Nail Art Ideas & Decals

(Images from Lockerz.com)

I love nail art! Not that I can accomplish it but I think it looks super cool. These are some looks that I would definitely love on my nails! I'm always keeping my eyes out for nail decals, below are some that I've found.

1. An Etsy store called Made By Munchie's Mama they have neat decals for a really good price.

2. Another Etsy store called Inspired Nails.

3. Sally Hansen's nail strips which have a wide variety.

Pretty Petal Pedi

I got my first pedi! Is that really weird that I've never gotten one until now? Well any way, I love it! I got the purplish blue colour by China Glaze and my friend got a glitter polish on top of a pink polish both by O.P.I. I think flower detailing on our big toes looks amazing. Conclusion: I see many pedis in my future.

Flowers & A Pink Manicure

These are pictures of my friends manicure from 4 months ago that I finally decided to post. I love the flower, it reminds me of Hawaii and those tropical patterned tops (if that makes sense). I don't know the name of the polish but it's O.P.I and I think it's the perfect manicure for Summer. 

Pastel Marble Nail Tutorial

This is my tutorial on how achieve marble nails. 

This time around it didn't work but I did the same thing when I tried it before and got great results.

I Finally Did Nail Art!

(Try to ignore the weird discolouration on my thumb.)

I finally did it, I accomplished nail art! I'm aware it looks really simple but it was quite complicated. So I based it off this nail tutorial on YouTube (click here if you want to watch). I first applied Sally Hansen's Lacey Lilac then with a Q-Tip I applied Nicole by O.P.I's Positive Energy. To finish it off I applied a top coat by Sula. I also came to a conclusion that before you start doing nail art make sure you can open the nail polish bottle you want to use next because I couldn't get some open so I had to change which colour I was going to use. Then again, maybe that's just my weak self.

No Snowflake Is Like The Other

I watched this snowflake nail tutorial on YouTube and I thought it looked so cool. It was on the beauty guru's channel Macbarbie07. I decided to try it out. 

It doesn't look amazing but I think it still looks pretty cool because realistically no snowflake is the same.

To do this I used the polishs "Teal The Cows Come Home" by O.P.I (for the base colour), "Rich In Spirit" (for a glittery base colour), and "Positive Energy" (for the snowflakes) both by Nicole by O.P.I.

In the video she used a thin nail brush to create the snowflakes but I just used a thin paint brush and it worked alright but I don't think the paint brush will be usable again.

If you want to try and create this nail look you can watch the video here.

2 For The Polish

My grandmother has a story that she told me once and it had something to do with how you should always take 2 cookies at a time so you have 1 for each hand and I thought that the moral of her story would apply nicely to nail polish. I`d worn dark purple coloured nail polish for 3 days and it had started to chip so instead of taking it off I applied silver polish on the top and bottom. ( My 2nd take at nail art. ) I used Nicole by O.P.I, the purple is called ``Show Your Care`` and the silver one is called ``Positive Energy``.  Nail polish might not taste sweet like cookies but it`s definitely better in 2`s. 

Testing Testing

I was looking through some magazines and I noticed that nail art is now totally in. I saw a picture of a girl with a floral design on her nails and decided to try it out. This was the first time I had attempted something like this so I didn't know what to expect. After I finished I realized that even if you mess up ( which I did ) it can still look pretty good. Although, my flowers sorta just look like oddly shaped fire works.
