</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So here is a nail art design that I did a week or so ago. It is super easy to do & if you don't have any rhinestones you can always use on of those LA Color Nail Art polishes in silver glitter and make a stripe down the nail instead. I started by painting my nails white, then adding the blue color on half the nail, added my black polka dots, then rhinestones. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>White Color:</b> Sinful Colors <i>"Snow me White"</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Blue Color:</b> Orly <i>"Frisky"</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Black Color: </b>Sinful Colors <i>"Secret Admirer"</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Rhinestones: </b>Ebay.com</div><br />
Also, I ran out of daylight when it came time to my Valentine's Day nails, and I did them right before dinner, so I was unable to post them in a reasonable time, but I still figured I would share. I am sure you have seen this design floating around the internet and I saw it last year, and couldn't wait to try it out next Valentine's Day. I painted my nails white, transferred the newspaper design, then added the heart image on the corner of my nails. Such a simple concept with a big impact.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After I did this nail design it reminded me of a candy shop, hence the name of the post lol. I started off by painting my nails pink then adding white stripes after the polish dried. I have been getting semi-sorta lazy about doing Konadicures only because I have to wait so long for the polish to dry before I could start stamping. Since I have had less time to do my nails lately, I decided I could try some non-stamping nail art. Although, I do have some Spring nail art designs swirling around my head right now that will require me to break out my stamping plates. lol I let someone borrow the pink polish I used for this design, and I can't remember the name of it if my life depended on it so I will have to update this post when I get it back. Here is a list of all the other products used ..</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That is all for now. I have 2 other nail art designs that I have pictures for, so I will be updated again soon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I saw a bracelet like this online and as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to recreate it myself. It was surprisingly simple but it does require some patience. It took a couple of hours for me to make it while taking breaks in between. I LOVE the way it turned out & this won't be the last bracelet I make like this.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you want to make this bracelet too, here are the materials you will need.</div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Materials</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aDs-mFJrGs4/T1KhVJ8rtfI/AAAAAAAABZg/x5ynK4GVqIg/s1600/safety+pins.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aDs-mFJrGs4/T1KhVJ8rtfI/AAAAAAAABZg/x5ynK4GVqIg/s320/safety+pins.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These were a little bigger than an inch and came with 70 safety pins in a pack. I used all 70 and I could have used a couple more, so I would recommend buying 2 packs just to be on the safe side.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TPcfeTaV3yM/T1KhWLouLuI/AAAAAAAABZo/gLGtqEgvAhw/s1600/small+beads.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TPcfeTaV3yM/T1KhWLouLuI/AAAAAAAABZo/gLGtqEgvAhw/s320/small+beads.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Each of these vial of beads cost $2.99 & I have enough beads leftover to make at least 4 more bracelets.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(I am thinking of making a very similar bracelet but with smaller safety pins with my left over beads)</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VPpnzixjQmM/T1KhaX8O2OI/AAAAAAAABZw/K7ZR87fFwj0/s1600/stretchyelastic.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="194" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VPpnzixjQmM/T1KhaX8O2OI/AAAAAAAABZw/K7ZR87fFwj0/s320/stretchyelastic.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I bought this a while ago so I don't remember how much it was, but it's just a thin stretchy elastic. I'm going to guess it is about 1mm thick.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Of course, you will need some scissors as well and then you will have everything you need to get started ..</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> <b><span style="font-size: large;">Step 1</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rulHfstqpMM/T1KhfZI4mlI/AAAAAAAABZ4/mukWYNYGkPM/s1600/step1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="236" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rulHfstqpMM/T1KhfZI4mlI/AAAAAAAABZ4/mukWYNYGkPM/s320/step1.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Pour some of the beads in a dish.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Step 2</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xJblZOchq9E/T1Khj0myPZI/AAAAAAAABaA/_E4zlZU7V08/s1600/step2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xJblZOchq9E/T1Khj0myPZI/AAAAAAAABaA/_E4zlZU7V08/s320/step2.png" width="270" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next you just want to line the pointy end of the safety pins with beads. I alternated colors and patterns to give the bracelet some more visual interest.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Step 3</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8O-BNSxuRag/T1KhxuX9_0I/AAAAAAAABag/iaRQVQ-0IsU/s1600/beadedsafetypins.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8O-BNSxuRag/T1KhxuX9_0I/AAAAAAAABag/iaRQVQ-0IsU/s320/beadedsafetypins.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Bead a bunchhhh of safety pins. =P</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Step 4</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tYTh3fwBC6w/T1Khnkn1RuI/AAAAAAAABaI/_2RfoPg6x4Q/s1600/step3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tYTh3fwBC6w/T1Khnkn1RuI/AAAAAAAABaI/_2RfoPg6x4Q/s320/step3.png" width="303" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Start threading the elastic through the holes on the bottom and top of the safety pins. Alternate threading them from top to bottom. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i>*TIP*</i></b> Cut a piece of elastic a few inches longer than your wrists. It will make it easier to tie it together when you are done.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Step 5 </span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E2F40ErEC6A/T1KhqTu0O4I/AAAAAAAABaQ/rBZrIKJhz5s/s1600/step4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-E2F40ErEC6A/T1KhqTu0O4I/AAAAAAAABaQ/rBZrIKJhz5s/s320/step4.png" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thread another piece of elastic through the other ends of the safety pins.</div><br />

