Prom!

I took this one the trolley on the way to prom because I did my date's nails on the way to prom. Her dress was a blue ombre that faded to black at the bottom so my nails matched her dress, with a base of Spoiled Navy and Nina Ultra Pro Black sponged on with a tissue. Her nails were equally simple. I used a base of Revlon Nude and then used Milani FX Silver and Milani FX Gold to create an extra sparkly look, like my dress. (This picture was taken over our dresses, so you can see how they match.) Both looks had a coat of Seche Vite.

In a Galaxy Far, Far Away...

My take on the galaxy nail trend! I began with a base of Savvy Deja Blue. I used a tissue to sponge on colors to create each nebula. I used Nina Ultra Pro Like Butta, Ruby Kisses Neon Orange, Ruby Kisses Neon Green, and Sally Hansen Blue Me Away. I couldn't find my dotter tool and my nails were way too wet to go scouring my house for a toothpick so I thought a brush would be fine for dotting on the stars. I was wrong. I found the dots to be entirely too large (I used China Glaze White on White by the way). I topped it with Warpaint Beauty Glow Turq, which glows in the dark and is sparkly and super awesome. I finished off my design with Seche Vite.

Painterly

I'm not sure what to call this technique. I started with a base of Nina Ultra Pro Black then painted layers of color over top: Nina Ultra Pro Like Butta, Ulta Capri Coral, Ruby Kisses Neon Green, and Sally Purple. I finished with another coat of Nina Ultra Pro Black. I let this all dry then I took a paintbrush dipped in nail polish remover and brushed toward the tip of my nail repeatedly. After allowing the polish to corrode to my liking, I topped it off with Seche Vite.

Glitz and Glamour

Simple design. I used a base of Nina Ultra Pro Black and added Milani Jewel FX in Gold around the cuticle with a toothpick. Topped it with Seche Vite as always.

Eye Candy

I absoluely love eyeballs. I once made a self portrait entirely out of eyeballs. I could draw eyes all day, they fascinate me. For this look, I started out with a base of Seche Retain. My thumb is based off of a really cool sketch I did in ink pen a couple weeks ago when I was sick. It's the side view of an eyeball being ripped away. To crate this I simply painted my nail with a base of Sally Hansen Cement and used Sally Hansen Black for the drawing. My index, middle, and little fingers all have a base of Orly Le Chateau, which is a very dark green that is almost black. It is absolutely gorgeous in the sunlight. Anyway, my pointer finger, with the cat eye, was created by making a circle with Spa Ritual Delight and then filling in the circle with Art Deco Bright Green. I used a very small amount of Nina Like Butta to emphasize the catlike appearance. I then used Sally Hansen Black to create the pupil. My middle finger is pretty straight forward using China Glaze White on White, Orly Red Haute, and Nina Black. My ring finger has a base of China Glaze White on White with a dot of Sally Hansen Marine Scene and Nina Black. Veins done in Orly Red Haute. Lastly, my little finger has the same colors as my middle finger. AndI finished with two coats of Seche Vite
