Democrats Vs. Republicans

Hello,

How is everyone doing? Tomorrow is a very important day for the people in United States. I really hope that those of you who are eligible to vote will vote. I do not care which party you choose but please vote. I will be voting as well but I won't disclose my preference (drama free zone). I am also volunteering to be a poll worker and good news is that I am stationed at a Fire Station (Super Hot Firemen :D). The only downside in that I will be there from 6 in the morning till 9 at night.

For this, I applied 2 costs of Essie Blanc. On accent finger, I made a Democrat sign using Primary Red and Deep Ultra Blue and for the white dots I used .015" white hex glitters. Using the same colors I drew the Republican sign on my middle finger. On the remaining fingers and thumb I drew stripes using the Red acrylic paint and on top of the one-third of the nail I used blue acrylic paint and applied silver holographic stars. 

Secret Ingredient

Hello,

How is everyone doing? I have heard a lot of people using eyeshadows or micas in their nail art or frankens. This is my first time using an eyeshadow for any nail art so I wanted to keep the use of eyeshadow to the minimal. I really like how this mani turned out. The eyeshadow looks so smooth, it seems like I have applied golden nail polish. I hope you guys give it a try too as the process is very easy.

For this, I applied one coat of Zoya Sabrina. On the tips, I applied Best Glue Ever which I thinned down with water to almost 30-40% as it is easy to apply when thinned down. After the glue dried (it becomes transparent) I applied the L.A. Colors bronze eyeshadow with the help of the fan brush. I light rubbed the eyeshadow on the glue to get the smooth finish. Then, I applied fimo flower on my accent nail and drew some leaves using Holly Green acrylic paint. 

Fierce Red Tips

Hello,

Today I have another nail foil mani. I like how the foils can transform your simple mani into something so gorgeous. I love the tips so much in this mani that I might do more looks like this in the future. Click here if you want to check my last post on nail foils.

For this, I applied one coat of Zoya Bela. After it dried, I made a french tip using Essie Fishnet Stocking. Then using a Konad image plate M25 and RA 118 (picture of the plates at bottom) I stamped the roses using Sally Hansen Insta Dri Rapid Red and drew some leaves using Holly Green acrylic paint. On the tips, I applied Best Glue Ever which I thinned down with water to almost 30-40% as it is easy to apply when thinned down. After the glue dried (it becomes transparent) I applied the metallic red nail foil. Then using a Q-tip I rubbed over the foil so that it attaches itself properly. After that I applied Wet N Wild top coat because for some reason fast drying top coat does not work well with the foils, at least not for me. In the end I applied Seche Vite top coat on all the fingers.

Black and White Challenge Day 6

Hello,

This is my sixth post for the Black and White Nail Challenge. The theme for today's nails was to create a manicure using a color base with something white. I am not feeling well today so I settled with a stamping manicure and I like how it turned out.

For this, I applied 2 coats of OPI I'll Take The cake. Then using the Shany (2012) image plate SH21 I stamped the design on all the fingers using Konad white stamping polish. After it dried I made a french tip using Essie Blanc. Then applied purple glitters along the french tip.

Flakies on Tips!

Hello,

I was so happy when Finger Paints released its Special Effects Collection. Before it was really hard to get your hands on flakies at a reasonable price. I made a couple of trips to Sally's Beauty Supply to get my hands on this particular effect called Twisted. It is a mix of all different kind of flakies and I would call it a rainbow effect.

For this, I applied 2 coats of Zoya Raven which is a metallic/cream finish. To give it a matte look I applied a coat of China Glaze Matte Magic. After it dried I applied Finger Paints Twisted on my tips. This mani looks really cool in person but it does not last long like a regular mani. My mani started to chip at the end of second day.
