Easter Cross

Make a Wish

Ok, this design is awesome. I got the design straight from a tutorial from youtube (which I'll post down below) and I love it. It's so unique and simple to do. If you can't tell what it is (because it is a modern version) it's a Dandelion that's been blown on and the seeds are blowing in the wind.
   Here is the link to the Youtube tutorial I followed:

I hope you all like it as much as I did...please leave a comment :)


So Simple

Here is another design I did on my over the weekend. She likes her nails simple so this is really as simple as it gets if you ask me.
   I dont't have a tutorial for you to watch for this one, we kind of made up as we went. She was happy and I was happy in the end...check it out :)

Here Kitty Kitty

   Another great tutorial I got from Youtube. I can't remember what they called it but I called it "Here Kitty Kitty". It's the first time I did my tips without tape or stickers too so I'm excited about that. I see other lady's doing it and it kind of scared me to try it myself...lol...but it wasn't that bad. They turned out pretty good, I'm proud.
   We own 2 cats so I loooooove cats. That been said, I love how it turned out. It cute and simple and was so easy. Hope you all like it:)
   Here is the Youtube tutorial that inspired me:

Ducks In A Row

   I tried an Easter theme today on my nails and they turned out pretty good I must say. I got the tutorial from Robin Moses on Youtube and I will be posting her link to the tutorial down below. Check out her blog also, it's awesome. Robin is really the biggest reason why I started nail art. Her tutorials just pulled me in, I watched one, then another, then another and before I knew it, two hours of tutorials have gone by...lol. Her tutorials are so easy to follow and she explains everything. Her nail art is perfection. Go take a peek...She has so many designs I want to try...I never know which one to pick.
Here is her link to her blog:

   Here is Robin's tutorial link on Youtube for this nail art:

Make sure you send me pic if you decide to give it a go, I would LOVE to see them.
Till next time ;)

Spring is Here

Ok, so my inspiration for this one is TODAY (the first day of spring)...YAY
   Of course I have a tutorial that also inspired the vision...there are so many great tutorials on Youtube from so many great people who are so talented...don't forget to subscibe to them as well to get more videos from them. Here is the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lj6vVXu3FOw

If anyone gives it try, don't forget to send me a pic.




Sweet and Simple

Hey,
   This is a designed I did on my moms nails. My mom wanted something simple and not too busy so we gave this tutorial a try and she loved it, as did I. You'll notice that I changed it up a bit for my mom because I didn't have all the propper colors and tools.
  
Here is the Youtube tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdi51V_9LZc

Hope you like it. Give it a try and send me a pic, I would love to see the pics from you all. If you see anything I can improve on, please comment, whether it be pertaining to my blog or my nail art ;)



Pink Camo

Hey Guys,
This one was inspired by my dad first of all, he's a hunter and loves his camo. There are so many tutorial on camo and they are all so easy so I will just pick one at random and post it for you all incase you would like to watch it as you go. And obviously you don't have to go with a  pink camo...
Here is the Youtube tutorial:

Hope you enjoy it and don't forget to comment :)



Angry Birds

Hey Friends,
   Well this is buy far my favorite. If there is someone seeing this and you have no idea who Angry Birds are, shame on you...lol
   I am really proud on how this one turned out. I never in a million years would have thought it was going to turn out this good (if I may toot my own horn :) As far as detail and what I used, I didn't use any scotch tape or stickers, everything is freehand with the stylus or nail polish brush and for the very tiny details I used a stylus and stripers.
   Here is the Youtube tutorial that inpired me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEGL-W22sgs

    I hope you all like it. Give it a try yourself and send me you pic, I would love to see them. You might surprise yourself like I did ;)





Bubbly

Back again,
   This is my second attempt at nail art but the picture is a little bit blurry (sorry about that). I call it Bubbly...go figure right? I don't really have a particular tutorial from Youtube that inspired me, I just kind of went with it and this is the end result...
   All the detail (bubbles) were done with a stylus and my slanted french tips were done with scotch tape. Remember, if you use scotch tape and you get residue when you lift the tape, you can just use a Qtip and water to clean that off.
   This one was really cute and will be a great design for summer. Don't forget to comment, all comments are welcome (good and bad). I'm always looking to improve so don't hold back...:)


Hello Kitty

Hey Everyone
   Here is my very first attempt at nail art. I did this one for my 5 year old daughter. She LOVES Hello Kitty. I used this tutorial and just changed a few things:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpV0_pEtMeI
   I mixed it up a little to make my own version by giving myself a french manicure first using scotch tape (if the tape leaves a resedue, just use a Qtip and water to remove it from your nail)I only put Hello Kitty on my thumb since it's my biggest nail. All the dots and the detail on Hello Kitty were done by a stylus. If you don't own a stylus, you can use just random things around your house like, a bobby pin, ball point pen, toothpick, etc...


  
Hope you all like it...please feel free to comment so I know what is good and what I can improve on:)
