Tutorial One

1. Start with a gradient french, or classic french manicure. I used a gradient french, since I am sort of over classic french manicures and find them boring. I used White On from Sally Hansen and French Rose from Rimmel, both of which I sponged on.

2. Taking your choice of colour of nail polish or acrylic paint, make a heart about midway through the nail, then drag the tip of the heart down to the tip of the nail.

3. Repeat step 2. until you have the desired amount of hearts you'd like.

Tutorial Two

1.Start with a gradient french, or classic french manicure.

2. Using a dotting tool, make five dots in the corner of your nail. Using a paintbrush, tooth pick or pen, drag out the dots to a point to create petals. I used black acrylic for this.

3. Finally, using a different colour, make a dot for the center of the flower. Also, make a dot between two petals and drag it to a point to create a leaf. Repeat for as many leafs as you would like. I used silver acrylic for this.

If you ask me, I like the hearts the best, but I love the flower too!

Hope you guys like these as well!

So it was supposed to be CSI week in my bio class (we basically apply our knowledge of genetics to solve a fake murder), but someone...*cough*... my teacher :p... messed up on the dates. Anyways, in honour of the supposed to be happening CSI week I painted my nails. Here's my Manicure Monday mani.

On Friday I went on what I think will be my last ever high school trip. We went to the Metro Toronto Zoo (for biology). It was super fun, and of course I painted my nails for it.

Hey guys! Sorry I missed posting on Monday, but I think this design was worth the wait. I've been planning it for a while, but I ran out of white polish and needed a new tiny paint brush. I finally got both (a new bottle of White On from Sally Hansen and an 18/0 brush from La Corneille that I bought at Michael's) and so I figured it was time for this design. But I must warn you, I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.

I know, I know. The title for this post is a bad pun, but I couldn't resist. Anyways, time for nail art.



Seeing as it's Easter time, I figured it was a good time to paint Thumper from Bambi. The base is Mint Sorbet from Sally Hansen and Thumper is all acrylic.

Happy Easter!

Hey guys. I feel so bad lately. I'm barely painting my nails and blogging, so I am now promising to bring a bunch of new designs and tutorials to you guys starting today. So, without further ado, the nail art.


It's a more summery design, which I seriously needed, since winter has been hitting hard in Ontario lately. My bright design just made me think of the summer (and spring!) that are sort of almost here. :p Anyways, the orange is Sunkissed from Sally Hansen, and the green is Lime Up! from Essence. The dots are Ogre-the-Top Blue from OPI and white acrylic. I used a striper brush to make the pink lines, which is Watermelon from Essie, and then a yellow striper from Stripe Rite.

What do you guys think? Is this a good summer design? And while I'm blogging, I may as well ask. Any spring or Easter tutorials you guys would like to see? Let me know!

If the title didn't clue you in, today's manicure is a pirate treasure map.


I started with a base of White On from Sally Hansen. Then I sponged on Bare Necessity from Avon with a makeup sponge, and at the tips and around the edges I sponged with a bit of brown acrylic. The map design is done in brown and black acrylic. Also, to get the lines seen on a few of the nails (thumb, ring finger, pinkie), I dipped some thread into a bit of brown paint, then pressed it onto the nails.

Hope you guys like it!

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