Pink Black White Marble

Good news for those of you who have tried water marbling and it did not turn out as nice as you wanted: Every time I have marbled, I have gotten better at it each time. So no worries, you'll get it! It just takes practice and patience. One piece of advice is to not swirl it with the toothpick as much. That's what I learned this time.

ughhh, that second photo is the hand I did first. Just as I said, I get better each time! haha

Here's what I used:

Valentines Hearts and More

As you might have seen, my last post was my effort to acknowledge Valentine's Day. Here are my nails from a few years ago (when I was in high school and had lots of free time: something I no longer have. sigh.). But anyways, the design follows the classic Valentines-y theme, unlike this year's design.

I don't know what I painted on that one pointer finger that's out of the frame. I guess it was my way of censoring a crappy looking nail. ha ha ha

Valentines Nails..? Maybe...?

I LOVE SPARKLES! I am obsessed with this sparkly pink color! It's sooooo cute! I didn't want to do an over the top Valentines day nail design this year but I thought this design was a little Valentines-ey because it's pink and girly (Can I get away with that? Is that right?). Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of Valentine's day, but I like that I have a reason to use girly pink sparkles! You could probably get away with painting it even when it's not the holiday but it's not something I personally would do (not exactly like this).

The first photo has a nice view of the gradient I did but the second photo has a better angle to show the color of the sparkles. It's so hard to get both!

I used Essie's "We Can Do It Pink!" for the base color and "A Cut Above" for the sparkles.

Hope you have a great Valentine's Day!

Music Notes

At the time I was feeling a matte color for my next nail design. I thought the music notes would look nice. The matte looks better than the gloss finish for this case.

If I were to do this design again, I would have made most of my nails the nude color. I like how that turned out better than the black with white notes. I may be biased because I'm not a black nails kinda girl.

Batman or Superman? Both!

Here is another 'flashback' design. Last year I painted my roommate's nails. She didn't usually like to paint her nails, until she met me!

She loves super heroes and she couldn't decide between Batman or Superman. So we decided on both!

This is a fairly easy nail design because there is only detail on two nails. One hand was blue, and the other was black.

Hope you have a SUPER day :)

Candy Cane

It's that time of year again! Being a college student, I don't have any decorations at my house right now so it doesn't feel like Christmas is coming anytime soon :( I figure when I go home my parents will have the house decorated, but I feel like the season is cut short for me since I won't get home until mid December. Despite that, I painted candy cane patterns on my nails. It's simple, yet festive enough to get me in the spirit!

I used Caliente Coral by Maybellene Express Finish and a white color by Kiss Nail Art.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Jade Flowers

Once again, I was low on time and was dying to paint so here are more Konad stamped nails:

It's hard to tell, but I double stamped the nail.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
