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 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

31DC2013 Day 1: Red Nails!

Hiiiii, beautiful criatures!! I'm sorry I posted this until now but, you know yesterday was Sunday Funday and I didn't get the chance to photograph my nails.

As soon as I saw it was Red Nails day I started thinking about what color would go with red and I decided to go with a glamorous gold accent.

With no more to say, here they are, my Red Nails:)

For this design I used China Glaze Cranberry Splash for my red base and China Glaze Swing Baby for the gold accents. I waited until my base color had dried and then with tape I did the V lines and painted over them with Swing Baby.

Featuring the little ring my brother gave me as a present that days "Te amo" which means "I love you". Aww isn't it lovely? Of course I had to include it! Lol.

I'm really enjoying this mani, it's so formal and holiday-esque, of course I'm using it for New Year's!! Haha, I hope you enjoyed this and I'm looking forward to show you my next designs for the 31DC2013!! :D

Btw, I'm not doing the challenge everyday, but every three or four days since I like to wear my mani for a little while:) So, I'll see you later this week!

Love, Pam♥

New Year's Nail Art

Hello, gorgeous lacquered loves! I hope you're all having a great day and an excellent begin of the year!! Well, here I am presenting you the nail art I wore for NYE; I actually did this last friday and I didn't think it would survive to see NYE, but it did and I loved it.

It's simple but classy and the glitter is sooo holidays and sooo New Year!! lol, well here it is.

The colors I used are China Glaze Cranberry Splash, China Glaze Running in Circles, and China Glaze Glitter All The Way. It's an easy and simple tape manicure, but it looks so classy!

I'm not holding any bottle on these photos cause I wasn't home when I took them, but I tried my best not to make my hands look awkward. :)

I hope you liked it and you all have my best wishes for this new year:) 

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.♥

Autumn Nail Art!

Hello, lacquered ladies!! Today I have an autumn nail art to show you, but first I gotta say I took the photos the very last day I wore it so it doesn't look perfect, but here it is.

Again, I'm really sorry for the quality.

So... I had no idea this was gonna look so autumn-ey, but it turned out just to be. I used China Glaze Cranberry Splash and Color Club Black-Ish for the colorblock and Finger Paints Fall Of Surprises! which is one of my favorite glitters of this year's collections. The black is Finger Paints Black Expressionism.

I used one coat of Color Club Black-Ish and let it dried then I simply painted half of my nail with China Glaze Cranberry Splash. After they both dried I marked the division with Finger Paints Black Expressionism and drew some small and fine lines. I covered my accent nail with Finger Paints Fall Of Surprises! and let all my nails dry, then used two coats of my top coat China Glaze Fast Forward.

I hope you liked it, it wasn't like wow to me but a lot of people really liked it so it was ok, plus I like the autumn-like plus it gave. I hope I can upload my neutral nail art this weekend, cause I'm planning to do my nails tomorrow. Thanks for reading, see you soon. :)

Love, Pam♥
