Makeup Nail Art

Makeup on my nails, what?!?! Well not technically, but the idea is still there. I've seen this type of design a lot on my Pinterest and needed to try it out for myself. I used two different types of light pink polish for my base color and then added ten different types of makeup related motifs; eyeliner, mascara, a contour kit, nail polish, highlighter, eyelashes, a brush, blush, a eyeshadow palette, and a lipstick. I added some pink sparkle nail polish to the background (very subtle) and then some pink stars to add to the cute style of the overall manicure. 

Candy Hearts, Valentine's Day Nails

Usually I end up doing the same type of manicure each year for Valentine's Day so this year I wanted to do something different. Each hand has five different colored candy hearts and the only difference is that the left hand is for people in a relationship and the right hand is for all of the single people. So for the left hand I have, "Heart Me," "Kiss me," "XOXO," "2 Cute," and "Be Mine?' On my right hand I have "NO," "Stop," "EW," "Bite Me," and "Cats Only." I'm really happy with the final product, how each hand looks the same from far away but once you start to read all of the messages you can clearly see a difference in tone between the two hands. 

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day, regardless if you are in a relationship. 

Psychedelic 60's Manicure

I wanted to do a water marble manicure this week but I didn't have enough colors that were thin enough to be water marbled. Instead I took a bright neon pink polish and clear nail polish and water marbled them together. Starting out with a clean white base I water marbled pink and clear into a little cup and then dipped my white nails into the solution. I finished the manicure by drawing on darker pink triangles on each of my nails and dotting white dots inside the allotted area. I'm surprised with the result and really like them! 

My drawing turned out to be a really good background for this manicure since it fit into the trip 60's vibe that I was going for. 

Pinks and Polka Dots

I don't usually paint my nails pink, but when I do I can't just choose one shade of pink. Instead, i choose ten different variations of pink. Ontop of the base colors I layered in series of three, three shades of purple dots. I sealed it all with a topcoat for another simple manicure. 

Valentine's Day Nail Art

A fun and bright pink manicure for Valentine's Day. I had dark pink on my pinky and then got lighter toward the thumb. From my pointer to my ring finger i have a connecting heart line with a heart adorned with some rhinestones. On my two thumbs i had two red broken hearts with some more rhinestones. Sadly i had to cut down my nails because i had another one break so short nails for now.
