31DC2013 Day 26: Inspired by a Pattern!!

Hello, lovelies! Happy Wednesday!! We're almost done with this 31 Day Challenge (Finally!) I always quit everything so it feels good to actually finish something even if it took you the last months and two nail breaks.

Today I've got a special pattern I'd chosen ages ago specifically for this challenge, I found it on Pinterest and knew it was going to be my "Inspired by a Pattern", well, inspiration.

Here's the nail art I made based on it:

I used China Glaze White On White as my base, then with my smallest dotting tool and black acrylic paint I made tiny polka dots. I mixed China Glaze With Love with White On White for the different shades of red and pink and created the roses and finally added some leaves with Color Club Rule Breaker.

I really loved the result and how it turned out, I uploaded it to Instagram and tagged China Glaze and a couple days later they liked it! And I fangirled obviously! Haha I was very happy wearing it and I wore it for a whole week until it chipped. I hope you liked this nail art, see you later this week for more!

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 25: Inspired by Fashion

As I told you I'm back! Today I'm showing you my "Inspired by Fashion" design. What inspired me was the gorgeous Jennifer Lawrence and the way they dress her in the most amazing way every time she goes to an event. The dress I chose is an Alexander McQueen she wore for Catching Fire premiere in Madrid.

Here's my nail art trying to do some justice to this beautiful dress (I couldn't).

I used Color Club Cold Metal as my base color and white acrylic paint for the details. Then I used Color Club Matte-Ified to give it the matte finish.

In person the blue looked different, a little more royal blue but I just realized I don't own a royal blue!! And I actually went shopping for one but ended up buying China Glaze Crinkled Chrome collection... Oops!

Hope you liked this small and quick post, but as I said I'll be posting everyday until I finish this challenge! 

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 24: Inspired by a Book!

Heeeey guys!! I'm sorry for the lack of posts but my laptop broke down and I couldn't post a thing during all this time... But obviously I continued my challenge as if nothing had happened and even though it's 2014 now (yay!) I'll keep calling it the 31 Day Challenge 2013. Maybe next time I do it later this year I'll take less time;)

Anyways, the book I read during the winter break was John Green's "The Fault In Our Stars". I really liked it, but I did not cry as I thought I would, only shed a tear or two.

Here's the cover of my book so you can see it if you haven't, which I doubt it lol.

And here's my nail art inspired by it. OF COURSE I had to use the "Okay?" "Okay." phrase, c'mon! It's the whole spirit of the book!

I used China Glaze Shower Together mixed with a couple drops of Nina French White (I was on a trip and just brought a few polishes). For the details I used black and white acrylic paint and Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow, China Glaze Cranberry Splash and China Glaze Shower Together.

I hope you liked this mani, and I've got plenty more for a daily basis for now;)

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 23: Inspired By A Movie

Heeeeey there glitter fellas! After a long holiday break I'm back! For this special occasion I chose a movie I just saw and I loved: Frozen.

I didn't really know how to represent Anna and Elsa, like I'm not very good at drawing faces so I went for the colors that symbolized them; and, of course, Olaf!

Elsa's hues are more icy and light blue shades and Anna's are warmer, and I just couldn't ignore that gorgeous royal blue/pink colorblock on her dress!

For my thumb and ring fingers I used Color Club Blue Heaven as my base color, then with acrylic paint I painted the snowflake and Olaf.

On my pinky I painted three coats of China Glaze Glitening Snow.

On my index and middle fingers I used China Glaze White On White as my base color then painted one coat of Color Club S'il Vous Plaît and finally with my striping brush I painted thin lines with Color Club Overboard, Color Club Best Dressed List and China Glaze Shower Together (index); and China Glaze For Audrey, Color Club Hydrangea Kiss and China Glaze Shower Together mixed with China Glaze White On White for a lighter shade of blue.

I'm sorry about not posting this week but I'm already doing my next nail art, so I'll see you sooner rather than later ;)

I hope you liked this Inspired By Frozen nail art, I know it's simple but I think it's cute. Btw, I'm sorry about my topcoat dragging the polish on my index:( Hate when that happens! Anyways, I'll see you soon! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!! :D :D 

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 22: Inspired By A Song!

