Pretty :)


This design I snagged off Love4nails from YouTube because she's amazing and if you havent checked her out yet, you totally should! I used a neon hot yellow and painted black, white and silver stripes with a few dots on top. Her original design had a hot pink background, but my hot pinks are shimmery and the cremes are thickening.. and I wanted a creme color as a base. But personally I think this color looks better on my skin even though pink is my favorite color. I'll try to edit this post and swap with a better picture once I find my camera cord.

Finally Leopard


Finally have a computer I can (easily) update my blog again. As for the last few months I havent posted, I will prolly quickly upload fuzzy pictures of my iPhone shots> Also, I finally started doing my acrylics again after a long break for baking and present-making.
The colors I used in this is Apricot Beige by Caronia (I've never heard of this brand but just got a load of colors from my dads house). The spots on the leopard print is a mixture of the Apricot Beige and a dark brown and orange; lined with NYC's Plaza Plumberry. Now, on to updating...

Louis Vuitton Sample Nail




Wanted to do a LV nail design, but didn't want to take my nail polish off, so did a sample nail (glued to a pencil) I'll prolly blog later on in a few weeks with this design on my hands! Love it!!

This is my nail box, there are many like it, but this one is mine...




Here is all my nail stuff. I had all this stuff out on the floor next to th computer while updating my blog... I needed it to refer to specific colors. I decided to snap a pic of it so y'all could see my madness. The pink lil bag is my acrylics, liquids, files and buffers, nail clippers, acrylic brushes and tips. And the big box is tons of polishes, rhinestones, dotting tools, little stars, glitter, pearls, stickers which I dont really use, acrylic mixes I've made, razors, striping brushes, blah blah blah... and of course my 2 Martha Stewart glitter sets <3

Mosaic/Stained Glass




This design I called a stained glass style because I outlined these little random shapes with a silver, colored them in, and then re-outlined with black. I didn't take a picture of it, but from the underside of the nail, you can see the design very clearly, so the clear tip is like a window. It's a really easy design, and is great for both hands, because it doesn't have to be perfect, so left handed is real simple.

Erin Go Braugh


It's a little early for St. Patty's Day but I wanted to try an Irish design for my girl Erin, aka Ireland- I ended up looking like a total weirdo for a few days. Asian girl with Irish nails.... Not a good look for me.

Intergalactic Fun with Martha Stewart Glitters...






FINALLY! I got the Martha Stewart glitter set!!!! (From my loving boyfriend for my birthday!) I made tons of mixes already and this is the acrylic mix I made last and have had on for about 2 weeks now. Its the Sterling (silver) glitter mixed with Lapis Lazuli (blue), Verdalite (green), and Tourmaline (pink) tinsel glitter (skinny rectangles). I thought it looked like a space party, so I painted on an adorable yet ominous UFO to match. Messed it up while drying in the 2nd picture on one of the UFO windows, but still cute.
