Disney's California Adventure!

Hello :)
Although I have not told you the horror story of my peeling nails, I did this manicure when they were getting back in shape. I went to Disney's California Adventure the last Friday of June and it was amazing! I hadn't been there in about 5 years and I enjoyed every minute of it - except the long lines for some rides. The picture above is from the end of the World of Color show on water. If you have watched it, I am sure you are just in awe as I am. It is such a show, worth every penny; it even made me cry...
On to the nails... I googled Disney nail art and I just copied this manicure which came up several times. I did not take more pictures because I had a topcoat issue and sheet marks- ugh! but I really liked it. I took the picture before the Pixar parade.

What is your favorite Disney character???

Polishes:
-Red: China Glaze Ruby Pumps
-Black: Finger Paints Black Expressionism
-Yellow: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lightening

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!

I haven't been around in the longest, but I am back! This is an old manicure that I hadn't had the chance to post, the colors were 'inspired' by the latest Batman movie. The colors are Insta-Dri Lightening and Silver Sweep as well as WnW Black Creme.
Enjoy!

Geometric & Neon Manicure

Hello there :)
This manicure is a few weeks old, I got caught up with life and other stuff and that's why I have been so inconsistent with my posting. So... I am sorry...
This manicure was an entry for Shelly's Sassy Nails Sassy Saturday 7/12. The theme was color blocking and this is what I came up with. As a base I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lightening and I created the rectangles and square by using nail tape. The polishes I used are by Kleancolor: Catch Me, Neon Pink, Neon Purple and Neon Blue.
xoxo!
Éste manicure lo hice hace un pare de semanas, pero pues sucedieron cosas en mi vida y es por eso que mis entradas al blog han sido irregulares. Lo siento...

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...
