Diagonal Zebra Tip Over French Tip

 Hey guys! Another quick post today. I had been wanting to do a french manicure for a while but once I was done it seemed a bit too plain for me so I added the zebra print over it. OPI Glints Of Glinda is the base and OPI Alpine snow is on the tips, the zebra print is done with acrylic paint. 

Paw Prints

 Another quick post today, this is a design I have done before but have never shown here. It always get so many compliments but is so simple and quick to do so I thought it was about time I posted it. OPI Alpine Snow is the base and the paws were done with black acrylic paint and a dotting tool.

Candy Corn No Water Marble

 Just a quick post today. I wanted to do candy corn tips like last year but try it a different way. I loved the fall no water marble from a few weeks ago so I went with that idea. I used OPI Barre My Soul as the base and Alpine Snow, A Roll In The Hague and L'Oreal Tweet Me. The colors a a bit too swirled together on my index finger but other than that I like the way it turned out.

Bloody Nails

 I just couldn't stand it any longer, I had to start doing nail art for Halloween. I saw some nail polish strips a few weeks ago that were bloody and it seemed easy enough to try it. I started with a white polish base and then added red polish near the cuticle with lines and drops. If I had been smarter at the moment I would have used a dotting tool for the bloody drips.

Sally Hansen White Veil

 Hey guys! Do you have any exciting plans this weekend? Not really exciting for us but we are spending most of it preparing to move. Even though all of our stuff will be gone by the end of the week, for some reason, that doesn't stop me from buying new polish but it probably should. 

 White Veil is such an odd polish to me I just couldn't help myself. It is a clear base with small white hex glitter and medium gold hex glitter. I'm not a huge fan of gold but I really like this one, probably because there isn't much gold in it. Picture is one coat over Wet N Wild Black Creme with top coat. My index finger does have a bit of a thicker coat. You could wear this alone with probably three coats but I think it looks amazing layered like this rather than being opaque and having all the glitter mesh together. 

 Here is White Veil with NYC Matte Me Crazy top coat.

 Do you have any odd polishes?

Revlon Runway Pearl

 Hey everyone! Today I have Revlon Runway Pearl, a milky white with a delicate pink shimmer. The shimmer isn't very noticeable unless direct light hits it but it is pretty. The picture is three coats, it is a little thin and still has visible nail line, other that that I had no problems. 

 I feel like I have really been into these light, sheer polishes lately, maybe because I am ready for spring weather since we are still getting snow here? Do you find yourself wearing different types of polish during different seasons?

TiNS The Happy Milk

 Such a weird name, The Happy Milk, but a beautiful polish. It is a milky, translucent white with iridescent glitter, very soft looking. It is a bit sheer, despite being a tad thick, and I used three coats here with topcoat since it dries somewhat dull and bumpy. You can see a tiny hint of my nail line but I still love it. 

 What do you think about this one? Do you wear polishes like this?

V-Day Pink/Red Sponged Tiger Print

 Yeah, another tiger print, you should know by now. This one is pink to red fade with glitter. I had to do one for Valentines day because I've had it in my head a while and figured it would be perfect for it. 

 Start out with a white base. It doesn't have to be perfect, most of it will be covered up later anyway. 

 Sponge on pink acrylic paint leaving a little bit of white near the cuticle. Don't worry about being too neat, you can clean up around the nail later.

 With red acrylic paint do the same thing leaving a bit of pink showing.

 At this point I went ahead and cleaned up the acrylic paint but you can always wait until after top coat if you like. I added a red and silver glitter, Gettin' Miss Piggy With It, over the pink and red.

 Make your tiger print with black acrylic paint, you can see my tutorial on that here. Add top coat and your finished.

 Do you have you Valentines day manicure planned out? What will you be wearing? 

Halloween Candy Corn French Tutorial

 I have been wanting to do a french manicure for a while and since I haven't done one in so long I thought it should be candy corn french tips for Halloween. This is so easy but very cute. 

 If you would like to see the tutorial for this design keep reading.

Plaid With Tutorial

 It's been a long time since I have done any nail art. I just haven't been motivated I guess. Since plaid nails have been on my list for a while I tried it out the other day and took pictures along the way so I could do a mini tutorial. 

 The base is Going Bananas that I already had on because it got smudged bad when I put new top coat over it and I really didn't want to take it off.

 I mixed a teal blue in acrylic paint for the first stripes. I did a wide stripe across near the cuticle and a thin stripe near the tip, then a thin stripe going down.

 Next was white, one stripe going down on the opposite side of the blue and one across beside the wide blue near the cuticle. 

 Last I added black, two stripes going down and one across.

 Top coat was last. I really like the plaid look. It was simple and looks much better in person. As you can see my stripes are no where near perfect. It doesn't matter though because to the normal eye, not pictures zoomed in, you don't notice much. 

 Obviously, there are many ways to do plaid. This is just the way I did it to give you a basic idea. I want to try this in black and pink next. 

 Have you tried plaid nails yet? Is there a design you would like to see a tutorial for?

Pink sponged Tiger/Zebra stripes

 I love the way my last pedicure turned out. It was my first time using the sponge technique. It was pretty easy and I was disappointed that I was afraid to try it before. 

 I used OPIs Alpine Snow, ElePhantastic Pink, Black Onyx and a bit of Show it and Glow It on a few of the stripes to add some sparkle.
