R.I.P Talia Joy

In honor of the life of 13 year old Talia Joy a talented make-up artist and aspiring fashion desinger the nail art/polish community have decided to sport mint manis as a tribute. Talia was a very talented mae up artist whose Youtube tutorials and vlogs aabout her battle with cancer was both helpful and inspiring. You may remember her from her appreance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show where she was made an honorary Cover. Talia suffered from two forms of cancer neuroblastoma and preleukemia but sadly lost that battle early Tuesday morning. Talia inspired and touched the hearts of millions with her strength and her grace she will truley be missed.

A mint mani was last mani posted by Talia before her passing on Tuesday.

Revamped!!

With the holiday over I decided to revamp my mani, plus the stars had sharp edges and kept getting caught in my hair, clothes and other fabric. I also got a few scratches. So I did away with the blue and stars and opted for polka dots.

Happy 4th!!!

I have been a away for a while studying and had planned on posting a new look after I took the exam but I had a lil accident with a kitchen knife and my pinky. I wanted to wait until my finger healed up nicely before I introduced anything nail polish related near it and it just so happens that it healed up just in time for a 4th of July mani.

Happy Memorial Day

I did I quick and easy mani for Memorial Day.

I used Pure Ice Bite Me for my pinky and pointer finger (I think it makes a great accent). I painted the other nails white and used I make up sponge with L.A Colors Wired in a blotting motion for thumb (I went over it a couple times to get the desired shade). I then used Mash Plate # 49 for the stars. To create the stripes on my middle finger I used toothpick to apply Wet n Wild  Wild Shine Red Red. I finished with a top coat and Viola!

Spring Nail Polish Trend: Texture.

Love the idea of, glam, glittery nails but not quite ready to go full-on-glitz? This new polish combines black glitter with pastel colors giving you  pretty feminine, but with an edge. (Lesley Kennedy)

The  nail polishes featured in this newspaper article for this trend are from the Deborah Lippman Staccato collection where a bottle will make you $19 poorer.

Lazy Girl French Mani

So I asked a friend of mine to pick the colors for my next mani to which he replied "I like french tips", so that's what I did. I must admit I was feeling a lil lazy when I did his mani so I took a short cut. Instead of taping off the tip to create the white tips I decided to use a make up sponge to make the white tips, pretty much in the same fashion as if you were doing an ombre design. I added a pink heart decal to the ring finger and added a top coat and Voila!

Can a Leopard change its Spots?

Well if those spots happen to be incorporated in a nail art design then it sure can. This weeks design is a recreation of I saw over on ChitChatNails a couple weeks ago but with exams to study for I didn't really have the time to try it out. Now that I am between exams I thought I would give it a try.
