Week 37: "We Remember" Manicure

I know that 9/11 is a very tragic memory for many in the US and around the world. I did not want to do a manicure portraying what happened because there is no way I could have honored the innocent victims of such date with my nails. I am sorry, that's why I am posting this.
I remember that in 2001, I did not like red polish. In fact, I hated nail polish because my application and finish was too messy. Yeah, I was really young and careless about my nails. So today I have an improved picture of the manicure I wish I could have 11 years ago.
I used Sation Class Flirt with plate B65 using Konad White and acrylic paint for the dots.
Ésta manicura no tiene mucho que ver con los incidentes del 9/11, siento que unas uñas no logran honorar a las víctimas de esos atentados de ninguna manera. Siento mucho tomarlo de ésta manera, pero es la forma en la que pienso.

Hello :)
So a couple of weeks ago I was invited by Dazzle-Dry Nail Polish to enter their Facebook "Wedding Belles" Contest for which a wedding manicure was required. So here is a snapshot of my entry plus more pictures :)

Week 10: Polka Dots Manicure

For this manicure, I used the color 'Red Orange' from Nabi and I stamped using Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in 'Silver Sweep'. The bows are from Konad m3 and I did the dots with a dotting tool. Gotta go study...

Week 5: Newspaper Nails

Hey :)
Here are the nails I came up with for this week. They are my first attempt at newsprint nails. For this design I used black and white base nail polishes, the small red hearts are from the plate Konad m3 with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Rapid Red and the other stamp is from the plate SE20.

Konad: French Stars

您好

Welcome back!

After my crackle polish experiment (link here) I had to do my nails once again. Ever since I have been growing them, I do not like to see them bare, I feel like there is no point on doing that.

Bienvenid@as nuevamente! 

Después de mi experimento con esmaltes crackle (enlace aquí) tuve que arreglar mis uñas otra vez. Desde que he dejado crecer mis uñas no me gusta verlas sin esmalte, siento que no tiene chiste hacer eso.

Products used:

Productos utilizados:

• Glass Pink by Sinful Colors 
• White Tip by Sally Hansen
• Black Créme by Wet n Wild
• Konad White Special Polish 
• Konad m3 plate (I got this picture from a website, it is not mine)

1. Apply 1 coat of a light pink (Glass Pink)
Aplica 1 capa de un rosado pálido (Glass Pink)

2. Do a French tip with the color(s) of your choice (White Tip and Black Créme)
Haz un francés con color(es) de tu preferencia (White Tip y Black Créme)

3. Stamp over the tip with one of the designs on the plate. I used the Konad polish in white but for the black stars, I used the nail polish from WnW which worked fine.
Coloca un sello sobre el francés que hiciste. Yo usé el esmalte blanco de Konad pero para las estrellas negras, utilicé el negro de WnW el cual funcionó bien.

4. Apply a top coat. The end.
Aplica un protector. Y ya!

xoxo,