It helps if you measure your wrist with a piece of paper then cut it out and use it as a template to know when your bracelet is long enough.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Step 5</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HlsxJ1xHzQ4/T1Kh1fQ3-6I/AAAAAAAABao/P1YbHu6VDsk/s1600/knots.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="309" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HlsxJ1xHzQ4/T1Kh1fQ3-6I/AAAAAAAABao/P1YbHu6VDsk/s320/knots.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once your bracelet is long enough to fit around your wrist tie the ends together, then tie those ends together to make the bracelet more secure.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is my newest nail art design. I was inspired by a sweater that I have & wanted to create nails to match my winter wardrobe. I had this idea floating around in my head back since Fall and was unpaitently waiting for Winter weather to do this design. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Everything outside looked so pretty and was covered with a thin sheet of ice. As you can see in the second picture, there is ice around each individual pine needle. The ice blue glitter nails went perfectly with the weather.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
So for some updates. Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I am taking block courses at college which are only 7 weeks long. Between work, 5 hour classes, and homework, I am struggling to find time to not only do my nails, but getting any spare time during the day to take pictures.<br />
<br />
There is some good news though! I finally got a camera, but not just any camera. I finally caved in and bought a DSLR camera, a Canon Rebel T3i to be exact. I hope you noticed the quality of the pictures has upgraded from my last ones. At this time I only have the kit lenses, but I have a macro lens on my wish list which will really take my polish and nail art pictures to the next level.<br />
<br />
I promise to start updating more! I am editing pictures now for another post I have coming up which features soft spring colors. I also have a DIY project I am dying to show you! I finished editing the pictures for the tutorial part, but I need to wait until Saturday morning to take pics of the final product. While I am at it, I am going to try to come up with a nail art design to match the bracelet, but we will see how that goes.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div>This has to be my favorite snowflake nail design I ever did! I wanted to do a holiday mani without doing the typical red, green, & gold nails. lol So I was thinking more of a bright holiday design instead and this is what I came up with! The first picture is the most color accurate of them all, but it still gives this polish no justice to how it looks in person. When I get my new camera (hopefully soon) I am going to make sure it has exceptional macro capabilities, enough to capture the smallest spec of glitter & shimmer. I just hope I can find it, and in my price range lol. But I did a few layers of different colors on my nails to make the glitter more multi-dimensional. I used some polishes that had contrasting colors of flecks to give the mani more visual interest. Although you cannot tell in the pics, the purple nails have small blue flecks of shimmer, and the blue nails have, you guessed it, small flecks of purple shimmer. To avoid any confusion here is my product list, and if you own some of these polishes you are well aware of the joy they create when using them in layers ..<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Purple Nails</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Petites Color Fever</b> <i>"Raspberry Ice"</i> (base color) 1 coat</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Sally Hansen HD </b><i>"LCD" </i>(layering color) 1 coat</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Orly</b> <i>"Bubbly Bombshell"</i> (main color) 2 coats</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">And I have some pics that I took with my phone in between times that I didn't have a digi cam on me, so excuse the quality although they aren't too bad for phone pics. lol</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jS4K0VnrC_E/TvD4rzy3q8I/AAAAAAAABXE/nYG9R0KGMQU/s1600/xmasnails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="273" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jS4K0VnrC_E/TvD4rzy3q8I/AAAAAAAABXE/nYG9R0KGMQU/s400/xmasnails.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here is the Xmas mani I just took off before I did my current one. I really love how the ring finger came out! I just might have to do that again for my actual Christmas nails. & as you might be able to tell, that nail was inspired by my most recent post of nail art scans, but I did it a bit differently. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8IMUO4OOivc/TvD4uCYUSFI/AAAAAAAABXM/OnW-0m66fMA/s1600/pinkgoldglitternails.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="221" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8IMUO4OOivc/TvD4uCYUSFI/AAAAAAAABXM/OnW-0m66fMA/s400/pinkgoldglitternails.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">And this is my mani from Thanksgiving. I know, not very Thanksgiving-y but I just reallllyyyy didn't want to wear brown nails that day. lol I was in much more of a pink mood and it matched the scarf I was wearing so it was still a *win* in my opinion. lol</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On another note, I wonder if I am the only person who does this. I always want to wear nail colors at the wrong time. For example, I want to wear pink on thanksgiving. Or in the summer I want to wear black, and during the winter I want to wear bright summery colors. I want to do purple and blue nails when its a week before xmas, etc. lol Does anyone else do that too? It isn't only with nails though, I must admit. I am like that about everything. When it is summer I can't wait till its colder outside and I can get comfy in my layers of clothes, and as soon as it is winter, I can't wait to get into shorts and sandals.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Anyways, enough rambling. I have some extra late Christmas shopping to do & some more pics to edit for my next post. I hope everyone has all their shopping done and can just relax this week! I will post soon loves!!</div>Prettyfulzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06877397399510065089noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265113705749704082.post-18488858790033382482011-12-20T15:34:00.000-05:002011-12-20T15:34:15.344-05:00Week 5: Nail Art Scans!! // Winter & Holiday Inspiration!! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HGczcE1J13k/TvDudb-Se5I/AAAAAAAABVs/epNO0notGfE/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HGczcE1J13k/TvDudb-Se5I/AAAAAAAABVs/epNO0notGfE/s400/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">^^I did a mani inspired by the striped nails *will post soon!^^</div><br />

