I've finally finished all of my exams for the final year of my undergrad, and what better way to celebrate than painting my nails? I'm hoping that the lack of school will mean that I'll have more time for my 'hobby'- it's something I really love to do, and love sharing, but I just have to keep my priorities in check during the school year. I hope you all enjoy this fun design- I know I loved how it turned out!</div>

For this design I used two coats of China Glaze's 'For Audrey' (one coat on the ring finger). I made the lines with the Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in 'Bright Blue', and the ring finger with Sally Hansen Gem Crush in 'Bling-tastic' (three coats for full glitter coverage). I finished everything off with a coat of Seche Vite.</div>

I realize that I'm a little late in posting this, but I figure it's better late than never. These are the nails that I wore for St. Patrick's Day this past weekend, and since my next colour for the <a href="http://nailed-blog.blogspot.ca/p/30-day-challange.html" target="_blank">30 Day Challenge</a> was green, I figured they could work for this as well. I'm trying to make an effort to make sure I paint my nails at least once every two weeks, but it's hard with exams coming up- I hope you enjoy these for now!</div>

Here's what I used for this look:<br />
<br />
Thumbs: Two coats of China Glaze 'Starboard' with CG 'Luxe and Lush' layered over top.<br />
<br />
Index Fingers: Two coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri 'Jade Jump' as a base, and CG 'Four Leaf Clover' for the lips.<br />
<br />
Middle Fingers: Two coats of CG 'Four Leaf Clover' as a base and CG 'Midnight Kiss' for the clover.<br />
<br />
Ring Fingers: Two coats of L.A. Colors 'Goddess'<br />
<br />
Pinky Fingers: Two coats of CG 'Refresh-Mint' as a base. For the rainbow (starting with the red) I used Art Deco 'Red Glitter' striper, Rimmel 'Tequila Sunrise', AD 'Yellow' striper, CG 'Four Leaf Clover', AD 'Sky Blue' striper, and AD 'Magenta' striper.<br />
<br />

I realize that I have been MIA for the past couple of weeks, but it's getting to that time in the school year where I don't have a whole lot of spare time for painting my nails (even the one day a week I had alloted for my 30 day challenge). Because it's the final year of my undergraduate degree I really need to prioritize, and hopefully by the beginning of April I will be back on track once exams are finished. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With all of that said, I do have a post for you- a mini haul from last week with some newish China Glaze Polishes; two from the <i>Magnetix </i>collection, and two from the <i>Hunger Games</i> collection (I also finally gave in, and bought the first book in the trilogy, which I am not regretting so far). Hope you enjoy- and hopefully I'll have some more nail art sooner rather than later. </div>

An arrow and heart combination is one that I haven't done for Valentine's Day before, so I came up with this simple design, and I am very happy with the way that it turned out. Even though it isn't very intricate, it still gets the message across. I hope you all enjoy, and have a great Valentine's Day!<br />

For this design I used two coats of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in 'Fuchsia Power' as a base. For the rest of the design I used L.A. Colors Art Deco striping polishes- the heart is 'Red Glitter', the black line is 'Black Sparkles', and the lines on the thumb/arrow (from lightest to darkest) are 'Baby Pink', 'Hot Pink', and 'Magenta'.</div>

What nail designs will you be sporting for Valentine's Day?</div>Nataliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17181084342909861480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146283690233793525.post-42863635758011775282012-02-10T15:08:00.000-05:002012-02-10T15:08:18.343-05:00I (Heart) You<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I finally have my first bit of Valentine's day nail art. The other day I went for lunch with a friend at a little café called <i>Ti Amo</i>, which means <i>I Love You</i> in Italian (I should also let everyone know that Italian is one of my university majors). This got me thinking about how I could use the phrase for nail art, and it worked out perfectly that Ti Amo fits on 5 nails. Instead of using it on the other hand as well, I did a varied English version <i>I (heart) You</i>. I hope everyone enjoys- see below for products used.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thumbs- LA Colors 'Electrified'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Index Fingers- Sally Hansen Insta-Dri 'Pink Blink'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Middle Fingers- Sally Hansen Hard as Nails 'Red Carpet'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ring Fingers- Sally Hansen Hard as Nails 'Fairy Nice'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pinky Fingers- Nicole by OPI 'Stolen Kisses'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the dots on the thumbs, pinky, and middle fingers I used 'Pink Blink' and 'Fairy Nice', and for the dots on the index and ring fingers I used the remaining three colours. I also used some dollar store rhinestones for the heart on the ring finger of the right hand. </div>

<br />
I hope everyone has been having a good February so far, and make sure you keep your eye during the next couple of weeks for some love-themed nails!<br />

I asked a friend for ideas and she suggested lemons (something that should have popped into my head the second I heard yellow) so that's what I went with, considering I had no other ideas. I am extremely happy with how these turned out- other than the fact that I should have used white under the neon. I hope you all enjoy!<br />

