Week 47: Thanksgiving Manicure

It is again that time of the year; family gathering, a scrumptious dinner followed by a delicious slice of homemade pumpkin pie... Hmmm... Speaking of which, I made 2 delicious pumpkin pies today and they are the reason why I am showing you a tropical-ish manicure for Thanksgiving. You see, I opened a can of condensed milk and I was trying to get all the yummy sweetness out of the can with a rubber spatula and there was a sharp edge... I don't dare to do my nails with the cut I have, I don't want to risk getting acetone in it...

 Here is my manicure for which I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Lickety-Split Lime as a base and I stamped with BM215 using Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Blue By!. I am wearing naked nails for Thanksgiving, it's cool, I will survive :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
GOBBLE, GOBBLE!!!

Week 40: Animal Print Manicure

If there is something I love for nails is animal print. I had not tried the snakeskin print on plate BM215 so I decided to create a colorful background with some Insta-Dris (Lightening, Blue Bye!, Rapid Red, Presto Pink, Lickety-Split Lime) and added the stamp.

 

 

I did the same thin on my right hand but then I decided to use the zebra print instead of snakeskin. I really loved this version :) Sorry about the last 2 pictures, they are not the best!

Summery Water Marble / Marmoleado en Agua Veraniego

Happy first day of summer!
I hope you are enjoying the extra sunlight, I sure am since it is 7pm and it is still bright and sunny :) I am really excited about this manicure, it was my official first attempt to do a water marbling design. I used bottled water and a plastic cup. I began with a coat of white nail polish and then I alternated between the following Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polishes: Lightening, Pepto Pink and Lickety-Split Lime. I was really happy with the result.
Feliz inicio de verano!
Espero que estén disfrutando de las horas extras de sol, aqui son las 7pm y todavía está muy soleado :) Mi manicura me emociona mucho, es mi primer intento oficial de marmoleado en agua. Usé agua embotellada y un vasito plástico. Empecé con una capa de esmalte blanco y los siguientes Insta-Dri: Lightening, Pepto Pink, Lickety-Split Lime. Me encantó como quedó.

 

During the weekend I was contacted by Mercedes from beyondbeautylounge.com notifying me that I had come out as the winner of her PearlMountain Image Converter. I can watermark pictures in batches now, it's amazing! Do you like the new watermark?

Week 22: Splatter Manicure

It's not much of a splatter, but I sort of liked the end result. Just ignore my index fingernail; I was stamping randomly and I ended up messing it up there... *Sigh*
Reconozco que no se ve como un salpicado de pinturas, pero me gustó como quedó. Solo ignoren mi uña del índice; quice hacerlo al azar, pero no me quedó bien en esa uña...