I was inspired by the nail scans I have been showing you the past few weeks so you know it is jeweled and sparkly. lol </div>Prettyfulzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06877397399510065089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265113705749704082.post-50211436497829552332011-12-06T19:58:00.000-05:002011-12-06T19:58:20.922-05:00Week 3: Nail Art Scans!! // Winter & Holiday Inspiration!! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j2nsQax6T3s/Tt6tYsrP57I/AAAAAAAABTo/GubtVnjXheo/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-j2nsQax6T3s/Tt6tYsrP57I/AAAAAAAABTo/GubtVnjXheo/s400/1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

Here is Week 3 of my Winter/Holiday nail art scans. I think the first one is my favorite. I have 2 more weeks of holiday scans coming, which I might post a bit sooner than a week so you can see them all before Christmas. If you want to make any requests for the next theme of nail scans I post (Ex. a color, flowers, etc.) leave them in the comments now so I can get them together! I also have the yellow nails for the nail art challenge on my SD card, so once I crop the pics I will post that. I think for right now I am going to take a rest from the nail art challenge so I can start doing some holiday nail art!<br />
<br />
So enough with that. I have something else to share with you. Last week my hamster died. =( He lived really long though for the type of hamster he was, so I am glad to know he lived longer than the other hamsters I had. I know... I am like the only person over 18 who has a hamster still, but I think they are so darn cute!!! They are just tiny little puffs you can hold. lol So 3 days ago I went to the pet store to look at some of the hamsters. Then it happened.. I saw the cutest hamster I think I ever seen!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-50DXWgb_Auw/Tt61rnZpTJI/AAAAAAAABUs/9Ofskf8X0PU/s1600/IMG_0851.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-50DXWgb_Auw/Tt61rnZpTJI/AAAAAAAABUs/9Ofskf8X0PU/s400/IMG_0851.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">EEEEEEKK!!!! Isn't he adorable!!?? I can't wait till he is tame enough to the point that I can pick him up and play with him. Right now he is very skittish, so I have been taking it slow and just putting my hand in his cage and petting him. But one day, I will finally gain his trust and will be able to hold him! I named him Kabuki & he will make an appearances in my posts here & there. <3</div>Prettyfulzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06877397399510065089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265113705749704082.post-69143187265980688922011-12-06T18:59:00.000-05:002011-12-06T18:59:46.247-05:0031 Day Nail Art Challenge // Orange Nails!! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QaRE4h2ZyZo/Tsl8K0oyF_I/AAAAAAAABTY/qUXXLVeWgRo/s1600/orange+nails1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QaRE4h2ZyZo/Tsl8K0oyF_I/AAAAAAAABTY/qUXXLVeWgRo/s400/orange+nails1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

I have to admit, I was getting so frustrated with these nails lol. I was originally going to stamp with hot pink, but the the pink barely showed up. Then I found another design I was going to use, but the image was not transferring as crisp as I wanted it to. I was so close to just taking off all the polish and doing completely different nails. Then I saw this the design you see in the pic & thought "this could work." & Thank god it did! lol =) I then added some hot pink dots and rhinestones, and what started as a hopeless manicure ended up being one of those manis you catch yourself staring at throughout the day. I did this design late at night so I took pictures with my phone in the bathroom. I was planning on taking pics with the digital camera the next day, but unfortunately I broke my middle finger down to the finger tip. =( Which lead me to cutting all my nails down really short. That is okay with me though, I prefer shorter nails & I like when I cut them down and get to start with fresh nails lol. Anyways.. here are the products I used ....<br />

