My Entry to Amandalandish's Nail Art(ish) Spring Competition

Hello ladies!

Today I am sharing with you a manicure I submitted to Amandalandish's Nail Art(ish) Competition. I have included the link for you to check it out, it ends on May 25th. For my entry I started with 2 coats of WnW White Creme followed by 1 coat of Jesse's Girl Firefly. The green for the gradient is Kleancolor Metallic Green which I just sponged on. The floral stamp is from plate BM-224with the polish Ebony Hates Chris by WnW. I dotted the centers of the flowers with a dotting tool and random neons by Kleancolor. I hope you enjoyed and also submit your entry if you haven't already :)

El día de hoy les comparto un diseño de uñas que sometí al concurso de Amandalandish llamado Nail Art(ish) Competition.  He incluído el enlace a su página y al concurso para que lo vean, termina el 25 de mayo. Para mi entrada, empecé con dos capas de White Creme de WnW seguidas con una capa de Jesse's Girl en el color Firefly. El verde que usé en el degradado es Metallic Green de Kleancolor. El sello floral es de la plaquita BM-224 con el esmalte de WnW Ebony Hates Chris. Los centros de las flores los hice con un puntero y colores neones de Kleancolor.

Orange Blossoms: Glitter and Stamping

Hello :)
This is a quick post, again. I really loved this manicure, I started with 2 coats of Baby Orange by Nabi and 1 coat of 9021Orange by Wet n Wild. If you see little blue/green specks it's because I added a coat of Sinful Colors Pearl Harbor glitter to give it dimension. The flowers are from plate SE19 and I stamped with the polishes Black Creme from Wet n Wild and Konad White.
Ésta es una entrada breve, otra vez. Me gustó mucho este diseño, empecé con 2 capas de Baby Orange de la marca Nabi y después una capa de 9021Orange de Wet n Wild. Si logras ver brillos verdes/azules es porque apliqué también una capa de la brillantina Pearl Harbor de Sinful Colors. Las flores son del platillo SE19 y estampé con los esmaltes Black Creme de WnW y Konad White.

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 Need a Refresh-Mint + Stamping

Hello :)
This is a manicure I wore a few days ago. I got I Need a Refreshmint from WnW Megalast line because I had a $2.00 coupon for CVS and it was the last one on the shelf. I had been looking for it, but I could not find it. I am not sure, but rumor has it that it is a dupe for CG For Audrey. Anyway, I love this shade! I stamped using plate BM224 using WnW Black Creme. The stamping is not perfect, I know...
Random fact of the day: This week I had a quiz, a lab practical and a midterm exam. I did not sleep well until last night I believe... I am just glad I did very well on all three :)
Hola! Este manicure lo tuve hace un par de días; compré I Need a Refresh-Mint de la línea Megalast de WnW porque tenía un cupón de $2.00 para CVS y era el último en el estante. Lo había buscado con aterioridad, pero no lo encontraba ya que el rumor es que es el clon de For Audrey de CG. Bueno, me gustó mucho éste tono. Estampé con el platillo BM224 usando WnW Black Creme. Lo sé, el estampado no es perfecto...
Curiosidad del día: Ésta semana tuve un quiz, examen de laboratorio y un examen. No dormí bien hasta anoche... Estoy demasiado contenta porque me fue super bien en los tres :)

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...

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 :)

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 :)

'Mellow Yellow' and m02 Flowers

Hello there!
I came up with a very simple manicure this time. I started with 2 coats of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow and then I added Sinful Colors in Pearl Harbor to the tips. I picked a simple flower from my m02 plate and stamped with WnW in Black Creme.

Early Valentine's Day Manicure Idea

Hello dear readers!
I am showing you one of my V-Day mani ideas for this year. At the same time, I came up with and entered a love themed nail art contest by TotallyCoolNails from YouTube. The inspiration for this simple design comes from Victoria's Secret. I remember walking in there and looking at the 'Noir Tease' perfume bottle... Light pink with a black lacey detail. I loved the femininity of it. I tried to duplicate that image I had in my head, I made a simple "lace"on three of my nails and on the other two, I did some simple stripes with different details. I am still working on my free-handed skills, therefore the unevenness of my details. Finally, when I think of love, I think of femininity, pink, and why not sexy ;)
Ésta vez les estoy mostrando un diseño para uñas del  día de San Valentín para éste año. Al mismo tiempo, ésta es mi entrada al concurso con tema del amor de TotallyCoolNails de YouTube. La inspiración para éste diseño simple viene de Victoria's Secret. Recuerdo entrar allí y ver el frasco del perfume 'Noir Tease'... Rosado claro con un detalle delicado de encaje. Me gustó mucho la femininidad de el frasco. Quise plasmar la imagen del encaje en tres de mis uñas y en las otras dos, hice simples líneas con dibujitos fáciles. Aún estoy trabajando en mis habilidades para dibujar, así que nada es perfecto. Finalmente, cuando pienso en el amor, imagino algo femenino, rosado y por qué no sexy?

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!
