Cupcake nails!!!

I've been wanting to do cupcake nails for a while, I finally did them and they turned out awesome, and it was pretty easy!

 

So I didn't take pictures as I went but it was really simple.  I started with some tips with Confetti-Moonstruck, and drew a few lines with a yellow Art Deco striper.  The colors I used on the icing are a barbie pink that I mixed a while back, Orly-Purple Pleather, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Green With Envy, White On, and Blue Me Away.  For that part, I just took the polish brush with a little polish on it and just kind of dotted it in, it doesn't have to be perfect, it's icing!  The cherry is Sinful Colors-Gogo Girl, and the sprinkles I used some Nail Star 2-way nail art pens.  I was really excited with how these turned out!!!

Green Ocean and clippers!

So my mom ordered these nifty clippers from Avon, I don't really use clippers on my fingernails, but I usually do on my toes, these are really cool and they have this long handle.  I've been filing my toenails down lately but I really wanted to try these and as always I trimmed a little too much, but whatevs it's not flip flop weather yet :)

Also, I stopped in the Walgreens and bought this polish that I pick up every time I go in and always put it back down, I've been looking for Red Ocean but they never have it around here, so I settled for this one and I LOVE it!  This is my first flakie glitter, and I love the look but I don't really care too much for the way it applies, very chunky.  I also did several topcoats because I love that smooth feeling with polish, but it's still pretty rough :(

 

This is one coat Orly-Purple Pleather with two coats of Sinful Colors-Green Ocean, and a little bow from these cute Crayola nail stickers I recently bought.  I couldn't really get a good picture, but this was the best one.  I did this over black on my toes and like it a lot more, but I will spare you my hobbit feet for now, lol.  I still really like it with this purple though.  So that's 2 coats of glitter and at least 3 topcoats, it's gonna be fun taking this one off, I always regret glitter but I just cant stop!

Water Marbling with Hollie!

I've done water marbling a few times, and I'm never completely happy with it.  I love how delightfully random it is though.

 

I did 1 coat of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear-Wet Cement for my base.  I used Wet Cement, Avon SpeedDry-Strawberry, and Kiss Nail Art Paint for the marbling.  The tips are Pure Ice-French Kiss and a couple of nail stickers I've had for a while, and a topcoat!

 

I was pretty happy with the way most of them came out, but it probably wont stay on very long, we shall see.

80's Mermaid Mani

 

I really liked this one!!!  I did 2 coats of Avon Nailwear Pro-Sunshine, topcoat, then tape, this really pinky pink that I mixed from some old polishes, topcoat, tape, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear-The Real Teal, then a couple more topcoats lol, the tips started receding so I touched up with the teal the next day.

Nail Disaster!

I just did my first craft post, but I also have some nail stuff to post about!  So, me and my friend Hollie usually do our nails together and if I'm gonna use tape or plan on doing something special, I do a base color earlier in the day so it can be good and dry for the next step(s).

 

This is a new polish I got about a week ago, Avon Nailwear Pro in Blue Lagoon (love the name!).  It's so pretty, but pretty sheer, almost a 3-coater, it's also my current toe color.

Added my topcoat and was pretty satisfied with it, but still feeling a little impatient and also didn't follow my "potty before you polish" rule.  So I waited a little longer and felt pretty confident that I was safe to do whatever, WRONG, successfully pulled my pants down and up and even no problems with the zipper then I turn and scrape my nails up against the sink, destroying every one on the right.  Very frustrated, I just said whatevs and redid them, totally different later at Hollie's.  I didn't love my new mani but I was content, but then I get home and this happens!

 

Broken corner, and I'm extremely OCD about such things so I had to cut it :( which means I had to cut them all :(:(:(  Also, details about this mani that I was not so excited about...two coats Sinful Colors-Dream On, two pieces of plumbers tape from corner to corner on both sides, Nicole by OPI-No Limits in the triangle area, it was very uneven so I tried to fix it up with my handy glitter striper, FAIL!

 

I really dislike short nails on myself and have been keeping them pretty long lately, and they were so strong!  That's why I was so upset about the break, but oh well, they will grow back and pretty fast I have magnificent nail growing powers!

 

So my little tiny baby nails inspired me to do Crayola-ish nails.  I used Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Deep Purple(thumb) and Going Green, Sinful Colors in GoGo Girl(red), Pure Ice in French Kiss(blue), and Avon Nailwear Pro in Sunshine(yellow).  Then I added black tips, I really like them, a lot!

 

Also, some Halloween leftover nail stickers, I think they were Kiss brand, I love the bat on the pinky, very Batman!  Also, excuse my non-professional clean up jobs, and the dates on some of the pictures, idk what was going on with my camera.  That's all for now, comments please!!!!