Ask & you shall receive!! I got lots of comments on my last nail art scan post, so I figured I can make this a regular thing. Since the holidays are just around the corner, I am going to post winter/christmas designs until the end of December. After that I can post other themes & might even be able to take requests for themes!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think the last nail design, minus the xmas tree would be a cute idea for the half moon nails for the 31 day nail challenge! I might have to recreate it with different colors and possibly a different design. Speaking of the 31 day nail challenge... I have my orange nails on now and was going to take pictures of them today, but I broke my middle finger nail down to the finger tip! Grr! Oh well, at least I can trim them all down and start fresh. As for the design, I will still post my orange nails tonight or tomorrow still, so no worries. =)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Which design is your favorite? Any of them that you would like to re-create? </b>I would love to try those sweater-like designs but would never be able to finish my right hand lol.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It was tempting enough to make me take the plunge. I want to mention that there is most like <b style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">NO</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"> way I will finish this in 31 days. Mostly because of the holidays are coming up I will want to take a break in between the challenges to do some Christmas nail art. Not to mention the holidays are hectic, so it would be extremely challenging to find time to paint my nails every day. Even though it defeats the purpose of the 31 day challenge, I wanted to do it also so I would have some direction to go in for those times I can't decide what to do to my nails. Plus, that means I will be posting </span><b style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">A LOT</b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"> more! Regardless, I want to complete the challenge as soon as possible. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />

I wish I had more pictures to show you. Since the red came out darker than I had anticipated, the black card shapes seem to fade in the background. Either way, I love the dark shimmer this nail design provides & how the shimmering red and black go together.<br />

I wanted to think of something I could post in between my nail art designs to keep my readers entertained. So that is when I decided I would show you where a majority of my nail art inspiration comes from! & If you read some of my previous posts, you already know that I am enamored with Japanese nail art. I started finding Japanese Magazine scans, which are now starting to become sparse. Luckily for you, I have a folder on my computer dedicated to nail inspiration which holds, idk, <b><i>THOUSANDS</i></b> of nail art designs! So I figured since the holidays are right around the corner, now would be the best time to give you some inspiration for your Christmas nails ...<br />

Here is my newest fall nail art design. I wanted to do a leaf design but didn't want to use the same stamp that I used last year. That is when I remembered my Bundle Monster plates had another leaf design. Since I just trimmed my nails not too long ago, it was the perfect opportunity to use the full image design from the first set of BM plates that are usually too small to cover longer nails. I wanted to incorporate fall colors underneath, I knew gold was going to be one of them and a dark raspberry color. I was going to add orange and browns too but once I sponged on the raspberry color, I thought adding the extra colors might be too much, so I just stuck with the two. Here is the list of products I used ..<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Gold Color: </b>Orly <i>"Luxe"</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Raspberry Color:</b> Adoree <i>"502"</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Leaf Image: </b>BM 19</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There is nothing more gorgeous than Deborah Lippmann's glitter polishes. I recently bought the new Deborah Lippmann Dance Music Holiday Trio. I am so excited to review them for you and show you some swatches!! I bought these from Nordstrom.com for $29.00 with FREE S&H! I also used my Ebates account to buy them so I can get some cash back while I was at it. =) Shipping only took about a week, so I was very happy with that. The Dance Music Holiday Trio is only available in mini sizes as far as I am aware of. But with the price reduction, it is worth it and very affordable.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ys7gyNCk2HA/TrxBivw7GhI/AAAAAAAABKM/HXr8NAaxEbE/s1600/deborah+lippmann+just+dance.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" nda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ys7gyNCk2HA/TrxBivw7GhI/AAAAAAAABKM/HXr8NAaxEbE/s400/deborah+lippmann+just+dance.jpg" width="353" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The first shade I would like to show you is "Just Dance," which is a lovely aqua glitter. The glitter in this polish is finer than the glitters you are used to with the larger sizes, but it allows it to dry a bit faster. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zcFjLjWdFf8/TrxBlF1tkAI/AAAAAAAABKU/_G9eD025BrY/s1600/deborah+lippmann+just+dance+swatch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="363" nda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zcFjLjWdFf8/TrxBlF1tkAI/AAAAAAAABKU/_G9eD025BrY/s400/deborah+lippmann+just+dance+swatch.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is 3 coats with no base or top coat. This polish has a medium blue jelly base to it, which helps you achieve opacity without using a base color. Since the glitter is more fine when compared to DL's traditional glitter polishes, it give you almost a foil-like finish which I love.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v9iWcDlGcvY/TrxBo98SddI/AAAAAAAABKc/BViYVM_LpZw/s1600/deborah+lippmann+just+dance+label.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="277" nda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v9iWcDlGcvY/TrxBo98SddI/AAAAAAAABKc/BViYVM_LpZw/s320/deborah+lippmann+just+dance+label.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" nda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6JXMBG8JjTE/TrxBtOHvGfI/AAAAAAAABKk/2cU5fEsMpu0/s400/deborah+lippmann+dancing+in+the+dark.jpg" width="371" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next up is "Dancing in the Dark" which is a fabulous silvery-gray color packed with multi sized holographic and silver glitter. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wPVNpEh6weY/TrxBwZlf5uI/AAAAAAAABKs/NuxU9QdVxRk/s1600/deborah+lippmann+dancing+in+the+dark+swatch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="377" nda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wPVNpEh6weY/TrxBwZlf5uI/AAAAAAAABKs/NuxU9QdVxRk/s400/deborah+lippmann+dancing+in+the+dark+swatch.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For this swatch I used 3 thick coats, with no base or top coat. The jelly base in this polish is a bit less pigmented than I would have liked. However, I love this color, especially the dark shimmer quality it has about it. It would look stunning over a black base coat of polish & would be perfect for a night out or celebrating the New Year.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sG_H-LMOliI/TrxBywCRjfI/AAAAAAAABK0/pUlejg2KZbQ/s1600/deborah+lippmann+dancing+in+the+dark+label.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sG_H-LMOliI/TrxBywCRjfI/AAAAAAAABK0/pUlejg2KZbQ/s320/deborah+lippmann+dancing+in+the+dark+label.jpg" width="317" /></a></div><br />

