Green and white stripes

I did three coats of Rimmel Rags to Riches. It was somewhat opaque so it requires three goes. After I used Kiss nail art white becsue of its really thin brush to make the lines really quickly. The Rimmel is part of the Lasting pro finish line and so far I am impressed. It is the start of gardening season and for the last 8 days it has taken the abuse of digging around in the garden without gloves. It does say up to 10 days and I  think so far that it would last the 10 days but I get bored easily and will change tonight or tomorrow before the 10 day mark.

Hand Drawn Tribal Nail art pattern

Cyclops/ Space nails

Gray Zebra Sparkle French

This is what I did together with my cousin Hannah. We used Ulta concrete Evidence as the base. We used LA Glitter Addict for the tips in silver glitter with the ring finder on each hand having a white Konad Zebra print.

Orange Tribal Nail Art

Rose Nail pattern

I was not sure of the roses as I went along but I think this turned out pretty well. I had a hard time with the Sinful Colors Greek Isles base. Twice it was almost dry then I would touch something and I would have to try and fix it. I used a fat dotting tool to create light pink dots with Ulta Baby Doll then a nail art brush to paint around the edges of the light pink and a short brush stroke in the center to create the flower. I used Ulta Hot spot for the petals. I used the same nail art brush to paint Ulta Envy green leafs onto the roses.

Blue Shield Nails

I painted two coats of Ulta Blue Streak then used the wrong nail art brush for one coat of Sally Hansen Guilty Pleasures and painted the gold strip down the middle and sides then matched up the three at the nail base. I did not really like the look so much as it might have been better with a thinner brush so I used black kiss nail art to create a black line down the center and two extra black lines down the sides on the thumb.

Candy Rainbow fade

I painted two coats of Wet and Wild On a trip purple then sponged on two coats of Shine On Hot pink then two coats of Ulta Sun-Sational. Afterwards I thought it looked a bit to much like candy so I painted one strip each of Kiss Nail Art paint silver and Art Club Psychedelic Dream then a top coat of Essie Pure Pearlfection then Sally Hansen Insta- Dry Anti- Chip Top Coat.

Stripes

I was bored and just messing around. I did a base coat of OPI Skull and Glossbones. I plated around with the Orange Revlon Siren then the Love and Beauty Turquoise. I made the lines with just a normal looking brush that sort of looks like a water color brush with the Sally Hansen Pat on the Back. I don't think I will wear it all week but it was fun to just mess around as I go.

Bundle Monster Nail Art Brushes

I got back from vacation today and waiting for me in my mail box was my 20 piece nail art brush kit.This is a super good value. They were $14 USD and I had a coupon for %10 off. They have nail stamps as well but I have not ordered them as I have a lot of similar designs. They come with plastic covers on all but the dotting and fan brushes.The plastic that the brushes came in smell like shoe polish but still totally worth the money. 

Purple dot clusters

This was really easy and simple. I painted two coats of Ulta purple polish (Celebutante) the took a fat dotting tool and mixed the colors starting at the tip to 2/3's up to the nail bed.

Purple Green split

Mint green nails with glitter

Fresh Chicken eggs

Fresh chicken eggs collected straight from the chicken coop. This is two days worth since I collected early in the moring one day and then late the next. I currently have 8 hens.

Blue Cloud Hello Kitty

I used a base coat of Beauty Secrets Base then two coats of Shine on Mint Green that I got from the BP in Nordstroms. Once dry I made white clouds with Ulta Snow White. I used the thin brush from Kiss nail art paint and wrote Hello Kitty on my pointer and used a fake Konad Hello Kitty nail plate B87 with Black Konad special black nail polish.

Gray with Stripped hearts

I painted my nails Never Glum Plum then created white heats with little red stripes and lined with black. I tried to draw a cartoon frog but my brush was not small enough. I was too lazy to go in and redoo it however so I left it.

Gray and Pink half moon

I used a base coat from Beauty Secrets then painted one coat Ulta Fuchsiamania then two coats of  Nina Ultra Pro Never Glum Plum except the moon area. Because it was hand painted and the line was not really crisp I used black paint from Kiss Nail art to create a black line.I then topped with Seche Vite.

Home made hair clips

Each hair clip took about 4 hours and are all hand made by me. They are each about 4 inches long. Every thing is sewn in by hand and not glued.

Opi Neolin Park after Dark matte with white spiders

I painted two coats of Opi Neolin Park after Dark. It is more of a dark purple color but with the matte top coat it looked black unless in the sun. Sephora's OPI matte top coat is great and lets you play with texture but you have to be careful as it takes forever to dry. With a UV light it still look about 15 minutes each hand to dry the top coat. I ordered the spider nail plate T29 which is pictured below from www.beautiflescratchers.com.The one thing I want to mention about this plate is that it is about an inch larger than the Konad plates so you would not be able to use the plate holder.

Pink to Red fade with glitter

I used Beauty Secrets base coat then overlaid one coat of Hot Pink Shine On nail polish from Nordstrom BP. I then sponged on two coats of Purple Glamour House 2/3rd up the nail. Next I sponged the tip with OPI O'hare & Nails look great. I then put one top coat of Love and Beauty Gold glitter from forever 21.
