Simple skull accents, plus my v-day mani.

Helloooo everyone! As you can see, I have iiiitty bitty stumps right now.. I put acrylics on myself for v-day, and after I removed them I trimmed my nails down as short as I could, because I wanted some new growth, and because they were a little thin. It's easier for me to work with short nails, anyways. They looked a little sad, so I slapped on some Revlon "Facets of Fuchsia" and some little skull accents for fun.

These are what they looked like before I took my acrylics off.. sparkly sparkly, haha. I don't do many acrylics on my clients, so I like playing around on myself sometimes.

Glitter, flowers, rhinestones.. can I get more girly?

Hey guys? How's it going? I'm back from Atlanta, which.. wasn't as much fun as I was hoping, sadly. Eh. You win some, you lose some, right?

I whipped these out before I left and they held up fairly well over the trip, since I used OPI Axxium gel polish. I've really been digging the hand placed glitter over nude nails lately. I also threw in some acrylic sculpting just for practice. Not bad. Not my greatest, but not bad. I just took them off yesterday because my pink hair was turning them.. well, pink. I cut them down pretty short. Bye-bye talons!

My birthday was on the 3rd and that was.. lame. Stuck in an airport because our flight was delayed, yay. -_- Then I got wicked cramps that only let up today. I feel like I deserve a do-over for that entire week, lol. Hope everyone had a great week, it had to have been better than mine!

White on black lace tips

Hey guys! Simple junk. My nails broke right before I had to go to a wedding last saturday, so I went ahead and put acrylics on myself. Not a fan of acrylics, but they did the job and I thought they looked pretty nice. These are black tips with white lace inlaid in the acrylic. A little subtle for me. I loved the shape.. though I couldn't do anything since they were so long, haha.

Ugh.. I got in a terrible accident on thursday, the day after I put these on. It was really, really bad.. lucky I'm alive bad. I have some nasty bruises, bad back problem, and of course, I hurt my hand. It's getting better, but it hurts if I use too much pressure so I can't grasp things properly. It's been rough since I can't do nails, which, you know.. main source of income. It's been getting better, so hopefully by the end of this week I'll be able to work properly again. You never really appreciate your thumb until you can't use it, you know..

Red rose nails.. rawr.

Hey guys! Tonight was my school's fashion show.. the theme was Grimm's Fairytales. One of students was doing Rose Red for a model, and asked me to do the nails for it. It was really fun! It was neat to play around with extreme length and acrylic sculpting.. they're just fake nails that I extended with long tips, blended, painted, then sculpted over with acrylic for the roses. That ring is one of my polish rings I made, too.

We didn't place, but it was still fun. They seemed to be a hit at the show with everyone who saw them. Can't wait to play around more!
