Sunset at the Beach!

Hello, there moonlight owls! How was your Saturday? I had a girls' day with my mom; went to the cinema, grabbed some dinner, overdose on Krispy Kreme's... You know, the usual.

This is my last post before the #31DC2013!!! I'm so excited!! Right now I'm just about to start doing my nails!:)

Well, today I've got the sunset, beach and birds on my nails, isn't that amazing!! This was my very first attempt to do a "sunset-like" design so yes, I did have my mistakes and byb mistakes I mean my cuticles look horrible! Seriously, I'm sorry:(

For this desing I *think* I used Orly White Tips, Revlon Impulsive, China Glaze Fifth Avenue, China Glaze Roguish Red, Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow and Finger Paints Black Expressionism.

First, I painted my nails with a coat of White Tips so the colors would pop, then using a make up sponge I sponged the gradient. To be honest I don't remember if I used Fifth Avenue or not, hmmm... Anyways, I think the effect was brilliant and then with my small brush I added the sand at the tip of my nails, then the palm trees on my thumb, index and ring and then some weird-shaped birds on my middle, pinky and (why not?) my thumb,

I really really liked this design, but if only I had cleaned up my cuticles it would have looked SO much better:( We all make mistakes and have to learn from them... :'( *sniff*

On the other side, this was very difficult for me and I was very proud with the final result.

I hope you liked this design and you can find forgiveness in your hearts for the awful state of my cuticles.

I'll see you tomorrow to start the 31 Day Challenge 2013 !! *squeals*

Love, Pam♥

Good Ol' Nail Art

I know I'm a mess for taking so long for this post, but I'm presenting exams for different universities right now so I've been kinda busy:(

But, finally here is some nail art! This is actually what I wore this Valentine's Day (seems like ages ago). I'm not very fond of Valentine's Day so I decided I wouldn't do the typical in your face Valentine's nail art. Instead I used pink and purple! :) Here it is!

I used Revlon Impulsive, China Glaze Fifth Avenue and Color Club Wildflower.

I made a stencil with tape to do the heart gradient and used my nail art brush to draw the tiny hearts. I also used a sponge to do the gradients.

I liked it because it was subtle and not too cheesy:) Hope you liked it, and sorry for the delay! I promise to be back soon!

Love, Pam♥

Water Marble!!

Hey guys!! Happy saturday!! Smells like a good weekend! I'm going to the Swedish House Mafia concert in Mexico City (!!!) I'm so excited about it! Anyways, I hope you all have a great weekend too!
Well, after so many (so so many) failed attempts to water marble, I finally made a mani! This is such a big success for me cause I've been trying to do it literally for half a year. I watch Water Marble Queen, Colette, and I swear I've followed all her steps and tips, but it was a complete mess for me.
Well, finally this worked out for me and I made a simple petals design (the easiest design in water marbling, I guess), but I was quite happy with it while wearing it:)

I used Color Club Catwalk Queen, Color Club Wildflower and China Glaze Fifth Avenue.

If I could change anything I'd change the length of my nails... But talking about the mani, I'd change a little bit the colors maybe... I would change Wildflower for a reddish pink, maybe...

I hope you liked my first water marbling success, I'm def trying this again soon with some other colors (I already have some combos to try).
Thanks for reading, lacquered loves. Have a nice day!

Love, Pam♥

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♥
