My First Half-Moon Manicure

Hello!
I attempted a half moon manicure for the first time today. I really like the outcome and I hope you do too.
I used hole reinforcements for paper as stencils (I bought them at a local discount store). The polishes I used are Figure of Art by Finger Paints and Lincoln Center by NYC. For embellishments I used a 2mm yellow rhinestone and copper beads from Michaels. The video tutorial will be at the end of this post.
Hola! Éste es mi primer intento de unas uñas de media luna. Me gustó mucho el resultado y espero que a ti también te guste. Usé protectores de hojas de papel como guías (los compré en una tienda local). Los esmaltes que usé son Figure of Art de Finger Paints y Lincoln Center de NYC. Para adornar usé una piedrita de 2mm en color amarillo y microcuencas cobrizas de Michaels. El video de éste tutorial estará al final de ésta entrada.
xoxo, 
Carol 
PS: I had to file down my nails once again because I had a door accident over the weekend.
Tuve que dejar mis uñas un poco más cortas porque tuve un accidente con una puerta.

Sakura: Cherry Blossoms

This time I will show you my attempt to create a nice and feminine manicure featuring cherry blossoms. I personally love it, and although it is not perfect, I really liked how it came out.
En ésta ocasión les mostraré mi intento para crear un manicure lindo y femenino con flores de cerezo. Personalmente me gustó mucho, aunque se que no es perfecto, me agrada el resultado que obtuve.

1.Start with a coat of a shimmery color of your choice (Fire Fly by Jesse's Girl)

3. Draw branches with a dark burgundy/brown polish (Lincoln Center by NYC)

4. Using your dotting tool and a white nail polish (White by Kleancolor) create 3-4 petaled flowers.
Con un punteador y usando un esmalte blanco (White de Kleancolor) haz flores de 3-4 pétalos.

5. Add dimension to the flowers by adding some pink and yellow in the middle (Expecting by Freshcover y Mellow Yellow by Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear).
