NOTD

As you may have noticed, as of recently I have really been into nail art. I like the idea of having my nails done in a way that probably no one else will have.

Steps:

• I applied one coat of a clear polish that prevents nails from getting yellow.
• I followed it by one coat of clear polish.
• I took a green nail art polish and made a vertical line right in the middle of the nail.
• I made a vertical line on each side of the green line by using a yellow nail art polish.
• I used a white nail art polish to make two dots each on the opposite end spaces of the nail.
• I followed it by making 2 silver dots in the middle spaces of the nail.
• To finish it off I applied one coat of clear nail polish

Teal NOTD

I’m still in Spring mood when it comes to my nail polishes.  This time I decided to paint my nails using teal as the main color.  Teal is very in this spring but, I decided to go beyond. 

I applied a teal nail polish on the nail bed and three different nail art colors (green, yellow, white) to create the designs. 

Originally, I was only going to do the flower design on my ring finger but, I wanted to see what else I could come up with.

Products used:

• Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in The Real Teal (#39)

• Milani Nail Art in Green Sketch
• Milani Nail Art in Yellow Design
• Milani Nail Art in White Canvas

 

Is it too much? Should I just stick to one design?

Let me know what you think!

Wild & Crazy NOTD Nail Polishes

 

Recently I had done a NOTD post but, did not post a picture of the polishes.

Wild and Crazy NOTD

I went to CVS on Easter Sunday to pick up some diapers but, as always ended up in the cosmetic aisles. I picked up a purple nail polish and two nail art polishes (yellow/green)

I decided that I wanted to do something that I wouldn’t ordinarily do. So I liked the idea of doing an Easter candy cane.

I used purple for the nail bed and added yellow and green diagonal lines.

Later on I’ll do a post with the bottles of nail polish.

Let me know what you think :-)

NOTD: Hues of Gray

In one of my initial posts, I had raved how much I love painting my nails.  But the strange thing is, I had never done a NOTD post.

Last night, my husband, son and I went to check out the new CVS that opened in our municipality.  Of course I made a bee line to the cosmetics section.  It wasn’t until I got to the nail care section that I fell in love.  There was this wonderful variety of nail polishes, which they don’t have over at Walgreens.

These were the two bottles I picked up…

• Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Extreme Wear Color in Gunmetal
• Milani Nail Art in Art of Silver

As of recent I had been looking for a nice gray tone nail polish but had been unlucky in my search.  I had also been thinking about getting a nail art polish just to play around with it and see what would come up. I ended up getting this glitter gray nail art polish because it will go well with a variety of nail polish colors.

Would you wear this color?

Are you into nail designs?

Do you know of any other brands that have gunmetal shades?
