friend cameo: seahorse nails!

Posted by Unknown on Thursday, May 5, 2011

Hey guys!
Today I won't be showing you my own nails. They are my friend Victoria's! I did her nails once before and posted them because they were great, and these are too. (Click here to see the first ones.)
I had planned to show the nails I'm sporting now but I did these today and had to post them!

I bought her China Glaze Electric Pineapple, and I used it on her today.
And did a gradient. And added bubbles. And a seahorse.


I started with a close up so the preview of this post won't be someone else's nails and alarm everyone. Hah!

I. Love. Gradients.
I know I said I was going to do a tutorial last week but I'm having a bit of a hard time trying to take photos as I go while doing it. I might need a guest photographer! Hah.
I want to do a video tutorial but my Rebel doesn't take videos and my old camera doesn't take high quality ones.


How cute are the seahorses?!
These images came from a fauxnad plate from a set of 30 on ebay, the number on it is m04.

I NEED seahorse nails now. Victoria spotted the image on the plate and I am so happy she did. Haha!

For these nails I used:
China Glaze - Electric Pineapple
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Going Green
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Blue Me Away!
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Whirlwind White
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Presto Pink
And little pearls from a wheel from ebay.


Super duper cute. While doing these nails I tried 2 new techniques I kinda came up with recently. One of those will be included in my gradient tutorial when I manage to do it correctly, and the other one needs a bit more testing, but I hope to show that to you guys soon if it continues to work.

P.S. I may or may not have picked up some things for another giveaway today... almost at 500 followers! Suspense!
