Tribal Nails

Hello there! Today, I have a manicure that I wanted to try for a long time and had chance to do a couple of months ago. I believe almost every nail artist (is there such a term?) done tribal nails at least once in their life. It was quite a challenge for me, all those stripes and dots took longer time than they normally should have, but the end result was worth it. 

 I wore this mani for a couple of days before taking pictures of it, so ignore the wearing on the tips.

The base color, purple, is Pastel 309. The rest is painted with acrylic paints and brushes.
Hopefully, you'll enjoy it as much as I did! :)

Will you be my Valentine?

I am such a lazy blogger.  I did this manicure before Valentine's Day and I am posting it right now. It is the exact same manicure that Rina did here, only colors are different. I think you can understand that I love recreating Rina's nail art. I was in love with the way it looked on my hands and felt bad cleaning it because of school.

Here is my left hand, a little bit lighter colors since the paint dried until I passed to the other hand.



Also, I took all these pictures (except the first one) with my sister's professional machine. Aren't they lovely, life became more clearer with these pictures :D I did these using acyrlics and they were real fun to do. Just a bit of patience I believe anyone can do this.

I hope you like it. :)

Day 6 - Santa + Christmas Tree + Ralphie

And finally a wrap on this challenge! Santa on my thumb is from Simply Rins' Santa and Rudolf Nail Art . Do I need to mention that I love her designs? I mean you can easily understand that from my posts. The bell was inspired by someone's nail art but I just can't remember whose. I'm sorry, let me know if you know who. And Rudolf is also by Rins, which got featured in one of my previous posts.

 My favorite was Santa, and to be honest, this design is not my favorite so far.

 And here is my right hand. This polish is the gorgeous Going Incognito - Essie. :)

 Hooray for loooots of presents. :)

And this is my horrible Ralphie, I failed this so bad, I didn't even want to post this, but to give you proof, here it is.

Again, all of these designs were made with acrylic paints, free-handed. Hope you'll like it. :)

Day 3 - Gift Wrapping and Rudolf the Reindeer

This week we set our Christmas tree (though we don't celebrate Christmas, it is for New Year's Eve), and I felt like the time for gifts is getting closer! YAY! So I decided to have gift wrappings on my nails and remembered that Simply Rins had a reindeer design and a tutorial. Therefore, I had to have a Rudolf too. Here is this weekend's nails. :)

 My index finger turned out really complicated, I didn't like it.

 I thought that my thumb turned out the prettiest, I liked it a lot. :)

And here is my right hand, I didn't want to try so hard on it so I just painted them like shiny wrappings' colors. :)

 Here is our tree and my gifts. :) Hopefully, there will be lots of gifts right where my fingers are in the left top photo. :)

 Yes, this is my extremely pink room and computer, I decided to make a difference this week and took a picture of the polishes I used.

I used Essie - Watermelon and Pastel - 31 for my thumb, Pastel - 52 and Sephora - 51/Leather Boots for index, Pastel - 74 for middle finger, Flormar's white and acrylic paints for ring finger, Pastel - 37 for pinky, plus Flormar Nail Art white and gold and Flormar - 003 on top on all of them.

I hope you'll like it. :)
