Ok, here’s a tiny confession about me. I absolutely adore birds and the scarlet macaw is one of my favorites. All the colors and the brightness and beautifulness of these birds mesmerizes me and I love them. I had never actually tried to make one on my nails but I’m pleased on how it turned out and since it’s our national bird, why not take the opportunity to make one?
Very rarely am I excited to brag about having done french tips on my nails, but I’m happy on several things in this photo.
Well, well well.. look who’s back on my nails…
(and not the last time I’ll ever have him either!)
I’ve had this picture on my desktop ready to make the design for a while now and I finally got down to try and make it.
David Bowie has been a source of inspiration for most of this year, and it seemed fitting to do one of his suits on my nails because his first grandson was born on July 10th!
Congratulations to his son Duncan Jones and to Bowie himself!
When I was little, I used to watch “I dream of Jeannie” all the time, but it is only until now that I’ve had the pleasure of binging the entire show (I’m on season 3 right now). I absolutely loved the character and loved the chemistry between Tony and Jeannie.
I do agree with Larry Hagman (Major Anthony Nelson), Barbara Eden (Jeannie) and Bill Daily (Major Roger Healey) that marrying Tony and Jeannie killed the series but I still enjoy it very dearly. It is why I had to recreate some of the intro images on my nails.
Lovely series!
YAY! Today is my birthday and of course I had to have special nails for today.
I wanted to have something summer themed and what a better summer fruit than watermelon slices? This design is so easy to do but due to the very curved shape of my nails, the green/white lines aren’t as visible so I had to make them thicker. Still, it looks very “summer-y” and I like it very much 🙂
Happy Birthday to Meeee!
Sometimes you just gotta catch them all!
In case you didn’t “catch” it from the photo, I’m team blue 😉
These are not stamps. I literally took the time to actually draw these and it took so long!
I knew that I wasn’t going to be able to do this directly on my nails without failing before, so I took the safe route and drew them over nail polish on this rubber mat by MyBlissKiss. It took me 5 tries before I was actually able to do the cross bones with stars pattern, even using a tiny brush to do this made it so hard!
It was very difficult to create which is why I added a black/white gradient to the other nails to vary the design.
Also, I cut my nails before doing this design, and the entire “flipping” hand didn’t fit on my thumb, which is why it was a bit cut off on top. That’s why I’m including the original drawing so you can see the entire “middle finger up” like Beyoncé likes to sing now.
Gravity Falls is the best cartoon series I’ve watched in a really long time! It’s got mystery, gnomes, zombie boyfriends, a mysterious 3 journal, and of course happy Mabel!
It just ended this year and I binged it completely because I had to catch up with it and I’m glad I did! They story starts out sweet and then everything is upside down!!
I managed to shoot the making of Dipper, Mabel and the logo nails and you can watch that on Youtube right here:
Like David Bowie said: “I’m a Blackstar ★, I’m a Blackstar ★”
Well, if you don’t know by now that I’m a David Bowie fan, you need to know it. I love his music so much, Let’s Dance, Blackstar, Lazarus, Modern Love, Jump They Say, Ashes to Ashes, Space Oddity, Young Americans, Heroes, Life on Mars, Dance Magic, so many songs with so much meaning.
So when I asked my boyfriend to do my nails, he settled on Bowie’s latest and final album “Blackstar ★”. Needless to say, when he did mine, they could have been a little better but I know there was a lot of love in these nails!!
So since he did mine, I did his haha. They are a tiny bit tidier!
