#iheartnailart

OMG! So this morning I got  a phone call from a number I didn't recognize so I didn't answer it. I didn't think anything of it. A few minutes later I got an email from Sam Blum the promotions manager for Sally Hansen letting me know that I was chosen to be a finalist in the Sally Hansen I Heart Nail Art Contest. I entered the color blocking month and last month for the street wear theme. My street wear theme won!

I entered not thinking that I could win. I am so glad I did. I have never been to NY so this is a huge opportunity for me. This is the nail Art that won me my spot.

 

 

 

I did this mani by using the Saran Wrap Technique with a brown and red polish. Then with a light grey and a thin nail art brush I added lines to create a brick wall. On the first 3 nails I painted the words "I heart nail art" in bubble lettering to look like graffiti along with some small splatters and stars. I outlined the words to make them pop out and highlighted with some white and black lines to give them a more bubbly effect. For the accent finger I used a dark blue and light blue and the SWT to create a jean look. On top of that I added dots of polish to look like paint splatter. On the pinkie I just did some thin rainbow drips because I couldn't think of anything else to do.

 

Colors I used:

 

Sally Hansen  Xtreme Wear "Black Out", "Wet Cement", "White Out", "Pacific Blue", "Blue me Away!", "Mellow Yellow", "Coral Reef", "Green with Envy", "Sun Kissed"

 

Sinful Colors "24/7

 

Finger Paints "It Baroque"

China Glaze "High Roller"



 

 

 

#nailartmay Day 7: Neon

Hi there,

I am a couple days late for this post. Today's theme is neon. I love doing neons as you can see in a lot of my posts. I wanted to do something different today and I'm not sure how I feel as to how these came out. They are a little psychedelic which is the look I was going for. These are definitely NOT a pretty design.

I Used Sally Hansen "White On" and neon acrylic paint for this design.

Color Blocking

I went for it and submitted into the Sally Hansen "I Heart Nail Art Contest for May". I entered on the last day and this is what I came up with...

It is similar to my  post here. With this design I used more colors. I wanted to use a color theme for each nail, It came out OK. I wish my lines were cleaner. i probably shouldn't drink coffee before I paint my nails. Oh well. These were fun to wear. I used a thin nail art brush to paint the squares with the polish and then I outlines them with black acrylic paint. I used some Sally Hansen Xtreme wear polishes and some other polishes.

Day 27: Inspired by Artwork

Hello. Today I was inspired by the Dutch artwork called "De Stijl" translated in English, "The Style"

I did this in an earlier post when I was doing the Wah Nail Art book challenge of mine. This is one of the tutorial that they had featured in their book. I had done it then with the colors that they said to use in the book. This time I wanted tot add a twist by substituting the primary colors with neon colors.

I am so happy with the way that these came out. I know summer is over but, it is still sunny in California so we are aloud to still spot some neons. I have had a few compliments on these today so, that confirms my OK to wear them.

Colors I used:
Sinful Colors "Snow me White"
Nina "Fuchsia Rage" & "Solar Flare"
Santee "Bleach Blue"
So Easy Stripe rite in Black
