Stamp Nail Art

This was my first attempt at using stamp nail art designs.  It's a little difficult to figure out the technique (without watching a couple videos), but with trial and error, stamping is so fun and easy! 

And we're back!

So I took a break for a few weeks, but now the blog is back up and will be filled with lots of updates soon. =)  Unfortunately, I only used my phone camera to take pictures, so please excuse the poor quality.    

Finally tried newspaper print nails and they were soo easy to do! 

Another easy design which I loved after doing it...

BMW Nail Art

I love BMWs.  I have yet to own one, but I do dream of having a BMW M6.  I don't know if it'll ever happen, but I can still wish, right?

So in honor of that beautiful car...

I'll admit that this is probably my least favorite creation because of how many things that are wrong with it - from the misshapen '6' to the wrong shade of blue.  Gotta keep trying til I get better at it though!    

Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

I was in a good mood on this post-valentine's cloudy day and this song came to mind...

So here's a design based on it...

Valentine's Day Nail Art - Hearts

Another one for Valentine's Day...hearts <3  

This is another free hand one, but ended up not quite as neat as I would like.  I'm still trying to learn! 

First Attempts at Nail Art

My first attempt was so lackluster that I didn't even take a picture of it.  Orange nails, ring finger glittery gold with a 50 in orange to celebrate my uncle's 50th birthday at his surprise party.   

So then I thought I would be ambitious and try something for the Superbowl (even though I strongly dislike football) and came up with this...

The picture isn't very good quality and the work is sloppy, but I was proud of my first attempt and surprisingly received positive feedback about it.    

And now I took on a real challenge and wanted a design of something I loved for filler until I did a Valentine's Day look.  So I thought I would do a Google theme (because I love everything about Google) and I found an incredible design at http://foryournailsonly.net/2010/09/what-are-you-searching-for.html. (Thanks for the design!)  I knew I couldn't come up with a simpler or better design than that, so I just replicated it and added a bit for the other hand.

    

Since my color collection is limited, the colors are all acrylic paints and white is Pure Ice Super Star.
