OMD July 31 Day Nail Art Challenge- Day 11 Rainbow

Again I had to look for inspiration as I was not coming up with anything off the top my head. I loved the look of this rainbow nail art and had it stowed in my to do folder for a while now. My re-creation was not the best, but loved the way my thumb nail turned out.

Nail-Art-A-Go-Go:Warm vs Cool

Good Grief, it is another snow day, they are saying up to 12″. Me being the idiot I am came to work again as I did not want to use a personal day or vacation time if I did not show up( some people have already used all of their days up from not coming in from previous snow days already). On to the mani. I loved doing my fire flies gradient that I decided to do it again for this time using Fimo canes. My first time doing it was here and here .

I know I need a a refill so please ignore that part I will be buying acrylic once I get some dough.

August 19th-25th challenge- Sand

So I finally did it and bough acrylic paint and  and boy was I happy. It was so easy to work with. I bough a cheap 14 color pack at Micheal’s craft store, but from what I hear online it was the right kind as it kind of had a water consistency. I heard if the paint is more solid it was not good to work with.

I wanna apologize in advance for my pictures. I did not clean my sponge when I was doing the gradient hence the bumps which are pieces of sponge that I could not get off. Also you can see cat hair that escaped my notice after I put on a top coat.

This idea is not my own and I got it from Nail Pro Magazine.  If you can’t see the image it is supposed to be waves washing up on a beach at sunset. ( whew long description).

OMD 31 day nail art challenge Day 5-Skittle mani

I posted 2 today as it would be weird for me to walk around with 4th of July nails tomorrow.

 

I have never done a skittle mani before and had to look this one up. From what I read you can either have each of your nails a different color or have different designs on each nail. I have seen others with different designs on each of their nails and think its pretty. I though in head that if I tried that it would look like chaos.

I gave it a shot and liked what came out, I think it worked as I had a theme in mind which was 4th of July.I did everything I could think of stripes, dots,gradient, and stamping, Even Used nail polish called Fireworks.

Where I want to be

So I picked up this nail magazine from Sally’s called Nail It! It had some cool stuff in it and I am thinking about subscribing. I checked out their website and saw a beach mani that I had to do, as I had all the tools.

South Carolina Here I Come

So one of my co-workers asked if I wanted to go to South Carolina with her, of course I did not hesitate and said yes. My second thought was what am I going to do on my nails. I ended up with a beautiful sunset design on my nails and multicolored toes with Rhinestones.

April 30 day nail art challenge Day 27 Inspired by a Tutorial

There is so much great art out there that I did not know which one to chooses from. What I ended up doing was picking a number and then going on YouTube and going down the list till I got to the number I picked. The tutorial I ended up on was a reciprocal gradient mani done by SimpleLittlePleasues . I have never heard of this and when I saw her cover image I was hooked to try it. Mine does not look as sharp as hers, but practice makes perfect, you can check out the tutorial here.
