31DC2013 Day 18: Half Moons

Heeeeey there glitter gals! How are you doing this wonderful week? I hope you're all enjoying the beginning of December and getting ready for Christmas and 2014. Who would have thought the year would pass by so damn quickly?!

Anywhatever, today is half moon day and I'm so happy for this next nail art. I actually went to a First Communion and it mached my outfit and the occasion so perfectly; it was meant to be. I'll be definitely be re-doing this manicure again, it's just so pretty and formal but not boring.

Colors I used were Finger Paints Black Expressionism, my fave nude: Color Club Best Dressed List, and China Glaze Swing Baby. Finally I topped everything with Color Club Matte-ified.

To create the half moon manicure I followed this super easy tutorial by Julie Ventura that has saved my life multiple times. It's so much better and easier than using reinforcement labels.

To add a little spice, with the help of my smallest dotting tool I made small dots following the half moon outline.

I absolutely LOVED this design! I was crazy about it! It's so subtle and formal yet so sophisticated and lovely. It's something I'd love to wear again.

I hope you like this nail art as much as I did. I'll see you soon with the next challenge!

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 16: Tribal Nail Art

Heello glittery creatures!! Welcome to today's nail art nightmare... Well, first of all I gotta say it's not a complete nightmare, I think I did a pretty nice job, BUT I was afraid of the top coat dragging all my design so I took the photos without it and then I forgot to take some with it, so the photos I'll show you are indeed pretty lame...

Onto the design, it took me a chapter of The Walking Dead and half of my YouTube subscriptions and I did my left hand at night and my right hand the next morning, so yeah, to be honest it was quite a lot of work (mostly because of the straight thin lines). And I couldn't capture them in their gloriousness :(

So, beforehand I'm sooooorry about the lack of top coat.

For the base colors I used Color Club Best Dressed List, Color Club Rad Nomad, China Glaze Roguish Red and Finger Paints Lavender Highlight.

For the actuall tribal I painted thin lines with the same colors (different as the base obviously) and then with black and white polish and the help of my striper polish I did all the thin lines; and to spice it up Iadded some dots with my smalles dotting tool.

A shot of my thumb

And some love for my rightey that always gets left behind. I'm right handed so it's obviously not a very neat job.

The only shot of my hands/nails with top coat I could get from my camera roll was this one where I'm showing off my delicious post-workout meal! (It's chorizo, Swiss, broccoli and celery, in case you're wondering).

Well, I'm sorry about this lame post:( I'll make sure this won't happen again. I hope you liked it (even without the topcoat); I really loved wearing this! Got lots and lots of compliments!

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 13: Animal Print!

Heeeello, glittery puppeeeehs! Happy Hump Day! I feel like I always say this... Anyways today I got my animal print nail art to show you. I really loved this mani and I ended up wearing it for almost a week which is a lot for me lol. I didn't want to choose between ONE animal print cause I just couldn't pick a favorite so I decided to do them all! We've got a tiger-zebra-giraffe-leopard mix and match here!

My top coat bleeded and messed up with the leopard and zebra design, though it wasn't visible at hand distance nor in real life.

For these designs I used a big dotting tool, a striper nail art brush and a small nail art brush.

For the giraffe on my index I used Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow and L.A. Colors Chocolate Shimmer; to do the leopard on my middle finger I used Color Club Best Dressed List, Finger Paints Black Expressionism and again L.A. Colors Chocolate Shimmer; for the zebra on my ring finger design I used Orly White Tips and Finger Paints Black Expressionism; and finally for my tiger pinky I used China Glaze Roguish Red and Finger Paints Black Expressionism, again.

I realized during this mani that there's a severe lack of oranges and yellows in my nail polish collection... They're just not colors that I usually go for and everytime I intend to buy them I look at other colors or collections and end up buying somthing else hahah, I need to change that though!

And if you're wondering what's on my thumb it was Color Club Hydrangea Kiss paired with China Glaze Flock Together, it could be a bird-feather-print... hahaha

Anyways I hope you liked and enjoyed this as much as I did! I'll see you later this week.

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 2: Orange Nails!

You thought I had forgotten about this again? Oh, heck no!! I actually did my nails on friday but had lots of things going and could only post this until now. Besides I wore my red nails for more days than I thought... And I'm sure I'll be having my yellow post tomorrow, which happens to meet the Suicide Awareness Day that has yellow as their support color and "Love" written on the wrist as a show of support too. I'm always happy to join a cause like that:)

So... anyways here are my orange nails for the second day opf the 31 Day Challenge 2013!

For this design I used Color Club Wham! Pow! and Color Club Best Dressed List.

I love the contrast between a nude color and a neon color, and also the simplicity of this mani. I only used striping tape over Best Dressed List to make de straight lines.

This was a simple design but I really liked the color combo, I realized I didn't have lots of oranges to pick from so I ended using  this neon shade.

I hope you liked this mani and I hope to see you very soon for the third day! :)

Love, Pam♥
