Nude Dots

Hey everyone,

I feel very happy about my nails today, I tried do do a nude nail french tip thing with dots.

I am going to make this quick because my computer is dying and for some reason the power jack isn't working so this might be my last post for a while.


Tools:

  • Color Club: Nomadic in Nude
  • Color Club: Earthy Angel
  • Kleancolor: White
  • MASH dotting tool

The following pictures are with regular indoor light and the other with florescent light.


First I applied the base colour which was Nomadic in Nude. I didn't realize how streaky it was until I was done, but it's not noticeable. 


 I then I added the white dots using my small dotting tool at the top of my nails.


I then added the brown dots using Earthy Angel at the top of my nail yet again filling in some of the spaces, making it a more defined looking tip.

I hope you enjoyed this post.

Ta-ta for now,
Kelly-Ann.

Spring Challenge 5: Rainbow


Howdy ladies,

Tonight I am a few mins late but it is done and I do like the way it turned out and I hope you do as well. Spring Challenge 5 Rainbow.


Tools:
  • Simple Pleasures: Purple
  • JLB: NL 01
  • BB Paris: Key Lime Pie
  • Sinful Colors: Hazard
  • Color Club: New Bohemian
  • Gems
  • MASH nail brush


Here it is...


First I chose my base colours that were colours from the rainbow.


I then used a brush to add t triangle to the edge in an attempt to make it look like the colours are leading from one nail to the other.


I then added some gems to the tip of the triangle to give it some pizzazz .. hope I pulled it off.

That's all folks I hope you liked what I came up with.

Spring Challenge 4: Bugs! (Yucky!)

Hello peoples,

UGH! i'm like an hour late. But anyway here it is. It is not what I wanted it to be. :-( It was extremely messy and it was my first time working with this glue and glitter, first attempt=FAIL! The color scheme I chose was blue and purple.


Tools:

  • Simple Pleasures: purple
  • Color Club: Trippie Hippie
  • Recollections glitter: Peacock
  • MASH fan brush
  • Best Glue Ever
  • Bundle Monster: Gems



For the base colour I used the Simple Pleasures purple polish. It is a very nice and smooth polish but the brush that it comes with is the worst thing ever, so if you do buy this set or brand, I would advise to buy a brush to use with it or borrow one from an old bottle, just avoid using the brush it came with, however I did work with it, took some patience but it worked.


I used the Color Club's Trippie Hippie to sponge on to create a gradient (attempted to make a gradient). Then I used the Best Glue Ever to try and draw on my creepy crawlies, and then sprinkle the glitter on and lightly use the fan brush to brush away the excess. I do think I went a little too heavy on the glue because I ended up brushing the glue and glitter and scrambling it up. (Pictures of the creepy crawlies are below saying what they were supposed to be.)

I added some gems by Bundle Monster.


This is the finished product with the flash.


I attempted to make a spider and smushed all the glue, when I mashed it up I had to use a little of the Trippie Hippie to outline it.


This was an ant..a very pretty ant...hehe. this one came out a little better, but not how I wanted it,, you get the idea.


See you later,
Kelly-Ann.

Spring Challenge 3: Fruits and Dots

Hi everyone,

I am so sorry I'm late with this, I was in the process of moving from one apartment to the other, and I had some school assignments due so those had to be priority. To make up for my lateness I had done 3 things for you: This challenge, a look at a colour I had previously purchased, and also a video haul. Of course they will be separate posts and they won't all be chucked up in this one post. 



Anyway, without further a due here is Challenge 3: Fruits and Dots. The colours I had chosen was yellow and green. I honestly did not like the way they turned out, so I ended up rubbing them off afterward. I was also rushing so please excuse if I didn't clean up my nails.

Tools:
  • MASH dotting tool
  • Bundle Monster plate BM04
  • EBay plate m30
  • Kleancolor: Popping Green
  • Kleancolor: Black
  • Milani: Yellow Whiz
  • Rimmel: French Lingerie



And it Begins...

I first did a single coat of Rimmel's French Lingerie

Then added so dots using the Yellow Whiz at the top and The Popping Green at the bottom.

Then I added another layer of the French Lingerie just to lightly show the dots through.

Then I added more dots on top of that layer being careful not to really cover the underlying dots.

Then lastly, I added my fruit stamps in the Black. I honestly did not like the way it turned out, and you could probably see I tried it with the white stamp at first but that didn't work out too well.

Spring Challenge 2: Flowers and Stripes

HI everybody!

So excited about today's submission for the Spring Challenge by Purple Glitters. This challenge was stripes and flowers and the colour combination I chose was pink and green.
I really hope you like what I came up with.


