Glitter Fade + 3D Stars!

I love doing glitter acrylix mixes like this but I don't know why I still do it since I get sick of them in like 2 days, and you can't take them off like nail polish. Anyways, I did four different color mixes with my Martha Stewart glitters, the pink/silver is called Kunzite, the purple/silver is called Purple Sapphire, the green/silver and green/gold is Golden Beryl mixed with Peridot (my August birthstone!) and the turquoise is of course Turquoise.

I have a few thousand of these flat star confetti, which look really cool embedded under the acrylic.

Hopefully I'll figure out a way to do nail art somehow on top of this nail design when I get super bored of them.

Also, I'm having problems with my computer! I've been looking at everyones blog but I can't comment! When I write a comment on your post, it asks me to sign in, then I sign in again and it keeps putting me in a loop! So I'm sorry, to my fav bloggers, I am reading you but I can't talk to you- if anyone knows how to help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Pokeballs!

So my girlfriend Chrissy is going to Fanime this weekend and is dressing up as Pikachu, so we looked up different Pokeballs to put on her nails! There are sooooo many different kinds! I thought there was only one (the red and white one). Well, I'm not going to list the names of the different Pokeballs since I really am not familiar with any of them.

Pikachu! I choose you!!!

Checkers and Marker Henna

I painted my nails this dark purple color that doesn't have a name, and was inspired to draw a henna design on my hands and arms (get this) inspired by my henna-inspired nails lol!!

I think it came out alright (my marker henna), I hopefully want to get into doing actual mehndi on my friends' hands as soon as this summer. I'm just getting my practice on!

I painted on light purple checkers on my ring finger (to cover up a chip of the dark purple that had fallen off). It came out alright, considering it's hard to paint on perfect squares as you all know. Especially hard since my hands were shaky due to a severe coffee buzz from earlier. Well lemme know what you think!

Pink Wednesday: Stripes and Zebra Stripes

I'm really running out of pinks for Pink Wednesdays because all my pinks are hot or bright pinks and they all show up the same or really similar in pictures! This is OPIs Elephantastic Pink that Chrissy keeps leaving at my house. I painted my nails white, then a big bold stripe of pink diagonally, then I painted on zebras and out lined the pink with more black and added the stripes. I'm really proud of myself for taking my time on the straight stripes. Sometimes when I work too fast, I make them uneven and they look really bad, but this is good enough for me. Happy Pink Wednesday! and go to http://www.onwednesdayswewearpink.com to join us!

Henna Inspired (NATURAL) Design!

For those of you TV junkies like myself, you know that the season finale of the first season of Outsourced was last week; Rajiv got married and they had a big long Indian wedding episode with a segment where all the women did henna on their hands and arms for a day! I was so inspired I almost started drawing all over my hand with a brown marker.

I started with Sinful Colors "This Is It" gold nail polish with two coats, then painted swirlies, leaves, flowers, paisleys, and dots all over the gold leaving enough room to see the background color.

If you can't already tell, I have pulled off my acrylics and posted my natural nails for the first time...prolly ever on my blog. If you see natural nails on here, they are probably Chrissy or Oddrey's hands.
The most recent set of acrylics I had put on during Mardi Gras, so they had grown out quite a bit. When I pulled the acrylic (carefully) off my nails, they were perfectly squared tips , so they look just like they did with the acrylics on, only thinner!

As you can see in the bottom picture, I angled my nails to show you how thin they are after pulling the acrylic off. I just painted on one coat of white for ultra original French tips for the photo, and 2 coats of Seche Vite Dry-Fast top coat!

Let's see how long I can go before applying a full set again.

The Incredible Hulk

Oh man, this took forever. Oddrey wanted the Incredible Hulk nails and we had to paint the "Marvel" thumb 3 times because I didn't leave enough room, the Hulk eye pointer finger 2 times because the first eye looked like a zombie, and the Hulk spread over 3 nails... I'm pretty happy with the way it came out though!

San Francisco BAY TO BREAKERS Nails!

YAYYYY! Bay To Breakers 100th year is coming up this Sunday!!! For those of you who don't know, Bay To Breakers is an annual footrace here in San Francisco, CA. It is 12K (7miles) and runs from the Embarcadero (the bay) to Ocean Beach (where the waves break)! This will be my 3rd year (not running; walking and getting drunk) and I am very very excited for this very special milestone in SF history!

Here on my nails, I've done a little Golden Gate Bridge on my thumb, and Bay To Breakers 100 on the rest of the nails. You can't see it very well but I tried to tie-dye the backgrounds of my four fingers.

Here's a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge- note: I forgot top coat, this would have been SUCH a nice turnout without the brush stroke marks :( .

OK I kinda messed up this post, but the picture in the middle is me and my boyfriend at B2B 2010, which was the 99th year! Yay, that's also when I JUST started doing nail art too. My blogiversary is coming up soon!
