Blue and white china design, take.. 3?

Hi guys! First off, sorry for not being around much.. having a lot of drama at school. :/ Wish I could go into it but I can't. Second.. I don't know why this picture uploaded like that, because it sure as hell wasn't saved that way but I can't fix it! Edit: HA I FIXED IT.

Anyway.. yet another blue/white china design. I do these a lot. This one is slightly messy and quick because I was tired. I still love the bright, clean combo of colors though.

This is probably going to be my last nail art for awhile.. I had to get acrylics put on by another student. :( I hate them. They're so thick and weird and blargh. I want my poor natural nails back. They're coming off as soon as a graduate in a few weeks.

Madeline Poole inspired nails

Hey guys! Something simple today. I've been in love with the framed nail look ever since I saw it on Madeline Poole's blog. I've done it a few times already and I always love it. It's very mod.  I just wish I could get my lines looking as clean as hers.. lol.

Polishes:

Essie, Lilacism

OPI, DS Mystery

My nails are in such a shitty state right now, especially my cuticles, so I apologize for that. School has been hard on them.  Hopefully I can nurse them back to health, but I'm not holding my breath.

Black/neutral tribal-y design

Hi guys! Just something simple for this weekend.. I haven't had a whole lot of time to do nail art. It always gets wrecked at school anyway, so there's not a point to doing my nails much, lol. I'm sorry I haven't been updating much, but I've been busy.

Colors:
Essie, Sand Tropez
Milani, Black Magic

School's been going pretty good.. I started acrylics this week! Already did two full sets and a fill. I'm not half bad at them, apparently. I'm going to learn gels really soon, I think.. I'm getting shoved right in the deep end, haha. Wish me luck! If I stay on schedule I should graduate mid/end of April. So close.. almost too close..

Louboutin inspired nails

Hi guys! Firstly, I'm happy to announce I didn't have to get fake nails put on yet.. whew. It's coming soon, though. Ick. I've been enjoying my natural nails while I still can.

Anyway.. I've been obsessed with the jewel-encrusted Louboutin's ever since I saw them years ago. They are stunning. I thought I'd try to translate them onto nails, but it didn't turn out too great.. bah. I didn't have the right color rhinestones, I'm running out of them. They aren't horrible, but they aren't ideal. I'm still gonna wear them just because I'm lazy. The undersides of my free edge are painted red, too, which is why they look dirty in the pictures, lol.

Polishes used:
Revlon, Royal

Pink elephants

I'm not a huge fan of these.. I whipped them out super quick in a rush for the weekend, but I ended up not liking the placement, and the plain-ness. I added some rainbow glitter, but even then.. blargh. I took these off after the pics. The elephants are kinda cute, though. I will probably redo this with a different placement/pattern style when I'm not so tired/rushed.

Polish used:
Sinful Colors, Black on Black
Milani, Gems FX
Acrylic paints

I'm wearing plain polish instead.. Essie's Lilacism with Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure over it, one of my favorite combos. Looks like an opal! I needed a break from dark colors, I think.

School's going well.. I've learned regular mani's/pedi's plus spa mani's/pedi's so far, and I got a 95 on my horrible anatomy test tonight. I'm going to start working on the floor taking client's soon.. scary, lol.

Well, as always, thanks for reading, guys! See ya next time.

Bright little owls

Hi guys! Tonight's nails were inspired by the always flawless and awesome SuPa Nails whom I've always envied. Seriously, so much jealousy. I wish I was half that good with designs.

Anway.. I love owls so much. Barn owls are my favorite animal. It's been a while since I've done an owl design, so I thought heck, why not. I was going to do them all my fingers, but I got lazy and my back started hurting soooo.. just two, lol.

Polishes:
Sinful Colors, Black on Black
Acrylic paints

Peacock-y pattern

Hello everyone! I'm still alive, don't worry. Been busy with school and such.. it's pretty cool so far. Lots of practicing and stuff to learn, but I'm enjoying it! I hope everyone had a lovely holiday.

I haven't really had time or the energy to do my nails, but I decided to try something relatively simple for tonight.  I wanted to practice patterns.. this is modified from a fabric pattern I found online. I thought it looked kinda peacock-y. Not bad considering I haven't been doing much nail art.

Colors:
Sally Hansen, Fairy Teal / Mint Sprint
Nicole by OPI, My Lifesaver / Loyalty to Royalty
China Glaze, Classic Camel
