Y mas nails por favor....

More of lately. Those heavy metal ones I did for an Alice in Chains concert and it was an incredible night! \m/

Disney Princess Cameos 2!

Round 2 on myself, I'm in love!

"Disney Princess Cameos"

Check em out! I love em I gotta do these on myself soon. I got this awesome set of pink glitters I've been mixing around :)

Done with school!

All that's left is taking the state test soon. Otherwise it turns out I didn't get the best education but the best part of this industry is how easy it is to breakout on your own and self educate. I can't wait to get involved with mpls' cosmetology community. And I'm back on my smelly acrylic, sorry Clarite, its been real, but no thanks ;)

"Glam Princess"

I know I gotta diversify and break outta the kawaii/ princess nail rut, but it's such a cute style and IDGAF!

"Fairy Kei Nights"

Yeeah-yeeah! And I used that clarite for it. I'm getting a litle more comfortable with it. But mainly I haven't checked out another system. We'll see! :)

"charm school"

I was feelin pink and plaid/ argyle. I wanted to girl it up with some 3d flowers that came out great, but the idea clashes. There's a competition coming in April so I gotta step the 3d game up :)

"School of Kawaii"

So I wanted to do something cute with a gingham print. I'm not in love with the yellow/ orange color I picked, actually I do love it, but I should've done a more consistent color scheme. Oh well- still super kawaii ^_^

They are just hand-painted on full cover glue-ons. I realized the trick to make a good gingham pattern is to use more sheer polishes, and pick a polish only slightly darker for the intersections. I learned something, and that's what's up ^_^

"Sakura"

Hot damn! I finally did some 3d Japanese-style artwork. Check it:

As for a tutorial, I watched dozens on youtube and practiced on quite a few nails before attempting to sculpt the acrylic on my own nails. I did this all in clear acrylic and painted over it, which is tedious and takes longer, but I also feel like since it was my first time sculpting, clear is a good choice to hide mistakes, you can just paint what it SHOULD look like on top. Anyways I f***ing LOVE these nails, and I'm thrilled with how they came out on BOTH hands. 

Katy Perry, I'm ready whenever you are! Bring Lady Gaga ;)