It is a nice pinky/purple color and the combo of the two works harmoniously together. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qLHet_qu5xc/TrxB4Lz6hXI/AAAAAAAABLE/qEFUW8t-rqU/s1600/deborah+lippmann+flash+dance+swatch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" nda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qLHet_qu5xc/TrxB4Lz6hXI/AAAAAAAABLE/qEFUW8t-rqU/s400/deborah+lippmann+flash+dance+swatch.jpg" width="378" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This color was the most opaque of the three polishes in this trio. This swatch is using 2 coats with no base or top coat. There is a darker purple jelly base in this polish which gives you rich color with two quick coats. This color is so mesmerizing and is sure to catch the eye of any passerby.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6dYXclZWfQ4/TrxB8WouOuI/AAAAAAAABLM/slO33-1kPV8/s1600/deborah+lippmann+flash+dance+label.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" nda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6dYXclZWfQ4/TrxB8WouOuI/AAAAAAAABLM/slO33-1kPV8/s320/deborah+lippmann+flash+dance+label.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
As I mentioned before, these polishes are only available in mini sizes for the moment. They are 0.2 oz each compared to the full sizes at 0.5 oz. The picture below is a size comparison of the full size v.s. the mini size.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-whA0ID2X0As/TrxCBhcMYjI/AAAAAAAABLU/8II41H7Iqbs/s1600/sizecomparrison.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="318" nda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-whA0ID2X0As/TrxCBhcMYjI/AAAAAAAABLU/8II41H7Iqbs/s320/sizecomparrison.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(Pictured above: DL "Across the Universe" & DL "Just Dance")</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The size difference isn't too dramatic. Honestly, I will most likely never use all the polish in my full sized DL bottles. So I think getting the mini sizes are a great option & I actually kinda prefer them! It allows you to own some of the well sought after DL glitters without hurting your bank account. On that note, I would really love to see them come out with more mini sized collections in the future. =)</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--bTMAouNML0/TrxCEKl5hcI/AAAAAAAABLY/ybuRaKORZl8/s1600/sizecomparrison2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" nda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--bTMAouNML0/TrxCEKl5hcI/AAAAAAAABLY/ybuRaKORZl8/s400/sizecomparrison2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The picture above shows you a size comparison of a full sized and mini set. On the left is my "All that Jazz" collection, in case you were wondering. The box sizes are a bit dramatic in comparison, but the boxes for the full sized collections are more wasted space than product. So don't turn away from these small trios if they are displayed next to a full sized set.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Overall, I am really impressed with the *NEW* Music Holiday Trio. I would definitely purchase them again and I would definitely recommend them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What do you think about this collection? Is it a must have or pass? Which color is your favorite? Would you purchase the mini sizes or opt for the full sized bottles? Let me know! I would love to hear your comments! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Introducing Nail Inc.'s magnetic polish!! I can't even begin to explain how excited I was to see this nail polish!! I have been searching for a magnetic nail polish forever, and I am sure you can imagine how many people I knocked over when I saw this on Sephora's display! lol Nails Inc. had 2 colors on display, the silver one you see in my pics and a purple one. I tried them both, but I liked the silver one soo much better. The thing that I love about this polish is it dries super fast and it is soo simple and easy to use!! This is a must have polish for your collection, if you love nail art, but don't want to spend more than 10 minutes on your nails. The only thing I didn't like about this polish is the price. I spent $16 for this one polish!! Granted, I still think it is worth it. But I am hoping that this nail trend catches on with lower end brands so I can buy as many colors I want without abusing my wallet lol. So here are some extra pictures of the bottle and how to use it.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XXhbb--NT74/Trby6kVij6I/AAAAAAAABJk/5JekwjNGbbw/s1600/nailsincmagneticpolish1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="367" ida="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XXhbb--NT74/Trby6kVij6I/AAAAAAAABJk/5JekwjNGbbw/s400/nailsincmagneticpolish1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iOyRbVPFvsQ/Trby8FWWiUI/AAAAAAAABJs/0b2mRBY42k0/s1600/nailsincmagneticpolish2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="387" ida="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iOyRbVPFvsQ/Trby8FWWiUI/AAAAAAAABJs/0b2mRBY42k0/s400/nailsincmagneticpolish2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To use this nail polish, apply a thin coat to all your nails and wait a minute or two for them to dry. Then, one nail at a time, apply a thick coat and while the polish is still wet, wave the magnet on the cap of the nail polish over your nails and watch the magic happen!! You want to put the magnet as close to your nails as you can without touching them to get a really good effect. I am going to experiment with different magnets to see what other kind of effects I can come up with.</div><br />

