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

Holiday Penguin!

Hello lacquered loves! How are you doing? I hope you're doing good, I'm sorry for being away for so long, but I'm working at a factory at the moment so I really don't have much time, and the only time I get is used for study purposes, so yeah my life is kinda boring and crappy right meow. But anyways, I have this nail art I wore after the new year's one, and now that I remember I wore it a week and a half ago and it seems ages to me. I haven't made any more nail arts cause I can get my nails broken at work so I've gotten them shorter and worn only hardener on them.:(

Well, here it is, my last holiday nail art: The amazing wannabe penguin!

I used China Glaze With Love, Color Club High Society, Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow, China Glaze Fifth Avenue, Orly White Tips and Finger Paints Black Expressionism for the penguin and for the other nails I used China Glaze Pizzazz (an awesome multicolor glitter) over Orly White Tips.

I followed this tutorial for the penguin, mine isn't so perfect but it's not that hard to do!! :)

I really liked this manicure even though the penguin might not look like a penguin in some angles...

I'm sorry for the long pause and I promise I'll upload non-stopping nail art next week. I've bought nail polishes that I haven't used yet:( so I really want to change that sad truth.

I hope you liked this mani, and I hope to see you next week!

Love, Pam♥

So Christmas-y!

Yaaaaayy! My second post of 2013!! I'm sorry for taking so long posting this one, but this was last week's mani. It was a pistol glitter accent (gorgeous) some dots, a fair isle snowflake, and, of course, Santa!! With nothing more to say, I present you the most christmas-y nail art I've ever done.

I used China Glaze Pure Joy for the pistol glitter accent, China Glaze With Love as my red base, Finger Paints Black Expressionism for the eyes, and Orly White Tips. I was feeling a little like experimenting so I mixed White Tips with Color Club High Society to get Santa's skin tone and I mixed With Love with White Tips too, to get Santa's nose.

I'm really really sorry about the quality of the photos :( I couldn't get any better ones. And the saddest thing was that even though I liked this nail art, it wasn't that perfect to me so I just wore it for a day and some hours:( 

Well, I hope you liked it better than me, and I'll see you tomorrow for another post. I promise, lol.

Love, Pam♥

Snowflakes and Polar Bears!

Happy New Year, everyone!!!! I hope you had a great NYE and I hope you celebrated it with the ones you love. I had a nice time with my family:)

Well, I know I took like forever because this was the mani I wore for christmas but here it is, finally!

I was really proud of this mani and I really loved it, so I hope you like it as much as I did, I have to say I had to re-do it so it could come out perfectly, but it was worth it!

I used China Glaze For Audrey, Orly White Tips, China Glaze Roguish Red, Color Club High Society and Finger Paints Black Expressionism; along with my nail art brush and my large and small dotting tools.

Here is a close up of the little polar bear that I fell in love with♥

So, actually it wasn't like a very very hard nail art but it's a really cute and pretty one. The thing that took me the longest were the snowflakes because I'm a perfectionist, I'm afraid. But here it is, the nail art I wore for Christmas! I hope you liked it!:)

Love, Pam♥

Rudolph Christmas Nail Art

Hi there again! So, here's what I wore last week:) It was a very Christmas-y nail art with Rudolph! Very simple but veeery cute, I absolutely adored it!

I used for this nail art, China Glaze Cranberry Splash, Color Club French Tip, Finger Paints Black Expressionism, Color Club High Society, China Glaze With Love and I don't really remember the brown one, sorry:/

I'm wearing Cranberry Splash for all my nails except my accent nail. For the accent nail I went with a basic chocolate brown and with a large and small dotting tool I made the eyes and the nose using With Love, French Tip and Black Expressionism. For the little horns I used High Society and my small dotting tool.

I really liked how this turned out, and I hope you liked it as much as I did. As always thanks for reading!:)

Love, Pam♥

Christmas Gradient

Heeello, loves! I'm here to present you a beautiful gradient using China Glaze Glitter All The Way and an accent nail fail.

So, I wanted to use China Glaze Cranberry Splash as my base color and I decided to do a glitter gradient with Glitter All The Way cause I hadn't use it. They both made a beautiful couple, they really should take things more seriously between them.

Then I don't know what I wanted to do but I just covered my accent nail with China Glaze Glistening Snow. M-i-s-t-a-k-e. It definetely ruined the gradient. I should have just do the gradient for all the nails. I think Glistening Snow felt jealous about the beautiful couple the others made and just ruined my happiness... Buuuut well, enough drama, here are the photos and I apologize in advance for the quality. :(

Now you know what I mean, huh? But seriously, the photos don't make justice of how beautiful the gradient looked, really a pair of beautiful colors. I'm happy I got them:)

And here's a picture of Glitter All The Way, it's actually pretty bad, so you shouldn't bother... :/

I told you it was bad. But I hope you didn't hate this post and hate me forever:( Right now I'm wearing China Glaze Pure Joy, and I think I'll post about it tomorrow:)

Thanks for reading.

Love, Pam♥

Glistening Snowman

Heeeello, world! Here I am posting almost at 1am, sorry. Well, this last 3 days I've worn this simple but cute christmas nail art. I really loved it.

I got more China Glaze Holiday Joy glitters and I decided I couldn't wait to use them, and here's the result.

I used China Glaze Glistening Snow, a gorgeous silver holo that got my love; and China Glaze Cranberry Splash. I'm definetely using Cranberry Splash on my next nail art, it's a beautiful shade of red! For the snowman I used Color Club French Tip, my basic white, China Glaze Roguish Red and Finger Paints Black Expressionism, my basic black. I f you noticed, I added a little glitter on my accent nail by using Color Club S'il Vous Plaît, I wanted it to look like snowish.

I had to re-do my left ring finger cause my top coat ruined my snonwman-.- But I felt like I had to. And if you're wondering how my right hand ended, here's a photo of it in the shade.

I loved loved loved this nail art, seriously, I loved wearing it. And btw, I did have a hard time placing those little black dots cause I have a terrible pulse... So it was a big achievement for me. :)

And here I leave you a photo of my Glistening Snow bottle. Pure beauty. No photo could ever recreate its beauty. Really.

Sorry about the ugly background but that was the only way it could get some sun from my room, it was a lazy day that day.

I hope you liked this Christmas nail art, and I'll be doing a lot more and more glitter. Thanks for reading and see you later!

Love, Pam.♥

Early Christmas Nail Art!

Heeeeello, lacquered ladies! Yesterday I went to Sally because of this "Black Friday" kinda copycat that's going on here in Mexico and I got out of there with China Glaze Set "Puttin' On The Glitz" that includes With Love, Pizzazz & Cranberry Splash, China Glaze Innocence, Color Club Mini High Society, Color Club Mini S'il Vous Plaît, Color Club Resort To Red, and Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow.
I was a bit disappointed because I was expecting to buy the whole Holiday Joy Collection, but I guess it will be here next week... Hopefully.

Well, I couldn't resistdoing a mani with Pizzazz, an amazing glitter, and With Love, a basic red crème, and here's the result.

This christmas glitter gradient was inspired by Lucy from Lucy's Stash and her glitter gradient tutorial.
I hoped you like this mani as much as I liked it!

Love, Pam.♥
