Mario super mushroom nails!

I love sitting around playing old school video games!!! Mario is my favorite! So here are some nails that I am sure will strike up quite a few conversations! :-)


 


Colors you need:
Cream
White
Black
Red

Tools:
Toothpick
Polish remover


Start off with a cream coat.

Now as you can see in my pictures I just painted the bottom part of my nail red as if it were supposed to be a French. After looking at my nails I noticed that in order for it to really look like a mushroom I messed up. Instead of the tip facing the normal manicure way it should have been opposite. I'll put up pictures as an example.

Next, on the cream top part make two small white dots. This will be part of the eye so keep it small

Dip your tooth pick in black and just fill out the top part of the eye.


Next using white again, make one larger oval in the middle of the red and two smaller ovals on each side.


Finish off with a top coat. and remember to let your nails dry in between each layer!!!!





Here is where you can see what i was talking about the reverse french tip. here is how all the tips should look so that they look like little mushrooms!!!!

Orange blue and glitter nails!!!!






These are easy and I think look like they took a lot more time then they really did!


Start by painting your nails orange!


Take silver polish and paint the top right corner. You can use some scotch tape if you want to make a really straight line.

Let that dry.

Next take dark blue and just paint the tip of the glitter. It should make it look like the glitter is just a thin line!


Top off with clear coat!

Ta-da!!!!

Nail polish strips fun!

Okay so I tried a bunch of times to do power ranger nails an they are super hard. I think I need to buy some smaller brushes so once I do that I will try again!! :-)

But for now here is something easy and different!

I love nail polish strips but who wants the exact same nails as someone else!? I know I pride myself on never having the same nails as anyone else!

So here's a fun new twist to them!



All you have to do is pick out one color that is in your strip. I used pink and place strips so since there was less black thank pink I used black nail polish!

Now I did them all different but you can do your nails more uniform. Like make them look like a French mani!

I cut what I wanted out of the strip first and attached them to my nail and then just filled in the empty nail spaces with black! I liked the effect! What do you think?!

Strawberry nails!!!

It's almost the end of summer. :-( but there is still enough time for a few cookouts and pool visits! These nails are perfect for the occasion!


Start with a red base coat!

Add green tips. I freehand mine but a lot of people use tape for super straight lines.

Dip a toothpick in white polish. Add tiny white dots to the red part! I did like 6-9 dots but depending on the size of your nail beds it can change.


Finish a top clear coat.

Super simple! They only took me like ten minutes!


Tomorrow I'll do power ranger nails!!!! I'm super excited! My brother in law will be painting his nails soon after he see them! ;-)

Words With Nails!



Hey everyone!!

Okay so I do not have a steady hand when to comes to painting my nails. So sometimes I see nails that I really want to do but I cant because I can not hold my hand steady for some of the designs! So I found a new option!!!

This can be used with magazine clippings or normal printer paper. But the only problem is that is really doesn't last that long, but it is perfect for one night events!

I used text but you can use pictures or whatever you want!

Check out my sisters website so you can have great nails and a great a body!


Paint your nails white! If there is any white on the paper you need to paint them  white. If not it will show through and change the color of the picture.



Print what you want on your nails and trim it down so it is small enough to fit on your nails.

Roll your paper a little bit in between your fingers so that it has a nice curl. Put a Clear top coat on your nails and then quickly place your paper on your nail. using a tooth pick press the edges down repeatedly until they are flush against your nail!

Add a top coat. (super super important!)

Learn something new on here!?! Take a picture and send it to me! I'll post them so that everyone can see your spin on them!!!

These were crystals splatter paint nails! They look awesome! Lovvveeeee her color choices!

Crackle fun!




I get bored very easily. I loved using crackle about the first three times I used it. After that it just felt like I was doing the same thing over and over. So here is a few ways to make it a little more fun!

I only have black crackle! But this post isn't about colors it's about fun stuff you can do under your crackle!







All you have to do it paint your nail three different colors!
I just painted my nails pink and put a white messy line hoping it would give it a fun look!

I think it works!
 


Glitter is always a fun option!!!!
I wanted this one to look like tie dye!