Have you tried Nail Inc's new magnetic nail polishes? Have you tried to use any different magnets with this polish? If so, leave a link to your post in the comments!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is one of my most favorite nail polish combos of all time! Me and my boyfriend were celebrating our anniversary and my birthday was only 3 days behind so I wanted to do a simple nail design that I could wear for both occasions. At first I was going to go super simple with a few coats of <strong>OPI's "Teenage Dream."</strong> (Which by the way, is one of my favorite glitter polishes to wear without any base color) But then I was deciding on what outfit to wear and I had just bought an open knit sweater with gold sequins. That is when I decided to add some more sparkle to my nails by applying a coat of <strong>Milani's "Gold"</strong> which helped match my nails perfectly to my outfit! This color combo is a great way to wear glitter on your nails while still keeping it simple, yet pretty. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Btw. I just got the <strong>*NEW* iPhone 4S</strong> !!! My previous phone was the first Moto Droid, so at first I hated my new iPhone. I was soo used to android and was surprised about the lack of stuff you can't do on the iPhone that you can do with android phones. Unless you want to jailbreak your phone of course. lol But all of that changed as soon as I took a picture with my new phone! I was in love by the first click of the shutter button. I have never had a phone that took photos this amazing!! The color, focus, everything about the camera is just perfect, especially when shooting in macro. Apple was definitely right when they said that the new camera was going to compete with your standard point and shoot camera! Don't believe me? Look for yourself! <strong>ALL THESE PICS WERE TAKING USING MY NEW IPHONE 4S!!</strong> Which works out perfectly for me now that my digital camera is not charging AGAIN!! I am about to use my iPhone for all my blog posts from now on.</div><br />

</div><div align="center">Here is my first Halloween nail art designs of many to come. I wanted to start doing my Halloween manis sooner but my birthday and me & my boyfriends anniversary is in the middle of October. Needless to say, I had to take a break in between from the orange & black polish during that time. lol But now that all of that is said and done, I can continue my Halloween Nail Art series. For this design I am using the following products...</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><strong>Black Polish:</strong> Sinful Colors <em>"Black on Black"</em></div><div align="center"><strong>White Polish:</strong> Sinful Colors<em> "Snow Me White"</em></div><div align="center"><strong>Orange Color:</strong> Sinful Colors<em> "Cloud 9"</em></div><div align="center"><strong>Black Stamping Polish:</strong> Konad Special Polish <em>"Black Pearl"</em></div><div align="center"><strong>White Stamping Polish:</strong> Konad Special Polish<em> "White"</em></div><div align="center"><strong>Image Plate:</strong> BM225</div><div align="center"><strong>Pearls:</strong> BornPrettyStore.com</div><div align="center"><strong>Rhinestones:</strong> Ebay.com</div><div align="center"><br />

Btw. Sorry for not posting as much recently. If you remember in my last posts, I have been having some computer issues. Especially with Blogger, which leads me to believe I probably have 341 Trojan viruses. lol But I am getting my computer all strapped up with virus protection and getting all of the bugs out. I can't even begin to express how excited I am to have a normal working Internet so I can get back into the blogging game. lol<br />
<br />
I hope you liked the design! I am going to work on another post tonight. I have some pictures of one of my top favorite nail polish combos along with some magnetic nail polish swatches!! </div>Prettyfulzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06877397399510065089noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265113705749704082.post-88766937482074412262011-10-23T19:38:00.000-04:002011-10-23T19:38:07.913-04:00Cute Nail Art Designs!! *Major Update*<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wjb6PnOz9NQ/TqSQamYzGvI/AAAAAAAABH0/a_jY8iLsjAU/s1600/PurpleAbstractNails1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" rda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wjb6PnOz9NQ/TqSQamYzGvI/AAAAAAAABH0/a_jY8iLsjAU/s400/PurpleAbstractNails1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

