A Little "Peace" of Me

This manicure was kind of random, but it sort of showcases a bit of me.


The pinkie is a watercolour effect using Watermelon from Essie, Sunkissed from Sally Hansen, Lime Up! From Essence and You Belong to Me from Essence on base of White On from Sally Hansen. Then I added a black french tip with acrylic. My ring finger has a base of Black Satin from Rimmel, and the writing is in acrylic. The middle finger is a peace sign, with a watercolour effect again. The peace sign is black acrylic. My pointer finger is chevrons with a base of White On and black acrylic. Finally, my thumb (not pictured), was a simple half moon mani in black with the watercolour effect for the base.

So, this manicure sort of represents me for a few reasons. First of all, I think I'm pretty colourful and creative. Next, I absolutely ADORE rock and roll. It's my favourite type of music. And I'm all for peace, which goes along with the whole idea of rock and roll. :)

Hope you guys enjoy!

Change is Good

After four years of having my nails squared off, I decided I needed a change.




That's right. I rounded off my nails. It's becoming a huge trend again to have rounded, or almond shaped nails. The more I see them, the more I like the look. Not to mention, it's an absolutely classic Hollywood look (check out Audrey Hepburn's nails if you don't believe me). Once they grow a little longer, I think I might go for a bit more of an almond shape. What do you guys think? Square or rounded? 

P.S.  The gradient manicure is done using Skyfall (one of the polishes I won) from OPI and Black Satin from Rimmel.

Cinderella's Castle... Again

So, I posted the below design forever ago (two summers ago to be exact), and I've been noticing it on the internet again lately. I hadn't put a water mark on it, so it's basically gotten everywhere without people knowing it's my design.


What I'm asking of you guys as my awesome readers is, could you let me know if you see this photo somewhere without my watermark? Or could you let whoever posted it know the link for my blog? The same goes for any other artist. This way we can make sure those who deserve the credit, get the credit. :) Thanks guys!

Comic Book Love

I've got another Valentine's design for you guys. This time, it's inspired by vintage comic books and pop art.


1. Start with your base colours. Go for pastels or pinks/reds since it's Valentine's. I used (from left to right) Pink Lingerie from Revlon, Mellow Yellow from Sally Hansen, Mint Sorbet from Sally Hansen and Blue-Away from Sally Hansen.

2. Tape out the "explosion" using triangles of scotch tape. You can do this for all the nails, but I only did an accent finger. Paint this in with white. I used White On from Sally Hansen.

3. While the white dries, use a toothpick to make tiny polka dots on the other nails. 

4. And now you have your white explosion. If you haven't already, remove the tape. Clean up any mistakes. 

5. Outline the explosion in black. I used acrylic for this.

6. Using the toothpick again, make white polka dots on the nail with the explosion.

7. Finally, write something in the explosion using black. I chose "XOXO", since it's love themed.

You guys can use this tutorial for any time of year.
