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?

I Love French Manicures (Megalast 'Sugar Coat')

Yes, I love French manis... I simply do. And now, I found just the perfect pink, WnW Megalast in Sugarcoat. The design I used is from plate SE18 using WnW Black Creme to stamp. It's past my bedtime...

Week 9: Vintage Manicure

Hello!
I am excited about this post. This manicure is one of my favorites so far... When I think of vintage, I think of pin-up girls, red lips, fishnets and roses. That's what I did for this week. I got so many compliments on this look! I hope you like it :)
Estoy muy emocionada por la entrada de hoy. Éste manicure es uno de mis favoritos hasta ahora... Cuando pienso en algo vintage, imagino chicas pin-up, labios rojos, medias/mallas y rosas. Eso hice para esta semana. A muchas personas les gustó este look. Espero sea de su agrado.

Wet n Wild Megalast 'Disturbia' and CoverGirl 'Goddess'

This is a quick mani showing you one of the Megalast polishes from Wet n Wild. Disturbia is a deep purple/plum with a beautiful shimmer in it, it is almost unnoticeable. I am also showing a holo glitter by CoverGirl called 'Goddess' which I bought at Target for $1.40! I love that holo! I can honestly say that I just love those 2 either together or on their own :)

Flowers and Leaves

Hello there!I am showing you pictures of a manicure I did a few days ago. I had no idea on what to do and my mom said, "do some flowers and leaves". Thanks for the idea mommy! I really loved the end result and I hope you love them.
Estoy mostrando ahora fotos de un manicure que hice unos días. No sabía que hacer y mi mamá dijo "Qué tal florecitas y hojas?". Gracias ma' por la idea! Me gustó mucho el resultado y espero les agrade.

For this design I started with 2 coats of Kleancolor in White and then added one coat of Sinful Color's Nail Junkie.
Para éste diseño empecé con 2 capas de Blanco de Kleancolor y luego una capa de Nail Junkie de Sinful Colors.

With Santee's Pink Flower I drew half of a flower in the near the cuticle and then added some leaves with Sinful Color's Happy Ending. Then I placed some black dots in the center of the flowers.
Con el color Flower Pink de Santee dibujé la mitad de una flor en la parte más cercana a la cutícula y también agregué hojas con el color Happy Ending de Sinful Colors. Finalmente coloqué unos puntos negros en el centro de las flores.

Bright Pink Manicure

I had had a Santee nail polish sitting around for a while but the color is so bright that I did not know how to use it. To start off, the name of the polish is Pink Flower and it is a neon pink. The polish itself has a nice formula and I only used one coat to achieve full coverage. I hope you like it!
He tenido un esmalte Santee por algun tiempo pero el color es tan fuerte que no sabía como usarlo. Para empezar, el esmalte se llama Pink Flower y es un rosado neon. El esmalte en sí tiene una buena consistencia y usé nada más una capa para lograr una cobertura completa. Espero les guste.

 Apply one coat of a light pink polish (Glass Pink by Sinful Colors).
Aplica una capa de rosado pálido (Glass Pink de Sinful Colors).

Do a side swipe with a neon pink (Flower Pink by Santee).
Cubre la mitad de la uña por un lado con un rosado neon (Flower Pink de Santee).

Do the other side with black (Black Creme by WnW).
Haz el otro lado con negro (Black Creme de WnW).

Add dots and rhinestones. Doesn't it look neat on short nails? Imagine it on longer nails!
Agrega puntos y piedritas. No se ve lindo en uñas cortas? Imagínalo en uñas un poco más largas!

Silver and Dots

Hi Again!
I gave Kleancolor polishes a try and I was a little skeptical after my crackle polish experiment (link to post). The polish I used is called Pearl Silver and it is a beautiful shade with lots of shimmer and it is a million times better than the crackle polishes. I used two coats of that and then I just did some random black and white dots. Nothing special. I hope you like it! By the way, my nails have grown, and this design will work on either long or short nails.
Hola de nuevo!
Le dí una oportunidad a los esmaltes de Kleancolor y honestamente, estaba un poquito insegura después de haber hecho mi experimento con los esmaltes que se agrietan (enlace aquí para el experimento). El esmalte que usé hoy se llama Pearl Silver de Kleancolor y es un color muy bonito con mucho brillo y es un millón de veces mejor que el esmalte que se agrieta. Utilicé dos capas de éste y luego solo agregué unos puntos en blanco y negro. Nada especial, espero que les guste! Por cierto, mis uñas han crecido, pero aún asi, este diseño luce bien en uñas cortas o largas.

Orange and Black

Hola!

I had the urge to try my Wet n Wild nail polish in 9.0.2.1.Orange, which is a gorgeous microglittery orange. I also wanted to give it some edge and I believe that my mani came out looking a little Halloween-i but I am sure it will work with any color combo in either short or long nails.. For the black nail polish, I used Black Expressionism by Finger Paints. I hope you enjoy it and try it!
Tuve la necesidad de probar mi esmalte de Wet n Wild en el color 9.0.2.1.Orange, el cual es un anaranjado con miles de brillos pequeñitos. También quise agregarle un poco de dramatismo y creo que mi manicure termino siendo un poco relacionado a Halloween, pero igual funciona con cualquier color en uñas cortas o largas. Para el esmalte negro, utilicé Black Expressionism de Finger Paints. Espero les guste y lo intenten!

Cute Pastels

Today I tried sally Hansen's Lacey Lilac which is a beautiful lilac pastel. This is after 2 coats and I think it looks nice on short nails (will look gorgeous once my nails grow!)
Hoy probé Lacey Lilac de Sally Hansen el cual es un lila pastel muy bonito. Esto es después de dos capas y creo que queda muy bien en uñas cortas (se verá muy lindo una vez que mis uñas crezcan).

After that, I decided to take a crafty pair of scissors and painter's tape. 
Luego tomé un par de tijeras y cinta adhesiva.

Cut a piece of tape and place it over the nail in whichever direction you prefer. (I did it only on my thumb and ring finger). 
Corta un pedazo de cinta y colócalo sobre la uña en la dirección que prefieras.  (Yo lo hice únicamente en mi dedo gordo y el anular).

Apply black nail polish. I am using Wet n Wild's Black Créme. Take tape off.
Aplica esmalte negro, yo usé Black Créme de Wet n Wild. Retira la cinta adhesiva.
 

Add a top coat. The end.
Aplica un protector de esmalte. El fin.
