Double Wammy!

Good morning!


So incredibly sorry for the lack of update. I could make up excuses, but to tell you the truth, I was really tired from getting back to work and getting back into the routine of things. 


I bought a charger, so now I'll be able to retrieve my pictures! I have a few pictures taken with my iPod, and a few others with my cell, which have a very sad quality picture. I'm gonna upload all of them at the same time either tomorrow or Tuesday.


On to the manicures. Yes, with a "s" at the end: there will be 2 today! I wanna get back into the routines of posting at least once a week.


First: 




What I used:
- Sally Hansen 4-in-1 treatment (absent from photo)
- Color Institute Top Coat
- Sally Hansen New Lengths Ceramics - #02 White Tips
- Color Institute (no name, so  I called it Graphite)


It was the first time I really tried to hand pant something a little harder. I like it, but it has some place for improvement, that's for sure.


Second:




What I used:
(Sorry, no picture of what I used. I most likely forgot about it.)
- Sally Hansen 4-in-1 treatment
- Joe Gunmetal
- Joe matte top coat
- L.A. Colors Art Deco NA903 Silver Glitter

So there you go! I hope I'll get back into your graces! :P But seriously, though, I'm going to try to get a post out each week. Maybe if I use the scheduling function? I don't know. We'll see!

Ciao!

Birthday Nails

Hi!


I turned 25 on the 14th, and in order to cheer myself up ('cause you have no idea how old I feel now that I'm a quarter of a century!), I've decided to make festive nails for the occasion. When  I think birthday, I think fun, I think colorful, I think confetti:




Here's what I used:
- Borghese B310 Bellissima Rose
- Nail Star Two-Way Nail Art Pen & Brush in orange, yellow, lilac, blue, and teal
- Rimmel Base Coat Top Coat Pro
- Dotting tool


It made me smile for a few days, until I removed it for my Harry Potter manicure.


Now, though, my nails are constantly splitting, and it's getting really annoying. I bought another Mavala product, which is suppose to work on that, but I have yet to see some results. 


Thanks for coming by!

Multicolor Lines

Hi!


Here's an old manicure that I've done like a month and a half ago. Time flies so fast! I like French manicures, but I like them better when there's a design on the lower part of the nail. Here's what I came up with:





And here's what I used:




In the picture we have:
- Rimmel Base Coat Top Coat Pro
- 4 Nail Star Two-Way Nail Art Pen & Brush (green, glitter green, purple, glitter purple, blue, glitter blue)
- Maybeline Salon Expert #700 Black Is Black


I have a few others that I'd like to show, so I'm up to date with all of my stuff. I'm in the middle of moving to another home, and my posts may be delayed for the next week or so, with the packing and the unpacking and what not. 


See ya soon! :D

Very first nail arts

Hi guys!


So today, I will talk about my very first attempts at nail art. As I previously stated, I've been doing this for only about a month.


My very first try was on my toes. I was tired of my toes being all pink, so I needed a change. I decided to paint my toes all black. Now, that in itself wasn't bad, but made my feet look dirty. So I needed to do something else. I had my trusty French tip pen with me at the time, so I just did some diagonal stripes on top of the black. Here's what it looked like:


 

For this, I used:
- Sally Hansen Complete Care 4-in-1 treatment (as a base coat)
- Maybeline Salon Expert #700 Black Is Black
- Nailene Pearly White French Tip pen
- no top coat


Sorry for the appearance of my toes!

 



For my first attempt on my finger nails, it went a little better. I already had the pretty shiny green on my nails, but was getting tired of it by itself. So I painted half in diagonal with black, and did some little dots using a toothpick. Here's what it looked like:

In a bright room, no flash.


What I used:
- Sally Hansen Complete Care 4-in-1 treatment (as a base and top coat)
- Rimmel 60 Seconds #819 Green With Envy
- Maybeline Salon Expert #700 Black Is Black





Hope you guys enjoyed it! See you soon! :D