Tools:

  • NYC: High Line Green
  • Kleancolor: Popping Green
  • Milani Jewel FX: Fuchsia
  • Wet n' Wild: Dreamy Poppy
  • MASH dotting tool

HEre is the base colour which is the NYC High Line Green. And please excuse the smudge on my thumb that you will see throughout. :-D


Next I used the Kleancolor Popping green on 2 fingers.


Added the Milani Fuchsia... not too sure if I had liked it at first but in the final product I fell in love with it.


HEre is the finished product, which you can see I added the tiny flowers using my MASH dotting tool witht he colour Dreamy Poppy by Wet n' Wild.


HEre is the final product with the flash (which makes me look extra white...ugh)

I am soooo happy with the way this turned out. I hope you enjoyed this as much I did.

Spring Challenge 1: Love & Life


Hi everyone...I was supposed to post this yesterday but my day got sooooo busy I couldn't even post it, and the funny thing is that I did my nails from Thursday night. But with further delay here it is My first in Spring Challenge by Purpler Glitters.


The first theme is Love and Life, the colour combination I chose was Pink and Orange.

Tools:

  • Bundle Monster Plate: BM 03 
  • MASH Plate: m 63
  • JLB 04
  • Confetti: Conga Line
  • Nina Ultra Pro: Fuchsia Rage
  • Shades of the Season: Glitter Pink
  • Konad Stamp and Scraper



Base Colour:
This base colour was a beautiful light colour, however it was the first time using this brand (JLB) which was not very smooth but I made it work, don't think I'd buy this brand again.

I saw this pattern and decided to use it from my MASH plate set m63. I used the Shades of the Season Glitter pink and i thought it came out sooooo lovely.

I then added these cute little hearts from my Bundle Monster plate BM 03 using Confetti's Conga Line which is a lovely shimmery orange. This came out very cute.

Ok this is where I went wrong, u added the additional heart with wings using the same Bundle Monster plate which I do think was a bad decision using the same Confetti Conga Line. I then use the Nina Ultra Pro: Fuchsia Rage to fill in the heart(another bad decision.) 

Here is the finished product with the flash.

All in all I love the fingers but not the thumb, I think I took it a little too far.

Anyway, that's it for now...see u for the next Spring Challenge on the list.

Spring Toes

Hi everyone,

I'm so sorry that I haven't done anything lately, I'm trying to keep my finger nails clean until the 14th for the Spring Challenge by Purple Glitters. I'm so excited about it. But anyway, while leaving my nails clean it was time for my toes to get a little attention. 

I did the same patern I had on my fingers last time but with more spring colours. I really love this pattern.


Tools:

  • Milani: Yellow Whiz 
  • Kleancolor: Neon Aqua (The blue colour)
  • Shades of the Season: Powder Pink
  • Revlon: Sassy (green dots)
  • Confetti: Centerstage (the base colour purple)

Here's a close-up of the pattern.


I really love this purple, it is so smooth and shimmers in the light.


Look out for the upcoming challenges!!
And also I'm gaining more followers and I am sooo excited about that. Once I reach 50 or100 followers I hope to hold my first giveaway.

See you soon!

Feeling Patriotic

Hello lovelies,

I really like my nails today, when I did this I was feeling very patriotic. As many of you would know I am Jamaican and you already know what colours this is going to involve. I was inspired by Nail Polish War's 'For Your En-Zoya-Ment'. Great nail artist to follow.



Here are the tools I used:

Kleancolor: Black
Kiss Nail Art Paint: Gold Glitter
NYC: High Line Green
Milani: Yellow Whiz
Hard Candy: Matte-ly In Love top coat
Beauty Secrets: Base coat
MASH dotting tool

First of all I hate cleaning up black nail polish (Kleancolor: Black). The first picture is what it looks like before I clean up...or my attempt to clean up HA!


Then I add the yellow dots (Milani: Yellow Whiz) using both sides of the dotting tool just to get different sizes.


I then repeated the same thing except with the NYC : High Line Green.


Even though that completed the flag colours, it felt incomplete, so I decided to use some gold glitter to put some real gold in it (the colours are after all really black, green and gold). 


I decided to try my new Hard Candy: Matte-ly In Love matte top coat and I must say I do love how it came out. However I guess I didn't really wait long enough for the dots to dry and some of the dots dragged just a little bit but not noticeably that I had to rub it off. 

So I guess my one advice is to let it dry a little longer to ensure it is completely dry before applying the top coat.

I hope you enjoyed this entry... I did ;-)

Take care,
Kelly-Ann.
