Pretty In Pink

That's the name of this Tip Toe polish. I'm not really sure where I got it from. I found it in my house and took it with me to college. I'm not a huge fan of pink, but I like how this particular one looks with my complexion.

And it looks even fancier when I hold a candle like this...

I'm gonna try to take better pictures with my friend's camera soon. But for now my iPhone will do. And Instagram filters help slightly. :)

Leave me comments so I don't get lonely.

Lots of Love

Erin Rogue

This color went perfect with Erin's outfit. I had to paint her nails and take pictures with her jewelry. It was just meant to be haha. I did a classic rogue nail and made it this glitter that I absolutely adore. It came out pretty nice. She kept saying she didn't like her fingernails, but I thought they were perfectly cute. :)

I hope she wears something similar tomorrow. 

Erin was a lovely person to paint nails with. 

Lots of Love

Tribal

So I've been wanting to try a sort of tribal polish for a while now. Mariama, my lovely hand model, was gracious enough to let me try on her haha. I must say, since I've started this blog more and more people trust me with their hands. o___o

Anyway, they came out pretty nice and were really simple to do. You just have to have a lot of patience. :]

I love how they came out and I think they look great with Mariama's outfit. I'm happy she's happy :D

If you want to learn more about these nails leave a comment or something so I have somebody to talk to. The internet can be a horribly lonely place. *le cry*

Wrapped Up

Yayyy! Elva loved her nails so much yesterday she took the color off and let me do them again tonight. :D

I like to choose something for my paintees that suits them. I'm crazy, so I do crazy things on my nails. Elva, on the other hand, is a little trickier because she's a lot more reserved. But that doesn't mean we can't be creative and fun! :)

 I call it "Wrapped Up" because it kind of reminded me of a present. And we were also wrapped up in Florence and the Machine at the time. That really has nothing to do with the name at all but I thought it would sound cool saying it did. :]












She looks so happy D'OHHHHHHH!






I can't figure out how to get to the bottom of these pictures so I'm just gonna sign off here in the middle of my post. :)

Artsy Antics?

So this was my most fun hand model. I had to take a picture of her in her entirety because she had way too much fun modeling for me. Her name is Shelley and she's lovely. :)

Doesn't she look so happy?! <3

I painted her nails an eggshell white called Himalaya and then used make up brushes to sponge on different colors. After that I used my trusty thin black polish to draw some lines and dots and once again make it look artsy?

 

I think these nails were perfect for Shelley and I had so much fun painting them. I tried like a billion different things with the thumbs until I finally stumbled upon something super simple, but super cute at the same time. Shelley was almost as impatient as I am waiting for them to dry haha. 

Anyway, if you liked this look leave a comment and let me know what you think. :)

Post Church Release

After a lovely service attended with my co-worker and good friend Jermaine, I was really feeling inspired. So Elva and I laid on my floor-bed, watched The Lorax, and I just started experimenting on my nails. I was kind of discouraged last night with how difficult I found it to do the whole fancy lines and dots thing that Salons do, so I decided to practice on myself. 

I re-vamped the two ring fingers that I had worked on last night and realized how much more I could've done with them. It wasn't hard at all. It was a bit difficult to keep a steady hand while painting my right hand, but that's my only complaint. I'm happy with the results and so excited to try something like this on my next victim. Lol.

Oh, and The Lorax btw was absolutely awesome. My friend Yasmeen from Castle-Fashion.blogspot.com would absolutely love it. [Aside from maybe the cheesy musical aspect of it] I however am a huge cornball and was enthralled by even the musical numbers. The animation was awesome. And what a coincidence when I went onto Instagram post-movie and saw somebody do these nails. [I am itching to get the colors to try them out!]

The Lorax was absolutely my favorite Dr. Suess book when I was little. There was a point in my life where I could recite it. I used to read it all the time up to about the 5th grade and I'm surprised I didn't get more into the saving the planet business as a result. It's never too late to start I guess. I'm gonna go recycle something now. I'm feeling I have a responsibility to do so.

Leave your love for me and thanks for reading. :]

Sort Of Like A Salon?

So like I was trying to do what the cute little old ladies in the nail salons do where they just draw a bunch of lines and dots and make it look like some grandiosely thought out masterpiece, and then I realized it's way harder than it looks. But I think for a first time it came out pretty cute. 

Let me know what you think! I'm eager for feedback. o______o

Lots of Love
