I understand these colors may be a bit bright for some folks, but don’t knock it til you try it!! Or even try a different color combo..the green is just in time for St. Patrick’s Day anyway!

I used:

China Glaze- White on White & In the Lime Light (from sally beauty supply)

Nina Ultra Pro- Mermaid (from Sally’s too)

LA Colors Art Deco- Bright Green
(from Nigel’s Beauty Emporium)

Beauty Secrets Hardener Top Coat
(from Sally’s)

and that’s it!!

Nail Art Tutorial – Morality Monkeys or Monkey See Monkey Do Zodiac Design for Short Nails

admin — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 00:45:08 +0000

okay monkey lovers, this one is for you. you can bring them with you anywhere you go (whether you like it or not).

My friend is getting married soon and she is thinking of getting her manicures done for the wedding. So of course i offered my services but guess what she said? ” can you do french tips?” i said “No i can’t………..but i can do monkeys”

i guess i can’t blame her for rejecting my offer. hehehe

Nail Art Tutorial – Sleeping Bear-UT (Beauty) for short nails

admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 01:38:07 +0000

When i had the design in my head, i thought it would be super cute and super easy. 5 Dots for the bear head plus 2 for the paws. i thought my dotting skills would manage that no problem. But when i filmed it, it took more than 7 dots. Mostly because the Dots were all different sizes and my tools don’t have that kind of variety so it took a bit longer to do. i’m not so confident with my drawing skills. What was i thinking anyways if i wanted super easy i should have just gone for the Konad. hehe but they dont have a bear design yet…and i only have 3 image plates. hehehe

I mostly have Missha Nail Polishes and a bunch of 2 way nail art pens. Because i live in Australia and brands like OPI China Glaze Essie are not readily available here so i have to order everything online. I am getting more colors soon so can’t wait.
