31DC2013 Day 26: Inspired by a Pattern!!

Hello, lovelies! Happy Wednesday!! We're almost done with this 31 Day Challenge (Finally!) I always quit everything so it feels good to actually finish something even if it took you the last months and two nail breaks.

Today I've got a special pattern I'd chosen ages ago specifically for this challenge, I found it on Pinterest and knew it was going to be my "Inspired by a Pattern", well, inspiration.

Here's the nail art I made based on it:

I used China Glaze White On White as my base, then with my smallest dotting tool and black acrylic paint I made tiny polka dots. I mixed China Glaze With Love with White On White for the different shades of red and pink and created the roses and finally added some leaves with Color Club Rule Breaker.

I really loved the result and how it turned out, I uploaded it to Instagram and tagged China Glaze and a couple days later they liked it! And I fangirled obviously! Haha I was very happy wearing it and I wore it for a whole week until it chipped. I hope you liked this nail art, see you later this week for more!

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♥

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♥

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♥

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♥

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.♥
