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 4: Green Nails!

Hello, lacquered beauties! I'm sorry for the delay but it was a long weekend here in Mexico and I couldn't bring myself to post but I'm here now!!
I also have bad news (for myself). After a tough battle with my dog that didn't want to go outside I accidentaly broke my index finger nail and by break I mean really break. Like completely. Didn't hurt a lot but I had to cut all my other nails to match... :( I still left my right nails long but stiiiiiiil :'(
Anyways I'm still having a hard time accepting this, but maybe it's for the best. My thumb nail had yellowed and my other nails where starting to too, don't know why since I use two coats of base coat and don't use colors that tend to yellow my nails a lot, besides, my right nails aren't yellow at all!

Well, before all that drama happened I did the green day on saturday! I decided to go veeeery simple because the color I used didn't need a lot more. When I first thought of green I could only think of this majestic color.

For this mani I used China Glaze Running In Circles and for my accent nails China Glaze Graffiti Glitter over China Glaze Swing Baby.

Srsly the pictures don't make any justice to this beautiful glimmery green that's gorgeous on its own (besides, I own a really crappy camera so...).
On a side note, I love LOVE the green glitter with black bar and circle glitter combo in Graffiti Glitter!

Now, with much more sad news here are my chopped nails :'(

I mean, look at the difference!! :'( I'm gonna go to sleep and hope to dream about longer nails that can last forever.

Hope you liked this subtle and simple mani for the fourth day of the 31 Day Challenge! I'm already working on day five and I'll be posting tomorrow, so... see you soon, loves!!

Love, Pam♥

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♥
