Fierce Red Tips

Hello,

Today I have another nail foil mani. I like how the foils can transform your simple mani into something so gorgeous. I love the tips so much in this mani that I might do more looks like this in the future. Click here if you want to check my last post on nail foils.

For this, I applied one coat of Zoya Bela. After it dried, I made a french tip using Essie Fishnet Stocking. Then using a Konad image plate M25 and RA 118 (picture of the plates at bottom) I stamped the roses using Sally Hansen Insta Dri Rapid Red and drew some leaves using Holly Green acrylic paintOn the tips, I applied Best Glue Ever which I thinned down with water to almost 30-40% as it is easy to apply when thinned down. After the glue dried (it becomes transparent) I applied the metallic red nail foil. Then using a Q-tip I rubbed over the foil so that it attaches itself properly. After that I applied Wet N Wild top coat because for some reason fast drying top coat does not work well with the foils, at least not for me. In the end I applied Seche Vite top coat on all the fingers.

St. Patricks Day Nails

Hello,

Happy St. Patricks day everyone! I hope you had a great time. I am down from cold and fever so was in my bed all day :( but still got a chance to do my nails. I think I have an attachment to green polish as it makes me feel relaxed. I used stamping for his design and I hope you guys like it.

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Shawn. Then using a Shany stamping image plate SH12 I stamped the shamrocks using Sally Hansen Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pen in Green Chrome and China Glaze 2030. After that I applied green glitter in the middle of each shamrock.

Jackpot!

Hello,

I wanted to post this haul earlier but I was busy with the Valentine's Day series. I brought all this stuff at the end of January from Dollar General. I went to store to get some random stuff and while browsing I saw that they carry Sally Hansen Color pens. I have read that these pens are really good for stamping and for the price I could not resist and brought all the shades they carried. I did get to try one of the pens for stamping and it worked like a charm. Just for reference Ulta sells it for like $8 or something.  For all of this stuff I just spend $10 plus tax.

Valentine's Day Nails 3

Hello,

This is my third post of the Valentine's Day series. It is a very simple design using acrylic paints and dotting tool. I hope you guys like it.

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Sooki on accent finger and 2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Bubble Gum Pink on remaining fingers and thumb. Then using Royal Fuchsia I covered the sides of the nail(Metallic Red on accent finger). After it dried I drew a line using Turquoise ( Metallic Green on accent finger) acrylic paint where Royal Fuchsia paint ended and added a lavender acrylic paint (Metallic Brown on accent finger)line in the middle of it. Using the same lavender acrylic paint I drew three hearts in the middle section using a dotting tool. On the accent finger I added three green heart rhinestones.

Green on Green

Hello,

It is hard to believe that today is 31st of January. This month just flew by. I am planning on doing Valentine's Day series, it just means that I will try to upload new Valentine's Day theme mani everyday or every other day.

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Dree. Then using a fauxnad plate B25 (picture of the plate at bottom) I stamped the flowers using Sally Hansen Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pen (that was a mouthful name) in shade Green Chrome. These pens are really good for stamping and are less messier than polishes. I stamped the big flower on the first two fingers and small flower on my pinkie (big flower was looking kinda awkward on pinkie). On my thumb and ring finger I stamped the whole design. I applied 2mm  and 1.5mm rhinestones on my ring finger.

The plate I used is similar to Konad M26.

Colorful Glass Pattern

Hello,

For this, I have seen so many people on youtube doing this type of nail art that it is difficult to give credit to one person. I do not know who originally came up with this idea but whosoever started it did an awesome job. It is a very easy design and you can play with any colors you like and it does not have to be perfect. As always, have fun with it.
