Red and White Flower Nails

Red and White Flower Nails

So, I did these nails on my mom for a special occasion. Now, like any other Asian mom, she always yells at me for buying a shit ton of nail polish, and about how I'm going to get cancer and stuff. She doesn't like her nails painted often. However, after I finished painting them, she was gawking at them for days! HA, Mom, you're just as vain as I. ;) 

Punk Stars and Checkerboard Nails

Punk Stars and Checkerboard Nails

Did these a while back. A little secret, I actually did this over the Hello Kitty French Tip Nails (http://uponarooftop.blogspot.com/2013/05/so-i-took-this-picture-couple-days-old.html) that I posted as well. I think the hello kitty ones were old, and I didn't want to redo the french tip, so I just painted over it (with the all-powerful OPI Alpine Snow), and added a bunch of checkers and stars and crap. (I probably took the two pictures on the same day, tbh) ;) 

Twilight Apple Sparkle Nails

Twilight Apple Sparkle Nails

My bestfriend and I were on a mission: Sparkle-fy erryythaanngg. So we pretty much just layered on sparkles after sparkles. Then we were like "we should take pictures with a prop" and this is what resulted. Below is a picture with the focus on the nails. Now, I'm not a fan of the twilight series. However, I did read all the books in their entirety, due mainly to my OCD and need for closure. ;)

Pink and Black, Novice Level Freehand Nail Design

Pink and Black, Novice Level Freehand Nail Design

Another free-handed design. I much prefer the design on the thumb, but I did this a long time ago, and I didn't have the skill to do the flower on all 10 fingers! haha 

Moral of the Story: Practice makes perfect! 

Btw, the last few uploads aren't really in order of when I did them. I just decided to upload a crapload of photos, since I'm currently stuck at a party with my mom's friends, and managed to find internet. 

Dark Purple and White Flower Nails

Dark Purple and White Flower Nails

I think the polish is Eiffel For This Color by OPI, the flowers I bought a long time ago from CVS or something. The thing about the stickers is that the nails have to be absolutely dry for them to stick. A couple of the flowers started falling off or moving around when I was writing. 

Short Nails Hot Pink Sparkles

Hot Pink Short Nails, Hearts, and Sparkles

Free handed design. Used a nail dotter for the dots, obviously... and various polishes. This is a great look for short nails! I did them on my friend for her prom. 

Coral Love Hearts Nails

Coral Love Hearts Nails

This one was free-handed. I used a coral colored Ulta nail polish, and one of those nail art pens from Sally Hansen. 

Hello Kitty Nails

Hello Kitty French Tip Nails

So I took this picture a couple days old, and they were kind of messed up by the time I remembered to snap a shot. Once again, I used a konad plate (Yea, I cheated). In my defense, it's really easy to use, and I recommend using konad plates for beginners, because it gives you the type of look you want, saves time, and lends practice. 

This was back when I didn't have a DSLR, so picture quality isn't that great, sorry! 

Dark Red Lace Nails

Dark Red Lace Nails

Anyone who knows me knows I'm actually a rather dark person. I did these nails using a dark red nail polish from ulta (the name of which I cannot recall at the moment, and I am not near my collection), and used a konad plate off amazon to do the lace over with a black polish. The lace is subtle, and only really visible under camera flash. I like these because they're rather elegant looking, right? ;)
