Fish Nails

Hi, everyone!  I just painted some fish nails and have the pictures to share with you...













To do these, I painted my nails a light blue, (I highly recommend "Waterfall" by Revlon - it's such a pretty water-like color) and then painted little fishes with a nail polish with a "precision brush" on all of my nails except my ring fingers (I did the fishes purple because that's my favorite color, but any color would be fine).  For my ring fingers, I painted a big fish and used dotting tools to make the eye.  That's about it.  I thought my toes turned out really cute, so I got a pic of those...












I painted them blue and used a dotting tool to make some white dots on them... I'm really liking my dotting tools! :) Hoped you liked this!

4th of July flag nails

Happy 4th of July everyone!  To celebrate this holiday and show a little patriotism, I painted these flag nails...
























When the nails are put together, they make the American flag!  These  are really cute and patriotic nails, but they were a little more hard and time consuming than some of my other nail designs because of stripes I had to draw on most of my nails.  To paint these, I used a base coat and painted all of my nails white, even the ones that I was going to paint blue, because I find that when I use a darker color straight on my nails, it leaves a little tint of that dark nail polish on when I take it off.  After that, I painted my index finger on my left hand, and pinky finger on my right hand blue, because when I put my fingers together on each hand, the stars will be on the correct part of the flag.  Then, I painted red stripes using a precision brush on the rest of my fingers, and stuck on some star stickers on my blue fingers.  Finally, I sealed it off with a top coat.  Hope you liked my design!  Have a fun 4th of July!

Crackle Fun

Hi, everyone!  I got to try out my new crackle nail polish today! :) Yay!  I thought this would be a good time to try it because it would match my outfit (pics below).  It turned out to be so easy and super cute!













I'm not sure where the heart bracelet came from (I've had it for a while), I made the colorful bracelet.

Matching my skirt! :)













I had some raspberries on hand :)














My outfit!  One of my favorite outfits, too.  I'm not sure if you can see it, but my skirt has a little tie on it.  Here, let me pull out another pic...














Sorry, but I'm not sure where this outfit is from either. : / My nail polish is Sinful colors black crackle and "Easy Going".  Hope you all liked my nails and a little outfit of the day!

Cloud Nails

I'm back with another design - cloud nails!  These are so easy and fun, and they look great!













I used a few of my nail polishes that I got in my recent haul.  I used a base coat and painted my nails with Revlon Nail Enamel in "Waterfall".  It's such a pretty color!  In the bottle I thought it would turn out a nice sky blue, but when I painted my nails, it reminded me so much of water!  After that, I used my dotting tool dipped into white polish and dotted on three circles together to make the clouds.  Finally, I sealed it off with a top coat.  So easy and so cute!

Nail Polish Haul

Hey, guys!  So I'm back with yet another haul... you see, Walgreens had a lot of amazing beauty items on clearance, and you know me - unstoppable.  When I find great deals I want them.  So, that's why I'm back with yet another haul. :)
















I can not tell you how long I've been wanting a crackle nail polish.  And here it finally is!  I was so excited to find this in Walgreens for only one dollar.
















I fell in love with this color!  It's such a pretty, light, pastel color.  It's the Sally Hansen Salon Manicure nail polish.  The shade is "Yellow Kitty".
















I ran out of white.  So here it is.  Wet n' Wild Wild Shine.
















Some more Wet n' Wild that I found for fifty cents each.  Great deal, so I thought I'd get two :) Cute square bottles, too.  It's Color Icon in "Give Me a Price Quote" (left) and "Carats" (right).














































This is a Revlon Mini Nail Kit.  It has some really pretty colors in it.  A very pretty blue (called "Waterfall") which I plan on using in my next design, and a sparkly color with a hint of blue sparkle in it ("Sparkle"), and a really pretty light green ("Garden").  I think the light green is very similar to my Ice nail polish in "Wild Thing".  I put a photo on the bottom to compare the size of the nail polish in the kit to the regular sized Revlon nail polish bottle.  The bigger Revlon nail polish bottle in the picture is the shade called Minted (this bottle did not come in the set).
Well, that ends my haul.  Hope you liked it!

Wild Nails

My friend was just over yesterday and we had some fun creating some wild designs...














This is a design anyone could do!  Just paint your nails whatever design you want!  I made this a little special by putting water marbles on my left hand and designs on my other.  This fun nail project's given me some inspiration for what my next design might be... I'm liking the yin yang nail a lot.  Post in the comments below what your favorite nail is!

Ducky Nails


I'm back with a new design on my nails!...

It's ducky nails with bubbles!  And it's cutepolish-inspired (again) :).  If you haven't been keeping up with my blog, than you might have not heard of cutepolish.  I love her designs!  She does nail art and posts her tutorials on youtube.  This is such a cute and easy design!  At first when I saw it, I thought it would be a hard design to paint, but it turned out to be great and one of my favorite designs yet!  I used my dotting tools to make these neat marbleized bubbles.  First I painted my nails with my Nail RX base coat, then I painted my nails with Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle in "Lush Lavender".  I used my dotting tool number 3 and dipped the large end in  yellow nail polish (I used Ice in "Excuse Me") and made the duck.  Then I dipped the small end of the dotting tool in some orange polish (I used Sinful Colors in "Courtney Orange") and made the beak.  I used the same small end of the dotting tool and dipped it in some black polish and made the eye and then the center of the eye with black polish (I used Wet n' Wild).  For the water and bubbles I dipped the large end of the nail dotting tool in some blue, (Sinful Colors in "Love Nails") aqua, (Monster High in "Lagoona Blue" or "Aqua") and white (Wet n' Wild) and tapped on some dots.  I finished off with Sally Hansen No Chip Acrylic Top Coat.  You can visit cutepolish on youtube for a good tutorial on this (I changed her duck design a little bit)... type in "cutepolish duck". :)
