Christmas French Tips!

Hey guys! Ok, so I'm kinda sad how bad these look in pictures.. they look great in person though! Here's what I did..
 For the tips all I did was paint some of my nail white. Then I used a small bush dipped in acetone to wipe it away and make the french tip! Then turned out really well!

 Then I used a dotter and some red and green to outline the tips :)

 I really don't know why it's all pink around my cuticles! It doesn't look like that at all in person!
 Then I did three flowers and used a striper to do some leaves and vines..


 Well that's it for now!
Bye Guys!!<3

Our Christmas Tree!

December 1st! And finally! The Christmas tree is up! And it looks amazing!!We tried something a little different this time where there was like a color theme.. and I REALLY like it!!
Now I can't take full credit on the bow and ribbon going down the tree... I saw it on one of my favorite organizing blogs http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/ When I saw her tree I instantly fell it love! If you haven't checked out her blog you need too!!

Ok, back to the tree. There's something a little surprising about it...every single thing and I mean everything except a sheer ribbon we used to tie the red and gold balls on are from the....Dollar Tree! But that doesn't matter because the tree looks beautiful!
So, we have one gold star and two red ones..
 Then they had like a five pack of the red "JOY" and we got one gold "PEACE"..
 The red swirly reindeer's were also in a five pack but, we only used three.. and the other reindeer came with two..
Now this is one of my favorites! The gold bird! And the red balls we tied a white sheer bow at the top. We got two packs of each the red and gold balls which came with seven in a pack.

I didn't get a close up picture of these long, swirly icicles things but, they're one of my favorites too! They came in a pack of ten and we got 20 silver ones and 10 red ones. They worked great to fill in all the empty spots! 

As you've probably noticed the theme for the tree was red and gold with some pops of silver here and there. :) The annoying thing about all the glitter ornaments is that the glitter falls off and gets EVERYWHERE. If you shake a bunch on the icicles it pours glitter! 

It's definitely starting to feel a lot like Christmas! 

Once again check out http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/ she has AMAZING posts! And she gave me the wonderful idea for the ribbon on the tree!

Hope you liked it!

Come back Tuesday for my nail tutorial!!

Argyle Nails!

Hey guys! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend! And yay it's Tutorial Tuesday once again! 
Sorry about the pinkie... I did the white all wrong :)
 So I'm pretty sure the design is called argyle but, it also looks like a sweater.. anyways here's how I did it..
First, I painted my nails any color(s) I wanted to..

Then using a striping brush I made an "X" and filled it in..
 Then I used a white striper and did a diamond.. these don't look as good on camera then they do in person. -_-  
I think that's it for today..sorry about the short post..
Bye Guys!!<3

My Interest in Pinterest!



Yea.. I can come up with some pretty creative titles. This post is about everything BUT nails since I felt like doing something a little different.

If you haven't been on of Pinterest you need to. It's like a virtual bulletin board where you been almost anything you want!  There's nails, DIY project's, food, animals, art, mostly ANYTHING including hair like this..
Isn't this cool? I would love to try this with my hair one day! But I would wait awhile since I've already died the tips red with Kool-Aid (another thing I found on Pinterest) and a purple streak which is slowly fading to gray.

And there's also stuff like this! Like growing a pineapple from the top of another pineapple! Or how to make mini funnel cakes!  On most pictures it takes you to another website or blog.

I also find a lot of pictures that I want to draw! Like some of these..
Tiger :)

Ariel :)

Butterfly :)








I've free handed all these drawings using only a pencil and a q-tip! :D














































And to end this wonderful post here's a picture of my doggy!!
Rocky!!
Hope you liked today's post!
If you want to see more non-nail related posts let me know!

Bye Guys!

Dandelion nails!

Hey Guys!! I'm excited about this design! But I'm also excited for this tiger I drew!!
It's like my best drawing yet! It's completely free handed.. I just looked at a picture of the tiger that I found on Pinterest. :)

Speaking of Pinterest I also got my nail design from there. It's the dandelion nails! For it I used..

- Revlon - Cloud
- black
- white
- toothpick

So first I painted all my nails with a light blue/grayish color..
Then using the toothpick and black paint a curved black line on your middle finger and pinky. At the top of the lines make s small dot..
Still with the toothpick use white to make the white parts of the dandelion. Put them at the tops of all your nails and and the tops of the black lines..
And there ya go! Dandelion Nails!!

Hope you liked it!

Bye Guys!!<3

Wet n Wild Swatches + Favorite Brands!

Hey guys! I got 2 new Wet n Wild's to add to the family! haha here they are..
 The pink sparkled one is Sparked and the light orange is Sunny Side Up.
 I know these two pictures are blurry.. It's pretty hard to get a clear picture on my phone.
I also wanted to tell you guys what my top 2 favorite and not so favorite brands are. 
Favorite
1. Color Mates - yea there from the dollar store but they're amazing! They cover great!


2. L.A Colors Glitters - These glitters are beautiful! The best part is... they are smooth even without a topcoat! I wish I had more than two..
Not So Favorite1. Zoya - I know a lot of people like this brand, but personally I don't. I used Phoebe (blue matte) with a topcoat over it and it chipped on almost every nail!


2.  Pure Ice - Love the colors. but it takes a while for them to dry and when they do dry they sometimes form some little bumps


Come back Tuesday for a really cool post!!!

Bye Guys!!<3

No Shave November Nails!

Hey guys! Yay! Tutorial Tuesday! Ok, as you might know it's No Shave November which is like Breast Cancer Awareness month in October...only it's in November and it's supposed to raise awareness for men's health. So... I did a mustache on my accent nail! They came out so well! Even on my bad hand! Here's how I did it..

For the accent nail I used Color Mates French Pink..
It's a pretty good nude color that goes great with my skin tone. So I did 2 coats of that. Then with a dotting tool put two spots close together on the tip of my nail. And with a toothpick did two smaller dots for the ends of the mustache.
Still using the toothpick make the outlines pf the mustache and fill them in..
:D A mustache!!!! Now that I think about it I should of done like a full face!

On the rest of my nails I used Zoya Phoebe..
It's a matte polish but, when it has a topcoat on it's a beautiful blue! Here's what it looked like when it was matte..
And here it is with a topcoat..
 Ahh!!! It's gorgeous
Ok, well that's it!

Hope you liked it!

Bye Guys!!<3
