Nail Art...Hit or Miss!?

Hey guys! Hows it going? Today I want to show you some nail art I did quite a while ago but Im not really sure whether its a hit or not. My sis seems to think its really cool but I'm not totally into it. Individually I like the designs on each nail...I dunno, you tell me.

Strange, huh? Well let me break it down. I did a slanted cheetah print on my thumb with the base of Color Club Incognito and dotted the cheetah with OPI Senorita Rose-alita. For my index I used a base of Color Club Oh Naturale and Did the rose with Essie No More Film. My middle finger is done the same as my thumb but with a full print. My index finger is Orly Ingenue. My pinky finger is the same base as my index but the rose is made with Essie Olie Caliente. The leaves design are with .Sally Hansen Green with Envy.

So, Hit or Miss?

Barielle Blossom + Accent Nail Art

Hey guysss! Ugghh,  I hate being away from posting so long but everything has been so hectic recently and plus I was sick so theres that too! Anyway so today I want to show you Barielle Blossom. So this was kind of a let down-ish for me! Mainly because I expected it to be alot more on the peachy side but when I got it I was immediately let down. Then I tried it and now I have mixed feelings. But I'll tell you more about that later.
See this bottleshot shows you why I had falsely assumed that it would be peachier.

But on the nails it looked more like this

A very pretty color but not what was expected. Now you can see why I was let down-ish!
Barielle Blossom is a light pink cream that in certain lights leans peach. In certain lights...like in my lightbox it gives off a peachy look. I dont know if it was just my bottle but the formula on this was horrendous. I had the hardest time applying it. It was thick and bumpy. I first applied 2 layers and then begin to notice the polish was clumping towards the tips so applied a third. Then it began getting uneven so I applied another coat until finally I felt there was a little too many coats and just let it be. At the end it looked fine but not what I had come to expect from a company like Barielle. But it may just have been my bottle. And since I'm not your biggest pink fan I chose to do some small nail art on my ring finger to change it up a bit.

Matte Black with subtle flower design

Hey! Hows it goin? Today I'm gonna show you a matte black polish by La Girl. I really really like this polish because its finish is so rubbery. Its a great alternative to just regular black. It even seems like a jelly matte black to me. I like it alot on my fingers and I dont think I will ever just go with regular black polish ever again. So thats great I guess.

Matte black with flower

Application for this polish was delightful. It looks really good when its on. Like any matte polish it dries lightning fast. I did the flower design with regular black polish and it creates a nice subtle effect. La Girl Matte Black is a great alternative if u want a good and reliable matte polish for a great price. Yup...All round very satisfied! Have a great day.

Oriental Flower Nail Art

Hey everyone! Hows it going? Summer...Summer...Summer. I'm ready to swim and have fun, how bout you? Had enough of winter yet? So in the mood of summer I busted out my turqoise polish and thought I'd do something fun with it. In the end it kinda felt oriental looking to me. Probably only to me hehe!

Oriental Flower Nail Art

I used Flormar Nail Enamel in 424 as my base color. Then I used Seventeen Super Shine in 529 to dot the design in. And I used white polish for the center of my flowers. I love this turqoise color...it's so much fun! If I were to recreate this look though, I would probably use a gold color to dot with first and then re-dot it with the Seventeen one that I have on in the pics. The reason is because this Seventeen color although it is a metallic color doesn't really show that well. As you can see in my pictures its not a very strong color to use for detail. But who cares...I love it anyway! Have a great Friday.

Tropical Flower Nails

Hello all! So I might be a little later than all the rest in finding this out...but More Nail Polish is having a nail art contest. The idea is that your design should be inspired by something. So immediately I thought of my Konad Stamping box. It has the cutest tropical flower design on it and I've wanted to do it for a while. So I did. Fun!

Pink Manicure With A Twist

Hey everybody! How's it going? I am loving the weather these past two days...Warm and Sunny! Enough winter Already! Today, I have a pink manicure with floral accents. I hope you like it!

Floral Accents

Excuse my fat fingers please, winter is no friend of mine! Every year my fingers get swolen and discolored patches come up on my hands, it's a strange phenomenon I tell ya! So overall, I really love this design. I didn't take long at all and it's fun and pretty. It looks artistic without being to time consuming. So I started with a base color of Gabrini Multivitamin in 314 and for my ring finger I used Seventeen Super Shine Nail Enamel in 529. I love this color, it's a golden metallic foil and it looks like gold on your nails, it's definitely one of my favorites. Then I drew in the flower petals and lined them with Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Black out and added some lines and dots with it. I used regular clear polish on my nails except my accent nails. And Viola!

Tartofraises1 Fuchsia flowers with swirl attempt

Hey Everyone! I hope your doing great! So, I saw this wonderful video for tartofraises1 on youtube yesterday and I had to try it. She's INCREDIBLE! I mean she can do anything, and I have been a ginormous fan of hers. Now I dont have any nail art brushes at all. So this was all done with a toothpick and a makeshift brush that I made so obviously it's not precise. Also, her nails are super long and pretty (knock on wood!) and mine are still relatively short so the design isn't so magnifique! But I tried and I give myself credit for atleast that. Check out her video tutorial here, it's really amazing! And here's how mine came out =]

Fuschia flowers with swirl

I didn't have time to finish off the swirls and the studs because I had to go to uni, but I think the flowers turned out lovely. And this mani would look lovely on long nails. I'm definitely going to try this again when my nails are longer and maybe then I'll actually finish off the look lol. Well, I hope you like it and have a nice day!