Hi there glitter creatures of the world! Happy Monday!! Today for "Inspired By A Song" I chose one of my fave Christmas songs of all times: Frosty The Snowman!

I really like this song because its ending makes you go "Aww" without being sad, if that makes sense...

Anyways, ALSO I just started working with acrylic paints (black and white) and oh my goodness it's so much easier!!! I can't believe it took me this long to buy them! So I took the time and made this freehand nail art much more  detailed. And it only took me around half hour.

The blue base is China Glaze For Audrey and the white one is China Glaze White On White, the glitter is Orly Tiara, and the colors I used for the details include China Glaze Cranberry Splash, Color Club Wham! Pow! and China Glaze Water You Waiting For. As I said the white and black details are acrylic paint.

The thumb is the pipe Frosty has, the index is Frosty (obviously) and the ring is Frosty melting down.

A little love for the pipe...

I reaaaally enjoyed this nail art, it wasn't hard and I think acrylic paints really made the difference. I loved how it turned out and I hope you like it as much as I did!

Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope everyone's wishes come true and you all get to spend it with your beloved ones. ♥

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 21: Inspired By A Color

Heeeeey there glitter loves! How's it going? It's been a whole long week, huh? I'm just posting this now because sadly my index nail broke terribly!! And it hurt even more! This happened last Saturday and until this Wednesday my nail stopped hurting, I cut my other nails (The Nailasaurus style) so they would match and I painted them, so yeah I'm sorry I'm just posting this now.

Alright, now after my sad sad story here's my "Inspired By A Color" nail art. This goes for coloooor RED. But like in festive, holiday-esque, Christmas-y red. I was inspired by Cranberry Splash from last year's China Glaze Holiday Joy Collection, which is a red I love to wear by itself of with nail art or on my toes.

The red is China Glaze Cranberry Splash, the green is Color Club Rule Breaker and the white is China Glaze White On White.

For the thumb, middle and ring fingers I used my striper brush and my next thinnest brush. First I created the thin red lines then the wider ones with two stokes of my thin brush, then I painted the green line above them with my striper brush.

For my index and pinky I used my thin brush and did a "star" design then at the edge of every line I added some V shaped details; finally I added some tiny dots with my brush.

I really loved this design. I think it's a perfect Christmas design and it's not so in-your-face-holiday. I also really liked rocking them on my tiny nails, it was the only thing that made me feel better about my shorties :c

I hope you liked it and I'm gonna be sooner than you think for another Inspired By/Christmas nail art.

Ps.: Am I the only one that this Inspired By A Color sounds a lot like Sesame Street's "Today was brought to you by coloooor RED and letter R!" lol

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 20: Water Marble

Hello there glittery criatures of Planet Earth, it's almost Friday!!

Today is water marble day and I have to say I had an exhausting time with this one. I'm not very good at it and about a year ago I was obsessed with Colette's videos from My Simple Little Pleasures. I wasted a TON of nail polish, so for this particular challenge I decided to buy cheap ones from Wal-Mart since a friend had told me once they worked pretty good and they're only $10 pesos which is less than a dollar. I picked up a violet and green one and decided to give China Glaze Shower Together a go since I remember it worked and I hadn't used it in a while.

So yeah I did like eight attemps and only like six were the ones used for my both hands. It was all messy and took a long time but here it is.

Sooo technically the polishes I used are so cheap they didn't even had a name lol but the blue is China Glaze Shower Together and my white base is Nina French White.

Also, that beautiful glitter is Finger Paints Peacock Portrait. Look at those colors!! I saw it at Sally and couldn't help buying it instantly! Finger Paints has some really awesome glitters and this is definitely one of those.

Some more love to that glitter...

I liked the final result and was very happy to wear it. Also, Peacock Portrait is a glitter that will easily go to my most-used stash! The colors are so beautiful that I specifically tried to use the same colors and I'm telling you in person it looked pretty good.

Hope you enjoyed this and I'll see on my next post;) As I said before, the next part of the challenge it's all gonna be Inspired By Christmas... Song, Movie, Book, etc. I'm so looking forward to start it!

Love, Pam♥
