Stripes and Dots

Hello :)
This is a manicure I did for a YouTube V-Day Collaboration. RobinMoses and ProfessionalDQ came up with this idea and JaeMarie2008 invited me to join. I figured I would do something extremely simple because many times we do not have the time to do an extremely fancy V-day manicure.  I used Flower Pink by Santee as a base, for the stripes a white striper and for the dots acrylic white paint.

Here is the video:

Week 4: Plaid Manicure

Hello!
I am SO terribly sorry I did not post my weekly mani for this challenge on Sunday as I usually do. I have been really sick and I did not feel like doing my nails. In addition to my horrible flu, headaches, body-aches, coughing and nose congestion, one of my nails broke and I was just not in the mood. I am not 100% recovered, but I am feeling way better and here is my plaid manicure.
I thought plaid was easy... Well, not so much for me. I think it looks a bit Christmas-y and for some odd reason my top coat (INM Out The Door) dried matte!? I am a little confused...
What did I use?

• Santee 'Brown Silk'
• Sally Hansen Insta-Dri 'Rapid Red'
• Kiss Nail Art Polishes in Silver Glitter and White

Week 3: Color Block Mani

For Week 3, I was a little unsure on how to take on color blocking. I took my favorite bright pink, a bright purple and yellow acrylic paint. I know, I know, it is simple, but it is bright and quite odd for me. The colors I used are: Flower Pink by Santee, Wild Thing by Jesse's Girl and Bright Yellow by Craft Smart. I have no idea why my purple is showing up differently, I was so stressed out because I could not get the right colors for the picture...

Flowers on Cement with BM-221

Hey!
Today, the nail design is using one of the full nail stamps from the Bundle Monster plates. I used Santee Perfect Gray as a background and I stamped with the plate BM-221. For the stamping polishes I used Wet n Wild Black Creme and Kleancolor White. I loved the turn out!
Hoy, el diseño para uñas que traigo es usando una de las plantillas de Bundle Monster. Usé Perfect Gray de Santee como fondo y el sello es de la plantilla BM-221. Para los sellos utilicé los esmaltes Black Creme de Wet n Wild y White de Kleancolor. Me gustó mucho como quedó.

Sinful Colors 'Easy Going' + Nail Art

Hello!
I wore this manicure for a couple of days and I really loved the simplicity of it. I started with 2 coats of Easy Going by Sinful Colors. Then, I drew some simple flowers using Flower Pink by Santee. I added dots as you see, using my dotting tool and Glorious Gold by Americana (acrylic paint).
I hope you try it.

Éste manicure lo tuve por un par de días y me gustó mucho la simplicidad que posee. Empecé con 2 capas de Easy Going de Sinful Colors. Dibujé unas flores sencillas utilizando Flower Pink de Santee. Agregué puntos usando mi puntero y la pintura acrílica Glorious Gold de Americana. Espero lo intentes :)

Rocker Girl

The polishes featuring in this manicure are:
Los esmaltes utilizados en este manicure son:

• Flower Pink by Santee
• Black Expressionism by Finger Paints
• Secret Admirer by Sinful Colors
• Microbeads from Michael's

My inspiration came from wanting to use a bright pink and black. I really like how it looks and makes your nails look interesting. It is funny because when I had my hands on something dark, my nails looked short, it is very playful.
Mi inspiración vino porque quise mis uñas con rosado fuerte y negro. Me gusta como se ve y le da un efecto interesante a las uñas. Es chistoso porque cuando ponía mis manos sobre algo oscuro mis uñas parecían ser cortas, es versátil.

Take care,
Carol

Girly French Manicure

This is an easy french manicure. You know the drill, pinky background, white tips. I added some pink dots along the edge as well as a 4-petal flower and a black rhinestone on my ring fingernail. Enjoy!
Éste es un manicure francés muy fácil. Ya saben, fondo rosado, puntas blancas. Añadí puntos rosados en el borde blanco y también un flor de 4 pétalos con una piedrita negra en la uña del dedo anular. Espero les guste!

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!
