Metallic Splatter nails

Since doing my Jason Halloween nails I have been wanting to try splatter nails in another way, so I did a metallic version and here is how it came out:

 I used:
a straw cut in 4 pieces
a sliver polish
a metallic green, yellow and purple polish

So there are somethings I learned doing this manicure that I would like to share with all of you lovely people.
1) It is very very messy and is a pain in the butt to clean up
2) Use either really thin nail polish or acrylic paint
3) Blow hard
4) Make sure your straw is covered
And finally 5) IT IS VERY VERY VERY MESSY so make sure to cover your area with something you don't mind getting polish on.

All in all I will defiantly be doing this type of manicure again once I get some acrylic paints that is. Here is just one more picture of my nails:

Let me know what you all think about this look. Is it something you would try? If so what colors would you use? I would love to see if any of you do this type of manicure. Well folks that's all for now talk to you all soon.

Spring Nails

Hello everyone it is spring time and it was time for me to reshape and redo my nails so I did and this is how they came out:

I knew 3 things going into this manicure:

1) I wanted to do a french tip

2) I wanted it to be a chevron tip

3) I wanted to use water decals

So the first thing I did was reshape my nails into more of an almond shape and less of an oval shape,then I used two costs of my favorite base coat and waited until the next day. I sometimes like to give my nails one or two days with nothing but base coat on. Now the next day/night I used a pink french base coat let that dry, then using a striping brush and a dark pink polish and made an X ,once that was dry I filled in the blank space with a white polish  and then add one coat of top coat.

Once the whole nail was dry I used some water decals I featured in this blog post and as I said in that post you need to have 100% dry nails before you apply the decals. If you all would like a full review/full photo line up of all the decals I have then please let me know in the comments below. Any way once I applied the decals to all 10 fingers I added one more coat of my qdtc (quick dry top coat) and I was done here is one more picture of the manicure:

 

 

 I hope you all enjoy this manicure as much as I do and if there is something you would like to see then please let me know down below.

That's all for now folks ttyl,

Glow in the dark Moon phase nails

I have been seeing moon phase nails everywhere so when I saw these on pinterest I knew I had to give them a shot.

needed better clean up

omg they glow!

What I used:
Milani: Black swift
Kleancolor: White
Kleancolor: Metallic black
China Glaze: ghoulish glow
NYC: Matte me crazy

I started with a coat of the black then I used a ripped up makeup sponge, the metallic black and dabbed it in randoms places over my nail. Then using the white and a large dotting tool I made the different moon phase shapes. Once the moons were dry I again used the makeup sponge and the metallic black and dotted it over the moons. I then added a coat of my quick dry top coat and your done........ or so I thought

As I sat there looking at my done manicure I was happy but I wanted more for it. So I grabbed my glow in the dark polish and put it over the moons then I used my matte top coat and I was finally super happy with it.

Well folks there you have it my version of the popular Moon phase nails. I hope you all like them let me know what you think in the comments below.

Talk to you all later,
