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 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 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♥

31DC2013 Day 15: Delicate Pattern

Heeeeey there glittery puppies! Happy Monday! As I promised I'm back, and I'm bringing you this time my "Delicate Print" design.

At first I wanted to re-create a beautiful french manicure chain design Julie Ventura uploaded a few weeks ago, but after a couple tries with different colors but I gave up and went to Pinterest for inpiration and found this image that seemed so pretty and "delicate" so I went for that.

Here's my "delicate print" design inspired by it (and with a different color combo).

The colors I used were Color Club Silver Lake as my base and Color Club Hydrangea Kiss for the details.

I feel in love the moment I grabbed Silver Lake cause it's such a pretty neutral color, perfect for a subtle base!

I painted my nails with two coats of Silver Lake and with my striper brush and Hydrangea Kiss I painted a couple stripes on my fingers and some more on my accent nails. Then with my small brush I painted the tiny petals, although I think if there wasn't for the stem they could 100% pass as hearts.

I feel really satisfied with this design, and more because my top coat didn't drag all the polish, which *spoiler* will have to do with the post for my next design :'( 

Anyways, I hope you liked this nail art as much as I liked wearing it! See you later this week, byeeeeee.

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 12: Stripes!

Well, hello there glittery puppeeeeehs! Happy Saturday! Today I've got my stripes design for you. I had already done a stripes design for orange day and I actually didn't mean to do a design that was intended for a different day but it just happened andI forgot I had a stripes day. Anyways, I really liked this and I also enjoyed it because  of the lovely glitter polish I used here! I feel like it's kind of a mermaid-y look which is awesome!

The colors I used were China Glaze For Audrey (my fave blue ever) as my base color and China Glaze Water You Waiting For.

I simply painted my nails with two coats of For Audrey let it dry completely and then placed 6-7 pieces of striping tape in diagonal. I made sure it was stuck and the edges didn't come up and painted two fine coats of Water You Waiting For and immediately removed the tape with the help of some tweezers.

My neighbor liked it so much she asked me to do her nails just like mine, lol.

I hope you enjoyed this manicure and like itas much as I liked wearing it and feeling like a small part of me was meant to be mermaid-ian. Have a nice safe Saturday! See you next week;)

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 5: Blue Nails!

Hi, there rainbow ponies!! How you doing? Hope you're doing great! I wish I was doing great buttttt ohmygod! I still can't get over my broken nail and that I had to chop the rest of my nails:'(

I guess I'll have to get used to this and rock my baby nails while they grow.

Today I did a simple blue manicure featuring glequins! At first I was like "Blue? Def using China Glaze For Audrey" but then I realized I used that blue too much and that I needed to use some other blue polishes I have so I went for Color Club Cold Metal!

I also realized I've been doing simple designs for all these color series for the 31 Day Challenge, which is good because that means I haven't used designs for any other day.

Anyways, here it is! The blue day!! (Excuse my super tiny baby nails)

As I said the color I used is Color Club Cold Metal, obviously, with topcoat but it looks really different with and without topcoat. It looks like a metallic blue without topcoat and it has more of a denim finish with topcoat.

I applied the silver glequins with nail glue and used two topcoats over the design. It's a glequin french mani!

My nails are soooo small!!! Like the difference is huge! Wow, I won't get over this in at least a couple more days...

I hope you liked this manicure that looked so cute with all the tiny nails -.- , still cute though.

Love, Pam♥

Circus Dots!

Hi, there colorful butterflies!! Happy friday!! I hope you have lots of plans for this weekend, I only have a party for some friends that are leaving town, whom I'll miss LOTS:(

Well, today I've got this colorful circus-inspired nail art that made me think about clowns and zebras with mohawks on their heads ( kidding I don't like circus with animals): ). Anyways the color combo really felt like a circus on my hands and was very eye-catching and fun.

My base color is a very soft and rpetty pink (didn't have name, sorry), the blue is China Glaze For Audrey, the green is China Glaze Running in Circles, the red-ish orange is China Glaze Roguish Red and the yellow is Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow.

