Turquoise Stone Nails

Hi, everyone!  Sorry for the big gap in posts here, but this has been my first nail design since last month.  I recently saw missjenfabulous nail tutorial on turquoise stone nails (click here to watch her tutorial), and had to try it myself.  It took me forever to do this (maybe more than an hour), but I thought the result was really nice.  However, just be warned it got really messy (add on about another 15 or 20 minutes for clean up).  It really wasn't that difficult, though.  Anyway, here it is...































I got a little fancy with the pictures :) Let me know what you think of it and if you'll try it sometime!

Monthly Nails + Pick of the Month - May

Hi, everyone!  It's time again for Monthly Nails!  May was an awesome month for nail polish - lots of great finds!  But I feel like this is going to be kind of boring...
















Other than my two designs I did this month, the plain nails were both pink - almost the exact same shade, too!  This one is Zoya "Lara"... really great nail polish, as well as the next one.  It was opaque, so I only needed one coat for this.  It didn't last a very long time on my nails, but it wasn't awful, either.















This one is OPI "Kiss Me on My Tulips"... yes both of these look almost exactly the same, a hot pink, and applied and lasted the same, too.  It was also opaque (only one coat) and the lasting time was about the same as the Zoya polish.  This one might be a little more deeper, maybe more magenta, but on the nails it would be hard to tell.  They're both really pretty, and almost exactly alike, so there's no pick this month!

Feathered Nail Art

Hi, everyone!  Going blog crazy - aren't I?  I painted my nails a few days ago with this feathered nail polish by Nails Inc. and it turned out amazing!
















The picture makes it look a lot less vibrant than it is.  It's a beautiful minty nail polish (Essie's "Turquoise and Caicos:) with the Nails Inc. feathered nail polish on top (in the shade "Brighton").  It reminds me a little of a robin's egg.  One of my new favorite designs for sure :) This is definitely an easy one too.  Hope you enjoyed and will try this yourself.

Glitter Design

Hi, everyone!  So, last weekend I was shopping and I saw a picture in Sephora of these nails with glitter near the cuticles... and I thought, why not? :)
















I kind of liked it.  I think it might be better if the glitter kind of "rained" down the nail (without such a sharp edge like I did).  Not my favorite, but it gave me a new idea, so maybe I'll try something similar again.

Monthly Nails + Pick of the Month - April

Hi, everyone!  So, bit of a problem for April... forgot to write down the name of these blue nails...
















Well, what do I do now?  I tried comparing the picture to some blue nail polishes I have, but that doesn't give much accuracy.  I think it was Revlon's "Waterfall" (which is one of my favorite nail polishes).  I know, I know, stupid of me, right?  April was a kind of busy month for me, with going on vacation, so my life kind of went out of order for a bit.  Hope you all will forgive this stupidity of mine... I'll make sure everything will run normal now.
















I remember this one!  Yay!  Revlon's "Decadent"... a new one for me.  It's from their Top Speed line.  I love Revlon nail polishes, but I never tried their Top Speed line.  It worked well (don't remember exactly how long it stayed on my nails - I'll make sure I note that better next time).  The color was amazing!  A deep purple with blue tones.

Pick of the month - hard for me... but I'd probably have to say "Decadent" (partly because I don't remember what the other polish was).  "Decadent" was really pretty and a really nice nail polish.
Hope you enjoyed this out-of-order-post... a new design coming soon :)

Polka Dot Nails + new YouTube channel!

Hi, everyone!  I'm back and I have a really simple and cute design to share...















It's really nice for spring, but you can change the colors around so it can be worn on any occasion!  All I did was use a lavender nail polish to paint all my nails, then I used a dotting tool (if you don't have one you can use a toothpick) to make the green dots.  Hope you all enjoy this simple little design!
And - big announcement!  I have a YouTube channel now!  It's called fabnailsbyliz <- click this to go to my first video.  Please take the time to visit it and subscribe :) Or, if your coming from my channel, please take the time to follow my blog... big thanks!  Bye!
