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 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

Love, Pam♥

31DC2013 Day 7: Black & White

Happy monday everyone! Finally, here they are: my black and white nails!! When thinking about the desing I wanted to create with black and white polish the first thing that came to my mind was a chessboard so I went right to it without hesitation! This was my first ever checkered nail art and even though it isn't as perfect as I'd like it to be I'm quite happy with the result :)

I used Orly White Tips as my base color and then with the help of a small dotting tool I placed tiny dots to creat the "corners" of the squares, finally with a small nail art brush and Finger Paints Black Expressionism I freehanded the lines and filled the squares to create the pattern.

The only really bad thing was that my top coat (Sally Hansen Insta-Dri) dragged the black polish and makes it look quite messy :( I'm really sad about that part because until that I was pretty happy with the result. Sigh, well sometimes you win and sometimes you lose...

I really hope you can forgive that imstake of mine, cause I still don't :'( Haha, well I hope to see you very soon this week for the next 31 Day Challenge design!

Love, Pam♥

I'm BAAAAACK!

Hey ya, lacquered puppies (puppies...?). I'm sooo glad to be back!! To be honest I was going through a phase, I was in finals, then on vacation and then I went through depression cause my nails were just not good enough for me and to make it worse my ring finger nail broke in a horrible way:( He's better now, and I'm back for good!:)

I decided to start the 31 Day Nail Art Challenge that Chalkboard Nails posted yesterday, but since it starts on monday I'll be posting old of my nail art pictures everyday (yes, everyday, I promise) while I get ready to bring it on these next 31 days!

Well, here's an oldie I did on April, I think and the funny thing is that nobody believed me I free handed the flowers! Everyone thought they were stickers and I was like, yeah, thank you, lol. Anyways I was real happy while wearing this mani and I got the original idea from the lovely Robin Moses except my base color was a bit more brown-ish or nude-ish than hers, here is her tutorial.

I used Color Club High Society as my base color and then using a dotting tool for the center of the flower. The white is Orly White Tips.

My nails are baby nails there! :3

There's no way I can explain how I did this without making it look all confunsing so I leave you Robin's video here (her art is 1000x more amazing and beautiful!).

Hope you liked this post and I promise I'll be back sooner rather than later;)

Love, Pam♥
