"Animal Planet"

Hey guys, sorry I've been on a brief hiatus. I've been really involved in Occupy Minnesota in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. It's definitely a hell of an adventure, and if you're against corporate greed and government corruption, join an occupation near you!

That said, here's some nails I did a few weeks but didn't have time to upload.

Anyways, I have to go to bed so no tutorial on this. Just sponge if it's semi-sheer, paint the yellow to pink gradient on your nails. Use a silver nail art brush for accents. Top off the details with a black nail art pen. Rawr!

"Hello Kitty Blue and Purple"

Took off the acrylics I had for Mom's visit. You should've seen em I didn't get a chance to take a photo, so they're like my nail secret. Anyways, Here's some short cuteness. I got another package of nail junk from eBay so I wanted to make sure it worked, lol! No tutorial, anything goes with nail bling ^_^

So yeah, check out ebay for nail art, you can get really cheap stuff with free shipping to the US, just as long as you're patient!

These nails remind me of Britney's Curious perfume. I water marbled, then added goodies!

L.A. Colors BCC 580 Teal 

L.A. Colors BCC 575 Pink

L.A. Colors Metallic Charcoal (from metallics set)

Sally Hansen Xtreme 220 Celeb City

White nail art star confetti (2.5mm)

Green and Pink nail rhinestones (1-2mm)

Method Used:

I chose not to prime my nails this time, so the metallic polish would be more sheer. My nails are clear acrylic

Coat 1: Create a water bullseye dropping one of each polish at a time, I used 2 drops for each teal

Coat 2: I made random swirls in the water for my design

Coat 3: Dip in favorite spot!

Coat 4: No glitter this time! Use clear coat to set rhinestones and stars randomly, and to cover up mistakes

This is a sexy one!
