Week 15: Easter Manicure

Happy Easter!
I hope you guys are enjoying your Easter Sunday. For this manicure, I was not sure if I wanted to do bunnies or little chicks. I could have sworn I had a stamp plate that had a chick, but I did not. I did a bunny instead, I am pleased to say I love it!
As a base I used 2 coats of a pink jelly polish by Freshcover (the label fell off) and a coat of Forget Now by Sinful Colors. The flowers and bunny were done with acrylic paint and a dotting tool.
I hope you enjoy!
xoxo,
Carol

Nails for Autumn - Fall

Hello :)
Today I am bringing a fall/autumn manicure that I saw on Raquel's channel. The link to her YouTube channel is here, she is awesome with free-handed nail art. As a base polish I used Love is Battle by Freshcover and to do the flowers I used a Glorious Gold by Americana (acrylic paint). I added rhinestones as well. I was truly happy with the end result.
Hoy les traigo un manicure de otoño que ví en en canal de Raquel. El enlace a su canal de YouTube está aquí, ella es simplemente maravillosa haciendo detalles para las uñas. Yo utilicé Love is Battle de Freshcover como base y para las flores usé Glorious Gold de Americana (pintura acrílica). Agregué piedritas también y el resultado me gustó mucho.

Juicy Yellow, Mellow Yellow

Hello!
This time I am using Mellow Yellow by Sally Hansen. I added a coat of Firefly by Jesse's Girl which gave it dimension. To finish up, I added black dots with Black Creme by WnW and a flower on my ring and thumb nails. Simple, huh?
Ahora estoy usando Mellow Yellow de Sally Hansen. Agregué una capa de Firefly de Jesse's Girl el cual le dió dimensión. Para terminar, coloqué puntos negros con el esmalte Black Creme de WnW y una flor en las uñas de los dedos anular y pulgares.

Flowers, Dots and Glitter

Hi!
This nail look came to me as an improvisation because, just as anytime, I do not know what to do. So here we go. Before getting into the tutorial itself, I would like to mention that many times I do not post detailed step-by-step pictures, that is because many times I start doing my nails and I get too focused and it is until I am basically done that I say, "Hmm, PICTURES!!!!". I think I will be doing this look again and I promise I will take pics this time around.
Hola!
Éste manicure salió de una improvisación porque como siempre, no sabía que hacer. Aquí vamos. Antes de iniciar el tutorial, me gustaría mencionar que muchas veces to coloco fotos detalladas del paso a paso, eso es porque muchas veces cuando arreglo mis uñas, me enfoco mucho en lo que hago y no es sino hasta que he terminado que me doy cuenta que no he tomado fotos. Haré nuevamente este manicure en otra oportunidad, prometo tomar fotos esta vez.

Start with two coats of Gorgeous by Sinful Colors, a green-turquoise polish with some iridescence.
Empieza con dos capas de Gorgeous de Sinful Colors, que es un verde turquesa tornasol.

Then, do a diagonal with silver and do little half circles to resemble lace.
Traza una diagonal con plateado y haz medias lunas para que parezca encaje.

On one of the corners, do a 4-petaled flower and add some random dots.

En una de las esquinas, haz una flor de 4 pétalos y agrega puntos al azar.

Seal it off with a top coat.
Séllalo con un protector de esmalte.

Flowers and Leaves

Hello there!I am showing you pictures of a manicure I did a few days ago. I had no idea on what to do and my mom said, "do some flowers and leaves". Thanks for the idea mommy! I really loved the end result and I hope you love them.
Estoy mostrando ahora fotos de un manicure que hice unos días. No sabía que hacer y mi mamá dijo "Qué tal florecitas y hojas?". Gracias ma' por la idea! Me gustó mucho el resultado y espero les agrade.

For this design I started with 2 coats of Kleancolor in White and then added one coat of Sinful Color's Nail Junkie.
Para éste diseño empecé con 2 capas de Blanco de Kleancolor y luego una capa de Nail Junkie de Sinful Colors.

With Santee's Pink Flower I drew half of a flower in the near the cuticle and then added some leaves with Sinful Color's Happy Ending. Then I placed some black dots in the center of the flowers.
Con el color Flower Pink de Santee dibujé la mitad de una flor en la parte más cercana a la cutícula y también agregué hojas con el color Happy Ending de Sinful Colors. Finalmente coloqué unos puntos negros en el centro de las flores.
