Lizard Manicure

Hey girlies! Whats going on? So today I want to show you this design that I did which I really liked. It came out looking like lizard skin but you know not in a creepy nasty "what the hell" kinda way. It came out looking interesting in different. So I'll show you what I first started out with. This is just the base color alone.

This is Sally Hasen Xtreme Wear in Green With Envy. Alot of people complain that the brushes on the Xtreme Wear polishes arent the best. For me all the Sally Hansen polishes work great even when the brushes aren't too even because of the round tipped shape. I dunno I never have problems when applying this...I dont even do a clean up afterwards. This isn't a go to color of mine by any means. I guess I'm old school like that. But I keep looking at my nails and it seems pretty cool and it doesn't really clash with my skin which I thought it would. Then I thought this would be a great time to try out the graffiti (crackle) polish I bought from Turkey a year back. And the coolest thing happened!

Tell me that doesn't look like lizard skin? I used Golden Rose Graffiti Nail Art in 063 on top of Green With Envy and it came out soooo awesome. I love it!
This is definitely a summery design and just really is fun. I know that not alot of people would like this or even want to look at it but I appreciate how cool the effect is on it. And I know that crackle polish has lost its luster but it is an easy alternative when you want something cool but dont have time to go all out on your nails. And just a reminder you guys if you click HERE and make a Zoya account you automatically get a FREE polish! So thats all for today!

Katy Perry Inspired Nail Art

Good morning! I hope everyone's day is off to a good start. So today I'm doing a look based on Katy Perry's California Gurls music video. Basically, it's all about cupcakes and sunshine. I found this bracelet on the web, I believe it was made for her video but I'm not sure how true that is. Anyway, I loved the bracelet and thought it would look great on my nails. Ha! Anyway, here it is.



Katy Perry Inspired Nail Art

This is a really cool and fun look. I think it would be awesome for summer time. I did a cupcake on a pale mint green color on my index finger. A whole bunch of colors on my middle finger. I applied a silver base color on my ring and then pink crackle and then a coat of glitter in clear top coat. For my pinky finger i applied a pink base coat and a whole bunch of pink gems on to it. For my thumb i also did a rainbow of colors but this time slanted.







Anyway so thats the look and here's what i used.

This was:
-Flormar Nail Therapy Ridge Filler as a basecoat
-Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in White On for my thumb and middle finger
-Flormar Graffiti Nails in G08 which I applied over the silver on my ring finger
-Jordana Nail Polish in Silver for my ring finger
-Gabrini Multivitamin in 384 on my pinky finger
-Inglot Nail Enamel in 721 for the rainbow on my thumb and middle finger and the base of the cupcake on my index finger
-Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Disco Ball on my ring finger
-Seventeen Super Shine in 279 and 288 for the blue and purple in rainbow and Seventeen Supreme in 30 for the mint green in rainbow and Flormar Nail Enamel in 424 for the darker green in rainbow
-Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Black Out for the outline of the cupcake
-And finally L.A. Colors Art Deco Nail Art Lacquer in Flamingo for the bright pink in rainbow

Phew...that was alot, although it didn't feel quite that much when I was doing this. Honestly, I think it took me about 15 minutes altogether including drying time.

Oh and before i forget this is where I got the idea from
