Fall wedding nail design



I was painting "prototype" fake nails tonight to see what design I want to do to go with my bridesmaid dress for my brother's wedding at the end of October. I was originally planning on going with this design [link] but in red and gold... But after trying it, I didn't like it, so I searched for other designs on google and came across a modern flower design, so then I started contemplating how I could tie that in with the wedding colors, and I remembered that our bouquets will have sunflowers in them, so out came the paint.

Paint drip nails



I was going in for an ultrasound last week and I was nervous, so I tried to distract myself with painting my nails, as per my usual Wednesday habit... But being restless made it even harder to come up with a deign, so when I finally managed to come up with something, I came up with this.
I like it, it's new. I never venture out of the house with any part of my nail bed visible, but I was too lazy to paint another color under the blue, and the pink under my nail complimented the blue anyway, so I went with it.

Fake nail fun 2



Another picture of the fake nails I've been painting recently to keep myself occupied. Some of these are from the previous picture that have been updated, some left alone, and a lot of new ones.

From left to right:

First row: The original two wedding designs, and the oil slick color updated by painting it in the "Ruffian" manicure style. I just discovered the Ruffian this afternoon.

Second row:
The same emerald and white zebra print as the previous.
The champagne color updated also in the Ruffian style.
A nail with something like 7 or 8 coats of glitter nail polish.

Third row:
Neon pink with a clear UV reactive french tip on it.
A Yin/Yang design with the black part being UV reactive, and the green part being glow in the dark.
Tri-colored Del Sol glitter look that changes from red, silver, and blue to purple, red, and green (polish names: Heart Breaker, Ruby Slippers, and Rock Star).

Fourth row:
A modern black and white design topped with another Del Sol nail polish that is clear inside and turns red in the sun (Peek-A-Boo).
A tester nail of Del Sol's Island Fever.
Another Ruffian manicure, to go with the silver and black one below it. I wanted to see which combo was better. I also tested an iridescent color on the tip to see how it showed up over black.

Fifth row:
My own nail polish franken of Sally Hansen's Blue it, and ORLY's Shine On Crazy Diamond, topped with a UV reactive topcoat.
A test of a design I was thinking about. I don't like it.
Another test nail I layered 3 different colors to achieve this color.

Sixth row:
A tester nail of Sephora By OPI's I'm With Brad.
A black nail topped with a couple coats of ORLY's Shine On Crazy Diamond.
A blue nail with an attempt at the orange paint drip design. It was a failure.
A tester nail of my 3 different glitter polishes over black.

Nail Painting Pictures


Flames Nail Art



For Curuse, who asked me to play Vindictus yesterday, only to get the reply "In a bit, I'm doing my nails." XD I felt like I owed them a pic of what I had done, since I spent a loooooong time working on them.

Also, I am notoriously messy with painting my nails. And I really don't care. :P

For whoever is interested, I followed this tutorial, except the silver paint part. It's in German, but it's still pretty easy to follow even if you can't speak German. Like me.

Also, I covered up the name of the perfume with my fingers, so I hope that's enough to keep me out of any possible trouble. @_@ If anyone has a problem with it, let me know and I'll take the pic down.

19 "Nail Polish is Important"



or so i've told my government teacher :O_o: when i was doing my nails in class lol.

NEVER take pictures of your own hand! it hurts your wrist if you want to get it in a weird angle, and the quality comes out bad. xD the first shot was the best because after that i couldn't keep steady...rargh. curse my suckishness. lolol

i like painting my nails, but i'm super bad at it. it's easy for some girls, but not for me D: so i rarely do it (and i use a ton of remover fff) you can't really tell what this color is unfortunately...curse mee...but it's dark purple with a light layer of silver, and then like three coats of clear. :iconhurrplz: i luvs it.

next time i'll get a friend to photograph my artsy nails wahaha (cailin i'm looking at youuu)

Water melon nails



i had this random idea over the summer to do this as i bought new green nail varnish :) and i find it boring just painting my nails one colour soo yaa!

Echoes In My Ears



Reminds me of an old painting. A friend of mine playing the piano at my house. She used to fill the house with most beautiful haunting melodies. And yes, she picks fabulous nail colors. Model is Kayla Iuliucci.

Criss-cross Nail



I am obsessed with painting my nails. I love experimenting with patterns and colors and I do not use pens.

Life is a show y'allz.


Myself again from a recent shoot I did.. Had much fun listening to good music... Felt good for november!

Van Gogh Nails

 

I adore Vincent Van Gogh's painting 'Starry Night' and I got pretty bored last night so I decided to attempt to paint it on my nails. I had to use cocktail sticks a lot, because I only have one art nail varnish (the white one) but I think it looks not too bad :) Took about 15-20 minutes per nail.

Nail Set 1



This is some samples of my nail art work. Hope you like them. Enjoy

Nails: Hearts




Well, i've been fooling around with painting my nails lately, so I thought; Why not uploade it here? It's some kind off art too, right?

So I just uploaded it. This was the last nails I had, it's the left hand, so that's why the motive is so pretty! xD
Seriously, it's way to hard on the right hand 'cause i'm not lefthanded, so it looks more retarded on the right hand than the left hand. But what the heck, I just need to practice some more, that's all ^^

I used a light pink, white and a red for those nails - And i'm already thinking of which I should have this week: A whole red nail with a white heart or a white nail with presents on it xD

Nails: Pumpkins



As you can see there's a hat on this picture too, that's because it was a picture for a blog I have ^^
- I had to go to a Halloween party and then I wanted that hat on + those nails.
I don't have a better picture of the nails, but I thought you could see them pretty well on this picture :3

It's pumpkins! They're so cute! >w<

For those nails I have used: Black, orange, green and white.

Well, it's actually not me there made the nails, it was together with a friend, where she made mines and I made hers. We needed to go to the same party, so we had matching hats and nails (she's my bestfriend, that's why xD), but it's still some cute pumpkins if you ask me ;D