It is one of my top favorite nail designs. I actually took this picture about 2-3 weeks after wearing this pedicure. So for those of you who ask how long the gems stay on for, it is a very long time if you add a layer or 2 of top coat. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I recently received some new products to review from Thresa at <a href="https://esthersnc.com/nail-supplies/catalog/nail-art">Esther's Nail Center</a>!! One of which was nail art stamping plates which I used to create this Halloween monster inspired nail art design.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Green Color:</strong> Sinful Colors<em> "Innocent"</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Black Color:</strong> Konad Special Polish <em>"Pearl Black"</em></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong>Image Plate:</strong> B32</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://esthersnc.com/nail-supplies/catalog/nail-art">Esther's Nail Center</a> introduced a new set of stamping plates. To be exact <a href="https://esthersnc.com/nail-supplies/19-ct-stamping-nail-art-plates">this set</a> includes 19 image plates for just $15.95. I've seen these image plates floating around on Ebay and some other websites but I never seen them sold in a set which is very convenient. I also have to admit, since I saw them on Ebay I had suspicions that these image plates might be cheap and might not work as well as the Konad or Bundle Monster image plates. However, I was very impressed with how clear the images came out when I stamped with them. As you can see from the picture above, the image transferred beautifully to my nails you can see every detail of the design. Overall, I really liked these plates and I can't wait to try some more of the designs! Below are pictures of the plates I received. I received 6 of the image plates for reviewing purposes, but when you order your set you will get ALL 19. =)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
Now onto the swatches. I received 4 Adoree polishes to swatch and review for you. If you seen my reviews before for Adoree you will already know the key features of this polish. But for those of you who don't, allow me to elaborate. Adoree polishes are Formaldehyde, Toluene and DBP (Phthalate) FREE which makes them great for daily use. They also have over 150 colors to choose from. My favorite part about these polishes is their dry time. I am so impatient when it comes to waiting for my nail polish to dry so I am always happy to have a quick drying polish. Adoree polishes are also very pigmented, all the swatches below are just 2 thin coats. The swatches are also WITHOUT top coat because these polishes already dry with a high shine.<br />
<br />
<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Copper Clay</span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gAWGPbTfulY/Tpco2JBu5uI/AAAAAAAAA0I/TsGi9Z0Ugig/s1600/adoree_copperclay.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" oda="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gAWGPbTfulY/Tpco2JBu5uI/AAAAAAAAA0I/TsGi9Z0Ugig/s400/adoree_copperclay.jpg" width="301" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I must first mention that this picture does not do this polish any justice. It was so hard to capture the beauty of this polish in just one click of the camera. If you look at the bottle in the picture though, you can see a duo chrome effect with flashes of brown, purple, orange, and gold colors. Depending on what light you are in, your polish will take on a different effect, which are one of my favorite types of polishes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RuBwvmXFpNA/Tpco3U_OPII/AAAAAAAAA0Q/SrUw8rnQaLA/s1600/Adoree_pink.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" oda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RuBwvmXFpNA/Tpco3U_OPII/AAAAAAAAA0Q/SrUw8rnQaLA/s320/Adoree_pink.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This polish is a perfect blushing creme color. Very simple, yet very chic. I was excited to see this color in the package because I am a huge fan of pink polishes, but also colors that can be worn as neutrals, so this polish was the best of both worlds.</div><br />
<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Reef Green</span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aC5URMhnb-o/Tpco4rOoOXI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/qfN247ag7ys/s1600/adoree_reefgreen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" oda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aC5URMhnb-o/Tpco4rOoOXI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/qfN247ag7ys/s400/adoree_reefgreen.jpg" width="328" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I think this picture speaks for itself. This polish is packed with a ton of micro green glitter which allows you to have green sparkly nails in 2 coats. This polish also has a darker jelly base v.s. a clear base which I think really helps achieve a more opaque look with less coats and less dry time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;"> Shocking Red</span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wlqjqeMuWjY/Tpco5A2HCfI/AAAAAAAAA0g/gzRq1hPSCEI/s1600/adoree_shockingred.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" oda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wlqjqeMuWjY/Tpco5A2HCfI/AAAAAAAAA0g/gzRq1hPSCEI/s320/adoree_shockingred.jpg" width="276" /></a></div>The name of this polish suites it well since this is a shocking red color. Not shocking to the point where you are going to stop traffic, but shocking enough for everyone in that traffic to notice your classic red mani. I love how this is jelly based with a slight subtle shimmer to make the polish a little extra special. I will definitely get my use out of this polish when I start rolling out my Christmas and Holiday nail art designs.<br />

Moving forward- Thresa let me know about a new website her and Esther created called <a href="http://www.thehoneyday.com/">The Honey Day</a>. It is basically a monthly subscription that is delivered right to your door and includes candies and sweets from ALLLL over the world. Similar to a magazine subscription but with candy. Similar to those beauty boxes you might have heard of, but with candy. For those of you who have a sweet tooth as big as your nail art obsession, this is definitely worth checking out.<br />

This is my 3rd splatter mani but this is the first splatter mani I posted since my camera was broken. This design is so easy, simple, and quick to do. It's a great technique to master because this design can be used in different ways with different colors. It is also great for holidays and incorporating holiday colors. This would be an awesome design to do for Halloween with some orange and black polish!<br />

