Yooooutube!

So I have been slacking on nail art these days. I did one last week, gave me hell but I didn't get to snap a photo.
A lot of things went wrong while trying to achieve the nail art:

• Konad stamping went a bit crazy since I was doing it in my room rather than the usual place, the bathroom.
• My left pointer finger kept getting scratched or messed up somehow. I had to remove and re-apply base coat, nail polish and Konad design.. 
• My Seche Vite top coat got all gooey on me so I had to use a different one. Thank goodness I had one. 
• My rhinestones fell off, I only had them on my ring finger. 

The lack of my presence on here has been killing me a bit. So I created a youtube video of a collection of all the nail art and nails I've had over the year or so. Here it is:

Enjoy!:)

"A Thousand Splendid Suns"

Last night I attended Linkin Park's concert and I'm still in shock. I've been a fan since I was 10, I'm currently 19 so I guess after 9 years I felt what I should have a loooooooooooong time ago: VERY HAPPY.
For the occasion I had more time than I did for the Weezer concert. I spent a lot of time on the detailed work, no one's perfect so when I was doing my right hand I failed so badly. :3

Results: I took this picture right after I was finished, you can tell by the messiness.
Products used:

• Beauty Secrets base coat
• Essie's 'Licorice' varnish
• *Excluding the ring finger* Sinful Colors 'Glass Pink', only one coat to get the metallic effect.
• *Ringer Finger* I made a blend of my own to get the grey glittery varnish. (You can't see the glitter) I blended all the listed:
• Sally Hansen's White 
• Sinful Colors 'Glass Pink'
• *DISCONTINUED* CoverGirl glitter top coat
• OPI's 'Lucerne-taintly Look Marvelous'
• I took a 10/0 thin paint brush and painted in the logo.
• Finished off with Seche Vite top coat. 

Is It Spring Yet?

After the M&M nails I wanted to do Skittles inspired, then Tron inspired. I thought I should go with something simple yet cute and I was gonna hold off on the other ideas. What got me to do these nails is the beautiful weather that's occurring in my area in January. Awkward but very nice :) I also entered Daily Nail's contest to win the American Apparel nail polishes that are sooo gorgeous! I hope I win! :)
Today I came up with this design:
1. I started off with a base coat, the same jumbo bottle from Sally's Beauty Supply.
2. I used OPI's Moon Over Mumbai until it was blend between translucent and opaque.
3. Using OPI's Black Onyx I dotted on the pedals of the flower, some 5 pedals and some 4.
4. Took Milani's yellow nail art and made a yellow dot in the middle.
5. Taking a 2mm rhinestone I covered the yellow just a little so on some of the nails the yellow peekaboos under.
5. Took Love & Beauty from Forever 21 in Teal and a 10/0 brush from Simple Simmons art brush and made the stem.
6. Finished the nails with Seche Vite.

I decided to upload that video. Here it is!

Two In One.

Before going to NY I did a quick nail polish to help my nails keep strong after the acrylics popped off. It wasn't anything special. Just 1 color and stickers.

When I came back I did this design with more stickers:

1) Primer

2) OPI'S Black Onyx

3) Wallgreens nail art sickers

4) Top Coat

Just yesterday, Tuesday, I got sick of looking at them and decided to do something fun. So I did M&M nails.

1) Primer

2) On the thumb I used LA Colors' Static Electricity, the pointer finger OPI's Atomic Orange, ULTA's Candy Red, Hot Topic's basic green and Milani's yellow nail art. 

3) Seche Vite top coat.

Let It Snow!

I've already removed these not to long ago, I'm gonna get that manicure tomorrow. FINALLY! :)

How I achieved:

1. I used Beauty Secrets Base Coat
2. Two coats of Sinful Colors 'See You Soon'.
3. Konad image plate m59, I used both snowflakes. I used OPI 'Pearl Of Wisdom' (I looked it up online, I basically used a regualr standard white. Mine is a sample from OPI and I forgot the name), OPI 'Dreaming Of Red' and Finger Paints 'Key To My Art'. 
4. On top I used Seche Vite to complete the nails. 

I don't celebrate Christmas but after working at Michaels', the carols playing on the radio get to your consciousness and haunt your dreams.. Ha.. I love snow, I once expierenced snow fall in Lake Tahoe, UT one year; they were actual snow flakes.. :)
