Spaceship Nails

(Read with an alien voice) Earthlings I come again with another nail tutorial. Hahaha you'll soon know why I'm feeling alienish! Well I found this tutorial on Pinterest of course. It's very easy and pretty cool actually.
 
 
And well since I don't like to copy exactly from these tutorials I just used the method and turned it into my own. And here's the result.
 

 
Don't they look like alien nails or like an alien ship inspired look? I used a Mark nail polish that is so shiny and silvery and feels like a metal spaceship. I then followed the directions to make my own random shapes to stick to my nails. This is great to get those sharp clean edges. I had no set design, I just cut random shapes and did random designs. I added a top coat a done.
 
Until next time Earthlings.


Never too late for love-ly nails.

Yes I know it's May and Valentine's Day is far behind but I found this picture of my Valentine's Day Nails and I wanted to share it with you guys. Especially because it's not often that I actually like the results of my nail adventures. I used a pink nail color as a base, did one nail in a peach color and added sparkles on one. Than with a dotting tool I made a heart on one nail and top coat and tada. Nothing out of this world but I thought it was cute enough to share!
 

Simple Tribal Nails

It had been awhile since I blogged. I had been working full time and really had no time or energy to post. But here I am now, no longer working so I decided to finally post.
 
Like everyone else I love looking at nail tutorials on Pinterest but honestly once I try doing them most of the time they never ever look like the pictures. I don't have the ability or the tools most of the time.
 
I saw a lot of Tribal inspired nails and this is my dumb down version. So if you're like me these nails should be super easy.
 
I started by doing all my nails in a solid yellow color. I used Avon Nailwear Pro+ in Sunshine.  
One thing I have learned the hard way is to let the base coat dry completely. I'm so Impatient. But you have to if you want the designs to go on smoothly. I only choose to put designs on a couple of nails including my thumb. I used a dotting tool to draw a sort of chevron design with a Sally Hansen nail polish in White On, a Wet n Wild in Blazed and a Mark trend in Blue Bella. Pretty easy right.
 

I did the same on another nail and on another I did a different random design. Just did half white and added a pink stripe down the nail. I finished it off with some angled stripes.


That's it. Did the same with the other hand and added a top coat and finish. Sorry about the poor quality of pictures, doing it with my phone. Hope yours come out nice.