I simply painted my nails with two coats of my base color, let it dry and with my small and large dotting tool I places my dots in a upside down V shape... kinda.

One more pic just for the heck of it;)

I hope you liked this nail art, cause I sure enjoyed wearing it!! Haha, see you tomorrow with another nail art and getting ready for the 31 Day Challenge!!! *squeals* This will be fun! I'm already thinking my nail art!! :D

Have a great friday!! TGIF!;)

Love, Pam♥

In The Navy;)

Hello, pampered unicorns! Hope you're having a beautiful thursday, the highlight of my day was giving my dogs a bath but it was a pretty hilarious thing to do lol.

Anyways, today I've got another oldie that I loved while wearing it but since I'm  a perfectionist there were a few things I wanted to fix but whatever, I still liked it a lot.

Here's a navy-inspired mani I first saw on Pinterest, that's actually from Pshiiit according to the watermark but I couldn't find the link; I only saw it on Pinterest and adored it so I tried to do it and even though it wasn't the exact same replica I feel pleased with myself.

For this mani I used China Glaze With Love, Color Club Naughty-Cal Navy and Orly White Tips as well as my small dotting tool, small brush and striping tape.

For my thumb and middle finger I used two coats of White Tips, then I used my striping tape and went over them with one coat of Naughty-Cal Navy. It had its minor issues that I fixed with my small brush. Then for the anchor on my ring finger I freehanded the form and added details. Finally for my index and pinky I just painted with two coats of With Love and one coat of Naughty-Cal Navy and with my dotting tool simply added some polka dots.

I hope you liked this mani, I'm sorry about the cuticles but I'm no expert, I'm still learning:)

Thanks for reading! And I'll see tomorrow for another nail art.

Love, Pam♥

Colorblock ft. Dots!

Hello, lacquered unicorns! Happy monday to all of you! I know how mondays may suck but I'm on finals and I'm kinda sad I won't be having another ugly monday hating school:( Anyways, today I bring you this nail art based on Polish You Pretty's nail art tutorial. I looooved these colors together + the girls at PYP are always bringing up some very cool nail art! They were the first blog I ever saw when I started doing nail art, and by starting I mean putting three dots at the corner of my nail and even that would come out wrong!! Hahaha but practice makes perfect and I'm still learning but here it is.

I followed the tutorial, except I didn't use stripe tape and freehanded straight lines instead. The tools I used were scotch tape (for the division), a small dotting tool and a small nail art brush.

The colors I used were Finger Paints Black Expressionism, China Glaze Shower Together and China Glaze Surreal Appeal. I loved the way these last two colors worked together and how beautiful they looked. A combo I'll def use in the future!

Here's an indoors shot with natural lightning, so you can see it better.

The color changes a lot, huh? I hoped you liked this mani, and I'll see you soon pretty pretty unicorns!

Love, Pam♥

Blue Gradient + Glitter!

Good afternoon sexy unicorns!! How are you feeling today? I'm feeling kinda down, don't know why... And I said to myself "Hey girl! We should def post some old nail art today!" and I was like "Yeah! Great idea!" So here I am.

I made this some time ago and I think it was my very first complete gradient nail art (my first try was for Valentine's Day). Back then I was also so very excited about my new China Glaze acquisitions... Bling It On and Graffiti Glitter! So I decided to use one of them here. I had heard so many good things about that collection that as soon as it came out here I bought my favorites!!

Well, in the end this is how it ended up looking like:

I used Orly White Tips, China Glaze For Audrey and China Glaze Shower Together to make the gradient using a make-up sponge.

Then I added one coat of China Glaze Bling It On to make it look more interesting and complex. Bling It On is a black and blue glitter on a clear base and it's really amazing and beautiful!!

Btw, I'm soooooorry (once again) for the crappy quality but this is the best I could get. :( #CameraPhoneProblems:(

I hope you liked this, I'll see you soon beautiful creatures!:)

Love, Pam♥
