Bold Cupcake Nails

I decided to do cupcake nails. I'm not sure if I like the choice of colors though. It probably would have looked better with softer pastel colors. It was my first time using acrylic paint on nails, so I wasn't sure how it would go. Oh well, there's always next weekend! Here's what I used:

Base Coat-China Glaze First and Last
Zoya in Penelope
Oumaxi Acrylic Paints
Sally Hansen Top Coat

Matte Nail Art

I've been seeing a lot of people do black matte nails and wanted to give matte nail polish a try. Here's a twist to you traditional matte nail polish. I used:

NYC Skin Tight Denim
NYC Matte Me Crazy
Konad Plate M19 with White Special polish
Mash Plate 06 with Konad Black Special polish

Konad Pedicure

This weekend I wanted to try using Konad on my toes. It didn't go as smoothly as I anticipated but here's what I used:

Base coat-China Glaze First and Last
Base color: OPI Tulsa Tootsie Roll-A
Konad Special polish in White
Konad Top Coat
Konad plate M78

I must say, It was hard to "roll" the stamper on my tiny little toes. Since I missed a few spots, I covered it up with a yellow 3D nail sticker. :-)

Konad Nail Art

My base color for this design is OPI "All that razz-berry". I used Konad plate # M78 with white Konad special polish. I topped it off with Konad's top coat that I recently purchased. Surprisingly I really like this top coat. It's not too thick and leaves a nice shine.

Easter Nail Art

I used a pink pastel base by Orly (purchased from Sally's) for all of my nails and then drew the designs using my Nail Star Art pens purchased from eBay. The baby chick and bunny bow is from a fimo clay rod that was sliced and glued to my nails.

Leopard/Cheetah print nail art

My leopard print nails using a Mash stamping plate and black Konad special polish. It worked so much better than regular polish! For the inside of the leopard, I used Avon plum and bronze polish applying it with a dotting tool and topped everything off with a Sally Hansen top coat.

China Glaze Crushed Candy

This is China Glaze Crushed Candy Crackle over a hot pink polish.
