Comic Book

Where has the time gone! 1. I can't believe it's been two weeks since I've posted anything. 2. It's already the end of November! With two jobs now I barely have time to do my nails! So I've been slacking a tad... But starting in December, it'll be a month full of Christmas Nails (I can include Hanukkah, Kwanza and any other holiday, if requested!).

So here's the reason for this post, Comic nails! I started off with Sinful Colours Pink Forever, OPI Fly, Gosh Wild Lilac, New York Colour Lexington Yellow and OPI In My Back Pocket. I drew little speech bubbles and exclamation bursts (... I'm quite creative with names of things...).

Next I used Stripe Rite in white to colour in the speech bubbles/action spurts.

I then took my Stripe Rite in black and wrote some exclamations and symbols (meaning bad words!).

Lastly I used a tooth pick and OPI Alpine Snow to add dots around the speech bubbles and action bursts to make it look like it came out of a comic book!

Finish off with your favourite top coat and VOILA! You've got nails straight out of your favourite comic book.

So I will be posting more! I'll try to get one up a week. On friday I'm going to the JUSTIN BIEBER concert with my bestie Laura, so I'll have an update on how awesome that was next week!

Thanks for reading,
Lots of love,

Happy Birthday to Me!

So, today's my birthday!!! I've now left my teen years, and I'm off to adventure through my 20's. And what was the first thing I did this morning? My nails of course! I decided to put some cupcakes on my nails for today's festivities (which included work and dinner...)!

I started off with a base colour of Essie Sand and Tropez.

Next I did the base of the cupcake. For this I used different colours, then added stripes to them. For the base I used: Icing Jaguar, Essence Lime Up!, Essie Mesmorized, OPI The "It" colour and China Glaze Shocking Pink.
For the stripes I used: Revlon Golden, Misa Nail Art Show Me the Greens, Misa Nail Art What a Wonderful Day, Misa Nail Art Crazy Banana, Misa Nail Art Sexy Back.

For the icing I used Revlon Jaded, Sally Hansen Myth, Sally Hansen White Out, Essie Lillacism, and OPI A-Taupe the Space Needle.
For the icing, I just drew little clouds on top of the bases. Don't worry about getting the nail polish on the base because it just looks like the icing is dripping off! (yum, icing!) I also added sprinkles on top... who doesn't LOVE sprinkles!

And finally, for the finishing touches, I added candles! To bring the candles to life I used Stripe Rite Silver Sparkles to make it shine, and added a gem to the top to make it look like it's on fire!

 There you go! The best birthday nails! These are even cuter in person.

Thank you for reading everyone! This blog means a lot to me and it couldn't happen with all my viewrs!

Lots of love,

These nails are my version of a "Little Black Dress". They're not your average black nails, but they do look pretty classy.

I took Claires Galaxy and Stripe Rite in Black to do this. Using Galaxy as the base added the sparkle, and then layering the black over top added the class. In person these nails were even better!

These nails were SUPER easy to do, but looked awesome! I applied the black tips like I would regular french tips (which are coming soon!)

Thanks for reading (even if this was a super short post!)
Lots of Love,
