Stripes and Dots

Hello :)
This is a manicure I did for a YouTube V-Day Collaboration. RobinMoses and ProfessionalDQ came up with this idea and JaeMarie2008 invited me to join. I figured I would do something extremely simple because many times we do not have the time to do an extremely fancy V-day manicure.  I used Flower Pink by Santee as a base, for the stripes a white striper and for the dots acrylic white paint.

Here is the video:

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.

Pink for a Cause

Hello :)
I know this is not exactly a pink ribbon for BCAM. However, it is pink and it has a purpose. I must clarify that this is not originally my design. I got this idea from JaeMarie2008 on YouTube, click here to see her tutorial. I hope you are having a pink October, and remember, it is not only about the color, it is more about being aware of something that we might be vulnerable to.
My post on Breast Cancer: Warriors in Pink
Yo sé que éste no es exactamente un moñito rosado por el mes de conciencia acerca del cáncer de seno. Sin embargo, es rosado con cierto propósito. Debo aclarar que éste diseño no es mío originalmente. Tomé la idea de JaeMarie2008 en YouTube, haz click aquí para ver su tutorial. Espero estén teniendo un octubre muy rosado, y lo más importante, no se trata únicamente del color, sino que es para crear conciencia  y educarnos sobre algo ante lo que todas somos vulnerable.

Fancy Red and Crackle

For this manicure, I wanted to use red, so I chose a ruby red color, Love is Battle by Freshcover. I could not leave it simple so I added White Crack by Nabi on the side. Of course, I blinged it up by defining the edge between the crackle and the red with a silver stripe as well as rhinestones on my ring and thumb nails.
Para éste manicure, quise usar un esmalte rojo y escogí un color rubí, Love is Battle de Freshcover. No lo quise dejar simple y agregué White Crack de Nabi por un lado. Claro, lo tuve que decorar y definí el borde entre el esmalte rojo y el crackelado con una línea plateada y también con piedritas en las uñas de los dedos anular y pulgar.

Girly French Manicure

This is an easy french manicure. You know the drill, pinky background, white tips. I added some pink dots along the edge as well as a 4-petal flower and a black rhinestone on my ring fingernail. Enjoy!
Éste es un manicure francés muy fácil. Ya saben, fondo rosado, puntas blancas. Añadí puntos rosados en el borde blanco y también un flor de 4 pétalos con una piedrita negra en la uña del dedo anular. Espero les guste!

Bright Pink Manicure

I had had a Santee nail polish sitting around for a while but the color is so bright that I did not know how to use it. To start off, the name of the polish is Pink Flower and it is a neon pink. The polish itself has a nice formula and I only used one coat to achieve full coverage. I hope you like it!
He tenido un esmalte Santee por algun tiempo pero el color es tan fuerte que no sabía como usarlo. Para empezar, el esmalte se llama Pink Flower y es un rosado neon. El esmalte en sí tiene una buena consistencia y usé nada más una capa para lograr una cobertura completa. Espero les guste.

 Apply one coat of a light pink polish (Glass Pink by Sinful Colors).
Aplica una capa de rosado pálido (Glass Pink de Sinful Colors).

Do a side swipe with a neon pink (Flower Pink by Santee).
Cubre la mitad de la uña por un lado con un rosado neon (Flower Pink de Santee).

Do the other side with black (Black Creme by WnW).
Haz el otro lado con negro (Black Creme de WnW).

Add dots and rhinestones. Doesn't it look neat on short nails? Imagine it on longer nails!
Agrega puntos y piedritas. No se ve lindo en uñas cortas? Imagínalo en uñas un poco más largas!
