Nails of the Week

 

Products used:

Sally Hansen: Dries Instantly (as a base and top coat)

Sinful Colors in Tapping Nails

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

 

Products used:

• Yellow Stopper Nail Polish
• Pro Salon Formula Clear Nail Polish
• Milani Nail Art in Green Sketch
• Milani Nail Art in Yellow Design
• Milani Nail Art in Art of Silver
• Milani Nail Art in White Canvas

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.

Products used:

• Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Purple Potion
• Milani Nail Art in Green Sketch
• Milani Nail Art in Yellow Design

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 :-)

Love of Nail Polishes

In the past I wasn't one to pay a lot of attention to my nails. I admit there were times when I just couldn't stand how my hands looked so I would go out and get acrylics. I always ended up getting the white tips. While I was pregnant I went and got my nails dome again but, that time I decided to get my acrylics done in whole colors. That's when I started to love the idea of being able to change the color of my nails whenever I wanted.

Approximately two months ago I decided that I was going to try to maintain my nails looking decent. I went out and bought a couple of Sinful Colors nail polishes at my local Walgreens along with a topcoat, basecoat and nail file. I've quit using acrylics in order to keep my nails looking fresh and natural. In the past,I would always apply the nail color when I was in a hurry and my nails always ended up looking like a hot mess. But I've been working on the color application and it's just been getting better and better.

Lately I've really been into funky, fun, nail polishes. Most of them might be last season but I really don't care. I've done my nails in hot pink, magenta, metallics (green, yellow, orange, blue) it's been crazy. I feel that by painting your nails you simply show off a bit of your personality. Although people who know me might disagree but I think the colors I've been sporting lately definitely show off a bit of my fun loving side. There are people out there who don't dare to try to pull off bold colored nail polishes.

Then I came to thinking...am I getting to old to wear these type of colors?
