Gradient and Zebra Print

Hello!
I was looking through some old posts that I needed to edit and I came across a gradient, glitter, and animal print mani I did on my short nails a while ago. It is one of my favorites and I think I should do a bolder version of this someday soon.
I hope you enjoy it and have a great week!

Week 53 - Happy New Year!!!

Hello there!
I hope you had a great start of 2013, I also hope that your 2012 had been a good year for everything you had planned. Personally, 2012 was a roller coaster year for me, but I am thankful that it was also the year for me to undertake new beginnings. I hope that 2013 continues to be a good year and that dreams, hopes and goals are accomplished in the following 12 months for all of us.
There is a weird story behind this manicure. I was going to end 2012 with bare nails! Yup, I wasn't feeling like doing my nails but I was randomly on YouTube and I saw JaeMarie2008's latest tutorial (HERE) - I had to do it! I love her tutorials and her nails are always looking fabulous. Thank you Jae for inspiring me to end the year with glitzy nails. At the same time, I think this manicure is a compilation of some of this challenge's manicures - glitter, gradient, dots, metallics...
Have a wonderful 2013!!!

Week 51: Red Nails

If you have been following my blog for a long time, you may know that I love wearing red nail polish. It was in fact a red polish that converted me into a polish hoarder, I mean, lover. For the red nails week, I wore Jordana Holiday Red and I topped it off with Hot Flash from the same brand. On my accent nail, I did a white nail topped with Jordana Lunar Lights and a little holly :)

 

Week 50: Snowflake Manicure

As I mention in my Snow post, I love snowflakes; I love snow and winter but I highly dislike being cold. I suffer from cold hands and feet... It is quite painful sometimes. Here is my snowflake manicure along with what I used:
Tips: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Rapid Red
Glitter: Jordana Hot Flash
Stamping plate and polish: m59 and Konad White

 

Week 49: Glitter Sandwich

I must say this was not my favorite look; I had to research how to do a glitter sandwich and here is what I came up with. For this manicure I used:
Base color: Wet n Wild Megalast Sugar Coat
Glitter: Jordana Funky Gold Town

 

 

 

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
