Yes, I'm back with a quickie tutorial. So sorry for the long break! This semester is killing me!
Bloody fingers! I remember reading that short story back in elementary school... But this is an awesome nail tutorial that you can do for Halloween, and even mix and match colors for a messy neon effect.
It's very very simple to get a nail look like this, even without the swirls.
All you have to do is paint half of your nail one color with as straight of a line as possible, then once it's dry, paint the other side. If you have a sloppy line, take a Sharpie or a nail pen and draw a line on top of the middle of the colors to make it look polished.
Good luck! I hope this gives you a fun, new nail idea. :)
Above is a small compilation of some of McQueens runways, including the models who look like they're flying, one of my favorites.
First of all, I want to start this post off with saying that I am not a keen follower of high end fashion designers. Do I love runway shows and high end fashion? Of course! But this growing love of mine for fashion just blossomed recently. Therefore, I never really did find the time or intrigue to discover Alexander McQueen.
McQueen is one of the most well known fashion designers on the planet, and his work is suited for on and off the runway. It's hard to describe his collections because what I saw tonight literally left me just... speechless.
I haven't posted any photos of nails in a long time! Lately I've just been obsessed with my crackle polish, but I wanted to try a different look.
I used a matte white nail polish, then using Sally Hanson Nail Art Pens in black and pink, I drew the flower and polka dots. Doing it on the right hand was quite the challenge (had to redo my thumb twice!) but practice always makes perfect.
When doing polka dots, a random pattern is fine and all, but I feel that doing it in organized rows (going in between each other, if that makes sense?) looks more polished and chic.
What are you guys doing with your nails these days? I would love some more ideas!
Today, I headed out to Ulta and I of course had to get the latest thing nail fanatics have been talking about: China Glaze's Crackle Glaze. I remember when I was little, growing up in the 90's, and my cousin having the crackle nail polish that she loved!
Now, it's back, and it's awesome! See the review w/ pics after the jump.
Just did my nails! :). Ignore the fabulous double-sided hangnail I got going on. #sigh... And yes, I know my hands and fingers are extremely little!
I used: Revlon "White on White French Tip" and China Glaze "Rainbow"
You probably can't tell from the picture, but the Rainbow is soooo pretty as a top coat. It's got hints of purples, blues, greens, pinks... A good way to princess up a plain french tip. :)
