Honk Jr.

Hi Peeps,

Today I am posting some nails that I did on myself a couple of weeks ago when my daughter was in her School Musical "Honk Jr". This musical is about the Ugly Duckling. I used the logo that was used for the t-shirts as seen below...

I originally wanted to try to do the whole picture across my nails but, my nails aren't long enough.

I decided to break the picture apart and do the lettering on my four fingers and then the egg with the "JR" on my thumb.

I was really happy with how these came out. I used acrylic paint on top of polish just to try out again. The acrylic paint was easy to use and as long as there is a nice coat of Seche Vite on top then it last as long as any full polish design I've ever done.

Base Color I used

China Glaze "VIII"

Minecraft Nails

Soooo, I have been playing minecraft lately with my cousin and my kids . Because I have an obsession with nails and now, this game I have decided to combine the two.




 
 
This is what I came up with ...
 
 
 





 I will have to attempt this again using cleaner lines. It would probably be easier to use acrylic paints but, I liked the challenge of using nail polish.

Anyways... I hope you like :)

Stars & Rays

Hello Hello!

Today I have a quick post on my mani from yesterday. I was in the mood to use my fave colors. I was kinda tired of seeing fall and Christmas colors. I wanted something to brighten up my day.

 
I love these. They are totally my style...


The stripes or "Rays" are done freehand using a stiper. The stars are some with a stamp using Shany Stamp Plate SH214. I am so happy to have this plate because I love stars and I can never get them just right. This plate gives perfect little stars on the whole nail.



I also used 3 of my favorite colors... pink, teal, and purple.


Colors I used:
Cover Girl "Violeta Immortal/Violet"
Santee "Beach Blue" and "Sheer Purple"
Sinful Colors "Time Off"
So Easy "Black"

Oh Christmas Tree



Hi. I did these nails using the sponge technique where you ad the polish to the sponge in layers and then sponge it on top of a white base. That was the biggest pain in the ass and I will never do it that way again. I will do it my usual way of sponging each color on at a time and blending them together. Way less mess.

Then I added green dots in a pyramid style to create the tree and a brown square for a stump.

Lastly, I used glitter placement to add garland and a star.

I loved how these came out. They took quite a bit of time to do because of the glitter but, it was well worth it to have all that sparkle.

Colors I used:
Sinful Colors "Innocent" & "Amethyst"
Finger Paints ""It Baroque"
Essie "Play Date"
Wet n Wild Fergie "Hollywood Walk of Fame"
Icing "Love it"

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"
