Hey y'all! I was inspired to do my design for New Year's by Ladynails of Wild Side Nails. The last couple of times she has done her hands with the same design but different colors. I really like that a lot and think it is so striking! So in the middle of planning my design I threw that idea in the mix and this is what I came up with!
Part 1 is the left hand. I will be doing part 2 in the next couple of days since I didn't record doing the left hand LOL. I will do it in stilletto form on a practice finger so stay tuned for that! For the left hand I used a mixture of NSI Plum and Basic black, NSI Basic Black, gold holographic foil flakes I won from designernailvideos, and plum diamond confetti that I won from Lysa209.
Hey Y'all! I came up with this design while trying to figure out what to do to my nails for New Year's. I also did this because I wanted to practice sculpting stilletto tips. I decided against doing stilletto tips on myself because as you can see, I need Practice LOL!
The design itself is very simple and I only used a few items. I used NSI Basic Black acrylic, silver holographic striping tape and a Chanel sticker from Born Pretty store. Hope you like it!
Hey Y'all! The design that I am about to show you was intended to be a full hand design. Unfortunately there was a bit of a mishap and the main nail got lost! LOL!!! But I definately wanted to show you all the rest of the design before the Holiday came upon us. This was another hand painted design so of course I needed to consult with Robin Moses' videos to get my inspiration! I used several products from Hypnotix Boutique LLC. I have them listed in the videos that I will post below. The color acrylics I used were Bold White and Live It Up Sparkle along with an iridescent lilac glitter mix I made a long time ago and the purple holographic diamond confetti I got from Born Pretty store. The acrylic paints that I used were dark purple, green, white and gold.
Now let me give you the background info on this design because it's funny...=) I wanted to make a purple design for Christmas and the 1st thing that came to mind was the Sugar Plum Fairy from the Christmas ballet the Nutcracker. After google pictures for inspiration I figured out the position for my fairy and of course decided to put her on the Thumb nail of the design. I also came across pictures of Sugar plums and sugar plum decoration so I decided to make a Christmas tree on the ring finger and make a garland on the rest as the manicure line.
After successfully getting the nails done and the design painted and recorded of the tree and garland pictures, I started out with the hardest one...the fairy. I got all the way to the end of the painting and it actually was looking kind of awesome but then I totally went coocoo and messed it up! XD So I took off the paint and decided to start over another day because I was obviously sick of it. When I went to look for the nail to redo it a few days later....I couldn't find it anywhere!!! I think that my cats may have been playing with it....I bet now that I have posted the video I'll find it in a corner somewhere on Christmas morning LOL! Don't they just look like trouble! =)
Anyway, I decided to just post the garland and tree designs in time for Christmas. The video below is what I recorded of painting the fairy. I sped it up a lot. It's pretty funny watching it go wrong! XD I hope all have a blessed and happy Holiday!
This is my 1st New Year's design. I used lilac holographic glitter scrylic, gold holographic glitter acrylic and a chunky pink metallic glitter mix. I put a confetti mix I got from confetti.com and large pink hexagons and shred glitters in it as well.
Hey y'all! this design was inspired by HelloKittyKrazy. It's another design I created for the Summer Treats series. To create this design I used yellow, pink, orange & purple glitter mixes along with a Hello Kitty fimo and a yellow & pink heart confetti to create the background. Then I used some color acrylics to create a lollipop and hard candy. Hope you enjoy!
Hey Y'all! I know it's been quite some time since I last posted a new design so today I will add a few for you. I'm really really sorry but it's peak at my job and we have mandatory overtime every week and I am just exhausted!!!
Ok now the 1st design Im going to post was for a challenge by luisbalma over on youtube to recreate one of his designs. I chose one that he did with lace ribbon on the tip. Check that design out here.
For my version I used pink lace ribbon over a french manicure with pink & white hollow heart confetti, pearls and a pearl heart. I got the ribbon from Joann's, the confetti from karlinsu and the pearls from ebay.
Hey Y'all! Quick post =D It's soooooo very busy at my job so my posts for the next month or so will be brief and mostly pictures. I'll try to post the important info =)
I made this design with vintage leaf glitter, silver mini beads and a Swarofvski crystal. Very blingy! =D For info on those items be sure to heck out my stuff page and my summer haul.
Hey Y'all! Since June is wedding month and right around the corner, I decided to do a few wedding looks. This design is the first of these looks. This one is...well, I'm not really too sure about this one. It's very busy because I went a little berserk and put everything in it but the kitchen sink! =D I really have been wanting to try some of my glitters and haven't had the chance because I've been so busy and when I'm not busy I'm just beat!
Anyway, for this design I used a white acrylic glitter mix as the base faded into a gold glitter mix. To create the white I used white acrylic mixed with fine, small hexagon, and shred white holographic glitters. I used small chunky and shred gold glitters mixed with clear acrylic to make the gold glitter mix. To create the bow I used white acrylic mixed with the fine white holographic glitters.
I also used some confetti in this design. I used solid and hollow heart confetti in gold and white then encapsulated the nail with clear acrylic. To decorate the nail, I created the bow with white acrylic mixed with the fine white holographic glitters. Then I used the pearl heart as the knot and surrounded that with gold mini beads.
I hope y'all like it! On a side note...next week I have off from Wednesday through the holiday. Yay!!!! So I am hoping to do a lot of designs!!! Stay tuned!
Hey Ladies! As usual, I've been shopping... I've recently been finding some good coupons for my local craft stores, so I wanted to share. I also wanted to show the last few things I got from Ebay.
I found a printable coupon for A.C. Moore for 40% off your entire purchase! Can you believe I didn't know there was one around here?! When I went to check it out, I noticed it's a bit more pricey than Michael's or JoAnn's but they have a lot of stuff that they don't as you'll see. So I was very pleased to get this coupon. Unfortunately, the last I didn't get on sale. =(
Doodlebug Sugar Coating Chunky Glitter's regular price is $19.99 but $11.99 with the 40% off coupon.
Doodlebug Sugar Coating Glitter Assortment regular price $16.99 but $10.19 with 40% off.
Craft feathers regular price $2.49 the 40% discount brought the price to $1.49 The pack came with red, blue, hot pink, green, yellow, white and purple.
I didn't get theses craft shells on sale, I can't remember exactly how much these cost but I know they were less than $4.00.
I am really sad that I didn't get these Sable Kolinsky brushes with my 40% off coupon even though I bought them the same day cause I was gonna get them @ Michael's but they didn't have any so I had to go back to A.C. Moore to get them. =( I got size 1 which cost $8 and size 2 which cost $12.
The only thing that I got from Michael's was This Martha Stewart's iridescent hearts & stars glitter. The retail price is $19.99 but it was $11.99 with the 40% off one item coupon.
These last 3 items I got from ebeautyhouse on Ebay.
I deco'd my phone up with the pearls, the pink and clear heart rhinestones I got from Karlinsu88 and some pink and clear rhinestone's I got from Michael's a while ago. =D Here's a pic... It came out OK, I should have got swarovski's though. Oh well...it's cute though =)
