look at TNT! Ugh so gorge-balls.

To get this look I randomly sponged Revlon Black Magic over my Revlon Spirit.  Followed by one healthy coat each of Formula X TNT and Mind Blowing.  For an extra pop of color I used neon pink square studs I got from Born Pretty.

I just want to apologize again for vanishing.  Winter does things to me lol. I hibernate and it's inexcusable haha. I'll see you next week with a St. Patricks Day post.

Thanks for stopping by!

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

Sephora by O.P.I Caught With My Khakis Down
