Glitter French

Time to lighten things up! I went with a glitter french here. The base color is Essie Starter Wife, the silver tip is Zoya Trixie and the gold line is L.A. Colors Art Deco Gold Glitter. The pics were taking outside in the sunlight. I normailly wera darker colors, so it’s weird seeing my nails like this!

On another note, you can see I need some serious help with my cuticles. I found this cute shop on Etsy called CozyMoments. Besides some Body Butter, I also ordered some Nourishing Nail and Cuticle Balm. Hopefully it helps. I’ll write up a review and let you know!

Zoya Polishes Came In!

Yay! I got my Zoya polishes in from the twitter promo. I ordered Dovima matte, Loredana matte, and Trixie. I love the look of the mattes but man, they do not hold up well at all. I just did them yesterday and this morning the polish is completely off 4 of my nails and half off of two of them. Sadness, because I thought it looked really cute

I wanted to try to stamp Trixie on using Konad. I wasn’t sure it would work but I thought the look of a foil finish on top of the matte would look neeat. And it works great!  Trixie picked up easy from the Konad plate and went on the nails easily.

So here’s the look. Two coats of Zoya Dovima Matte. Konad plate m64 and Zoya Trixie. Click on the images if you wanna see the bigger pictures:

 

Kick Ass Nails: Vol. I

While searching around for nail designs to look at I came across some terrific, dare I say, kick ass nail designs.  I’m going to post a few here so you can check ‘em out and go to their websites to see more.  (If I listed your design and blog, and for some reason you don’t want it here, please let me know and I’ll take it down). I hope you enjoy these as much as I have!

Gothic Lolita Manicure at Nails by Asami. I’d love to post a picture here, but I can’t grab it from her blog. Click on the link to see the kick ass nails though! It’s SO worth it. It’s a  clean black and white design using Konad, freehand, and nail stickers.  Very creative and it would sure stand out in a crowd. She has a tutorial up to on how she did it. 

Nautical Themed Nail Art at I Love Nail Polish.  Light and preppy, kinda the opposite of the Gothic Lolita Manicure but I love it just as much! I can picture the girl wearing these hanging out on an expensive yacht drinking champagne and enjoying life. She really captured the nautical theme perfectly, don’t you think? Perfect colors and perfect design.  Looks like she did it all freehand.  Simply gorgeous. Can’t wait to see more nail designs from her!

 

 

If you’re looking for a pretty, subtle, and feminine look check out Never Too Much Glitter’s Konad Flower French .  I can totally picture a bride sporting this look on her wedding day. A beautiful classic french jazzed up with Konad flowers. It would also be pretty for work too if you work in an office type setting.

 

 

 

Thanks for sharing your nail designs and pictures! I really enjoy them, and I hope you do too!

Fire flame nails

I wanted something a little different, so I went with flame nails. They came out ok…some nails are better than others. I started with Wet n Wild Wild Shine in Black Creme. Then, using a small brush, I put some yellow flames on using Sally Hansen Insta-dri in Lightening. When the yellow flames dried, I went over them with Funky Fingers Electric Senset. Finally for the glitter I used L.A. Colors Art Deco in Gold Glitter only on the flames, and a little bit over them. I’ll have to prctice on how to make better looking flames, but not bad for my first try, eh?

Pink and black nails

This looked pretty good until I put the top coat on. The top coat smeared it. Sigh. Anyhoo, I used Funky Fingers in Screamin’ Fucshia and Konad Special Black with Konad plate m57

Ok, I guess I owe someone $2.36 in change since Jon and Kate are getting divorced…Dammit!  I’m interested to see how the show is gonna go now. I DO feel bad for the kids, but I’m glad Jon finally grew a set!
