Strawberry Banana

Hey y'all. Here is a design that I created last summer. To create this design I used Canary Yellow and Fire Engine Red from the NSI Technail color acrylic collection, red and yellow glitter acrylics and strawberry and banana fimo slices.  You'll find the tutorial below. Hope you all enjoy!

Aquamarine

Hey Y'all! As you can see, I have decided to go back to inlaid designs again. This design was inspired by the Turquoise Waterfall design created by Nikki aka configure1973. I wanted to try it with turquoise at the french line instead of white and also I wanted to try using the soap bubbles as well. The complete list of products used is explained in the tutorial. Hope you all enjoy!

No Hard Feelings

Hey Y'all! I finally did my Valentine's Day look for this year. I found a really gorgeous color by Sally Hansen called No Hard Feelings and that is close to my favorite shades of Lilac. I decided to pair that with silver as I have some crackle polishes by Cherimoya that are very close to those same colors. I've never worn crackle polish myself so I wanted to give it a try.

I did each hand opposite each other which means that each finger is different. LOL! Is it too much?! Here is the final look! I hope you like it.

Broken Heart

Hey Yall! I did this anti-valentine theme on my nails last year. The only thing I did different was to not use the red and black chunky glitter mix.

To create this design I used NSI Basic Black & Fire Engine Red acrylic along with a mix of red holographic, small & large red hexagons and small black rectangle glitter. I also used black and silver acrylic paints to make the tear and the stitches. Hope you like it!

Inlaid Rose

Hey Y'all! I created this design because I have been wanting to try to do an inlaid 3D look. That is where the 3D object is encapsulated under the acrylic. The only thing that I don't like about the design is that there were a lot of air bubbles in it so I will have to work on that.

To create the look I used NSI Radiant White and NSI Ecstasy on the tip and used a pink mix to sculpt the rose then encapsulated the design. Hope you like it!

Pink & Silver New Year's Design 2012

Hey Y'all! As promised, here is part two of my New Year's design. As I said yesterday, when I got in the middle of doing my nails I decided to do each hand a different color. I realized that I had the same decorations in pink, silver and white. I decided to go for it because it would be a nice contrast to the dark colors I have on my left hand.

I used a mixture of NSI Radiant White and NSI Tie Dye Pink to make a pastel pink. I should have used the NSI Superfine Bold White in the mix because as you can see they didn't blend so well...Oh well, lesson learned =P Anyways then I used a silver holographic glitter acrylic I made with glitter from Designer Nail Supply (won in a contest) and NSI Radiant White on the tip.

I decided not to record doing my left hand as it is not a pretty site. =P I am practicing sculpting Stilletto tips and had tried out the purple & black on a stiletto....but it popped right off! XD I knew I needed to practice a while before doing it on my own nails plus I wanted to see how it would look. Having said all that, I decided to continue my practice while recording the design in these colors. Hope you all enjoy!

Purple & Gold New Year's Design 2012

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.

Hope you like it! Happy New Year!

Chanel Inspired New Year's Design 2012

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!

Candy Canes with Holly

Hey Y'all! Here is a candy Cane look that I came up with for Christmas. I used holographic glitter acrylic to reate the nail and painted the candy cane stripes with white acrylic paint before encapsulating. Then I used NSI Leaf Green acrylic to create the Holly leaves and red rhinestones for the berries. I did one look as a french tip and another full nail. Hope you all like it. Happy Holidays!
