"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!

"Iced Out Pink"

Hey everybody! Back to clear acrylics, and I love these!


 Products Used:
Clear Acrylic Nail Tips
Clear Acrylic powder
Iridescent glitter
Pink and White Nail confetti
Small (1mm) rhinestones (pink and clear)

Method Used:
Prep and attach nail tips
Lay down a thin coat of acrylic
While it's still wet, set in confetti
Use monomer to keep surface wet, and use a dry brush to sprinkle glitter on tips
Encapsulate glitter and confetti in a thick layer of clear acrylic. Use extra on the confetti, but not too much
Cure, and sand. DO NOT over sand the confetti area! They will lose their luster
Add clear top coat after buffing. I use Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Top Coat
While it's still wet, add rhinestones to smile line
Add Seche Vite and you're done!

I LOVE THESE!
Also, I found an awesome website with Japanese fashion magazine scans, free to download!

And click nails on the tags. Japanese nail art can be really daunting, especially as I make my way to the 3d super kawaii fairy kei style of doing things, but I'm still going to try someday!
