Aqua Teen Hunger Force Nails!

Hello friends! A few weeks ago I ordered some new nail art tools from Ebay and after waiting (im)patiently  they finally got here!  I have been wanting to do an Aqua Teen Hunger Force manicure for the longest time and now that I finally have the right tools..and LOTS of tooth picks, I did it! Check it out! (Pic heavy!!)

Ignignokt...Frylock..Master Shake...Meatwad..Err

If you aren't familiar with AQTHF it's a show on Adult Swim and it's Hilarious! It's got that so dumb and ridiculous that it's funny vibe. Completely up my alley! I have been watching this show since high school and I still laugh just as hard as I did when I first saw it. Yeah...I am not going to grow up anytime soon. :p

My favorite...Meatwad. What can I say, Meatwad make the money see..Meatwad get the Honeys G!

This manicure took me a long time but it was COMPLETELY worth it, I am so happy with the way it turned out.

The aftermath...in nail art tooth picks can be your best friend!

You know I couldn't forget Ignignokt and Err..so rude! I love the way these little guys talk completely reckless to people and just don't give an ef! Ha! What do you guys think of this manicure? Let me know I really appreciate your feedback. :)

Thank you for reading! Happy Friday! I hope you all have an awesome weekend!

Cupcake Nails!

Hello sweet faces!  Anyone want an aquadelic cupcake? I am sure you have seen this manicure all over the place it's  just so fun I couldn't resist!

I wanted to Jazz up my China Glaze 'Aquadelic' Manicure so I decided to add some super cure cupcake accents. 

:)

This is one of the easiest freehand manicures ever. It's all done with nail polish no acrylic paint for this one, a tiny nail art brush and a dotting tool for the sprinkles.

Up close and delicious!  

I have to admit that I am loving this sickeningly sweet. It's so cutesy, I can see doing this manicure for my kiddos Birthday party or something. I hope you guys like this one! Are you guys enjoying my hand painted manicures? I am really having fun with them. Any suggestions? I would love to get some suggestions! If you have any just let me know! Thank you so much for reading. Until nest time!

Luck of the Irish

Hello Friends! I have really missed doing custom hand painted manicures. I have been wanting to do more but I just didn't have the correct tools, so I finally decided to purchase some new brushes and paints specifically for doing custom painted manicures. I am a bit rusty and working with new brushes, so bear with me while I get into the swing of things.(is it bear with me or bare with me? hmmm hahaha!) Why not start things off with a St. Patricks Day Manicure!

I'm holding 'Treasure Chest' from China Glaze a beautiful chunky gold glitter in a clear base. I used some of this gold gem for the glitter gradient on my middle finger. I use mostly acrylic paint for the designs, it dries super fast and is great for color mixing.

A cute leprechaun..gold glitter gradient..a rainbow and a pot of gold! Cute! 

I think my favorite is the pot of gold. :)

I hope you guys like this one! What are you going to be up to on St. Patricks Day? Anyone going to be enjoying some green brew? Whatever it is you do..Be safe and have fun!

Valentine's Day Nails with an Edge!

Hey Loves! Valentines Day is Just around the corner so its time for cute V-Day nails!  Have a look angel faces...

I used Sinful Colors 'Black on Black', and on the ring finger Sinful Colors 'Snow Me White' . These colors are amazing, the best black and white polish ever and for only two bucks a piece at Target! What a Bargain!

I used China Glaze 'Broken Hearted' for the Crackle effect and a random shimmery pink from a Migi Nail art pen to draw on the heart and polka dots.

I was going to use tape to make the pink have a cleaner line but I didn't want to wait for the black to dry completely. Hey, Don't judge me hahaha it still came out pretty good. What do you guys think?

I love this crackle!

Thank you so much for reading! Have a great weekend friends!

Hey Loves! Halloween is just around the corner! Check out these hand painted and bundle monster stamped Halloween nails. 

I am holding China Glaze Zombie Zest  and I have it on my thumb nail over a coat of black polish.

Little Frankenstein Guy and Jack-O-Lantern hand painted using Migi Nail Art Pens. 

I haven't used the Ghoulish GLOW from China Glaze yet but out the bottle after I charged it by holding it up to the light.

