Easter Bunny

Hey Cuties!

     Happy Easter! Even though it’s the end of it, I thought it would still be fitting to do an Easter design. There’s nothing more Easter than the Easter Bunny, so here’s an adorable cartoon version of him. It was a very black and white nail, so I decided to add some colour to make it less bland. 

     This is quite a complicated design, so I don’t plan on doing step by step or pictures for this design. It’s literally up there in difficulty with my Santa design from Christmas! If you like enough that you want to try it, let me know and I’ll see what I can do! ;-P

     Next week I hope to have some exciting news…but you’ll have to wait until next Monday. Unless you keep an eye on Twitter, Instagram and/or Vine, and if you do keep an eye on those you’ll see a post from yesterday! So until next time, stay fabulous!

Tulip in the Rough

Hey Cuties!

     HAPPY SPRING! Well, sort of. I’m getting a snow storm sorry Nor’ Easter? where I’m at today. But no matter where you are, it’s officially spring as of yesterday. So long winter! We’re closer to warmer days, sunny days, tan lines, bikinis, sand and all around fun! On a side note, Easter is on Sunday, and I’m kinda excited!

     In celebration of spring, I’ve done a tulip on a naked nail. What I love so much about naked nails is that it can make a complex design look so simple and effortless, even though this design isn’t too complicated! So open up the windows (unless it’s still cold and there’s snow where you are), get out your flip flops (or tennis shoes) and get ready to put some spring in your step! Here we go!

Tools: 

     Nail Polish Colours: Red, Glitter Red, Green, Glitter Green

     Nail Art Brush

Steps: 

     1.) Paint a red heart, with sharp points, in the middle of your nail.

     2.) Paint a small red side-ways square on top of the heart, with a small              space in between.

     3.) Outline the heart and the square with red glitter polish.

     4.) Paint a stem (and optional leaf) beneath the tulip. Outline with                      glitter green polish.

     This is a fast and easy floral design perfect for spring. If you want to put more meaning into your tulip, you can find out the meanings behind each colour of the flower. You can do multiple flowers over your nails and create a tulip garden. 

     So last week, I said I might get around to doing a green St. Patty’s day design, but didn’t. I realized I had little to no green nail polish and didn’t want to go out and buy nail polish for one design.

     As always, stay posted to Twitter, Instagram and Vine for more, and until next time, stay fabulous!

Over the Rainbow

Hey Cuties!

     So St. Patty’s Day is on Thursday this week, which usually means green and drinking EVERYWHERE! I don’t know about where you live, but in my city, people go to the pubs SUPER early (like 6 or 10am) and drink all day into the night. Also green isn’t my favourite colour so this week’s Mani Monday involves a small single green stripe. 

     This week’s design has a luck o’ the Irish feel to it. Still relevant to St. Patty’s day right? I’ve been waiting a few weeks to share this design with you cuties too, so I’m super excited to share today! It’s a cloudy sky background with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It may seem rather complicated, but it’s easy…ish. Here we go!

Tools: 

     Nail Polish Colours: Black, Purple, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Green, Gold,                                              Yellow, Orange, Red and White

     Nail Art Brush

     Makeup Sponge

Steps: 

     1.) Paint your whole nail dark blue.

     2.) Using your makeup sponge, dab white on your nails to create clouds.

     3.) Before you start painting the rainbow, decide on how thick you want             the stripes to be and where you want the rainbow on your nails. The             order of colours starting from the top is: 

     - Red

     - Orange

     - Yellow

     - Green

     - Blue

     - Purple

     4.) The paint the pot, simply paint a black circle with the horizontal line            sitting on top.

     5.) Pain the top of your pot with an many “gold coins: as you’d like with             your gold polish.

     This design doesn’t ned to include the pot o’ gold, or the rainbow. It’s unique and memorizing to look at the “clouds in the sky” on your nails without the extras. Some tips for the rainbow I’d like to mention are stick to a pint type, as in matte, glitter, translucent, neon, pastel, etc…unless you’re going for a unique rainbow? for lack of a better word. Another tip for a bright rainbow, regardless of the type of polish you use, is to paint he area of the rainbow white before you paint in the colours. This will give it a pop of colour and make sure everybody will see it, no matter how far away they are. ;-P

     Even though I previously said green isn’t my favourite colour, I may post a green nail design for St. Patty’s day on Thursday. We’ll see. As always, don’t forget to check Twitter, Instagram and Vine for extras and until next time, stay fabulous!

Stripes & Dots

Hey Cuties!

     I’m in a basic kind of mood, so decided on a basic nail design. It’s black and white (classic), with basic designs. It’s super versatile and you can make it your own. I promise there’s more colour to come in the upcoming weeks! Here are the steps:

Tools: 

     Nail Polish Colours: Black, White

     Nail Art Brush

     Nail Art Dotter

Steps: 

     1.) Paint the left side of your nail white, and the right side black. 

     2.) Paint black dots on the white portion of your nail, and white stripes              on the black portion of your nail.

     This is quite the versatile and simple nail design. You can make the background horizontal or diagonal, do dots and stripes on opposing sides, and even choose different colours or shades. No matter what you do, you can make this design uniquely yours! As always, don’t forget to check out Twitter, Instagram and Vine, and until next time, stay fabulous!
