Snowflake Nails

 
Hello everybody! So, it’s 2015 which means it’s a great time for a fresh start and to make goals and all that stuff. Even though Christmas (or other holiday you may celebrate) is over, winter is still in full swing. This means that a snowflake nail design is still acceptable for the New Year. Here’s what you’ll need.

The polishes I used for this tutorial were Michael Kors “Curtain Call”, Sally Hansen’s Xtreme Wear shade in “White On” (#300), and Revlon’s “Stunning” (#340). You will also need a very skinny nail art brush to help with precision. 

I started with my blue base and let that dry. Afterwards, I added glitter to the top part of my nail to sort of create a gradient effect. Next, I took the white and painted my snowflakes. I alternated between nails with one large snowflake and nails with two snowflakes cut off slightly. To paint the snowflakes I drew a cross and added short lines coming diagonally out of the ends (making a V shape), then I drew and small X over the cross. It’s not as hard as one may think, but it takes a steady hand. Add a top coat and you have some cool (or chilly hehe) winter nails.

I hope you all have a great start to 2015! I’m going to be doing sold colors and reviews for the next month, so hopefully you don’t stop reading my blog lol. BYYEEE

Firework Nails

Hello everyone! If you live in America then tomorrow is an exciting day for you, full of celebration. With that celebration comes amazing fireworks. So, without further a do here are my Independence Day firework nails. The polishes I used were Sally Hansen's "Co-balt Blue" (#320), "Red My Lips" (#470), "Silver Sweep" (#230), and "Grape Shifter" (#423), NYC's "French White Tip" (#134), and Blackheart Beauty's "Deep Sky Blue". I also used a nail dotter to create the fireworks. I started by painting the base colors on my nails, alternating the colors on each finger, and letting that dry. I chose to do my fireworks on the navy blue nails, but you can do them on the red or even on all the nails if you choose. For the fireworks I started with a dot for the center of the firework and added a red star there. Remember, the center of the firework does not have to be in the center of the nail (I only did that on one nai...

Green + Gold Accent Nail

Hello everyone! I wanted to do one more simple St. Patrick’s day nail design before I did the complex stuff. This is super easy and will last a while. Here’s what you’ll need. The polishes I used were Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri shade “In Record Lime” (#50), Essie’s “Good As Gold” (#941), and my new Base + Top Coat by Revlon (#965). I also used gold glitter from SHANY's Nail Art Decoration Kit. First, I used one layer of the Revlon’s Base + Top coat to protect my nail. I am hoping that this will prevent any more staining that way my nails can grow out and be stain free before prom. Anyway, I painted all my nails, except the ring finger, with my green polish and sealed that off with a top coat. For my ring finger nail I painted two coats of my gold polish and let that dry (this is here just in case the glitter doesn’t reach all areas of the nail). Next, I painted on a layer of clear coat and quickly dipped my whole nail in the gold glitter . Brush off the excess glitter an...

Miracle Gel "Game of Chromes" Review

Hello everyone! I recently purchased another nail polish from Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel collection called “Game of Chromes” (#510) and I thought I’d write a review for it today. Frist of all, the name is genius. Secondly, lol, the color is gorgeous. It is really shiny and when you move your fingers under the light it kind of looks like it switches between silver and gold, like a hologram or something. It is just a really nice color if you are looking for a solid nail design that isn't super boring. I also really liked the formula of the polish. It went on very smoothly (just like the others from the line did) and it was opaque with one coat. When I used the top coat (which you have to buy separately unless you get a kit and it’s expensive but whatever), it lasted a long time with no chips. It still isn’t chipped and I could keep it on, but I redo my nails every week lol. That is all for today, but you can check out my most recent YouTube video here, or look through...
