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♥

Circus Dots!

Hi, there colorful butterflies!! Happy friday!! I hope you have lots of plans for this weekend, I only have a party for some friends that are leaving town, whom I'll miss LOTS:(

Well, today I've got this colorful circus-inspired nail art that made me think about clowns and zebras with mohawks on their heads ( kidding I don't like circus with animals): ). Anyways the color combo really felt like a circus on my hands and was very eye-catching and fun.

My base color is a very soft and rpetty pink (didn't have name, sorry), the blue is China Glaze For Audrey, the green is China Glaze Running in Circles, the red-ish orange is China Glaze Roguish Red and the yellow is Finger Paints Art Nouv-Yellow.

I simply painted my nails with two coats of my base color, let it dry and with my small and large dotting tool I places my dots in a upside down V shape... kinda.

One more pic just for the heck of it;)

I hope you liked this nail art, cause I sure enjoyed wearing it!! Haha, see you tomorrow with another nail art and getting ready for the 31 Day Challenge!!! *squeals* This will be fun! I'm already thinking my nail art!! :D

Have a great friday!! TGIF!;)

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♥

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♥

Colorblock ft. Dots!

Hello, lacquered unicorns! Happy monday to all of you! I know how mondays may suck but I'm on finals and I'm kinda sad I won't be having another ugly monday hating school:( Anyways, today I bring you this nail art based on Polish You Pretty's nail art tutorial. I looooved these colors together + the girls at PYP are always bringing up some very cool nail art! They were the first blog I ever saw when I started doing nail art, and by starting I mean putting three dots at the corner of my nail and even that would come out wrong!! Hahaha but practice makes perfect and I'm still learning but here it is.

I followed the tutorial, except I didn't use stripe tape and freehanded straight lines instead. The tools I used were scotch tape (for the division), a small dotting tool and a small nail art brush.

The colors I used were Finger Paints Black Expressionism, China Glaze Shower Together and China Glaze Surreal Appeal. I loved the way these last two colors worked together and how beautiful they looked. A combo I'll def use in the future!

Here's an indoors shot with natural lightning, so you can see it better.

The color changes a lot, huh? I hoped you liked this mani, and I'll see you soon pretty pretty unicorns!

Love, Pam♥

Even More Holo!

Heeeello, pretty unicorns! Happy thursday! Smells like weekend on this spring air:)

Today I brought you this nail art I made that looked simply amazing! It's simple but it's beautiful and and attention seeker! Wearing this a lot of people asked about my mani and how I did it, even how I did the holo (?)... Some people don't even know that holo polish exists hahaha. Anyways here it is, my simple but not very subtle holo mani!

I used Color Club Blue Heaven and FingerPaints Shades of Dark and my top coat was Orly Sec 'N Dry.

I painted my accent nail with FingerPaints Shades Of Dark and the other nails with Color Club Blue Heaven. When my accent nail was dry I made the pattern using striping tape and then painted over it with Color Club Blue Heaven, then I immediately took off the striping tape using some tweezers and finally I added my top coat!

Of course my camera couldn't quite capture the beauty in this holo but it was truly amazing, I'm just in love with Color Club holos!!

I hope you liked this easy and simple nail art, see you soon!:)

Love, Pam♥

Blue Gradient + Glitter!

Good afternoon sexy unicorns!! How are you feeling today? I'm feeling kinda down, don't know why... And I said to myself "Hey girl! We should def post some old nail art today!" and I was like "Yeah! Great idea!" So here I am.

I made this some time ago and I think it was my very first complete gradient nail art (my first try was for Valentine's Day). Back then I was also so very excited about my new China Glaze acquisitions... Bling It On and Graffiti Glitter! So I decided to use one of them here. I had heard so many good things about that collection that as soon as it came out here I bought my favorites!!

Well, in the end this is how it ended up looking like:

I used Orly White Tips, China Glaze For Audrey and China Glaze Shower Together to make the gradient using a make-up sponge.

Then I added one coat of China Glaze Bling It On to make it look more interesting and complex. Bling It On is a black and blue glitter on a clear base and it's really amazing and beautiful!!

Btw, I'm soooooorry (once again) for the crappy quality but this is the best I could get. :( #CameraPhoneProblems:(

I hope you liked this, I'll see you soon beautiful creatures!:)

Love, Pam♥
