Like most kids born in the 80's, I grew up playing Super Mario Brothers on the original Nintendo. I've wanted to do a Mario nail design for a while, and since my parents recently unearthed my old Nintendo console while cleaning the garage, I thought now was the perfect time.
Here is the second look inspired by my latest Rocksbox delivery. These gold Lattice Earrings by Matterial Fix were another fun and easy look to recreate. At first I debated making these Easter-y with Easter colors, but opted for a clean white instead.
I got this beautiful Cicily Necklace by Perry Street in my most recent Rocksbox, so I decided to do a couple looks inspired by the jewelry I received. Tomorrow's post will feature the earrings that came with this necklace. I loved the blue in this necklace, and the art deco feel, so I kept the nail design simple.
Happy Easter everyone! Hope you are having a fun filled day with family and friends. I decided to do a more "grown up" look for my Easter nails this year. The black accents over the pastel blue really give the design a more classic feel, and I'm always a fan of negative space.
This is the 13th look in my Disney series! Sleeping Beauty! I debating whether to even write a tutorial for this since I didn't really do pictorial pics (I was in a hurry), but here is it anyway.
Another abstract look. For this design, I combined the salt technique with some water spotting, then of course added some studs. The salt reminded me of craters on the moon, and then the polish I used for the spotting is called "Shoot the Moon," so these became moon themed nails.
These kind of look like galaxy nails, but I was trying a new watercolor technique. The final effect reminds me a little of the plastic bag technique, but I like this one better. I chose purple and white polish over the black base color because I wanted a lot of light and dark contrast.
There's no tutorial for this, but I just wanted to share my X-Men nails with you all! I'm a HUGE Marvel comics fan, so I wanted to do a comic book themed nail. For these, I just painted a white base color, then used black acrylic paint for the "sketches" of Wolverine, Cyclops, and Storm.
FINALLY getting back to my Disney series. I combined two polishes for this look, so there will be one less mani than planned, but they both were for Maleficent and looked great together.
Even though it is far from summer, this weather has been pretty summery, and it is making me want to go to Hawaii. With that in mind, I decided to do something tropical with some quick stamping, and the added a stud and some glitter.
I saw these flashing nail art elements, and thought I should try it out. I went with the heart shaped sticker and some +Bundle Monster stamping for the letters. I kept the design simple to let the heart shine (literally and figuratively).