I love how it is so simple, yet so beautiful. Best of all, this design is really quick and easy to do. While I was at it I made a tutorial for this nail art design as well. Now that I got my both my cameras working again I am thinking of making tutorials regularly. =) In fact, I recorded another tutorial tonight that will be uploaded once it is edited and ready to go!<br />

After this post I desperately need to update my blog. I need to make a new poll question, update my polish counter, and find another nail of the week design. Even though <a href="http://nailside.blogspot.com/">Nailside's</a> design was well worthy of being featured for about a month lol. She also sent me an email with an article on what to do when someone steels your blog posts. What a sweet sweet girl. =) Thanks again! .. Most of all though, I want to get back to your comments and comment your blogs!! But now when I try to leave comments on blogs, it makes me log in, and then it says that my username doesn't have access to that blog??!! Wtf is that? lol I have to figure out a way around it though because blogging isn't as much fun when I can't comment. lol But enough babbling, here is the tutorial ..</div><br />

I was practicing color combos and came up with this by mistake. I think I used the image upside down too. lol But nonetheless, I loved the way it turned out. The gold polish underneath kinda made the nail art design look a bit like foil if it caught the right light.<br />

Here is an entry I got from Sofie over at <a href="http://swaafie.blogspot.com/">Swaafie.</a> She made an adorable nail art design inspired from a background on her phone featuring fruit that is extremely cute and wearable for summer. Check out her blog to see more of her nail art!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you haven't read my previous post. I am doing nail art challenges instead of having nail art contests. This challenges theme is wallpapers, backgrounds, or desktop images. Create a nail design inspired by one of your favorite wallpapers and send an email or link with your designs in the comment below. Designs can be old or new. The only rule is that the design has to be your own work, so no submitting other people's nail designs. All entries will be featured on this post and will be credited. </div>Prettyfulzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06877397399510065089noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265113705749704082.post-37686919533076795972011-09-01T21:43:00.000-04:002011-09-01T21:43:55.970-04:00Super Cute Pink & White Star Nail Art Design for short nails!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VzKKBfXzKwM/TmAv5--RArI/AAAAAAAAAyA/-ggTal6Vhk0/s1600/cutepinkstarnailartdesign1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VzKKBfXzKwM/TmAv5--RArI/AAAAAAAAAyA/-ggTal6Vhk0/s320/cutepinkstarnailartdesign1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RdFJ_uN5UJc/TmAv6NpgXCI/AAAAAAAAAyI/SJysJzcYWYo/s1600/cutepinkstarnailartdesign2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RdFJ_uN5UJc/TmAv6NpgXCI/AAAAAAAAAyI/SJysJzcYWYo/s320/cutepinkstarnailartdesign2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Iy5HTNKB3_Q/TmAv6pQPY8I/AAAAAAAAAyQ/UusbX3Yu8oA/s1600/cutepinkstarnailartdesign3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="204" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Iy5HTNKB3_Q/TmAv6pQPY8I/AAAAAAAAAyQ/UusbX3Yu8oA/s320/cutepinkstarnailartdesign3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aTFaATPgU9I/TmAv6jZBW2I/AAAAAAAAAyY/1GHGuJiF5mA/s1600/cutepinkstarnailartdesign_closeup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aTFaATPgU9I/TmAv6jZBW2I/AAAAAAAAAyY/1GHGuJiF5mA/s320/cutepinkstarnailartdesign_closeup.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Recently my ring finger nail broke, and when I say broke, I mean it broke all the way down to the finger! Grr! But I was starting to grow tired of having longer nails anyway, so I decided to trim them all down and honestly.. I like my nails a lot more this length. I usually keep them longer so I have enough room on my nails to have the freedom to do any nail art design my heart desires. But I really prefer the look of shorter nails, they don't get in the way as much, typing is much easier for example, you can go crazy with your designs without it looking tacky, but it still gives you that polished, chic, put together look to your hands. So I am going to keep them to this length until I need to grow them longer for whatever design is brewing up in my head. Plus, having shorter nails allowed me to play with some of the full sized images on the first set of BM plates which have a reputation for being too small for longer nails. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As for the nail design its self. I LOVE it! It's so very simple (compared to my usual designs anyway) but I find it to look better in one of those less is more kinda ways. It's very understated, but adds a lot of character. I was also admiring this color combo a lot too. I already have an idea of how I want to use this star image again in the future. I am thinking of a dark navy blue or black, with a sheer holographic/duochrome polish on top to give it some depth, then adding the stars in silver. Of course, I am trying to contain myself from wearing darker colors until its a bit colder and the outside world has more of that genuine autumn feeling. I know.. I am putting way too much thought into that lol.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have some pictures on my phone of some nail designs I've done while my camera was broken, which I will be uploading VERY soon!</div>Prettyfulzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06877397399510065089noreply@blogger.com11
