Week 48: Feather Manicure

Hello there!

I apologize for dropping so suddenly in your blog list... Yes, it's me and I am back :)

I am so sorry for having been gone for so long. Let me do a short summary of what has been going on and why I hadn't blogged. My winter break started a week ago and prior to that I was stressed to the max because of finals. I had 2 finals for one same subject and I think I did not get any sleep during that week but I am glad it all paid off. Also, I was adjusting to a new schedule because I was chosen as a volunteer for a hospital and getting a spot there is not that easy. In the middle of my lack of sleep and new schedule, I was going through some rough emotional/sentimental turmoil... Everything settled and I am glad to be back, I hope you understand :)

I did these nails the week before finals and I think that they sort of look like peacock feathers. Here is what I used:
Base color: Zoya Zuza

Stamping plate and polish: BM212 and Maybelline Color Show Bold Gold

Dots: WnW fasdry Teal of Fortune, Kleancolor Metallic Fuchsia

IC Awareness Manicure (Entry to JennaFroggy's Contest)

Hi,
One of the things I love about blogging is that I learn new things by reading nail artists' posts. A couple of days ago I was catching up with Jenna's blog (LINK HERE) and I saw that she was hosting a contest as a way of becoming aware of interstitial cystitis. September and teal are the IC awareness month and color respectively. It was through Jenna that I learned more about IC and I do not regret visiting the IC Awareness website. Thanks Jen!
Una de las cosas que me gusta de tener un blog es aprender de mis colegas. Jenna escribió una entrada en su blog acerca de un concurso el cual tenia como propósito informar acerca de cistitis intesticial. Septiembre es el mes que honora CI y el color es el verde azulado. Visiten la página de cistitis intersticial AQUI.

As a way of doing a manicure for this cause, I used a teal background with white daisies (IC Awareness flower) and a teal ribbon. I seriously love those daisies!!! This is the collage picture I submitted to Jen's contest, and I hope you like the rest :)
He aquí mi entrada a su concurso honorando a las personas con dicho padecimiento:

Picture overload!

 

 

Jen's contest ends on 9/23 @ 11:59pm EST!

Week 11: St. Patrick's Day Manicure

Hello!
This is a very easy St. Patrick's Day manicure. I wish I had done something more special, but I don't have much time nowadays... On to the mani, I started with a coat of Finger Paints 'Black Expressionism' and on top, I layered with 2 coats of WnW 'Teal of Fortune'. I loved how it looked black in the shade, and with good lighting it was a beautiful green. I then stamped using Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in 'Silver Sweep' with the shamrock from plate m71.
How do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
Éste manicure del día de San Patricio es demasiado fácil. Me hubiese gustado hacer algo más especial, pero ahora ya no cuento con tanto tiempo. Empecé con una capa de 'Black Expressionism' de la marca Finger Paints y encima apliqué 2 capas de WnW 'Teal of Fortune'. En la sombra se veía negro y con buena luz, refleja un verde muy lindo. Para el trébol use la plaquita m71 con el esmalte 'Silver Sweep' de Sally Hansen.
Cómo celebras el día de San Patricio?
xoxo, 
Carol

Hi again!

This time I am bringing a spin on a typical leopard print. This is my second post with animal print, to see the original leopard print I did, click HERE. This time around, I used silver and teal polishes and I followed the same procedure as I did on my other leopard print mani. 

Hola de nuevo!

Ésta vez les traigo un manicure de estampado de leopardo un poco más moderno. Ésta es mi segunda entrada con estampado animal, para ver mi estampado animal anterior haz click AQUÍ. Ahora, usé plateado y turquesa y seguí los pasos del proceso anterior.
