Soothing Blue Floral Water Decal Nail Art

I think that this design is so girly.  The color lends itself as the uplifting colors of a clear blue sky, or the soothing ambiance of the ocean shore.

What do you think of this nail art design?

Blue Bow Nail Art | Favorite Polish

What is your favorite color and favorite nail art design?
Corals, yellows, pinks..... Those are mostly my favorite colors... very girly, very bright and cheerful.  Love happy colors!!! Although it appears that something else is a real favorite, maybe at the moment, maybe have been all along... Blue!  A friend recently help a nail art contest and she asked: "If you could be a nail polish bottle, what would you be and what color."  I answered: Maya by Zoya.  My vanity dictates that I pick a name sake and my current fave color: Coral... So why Blue?

COSMIC | The Holographic Polish from Avon

Who among us has not been bewildered by the beauty of the universe?

Artist have painted many perceptions of the world around us.  With the aide of technology, now we can have a glimpse of a whole new universe beyond.  It's such a wonder how we are able to notice and appreciate this kind of beauty.  Moreover, we are able to translate that kind of value into a our own expression of art.

First, Someone, with great wisdom and power, came up with the idea of a universe and made it happen.  Then, someone mimicked that beauty and created a very pretty polish-finish - Holos.  So that finally, we can have such beauty at our fingertips and use it to express our own creativity.  Forgive me, I am awestruck! (wink) I might try and do a Galaxy NailArt after this, but first let me show you Cosmic, Avon's version of the holographic polishes. I can't remember how many colors they released in total.  I have four to show you  ;)

When In Doubt, Just Add GLITTER | Buy Glitter Polish or Loose Glitter???

Confession time: I have a lot of Glitter :) No kidding!
Righly so, today's mani theme is none other than.... tadaah!!!

Welcome to Winter Wonderland (Practicing Left Hand Painting)

Hello Bellas!  Happy Monday... 

I hope that you had a refreshing weekend and that you are ready to set-sail for yet another week..

Here are some lovely blue-glitter mani for you.  These were done in the last week of March.  Then I hoped it'll be the last snow of the season... but then, you know?...

Here is Revlon's "Whimsical".  I thought that it really fitted the stormy weather we had that day.  The blue color is quite serene, just like the fluffy snow falling so slowly.  And the glitters are so bright and calming just like the glistening snow being carried hither-thither by the wind.  For a busy lady who loves to shine, here is a great way to have instant-nailart. Two coats and then your glam-ready :)

Revlon's Whimsical - 2 coats

I attempted painting some cherry blossoms on my left hand.  I thought the flowers are a call for spring, lol... kind of a "sprinter" effect - Spring and Winter combined.  In my part of Canada, we are surely having a lot of this sprinter right now.  For a confused weather, I bring you a confused nail art, hehehe...

Happy Winter Day!

Painting is very intimidating.  I have some challenges doing it with my dominant hand. Much more so doing it with my non-dominant hand.  But we won't know what would come out of it unless we try, right?

Here you go then, using a fine brush and globs of nail-polish, I was able to do this on my right-hand (using my left, non-dominant hand).  :D  What do you think?  Yay or nay?

Snow and Tulips

How about you, what intimidates you most?  What are you willing to do in order to overcome your fears?  Please comment below :)

Have a lovely week ahead of you my dear pretty ladies and friends!

Ciao Bellas!

The Snow Queen "Elsa" - More Glitter Fun

Elsa - The Snow Queen :)

Inspired by the iridescent and pretty blue dress that Queen Elsa from the movie "Frozen" wore, I have been thinking of glistening blue glitters.  Isn't that color just refreshingly beautiful?  I concocted a mix of various shaped loose-glitters in the same color and I was quite excited to give it a try.

Then again, removing glitter polish is a royal pain.  So...

Winter Blues of Prettiness :)

I saw a tutorial on the ever wonderful resource site - YouTube - and found a great tutorial about using glue as a basecoat.  It made removing glitter polish so easy.  It just peels off!  And yet,  the manicure still seems to remain quite hardy.  Try? Of course!  Off I go and purchased a bottle of Elmer's glue.  (While I'm at it, I also purchased more glitters, bunch of scissors, glue gun and more glitter polish, ha ha... Nailart turns into arts and crafts girls!  Not that I'm ever gonna need the hot glue gun for nail designing... Or will I?!?)

It became a Glue-as-a-basecoat and Loose-Glitter-Mixing experiment for me.  If this glue thing works, that means I'd be able to experiment more on glitters... yay!  Painlessly, you know what I mean?

Anyway... I'm planning to wear the polish design on my fingers for how ever long it will take for it to wear.  Oh wait, did I just say that?  Ouch! I always like changing my manicure... very often actually... So, we'll see... I'm just quite curious at how long it will last.


While I contemplate on that idea, please let me know if you like this design or not?  I thought I was able to capture a little bit of  the blue from Queen Elsa's gown...  It's a really nice pop of color against my big black down-feather coat.  Although in the end, it might have been great to have some different hues to add depth. Oh well, as dear Miss PiNK says, "we try and try again".  Practice makes perfect they say, right? I'm gonna try making different combinations.  I placed the flowers to make the design more feminine.  But it's more on trying out the loose glitters actually.

I'll be posting more pics on this design as well as the glue results next :)  I was just really excited to share my design with you...
What do you think? Did it work?
