Phantom of the Opera Nails! Being a huge, HUGE phan, I knew I had to do this one day!

To create this design I started of with a base coat and topped that off with my base color - a  glossy black with subtle red glitter (not visible in the photos, but can be seen in the sunlight!) which is actually called “Phantom”(which is partially why I bought that polish in the first place, hehe) The polish is from a brand called “Material Girl” that is available at Macy’s.

The music note and piano I stamped using plate m73 and konad special white.

I used a detail brush, dotting tool and white polish to freehand the mask on my left ring finger.

The rose on my right ring finger is a nail decal. The rose was white so I used a dotting tool to cover it with the red glitter polish which is “Ruby Pumps” by China Glaze.

Love the final result, I’m so happy (^)_^ 

Hey everyone! Today I made a design on my nails which is a coming summer nail trend: Border nails! I’ve seen this pop up on online
So SO incredibly happy with how these turned out!
I used Milani Rapid Cherry for the border,
China Glaze First Mate for the inner color
I decided to accent the red border on my ring finger by making the border out of red 1mm nail gems and I think it looks So cute :)

Hey there! So today I wanted to share a look that I created which was inspired by the TARDIS, an object in one of my favorite tv series:Doctor Who. To be more specific, it is inspired by a short I won which features the TARDIS - the middle picture shows me wearing the shirt. I apologize because it is a bit blurry.

I am really happy with the way this look turned out, and even if you don’t know what the TARDIS or Doctor Who is, I still think it is a pretty and fun look anyone can try! I was so happy with it I even created a tutorial. If you are interested in watching that the tutorial can be found here: http://youtu.be/FJtx7HkEFFc

I also included some pictures of the nail polish I was wearing the first time I wore this look because it reminded me very much of Amy, one of the Doctor’s companions who always has the neatest nail polish colors on! This polish is O.P.I’s “Red Lights Ahead….Where? from the Holland Collection.

Hope you like!

This is a swatch of a dark red gloss from femme couture. The color is raisin. This gloss, as far as I know, is found only at Sally Beauty supply. I think the gloss feels really nice on the lips, and the color is good, but it is definitely the kind of gloss you want to wear over some sort of lipstick or tinted lip balm because since it is dark, it is much more noticeable when the color separates due to the formula being liquidy. 

I think overall that would be the only thing I didn’t like. I like the gloss itself and with light or clear colors it shouldn’t be a problem, but since it is such a dark color it looks kinda bad on its own.

Hey everyone! Although it is a bit late, I wanted to post these pictures of a cute valentine’s day design you can do on your nails to spice up your look! I hope some of you can use the design this coming weekend if you are celebrating since this year we got the day right in the middle of the week. I actually had to dig through my e-albums to find these photos as I came up with this design a few years back, but I thought it would be fun to post for today!

Keep in mind that you can use this cute and girly design any time of the year too!! Especially if you switch up colors. I am a firm believer that tutorials and pictures are simply idea givers and we can turn anything into something completely new by adding our own twist, so feel free to modify to your liking! Just to show what I mean, I uploaded a picture of a variation I did on the same design.

I am including a link to a tutorial I recorded for this, but please excuse the not so great quality as it was waay back, when I had not too much experience filming my nails and had an old camera. However, I hope it can give you a good idea of what I did.
