Blue Blizzard

This french tip manicure turned out very well, even on my right hand. I love this design, and already I want to do it again in the future!

I used a light blue by Essence with a dark nail striper, and a glitter polish from Ardene called (you guessed it) Blue Blizzard.

I don't have pics of every step, but paint a french first, line it with the striper and load on your glitter.

This side pic is to show you guys how I cut my nails. For a while, I had them like this, and I LOVED it, until one broke, and I cut them all to match :( Anyways, if you can't tell from the pic I cut the sides of the white part of my nail, so they'd be squarer, if that makes any sense...you can see on the side view where my nail bed is my nail slopes down, and then it goes up? I cut it that way, it used to keep sloping down, covering more of my fingertips.

Pink Crackle French Tip

This manicure I had a lot of fun with; I'm loving the look of a colored french tip with crackle over top of just the tip. In this case, the base color is all-over and only the crackle makes the sideways french tip.

Supplies I used:

-Essie, Sand Tropez
-Cherimoya 2012 Crackle, ?
-Art Deco, black
-Art Deco, pink glitter

I separated the crackle from the rest of the base color with a black line and added a pink glitter to the line.

The pictures are kinda blurry, I know...

My fingers look really wonky in this picture lol

Pink Sun & Rhinestones

Hey guys, this is a design I'm not sure I love, I was mostly experimenting with stuff, tell me what you think :)

Here's the supplies I used:

-Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear, Mellow Yellow
-Claire's mood polish, Fabulous/Funky (mine is a crap bottle that doesn't change color, so I just use it as a plain neon pink instead of a mood polish)
-Kiss Nail Art Paint, green
-Kleancolor Nail to Toe, gold glitter

For the first step, paint all your nails pink.

I didn't take individual photos of every step for this manicure, but here are some photos of the other supplies. The stamping plate I used, the stamp and scraper, dotting tool and rhinestone wheel.

Basically what I did was stamp the sun, add a yellow rhinestone in the middle and two green lines going horizontally 'through' the sun, and some glitter on the sun's rays. The glitter ended up overtaking the stamp in the final photos lol

Here's a close up view of the stamp I chose (and my camera lens)

 












I hope some of you liked this, I didn't leave it on my nails for too long. Any comments on how you'd change it up?
