Super kawaii April- Cotton Candy/ Lemonade

Hey, kids! I'm still alive, wish I had a better camera, but whatever- IDGAF! Here's some things I've done recently (always practicing nails like a BOSS)

There are all hand-painted, done on full-cover glue-on nails...and it's damn near summer so you know I gotta get my pedicure on! Fairy kei fa' liffffe!

"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 ^_^

"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!