AWESOME! I need to play around with this and see how it shows best on the nails. Do you think I should use a white base to make it pop? hmmmmm. What do you ladies think?

Thanks for reading!

Fun Tips!

Hello friends! I was recently playing around with some polish and came up with this fun french manicure. I rarely just focus on my tips but my nails are getting long enough to play around and experiment with manicures like this. I hope you like it.

Kind of Cheetara-esque don't ya think? hahaha That was NOT my intention and I didn't realize that until after. 

China Glaze Hope Chest...Migi Nail Art Pen in Black...China Glaze Happy Go Lucky

I  painted the yellow on free hand, I may pick up some of the french manicure stickers to use as a guide next time so it will be more even.

Just the tip. ha!

Black Daisy

Hey lovelies! Check out this manicure I did recently. I was swatching China Glaze Fifth Avenue a very pretty mellow pink creme and I wanted to spice it up a bit with a design so I added some daisies.

I used the Black and White Migi Nail Art Pen for the Daisies.

I hope you guys like it! Thank you for reading. Sorry this post is so short but it's bed time. haha!

Fin//Lumpy Space Princess//Jake// Marceline

I used my new Migi Nail Art Pens and free handed the characters. I LOVEEE these pens they make such fine lines its great. I got them from Amazon.com and right after this Mani I ordered a bunch more.

Easter Nails!

Hey Loves! I wasn't even going to do and Easter manicure until I saw THIS ADORABLE mani on MaD Manis. It is so cute I wanted to do the the same one. I got out my China Glaze For Audrey and all of my acrylic paints and went to town! I did the whole thing with a dotting tool, I really need to invest in some teeny tiny paint brushes ha ha. Check it out loves...

Love it! Perfect for the Easter Party I am going to tomorrow.

Cute little chick! :)

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend and if you celebrate Easter have a great one! Thank you so much for reading

Christmas Manicure!

Hey loves! Here is The Manicure that I did for all of my Christmas Celebrations the next few days. It's very similar to the previous Festive Holiday Manicure, except with this one there are  few new faces! This time I did the designs with Acrylic Paint...DUH! Why didn't I think of that before! It dries SOO fast and it is a lot easier to mix them. I paint a lot so I have a decent eye for mixing the paints. Another reason for using acrylic paint is it is super inexpensive and I am not wasting all of my nail Polish! Check it out dolls!

Rudolph and The Penguin wearing a Santa hat are the new additions.. So cute and fun!

All China Glaze polishes for the bases of the designs..L-R..Ruby Pumps...For Audrey..White On White..Devotion...and on the Thumb my base is Cheers To You

Christmas Tree and lil Penguin! I  was originally going to do christmas lights instead of the Penguin but I wanted to add another animal and I am glad I did.. he turned out great. I thought it was going to be really difficult to put something new on the smallest nail but it was easy peasy!

This didn't take me as long as the first time..and I think I did a bit better. I put a clear base coat down and then my color base..let that dry..painted the designs which pretty much dry instantly and then TWO coats of Seche Vite top coat to seal it in and also kind of Magnify the pictures a bit! What do you guys think?  Which one is your favorite?
Thanks for reading and Happy Holidays! 

Festive Christmas Nails!

I'm not even going to begin to list all of the colors I used in this mini art project ha ha. (but if you have ANY questions on any colors or how I did it don't hesitate to ask in the comments or send an email :) ! )
Lets just say it took me a while and its only on my left hand. I cant even IMAGINE how people can do hand painted designs on every nail on both hands. Those are some very talented people!  

The ring nail is supposed to be a present but...yah..looks pretty bad..hey! its the thought that counts though right? :)

Christmas tree..I didn't have a brown nail polish (brown is my least fav color..even though I am brown ha ha..weird!)  so I had to make one for the trunk.

Candy Canes....I know my thumb is massive!

My Favorite! The Snow Man came out so CUTE!


All and all not too shabby for my very first hand painted nail art project. I will definitely try again once I get some more tools. I used mostly a dotting tool and a watercolor brush that I cut down. I really enjoyed this project and this is definitely going to be a sad one to remove. What are you guys doing for your Holiday Manis?  I hope you have a great Holiday and an Awesome New Year!
