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 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 11: Polka Dots + Going Pink for BCA!

Hello, gliterry puppies!! Happy hump day! Since October has come to an end (almost), and since it's Breast Cancer Awareness month I decided to dedicate this design to the cause. Did you know every 2 minutes, there is a new breast cancer diagnosis? And every 14 minutes a life is lost to the disease? 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 85% of those diagnosis don't have any family history. It also affects men; of the more than 40,000 (forty THOUSAND) deaths for breast cancer, 400 are men.

This is no joke, and I think every women (and men) must do a self-exam and have a mammogram done twice a year. Let's help minimize breast cancer diagnosis and spread the word! Not only this month but all year long!

The colors I used were China Glaze Surreal Appeal and Color Club What A Drag.

I painted my nails with two coats of Surreal Appeal (I can never get enough of this pink!) and then used my large dotting tool to make some big dots along the mid section of my nails, then using a small dotting tool I made more rows of smaller dots on both sides of the first round of dots. Finally I topped it all with my matte top coat, I used Color Club Matte-Ified.

I hope you liked this post and I'd also love if you spread the word about this topic that has reached some of us very closely. Take care of yourself and take care of others.

Love, Pam♥

Velvet Red ft. Silver Dots

Hi, lacquered ladies! I know I said I would be posting two more nail arts last week but number one: time's just flying by lately, number two: finals are eating me alive!!! Seriously, and they enjoy it:( Aaaaand last, number three: my house's being painted so it's really been a pain in the butt.

But well, I did have this religious thing that turned out to be sooo tiring and (not because of the religious thing, but fo other reasons) turned out to be one of the worst nights of my live :( Sniff. But as I had to wear something for the day (night) so I decided to match it with my dress. I actually didn't have a dress until two hours before the event, but as soon as I bought it and took a look at my stash I knew I had the perfect color: Color Club Resort To Red. Oh.My.God. This color!!! It's just amazingly beautiful!!! And it matched perfectly my dress. But I couldn't wear it plain, so, since my dress was plain, I decided to add a few dots (I know, I'm a dot-addict) and I went for silver dots.

I decided to do a simple and quick nail art since I didn't have much time, but one that I adore. I first saw this on the Polish You Pretty blog here and I loved it!

And here's my attempt:

I used Color Club Resort To Red as my base color and Color Club What A Drag for the dots. I used a small and big dotting tool and when I was done I covered with one coat of  Color Club Matte-Ified.

I loved how this ended up looking and I loved how it looked with my dress. The only two good things about my night:')

I definetely enjoyed and I hope you liked it as much as I did, this week and until january I'll be doing christmas nail arts. My favorite time of the year! See you soon!

Love, Pam♥
