"Hime Valentine 2"

Hey guys. So a couple days ago I was all flustered running around getting errands done before work and broke 2 corners off my nails in a cab door! :(
Not to worry, it just meant I got another excuse to re-do my nails, plus I needed a fill anyways.
Voila!


I wish my camera could show more of the blingy-bling but this is as good as it gets. I <3333 doing nails like this! Super cute, super kawaii, super gyaru, even. After filling my clear tips, I used Sally Hansen Diamond Shine 320 Must Have Iris and L.A. Colors BCC 555 Silver glitter towards the tips, then lots of sparkly blingy junk!The 3-d heart in the middle came out way clearer than I wanted (supposed to be pink acrylic) but it's all good. ^_^ 

AND- I made this necklace:


Because I <333 Ariel. I'm going back to sleep. See ya!

"New Year for New Nails!"

Hey everyone! Welcome to 2012. It should be a damn good year. Anyways I got my internet back up and running so I'm thrilled to be able to update on my compy instead of a cell phone. So check dees out:





Did these on full cover nails in December. It was great. I was thinking about Cinderella and Disney Princesses at the time!






These were my new years' blinggity bling. I really liked doing these and finally got some silver crackle and paired it on top of white for a bright foil texture, and added 3 kinds of glitter! They were sexy. Still are sexy! Even my new digital camera doesn't do em justice

So that's the start of the new year! Keep checking back

"My gift to you"

Hey guys. These are nails I did 2 weeks ago and haven't had time to upload. I did them again on full cover glue-on nails


I don't have a tutorial on this but wanted to draw attention to a key glitter used for these which is a new one from Wet n Wild Fastdry 238C Party of Five Glitters. It has big glitter and red and green stand out in it and make it an awesome holiday color. All the new Wet N Wild Fastdry line is pretty awesome so check em out!

"Candy Canes"

Happy Holidays. Well they're coming quicker than ever. I'm not a huge fan of Christmas but I think Occupy Wall St has me in better spirits. And the NBA lockout is over! Not a bad season at all.
Anyways, I don't have much for a tutorial on this, but here's the gist of it:





Start by painting nails red or hot pink works, too. I painted on top of full cover fake nails from the drugstore. Just tape them to toothpicks or something to keep from touching them. Paint a very fine glitter on top, or something foil-y. You don't want it too glittery yet. Use a white nail art striper and go to town. Check a photo for the pattern. Then I added a fine silver glitter
striper on top of the white. Voila!
More holiday nails are coming, keep checking back!
