Pastel Matte Galaxy Nails

Hey guys,

So sorry I have not been posting much lately, I am going to really try to get some stuff up really soon!  Today I have some nail art inspired by The Nailasaurus yet again, she just has the cutest nail designs I am a little obsessed with her nails at the moment.  She posted a Pastel Galaxy Tutorial about a week ago and I was I knew I had to recreate this mani.  I like the finished design but I was terrible at painting the little stars so please forgive me for how horrible they look.  I hope you enjoy!


Colors used:  Essie Navigate Her (base), China Glaze Lemon Fizz, OPI Do You Lilac It?, China Glaze For Audrey, Zoya Charla, China Glaze Fast Track, white acrylic paint, and Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love

Fourth of July!

Hey guys,

I have a fun easy Fourth of July mani for everyone today.  I love doing Fourth mani's but I will kinda make myself sick of them after a while haha.  Anyways I wanted to do something simple but glittery and I came up with this combo.  I hope you enjoy!


Colors used: Sinful Colors Endless Blue, OPI Pirouette My Whistle, Zoya Maura and LA Girl Glitter Addict Animate

Blue Valentine

Hey guys,

So sorry for the lack of posts the past couple of weeks.  I had a really bad break on my middle finger and it looked so bad that I just couldn't take pics of my poor little nubbinized nails!  This is a photo from a few weeks ago that I never posted.  I didn't do a Valentines mani one, because I am currently looking for a new job and need to have neutral nails for interviews and two because I don't have a Valentine so I really didn't feel like doing a super lovey, dovey nail look haha.  I hope to start posting more soon, Happy Valentines Day!

I used Zoya Charla

 

 

 

Fallen Angel

I had a hard time trying to come up with a name for this one.  I am not sure how fitting Fallen Angel is but I like it.  This was actually some what inspired by The Black Swan.  Also I promise I am doing a tutorial soon on these feathers, hopefully it will be one of my next couple of posts. 
 
I used Zoya Maura, Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris, LA Girls Glitter Addict Animate, Wet N Wild Hallucinate, a black and a white nail art striper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

31 Day Challenge, Day 9 Rainbow

At first I figured I would just do skittles for this one but I decided to try something different.  I have seen this mani on either Pinterest or Beautylish and loved it so I figured it would be perfect for this challenge.  This is what is nice about doing this challenge to, it has made me try new things!


I used LA Colors Color Craze Live, Zoya Maura, China Glaze Papaya Punch, Finger Paints Lemon Sour, Color Club Twiggie, and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Pacific Blue.

 

Sorry for the reflection of the flash in this one, metallics are so hard to photograph with flash or in direct sunlight

 

 

 

 

 

Ocean Blue Nails

I am in love with this mani!  I think the colors are so pretty together and it is very summery to me.  The pictures of this do not do it justice, it so pretty in real life.

I used Zoya Charla and then did a glitter gradient with Orly Here Comes Trouble.

Nail Art

I figured I would post a few nail art designs that I like to do today. 

First up is a dotticure, this pretty simple to do and all you need is a bobby pin or a toothpick.  I used and dotting tool which you can get at Sally's Beauty Supply.  This is Zoya Maura and Purity.  I love this one!

Next up are a couple of aztec mani's, these are some what hard to do especially when you are trying to do the nail art with your non-dominant hand.  But if you go slow and try to keep your hand steady it is pretty easy and turn out looking really cool.  I used pastels for both of these but you could use any color and they would look really good with just one base color instead of skittles.  I used a stripper polish from LA Colors, the Art Deco ones, you can find them in a bunch of different colors at Dollar Tree.

Lastly is a marbled manicure, this probably the only way I will ever where marbles as a few accent nails.  I am not the best at them and they are a pain in the butt to do from my experience.  But they look really cool when they are done.
