WnW Megalast 'I Red a Good Book' with Nail Art

This is just a quick post of free-handed nail art I did using 'I Red a Good Book' by WnW as a base. The swirls and dots were done with black and white acrylic paint respectively. I added some silver glitter from a nail art pen.
Enjoy :)

Week 21: Fruit Manicure

Juicy manicure ahead!
There is one thing I love about spring/summer and that is having delicious, ripe, and juicy fruits available locally! This manicure is a fruity one as you can see and I ventured using a small brush, acrylic paints and a bit of patience. I was proud enough when my mom thought I had used stickers! Oh, the base color is I Need a Refresh-Mint by WnW Megalast.
Una de las cosas que más disfruto de la temporada primavera/verano es tener disponibilidad de diferentes frutas de acuerdo a la temporada! Como pueden darse cuenta, las uñas de hoy son protagonizadas por frutas. Me dí la tarea de usar un pincel pequeño, pinturas acrílicas y un poco de paciencia. Me bastó cuando mi mamá creyó que había utilizado calcomanías/pegatinas! Por cierto, el color base que ven es WnW Megalast en el color I Need a Refresh-Mint.
 What is your favorite fruit?

Week 20: Bows Manicure

Hello :)
This is a really simple and girly manicure. I started with two coats of Sally Hansen On the Rocks which is a shimmery and sheer pink. I then added three nail tape stripes to each nail. I finished off with some white dots and bows which I did with acrylic paint.
Éste es un manicure muy simple y femenino. Empecé con dos capas de Sally Hansen On the Rocks el cual es un rosado brillante poco cubriente. Agregué tres tiritas de cinta adhesiva para las uñas. Terminé con puntitos y moñitos blancos hechos con pintura acrílica.

Whimsical by Revlon

I had read and seen the hype originated by Revlon's Whimsical. I had not seen it at my local pharmacies or stores, so I just said to myself, "Carol, you don't need it". Well, I stopped by my local Rite Aid last week to see what deals they had and as I approached the Revlon nail stand, there it was, just among other few polishes I did not even care to see... Whimsical, my Whimsical. I had convinced myself I did not need it, but I could not resist how pretty it looked in addition to the fact that I only paid $2.50 (I think) for it. I applied 2 coats of it over white. I love it!
Había leído y visto la sensación que ocasionó el esmalte Whimsical de Revlon. No lo ví por ningún lado y entonces me convencí que no lo necesitaba. La semana pasada pasé a Rite Aid a ver que ofertas tenían y cuando me acerqué al estante de Revlon, allí estaba, entre un par de esmaltes que ni me detuve a mirar... Whimsical, el mío. A pesar que me había convencido que no lo necesitaba, no me pude resistir lo lindo que se veía además que solo pagué $2.50 por el. Lo apliqué sobre blanco en mis uñas cortas.
