A Few Random Mani's

Hey guys,

So a have several mani's that I never got around to posting or that I didn't really like how they photographed,  looked etc.  I decided I would do a little spam post for you all with them.  I hope you enjoy!

Watercolor nails with a glitter cross accent, I hated how this one photographed the colors were not showing up well at all

Oklahoma Love mani, I used Gumdrop as the base and acrylic paint for the Oklahoma outline and the heart

Tribal mani, trying to do something inspired by Mr. Candiipants but I totally did not fill in that middle finger very well at all and I didn't see it till I took pics. I used Sinful Colors Bikini and a black striper polish

China Glaze Keep Calm and Paint On with little gems as and accent

Orly Royal Navy, this one is impossible for me to photograph good, it always shows visible nail line and in real life it was not noticeable at all

Orly Rage and Cotton Candy tape mani, I just wasn't sure how much I liked this one, I do love the color combo though

Salon Perfect Shocked over Sinful Colors Bikini, I kept forgetting to post this one and it also is not photographing very color accurate it is a lighter pink

Neon Tribal

Hey guys,

I feel like I haven't posted in forever!  I was without internet for like five days because the line outside my house got cut and I had to wait for the company to come out and repair it.  But it is finally fixed and I have a fun tribal mani for you all today.  I haven't done tribal nails in forever, mainly because they really frustrate me, but I thought I would try it out since it is a fun design for the summer time I think.  Also I don't know if I should do a tutorial on these or not, there are so many out there.  But I basically started with a off-white base then I painted stripes of my neon colors, all three colors once on each nail, and then went in with my black acrylic paint and did the tribal design.  I love how these turned out and I found them easier this time around to do and I actually thought my right hand looked better than my left which is rare so I will post some pics of my never-before-seen right hand! 


Colors used: base, Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud (this is probably discontinued), neon stripes, Nina Ultra Pro Pearly Brights, China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise, and Orly Glowstick.

 

My usual left hand first

 

 

 

 

Now for the unseen right hand!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tribal Striping Tape

Hey guys,

I played around with my striping tape this weekend and I think I am finally getting the hang of this striping tape!  I love the design I came up with on my middle finger, I think it looks so cool.  

I used OPI My Vampire Is Buff, Essie First Timer and Orly Shine

 

 

 

Mix N Match

Hey guys,

So I have been itching to do some nail art lately and I kind of went crazy with this one.  I am not sure how much I like all of these designs together, but I am kinda in love with the little flowers and the leopard print one.  I used China Glaze Kalahari Kiss and all the designs are done with acrylic paint.

31 Day Challenge, Day 16 Tribal

I love tribal designs on nails, but boy do I struggle with them.  It seems I always have something pictured in my mind about how it will turn out but I just cannot seem to translate that onto my nails haha.  I almost went with silver instead of black for the design, but changed my mind at the last minute.  I like working with lighter colors for free-hand nail art designs they are more forgiving than say black and I feel like they give a different look. Kinda wishing I had done silver as I continue to write this post but I guess that will be another mani :)

I used China Glaze Bahamian Escape and an Amuse nail art pen in black
