Gold Finger

Hey Y'all! Happy Valentine's Day! I changed my manicure today since all of my jems fell off doing housework. LOL! Since I have another week before I do a fill in I decided to do a quick, simple & elegant design.
I used NK Taupe Extreme, NK Mardi Gras & Sally Hansen 22k along with some small gold hexagons to create the look. Hope you 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.

Friday I'm In Love!

Hey Y'all! Happy Friday!Here is a Valentine's Day design I created for Robin Moses & professionalDQ's Friday I'm in love collaboration. I really had a lot of fun last time with the Let It Snow collaboration so I definately wanted to enter.

This design was inspired by this design I found on tumblr. I'm not sure of the artist's name because the site is in Japanese. But her work is lovely!

Hope you all like it!

I'm taking a break from inlaid designs

Hey Y'all. I have decided to give my nails a break from the long and inlaid designs. I'll be changing my design weekly so those I will post here. This week I went with a simple leopard design with a funky twist. Hope you like it!

To create this look I used Color Club Earthy Angel and Rebel Spirit and Ruby Kisses Pure Black polishes.

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!
