NOTD: Super Pink Wow Wow

I didn't know what else to call this.... Hahaha!!! I saw it come across my Facebook page and had to try it out! I haven't used my large rhinestones in a while so I was happy to do so here. I also got to use some striping tape! I need to do more with that. I have several colors.
This took me a while to do, but it was so worth it.

For some reason I didn't take a picture of the polish....

NOTD: Purple and Flowers

Just a super quick and simple purple flower look. I wanted to test out my new Nicole colors but still wanted it to be cute. I added purple rhinestones for an extra touch!

Nail Polish Used:
Nicole "Back in my Gloria Days..."
NYC "French White Tip"

NOTD: Pink Sparkle Sparkle

Testing out some more Nicole colors!! I love this beautiful pink. It reminds me of sunsets and watermelons. It will be my go to for such designs.

NOTD: My FFA Officer Team

Keeping up with my FFA themes this month, here is my officer team! I put FFA on my right thumb and FS on my left for my school. It sure was a challenge painting these faces. I sketched them out roughly first so I kinda knew where I was going. I seriously do not have good drawing skills. I can draw freaky people like this and flowers.
It took my an hour and a half to paint everything. I mixed most of my own colors to customize the skin tones and hair. I even made everyone have eye color! You will notice the strange looking person on my left pinky. Was that on purpose? or was it simply due to being the last nail and I was tired? I'll let you decide...

NOTD: Halloween Town

One of my favorite Halloween movies is Halloweentown. If you've never heard of it, seriously, look it up! Its a Disney kids movie, haha.
I did some nails based off of it! On my thumb I have Benny the tax driving skeleton when he is angry, the magical wand thingy that helps break the spell, and the Jack-o-Lantern that is a figure of the town. I didn't know what else to paint so I just put H and T for Halloweentown.. So creative.... Again, I waited too long to take these pictures and they are a little chipped.

Paint Used:
Americana "White Wash"
                 "Ebony"

NOTD: Red and Sparkle

In my last post I mentioned about this new matte Avon polish. Here is how I made it prettier!! I couldn't stop looking at my nails all day. I just kept staring at them. It was weird, I have to admit.... My friends all agreed however that it is beautiful.

Nail Polish Used:
Avon "Red Velvet"
Color Club "Snow-Flakes"

NOTD: Blue and Gold FFA Elegant

I think this looks very elegant and formal. I am calling it my FFA formal. National Convention is coming up this month and I am going to be doing some FFA themed nails along with Halloween!
I started off this look with just the gold French tip but, today I added gold rhinestones. I think the rhinestones add that extra punch.

NOTD: Bluebirds

This is the first design I have done with only acrylic paint! I mixed the colors to look like a gradient then failed at painting lines that are supposed to resemble reeds and a bird with a huge head. My skills have been improving though! I also made a lightbox!!!! Don't my pictures look nice? It was super easy to make.

Paints Used:
Americana "White Wash"
                 "Ebony"

NOTD: Pink Side Dots

I found this look on Pinterest. It is super simple and the colors look so nice with each other. I just love this pink color from Drew Barrymore's Flower line of cosmetics. It is very pretty and is just on overall great polish.

I created a nail art challenge for myself! It is Fourth of July, US Independence Day, themed! I made it start on the 28th. It should be fun!! I am also going to spice up my blog by writing a post about my family's tea collection. This is inspired by Chantal Halley from Chantal's Corner!

Nail Polish Used:
Flower "First Bloom"

Wet n Wild "Ebony Hates Chris"

Wet n Wild "I Need a Refresh-Mint"

Sinful Colors "Snow Me White"

NOTD: Orange Dotticure

Today's nail art was inspired by an orange bracelet! I was looking for things around my house to be inspired by when I found this. I think it would have turned out a little better if I had used a lighter orange as the base. Things to keep in mind for the future!

Nail Polish Used:
Revlon "Tangerine"
Pure Ice "Hot Tamale"
Wet n Wild "Sunny Side Up"
Sinful Colors "Cloud 9"
Diamond Cosmetics "Glitter Lites"

NOTD: Turquoise Stone

This look has been popping up all over my YouTube account! I decided it was high time to try it out. For the turquoise color, I layered "Mint Dream" on top of "I Need a Refresh-Mint". You then add a little bit of gold polish and get out your watermarble supplies. Drop a drop of black polish into the water then spray it with an alcohol based body spray or something similar. This creates a pattern like turquoise!.

Tip: To avoid getting polish on your hands when you do the water step, you can tape around your fingers or use Vaseline. I prefer the Vaseline because I really hate dealing with tape!! I also like the way the polish just slides off my fingers. :D

NOTD: Pink Lemonade!

Mmmmm, what's better than a tall glass of lemonade on a hot summer day? Not much!! I prefer to split it half lemonade and half tea to make myself an Arnold Palmer, but anything along those lines is tasty.
This was inspired by a picture my friend found on Pinterest. There seem to be a bunch of great ideas for nails on there, maybe I should look at it more often.

Nail Polish Used:
ELF "Neon Pink"
Sinful Colors "Pinky Glitter"
Diamond Cosmetics in Bold Yellow and White

NOTD: Peacocks

I was again inspired by my friend for this one! I did a peacock look a while ago but it didn't turn out so well. Here is my redemption! On my right hand, I have your normal peacock and on my left, and albino inspired peacock!! I really like how my normal peacock turned out. I think the albino needs a few changes but I am still happy,

Nail Polish Used:

I call these cows with a twist! It is adorable cow print with FFA colors as the accent nail. I would like to thank my friend Sarah who gave me the idea!! On my other hand I wrote out KS FFA, not much going on with it, it is just a feat to write the letters! My yellow nail polish crapped out so I had to use acrylic paint.
