Our Solar System Nails

Hi! Today's nails are: Space! There was another Instasgram contest and the theme was space. I didn't want to do the typical Galaxy nails that were already flooding the entry page so I decided to do our Solar System instead. Unfortunately, I couldn't put Pluto as it is no longer a planet (it still is in my heart).

And yes, Uranus does have a ring, it's just really really small.

Anime Nails: Fairy Tail

Sorry for no post on Sunday, I had a pretty hectic weekend (too much homework!). Anyways, I made another themed design but instead of Kpop or Jpop, it's Anime themed! More specifically, Fairy Tail. This show is great! For any anime fans out there I definately recommend this show. It's a magic-based anime about a young wizard, Lucy, who uses keys to summon spirits to fight bad guys. Along with Natsu, a fire wizard, Grey, an ice wizard, and Erza, a wizard with the ability to summon any weapon/armour, she fights bad guys and saves the world. And before you think it's a really girly show it actually isn't. There's some light adult humor and quite a bit of fighting. It's made by FUNimation so if you guys want to check it out, they have all of the episodes (both sub & dub) on their youtube page (located here). Enough of that, on to the nails!

The index finger is one of Lucy's keys, specifically Taurus (yes they're Zodiac keys). The middle finger is the official Fairy Tail symbol. The ring finger is the character Happy, a flying, talking cat. The pinky is the pattern of the scarf that Natsu always wears.

Colours used (excluding base & top): Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - "Bubble Gum Pink", "Blew Me Away". Sally Hanson Hard As Nails - "White Tip". Sally Hanson Insta-Dri - "Quick Sand'. O.P.I - "Black Onyx". Nicole by O.P.I - "One Voice". NYC - "Madison Avenue". Witchcraft Nail Art - "Sky Blue".

Dotted Tips

Sorry that I couldn't really post too much this week or last. I've had a pile of homework and I'm in the middle of working out plans to join Ultimate Frisbee (yes it's actually a sport). So anyways, I had a bit of time last night to do a quick new design. I thought that this was so cute and super easy to do.

Here's a pic of the nails with my flash on because you can see the bow's colour much better with it.

Alice In Wonderland Nails

Hooray! There's another contest on instagram and the theme for this one is: movies! I was so excited when I saw this because I had a great excuse to finally do these Alice In Wonderland nails. This is one of my favourite movies and I was so happy doing these nails. I'm especially proud of the caterpillar on my left index finger, he was hard to do but totally worth it.

Colours used (excluding base & top): Sally Hanson - "Emerald City", "Sun Kissed", " White Tip", "Liliac". O.P.I - "Fly", "Black Onyx". Nicole by O.P.I - " One Voice".

Easter Nails & Plaid

Sorry for the late post, I had to go visit family for the Easter weekend and I didn't get a chance to post anything. So to make up for my absence, two designs!

First up: Easter Nails. I didn't have a whole lot of time to do these so I just did a simple scene with eggs and little chicks (I know, they look awkward).

Colours used (excluding base & top): Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - "Mint Sorbet", "Lacey Lilac", "Green With Envy". Sally Hanson Hard As Nails - "White Tip". Avon - "Sunshine". Witchcraft Nail Art " Sky Blue".

The second design is: Plaid! I've wanted to do plaid for a while and when I had no other design to do I figured I'd do this. I like the little bit of shimmer from the silver compared to the other non-shimmer polishes.

Colours used (excluding base & top): Sally Hanson Xtreme Wear - "Green With Envy". O.P.I - "Black Onyx". Avon - "Sunshine". Witchcraft Nail Art - "Silver".

YTF Pride Nails!

So I was on Instagram and I found out that YTF (Ryan Higa, KevJuma, Chester See, Andrew Garcia, JR Aquino, Victor King and D-Trix) has an account just for fan pics. When I looked at some of the pictures there were nail designs but...let's just say most just used a marker. So I've decided to show MY YTF pride and what better way than with a nail design (since that's all I can do). Unfortunately, JR's name was really hard to write so his name is a bit squished.
