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 :)

Here is a quick post on the Valentine's Day Nails that I am wearing today.

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"

Nightmare Before Christmas

These are one of my faves. I did these last year around Christmas time because my daughter was in a group dance at school and they did it to the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack.

Last year I had done it without the stripes nail. I had seen a few other people have a black & white striped nail in their NBC art and I thought that it would add a little something more to this mani.

The stripes represent the shirt that Jack wears. The patchwork it from Sally's dress. Last year I did the curly hill on a blue background. I like the purple better cus it's more Halloweenish. I'm so mad that I can't find any pictures of the mani that I did last year.

Last year since it was around Christmas time I also added a Santa hat on top of Jacks head. jack was a bit different too. I had just a white circle as his head on top of a black base color. It is so weird to look back and see how much I have improved at nail art from just a year ago.
