Snow Flakes

Well, I liked the snowflakes that I did on my daughter so much that I decided to use the stamp on myself. I had seen Pimp my Nails use the blue magnetic polish as a background on a recent post and I just had to try it out.

 

 

I love how these came out and I loved it even more because it was soooo simple. I added a little glitter accent in the middle of each visible flake. I used the same stamp in my last post BM 323. This has definately been my goto stamp for Christmas this year.

 

 

 Colors I used
Layla Magneffect "04 Turquoise Wave"
Sinful Colors "Snow me White"
Claire's "Disco"

Reindeer & Snow Flakes

I Know! I have been slacking. I had done some other Christmas nails this month but no posting. What a bad bad blogger. They were nothing special though just some copy cat stuff.

Anyways,
I did these on my daughter last week. She has been wanting me to add bling to her nails. She has had this design for a week now and it still looks great. And YES she still has the gem on it. I am so proud of her. She doesn't bite her nails and I always have to file them down because she's not aloud to have long nails in gymnastics.

 

I used Bundle Monster Plate 323 and some holo glitter placement for the snowflakes.

 

Colors I used:

 

Orly "Blue Collar"

Finger Paints "It Baroque"

Sinful Colors "Snow me White"

Sinful Colors "Black on Black" China Glaze "Sunset Sail"

Claire's "Disco"

Day 16: Tribal

OMG. The Challenge is like 1/2 way now. Today I was happy that I was able to incorporate blue into the theme because as I said in my last post 5 minutes ago , my daughter had a gymnastics meet today and the team colors are blue and light blue.

I did a gradient of 3 shades of blue and did a tribal on top of that with black and white using striped and dots.

Colors I used:

OPI "No room for the Blues"
China Glaze "Ride the Waves"
Pure Ice "French Kiss"

Day 5: Blue nails

 On to Day 5 of Chalkboard Nails Challenge. Today I wanted to try out these awesome cloud nails inspired by nailsbymh on Tumblr. When I first saw these I was in awe. They just looked so cool compared to all the cartoon clouds out there.

Since she didn't have a how to on this design I took on the task of creating a step by step on how I was able to achieve this affect...

Step 1

I used a medium blue in the top of my nail down to about 1/2 of my nail.

 

Step 2

With a lighter blue I painted the other 1/2 of my nail

Sep 3

With the darker color I sponged a cross the middle of the 2 colors to blend.

Step 4

Then I did the same with the lighter color to achieve a better blend

Step 5

Again with a piece of sponge I added white patches to create the clouds.

Step 6

With a dotting tool I used black & gray polish and semi blended it together to create the shadows in the clouds. I left a little of the polish darker to go under the gray.

 

 

And there you have It!
