Nerdy Bunny And A Heart, Nail Art (VERY proud ♥)

♥♥

I'M VERY PROUD XOXO
LOL I'm sorry, but I really am. But before we get to that, how is everyone doing?
When I was searching for easy and cute nail arts on google I found this cute mani, that had this cute bunny and a cute heart, I changed the position of the designs, and it doesn't look nearly as good as the original one, and I have no inspiration to create my own design, I'm sorry :'(
I'm also putting a picture of the two nail art brushes I used, I found out, after MANY failed attempts, that the long brush is VERY useful and great and easy to use.
The polishes are on the FAQ section.













POST FAQ:
Polishes Used:
Risquè Preto Fosco - 1 coat
Colorama Banana - 2 coat
Illamasqua Jo'Mina for the design
Base Coat and Top Coat:
Base Coat: Sally Hansen NailGrowth Miracle
Top Coat: OPI RapiDry Top Coat

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY MY DEARS!
I'm nowhere near the US, but I still made my fourth of July mani. Which I love, minus the awful bubbles you can see in my pictures.
I used striping tape to make the striping in my nails, and KandyNail plate CK-04.
Even my mom loves it, which is very odd, because she never likes my nail stuff lol

Dots And A Heart

Hey loves ♥

PLEASE, pay attention to every little flaw in this mani. Not really, I'm being sarcastic, and I'm pissed!
I absolutely LOVE the way this mani looks, but like the previous post, my camera shows every single flaw!
I knew the heart wasn't really perfect, not by a long shot, but I still love it. I also love the dots I made, and the combo looks great. BUT as usual, my damn top coat cause a billion bubbles, again. And my pictures show it all.
To be honest, took me a long time to make this mani, not because it takes time, but because I couldn't decide what I wanted, I tried a lot of things, including some other nail arts, but I just wasn't happy. I tried this butterfly thing, with the same colors I'm using for this one, and when I was remaking my butterfly, cause the top coat messed it up, I made a heart, for the wings, but I decided to keep the heart, instead of making the butterfly.
I used Illamasqua Jo'Mina (♥), China Glaze For Audrey, Colorama Pétala Branca and Risquè Preto Fosco.
Because I don't have a dotting tool I used a hair clip thing, just click here to see how it looks. And it works great, so if you don't have a dotting tool that's an idea. And for the heart I used a brush and this tiny dotting tool, I know I said I didn't have any, but I bought this set of nail art brushes, and it comes with a tiny dotting tool. I made a black heart first, and then I filled it with Jo'Mina, and later I made a small line in the heat, with the tiny dotting tool.
BTW here goes a little tip, make the heart with the color you want, and then make the black line around it, I'll try that next time!

NOTD: Green Owl Nail Art ♥

Hey ♥♥

Sorry for the lack of posts, but I'm in exam week, so I've been very busy. But today was the last day, so I had some time off, after I got back from my LONG, LONG walk with my Nahla.
And here's a quick picture of her in her walk today. I usually take her to Arpoador Beach, and today I decided to go to the rock with her, we call it Pedra Do Arpoador, and the view is great.

The picture is not very good, she can't stay still for too long! :)

Back to my NOTD. I'm gonna start saying I'm very proud of this nail art. My pictures are a bit too good for my taste on this one. When you look at it at naked eye, you can't see any bubbles, but look at my pictures and you see a billion bubbles, but that's just the top coat's fault. I used Sally Hansen InstaDry, and it doesn't work very well with me, I don't know why :(
I'm using Revlon Post Trauma Nail Treatment base Coat, the reason I'm telling you this is because I did my owl over two coats of it, no other polish. My other nails are painted with Andreia number 3, no name. Andreia is a Portuguese brand, and I got it from a swap.In my owl I used Revlon Posh, Andreia 3, and for the eye and it's little nose I had to mix a few polishes.
I googled "Owl NailArt" to see a few of those and find one to make it myself, an easy one. I got the idea from this post here. The blog's owner is Cristina, and the blog's name is Let Them Have Polish!, and her blog is freaking amazing, I'm completely in love with it.
Anyway, for the ails I used the Andreia, I used 2 coats, the first one was a bit tricky, but the second one made it all better.

This is an iPhone 5 picture, not very good, but it's basically how I see it.







I really am very proud of it, and because it took me over an hour to make this, which I was very careful when doing it, cause I really wanted it to look great, I plan to keep it on for a few days, but I do have a post already planned, which I did a little while ago. But because I was so busy I was always forgetting.

NOTD: Bright Water Marble ♥

Hey my loves ♥

I actually have a bunch of posts already prepared before this one, but I'm in love with this water marble, so I'm posting this already.
I used OPI: Fly, Who The Shrek Are You? and That's Berry Daring. Those three colors looked great together.
I started with two coats of Colorama Pétala Branca. I finished this mani with one super thin coat of Seche Vite.

The bubbles on my index finger aren't bubbles, they're actually cuticle oils!








I'm loving the way my nails look right now. I went to the pet shop with Nahla a few hours ago and I got a lot of compliments on my nails.
Love,
