Day 334) Nail art winter love

Yes, another winter nail art.

This time about winter love.

I was inspired by this image:

 

 



 

Day 291) Nail art elephants

In preparation for the coming Carnival/Mardi Gras we have the theme "Circus".
I had to think about a row of elephants holding each other by the tail.
So I decided to translate this to a nail art.
Four elephants getting smaller on each nail, holding each other by the tail with their trunk.
After painting these I decided the top of the nails needed something as well...so the first elephant is blowing hearts with the trunk all over the other nails.
I'm not really good at painting animals (elephants) so forgive my weird looking elephants hahaha...
it's all about the cuteness of the design ;D

Day 229) Tutorial video fan brush design and stitched looking nails

Sorry for the late update!
After my INAD nails I've been asked to write a guest post for Salon Fanatic
Super of course but it had to include a tutorial for the stitching part.
Now, up front, after my slideshow and a bad video tutorial about the Essence magnet pen I consider this as my first serious YouTube tutorial...
Still not quite there because I had to film with my smartphone and without a tripod so you can imagine this isn't easy.
Also editing and things like that aren't really my thing yet.

But I hope you like it!

And here is today's nail art:

 

Day 217) Nail art love birds

Starting with another swatch again:

 

Claire's - Product code 55164 Pink Glitter 

 

 

 

This sweet polish needs a sweet nail art right?!

 

I found this image of sweet little love birds which was just perfect for today's nail art.

 

 

Day 151) Nail art Graffiti

When I was a teenager my wish was to master the art of graffiti.
I was always jealous of the people who could do those awesome graffiti letters.
And I too wanted to secretly paint some graffiti on a wall.
It never happened...
I can still appreciate the art of graffiti, especially the big colorful drawings. Those really color the world!

For today's nail art I tried to translate a graffiti to my nails.
I've used an image for example because I'm still not good at painting graffiti.

Here is the image I've used:

And this is the nail art I've done:

I really like them! Do you?

See you tomorrow. I will announce the winner of my 'remake' give-away!

Day 146) Sparkling love

Today I was looking at some wallpapers for my new laptop.
I think I am in desperate need of some nice weather because I could only look at colorful wallpapers with a lot of neons.
In my search for the 'perfect' wallpaper I found this image:

Not 'perfect' for me as a wallpaper, but it is 'perfect' for today's nail art.
I didn't want to make an exact copy. So I gave it my own touch.

1) As base colour I used a dark blue, sparkling nail polish
Maybelline Forever Strong Pro - 650 Midnight Blue
2) Then I made the outer lines of the hands with a striper brush. I used a neon pink and neon green for this.
3) Because I wanted to paint the heart neon yellow. I had to make a white heart first (My neon yellow is very watery and doesn't show that well on darker backgrounds).
4) From the hands I started to paint some kind of laser beam. I used a sparkly purple nail polish for this.
5) I gave the heart it's neon yellow colour and added some gold fine glitter. Still the heart wasn't oustanding enough (in my opinion). I chose to give it a base colour (dark blue) outline.
6) For the thumb and pinky I simply applied some glitter.

Some sparkling love for my dear followers!
Thank you!