For these nails I used three coats of China Glaze's 'Celtic Sun' as a base, and then used CG's 'Lemon Fizz' (very fitting) for the base colour of the lemons. I used a white acrylic paint and a small detail brush- <a href="http://nailed-blog.blogspot.com/2011/01/sallys-haul.html" target="_blank">seen here</a>- to paint off the sections of the lemon, and then used 'Lemon Fizz' again for the rind. I finished everything off with a coat of Seche Vite. </div>Nataliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17181084342909861480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146283690233793525.post-30711157178002430672012-01-22T20:36:00.003-05:002012-01-22T20:36:52.446-05:00Day Two: Orange NailsI'll have to say, I was a bit stumped when it came orange nails. I have a very limited number of orange polishes, and no ideas came to mind at all. Finally I came up with this orange design- again, just something simple. I wanted to add something extra, so I used some small burnt orange beads. Unfortunately when I added a top coat, the colour on the beads came along with it. Other than that I am fairly happy with these- I hope you enjoy!<br />

For the first week of the semester I have been able to organize everything in a way that works for me, so hopefully I will have some extra time time at least once a week to do the thing I love.<br />
<br />
I wanted to start with something basic for week one, but also do something more than just paint my nails a plain red. I came up with this simple yet flashy look. I love the idea of red and gold together, and this was my chance to pair the two (I'm sure I will find another chance over these 30 days). I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!<br />

(I would like to apologize in advance for the photo quality- It was hard to focus on just the gold, or just the flakies, and then the glare from the top coat only made it worse. These are the best ones- click to enlarge)</div>

For this design I used two coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in 'Quick Brick', and layered one coat of Nfu Oh '49' overtop. I then used a small dotting tool and China Glaze's 'Midnight Kiss' for the gold dots. I finished everything off with a coat of Seche Vite. </div>Nataliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17181084342909861480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146283690233793525.post-1042659817620697072012-01-11T20:16:00.000-05:002012-01-11T20:16:57.107-05:00Blog Update: Changes, and Getting Back on TrackThank you to everyone for your continued support of the 'Nailed' Blog. I know many of you that also have blogs may understand that it can be difficult to post as much as you would like, and I am glad you've stuck with me. I am finally starting the last semester of my undergrad, and even though last year I was able to make the time for weekly nail art, this year hasn't been the same.<br />
<br />
I am however, going to make a resolution to try and post something at least once a week, and I have been planning out some designs following the popular '30 Day Challenge' to keep me on track, so keep your eyes out, as those posts should be popping up as soon as I get back into my new school routine.<br />
<br />
I also want to point out the change back to the old blog template. Even though I thoroughly enjoyed the new dynamic views, they are still haven't caught up with the old template. This means that there was no option to follow the blog, and many of the other features of the old blog were unavailable on the new template. Hopefully things change soon so I am able to switch once again.<br />
<br />
Thanks again for your patience and understanding- I won't be going anywhere, so keep following for more updates, and more importantly, nail art.<br />

One of the first ideas that came to mind when I was brainstorming for holiday and winter-themed nail art was leopard print. It is such a simple technique, and it can be used with whatever colours you like to match any season or occasion. </div>

I have a few designs in mind for this holiday season, and I decided to start with this one. This past Saturday night I finally had some time to relax and paint my nails- which I haven't done since reading week in October. Last week I bought a 'christmas sweater' and it was the inspiration I needed for some themed nail art. I hope you enjoy!</div>

I used two coats of L.A. Girl 'Fairytale' (swatched <a href="http://nailed-blog.blogspot.com/2011/10/la-colors-addict-fairytale.html" target="_blank">here</a>) as a base, and I used acrylic paints for the red and white arrows and snowflakes. I also had the chance to use my new nail art brushes- I used the shortest of the striping brushes (seen in <a href="http://nailed-blog.blogspot.com/2011/11/some-recent-buys.html" target="_blank">this post</a>). I finished everything off with a coat of Seche Vite.</div>

This was one of the polishes featured in my <a href="http://nailed-blog.blogspot.com/2011/11/some-recent-buys.html" target="_blank">Recent Buys</a> post, that I have purchased since I have been back at school this semester. I happened to see the polishes at <i>Suzy Shier</i> on the counter, and they were 2 for $8 which I though was decent, so I picked up two ('Fairytale' as well as 'Delirious' which can also be seen in the post mentioned above). 'Fairytale' looks like just a light grey, but you can also see that there is a very faint silver shimmer as well (click pictures to enlarge them in order to see this better). This was two coats of the polish- after the first coat I wasn't sure if it was going to be opaque after only two coats, but I was pleasantly surprised when it was. Enjoy!</div>

This just goes to show that you shouldn't judge polishes that aren't 'name brand'- they usually have a quality that is similar, and cost much less. </div>

I picked up this OPI polish while I was laid-over waiting for a bus home for my reading week. I had a few hours to spend in the mall that was across the road from the bus station, and saw that <a href="http://www.envirotrends.ca/" target="_blank">Envirotrends</a> had a buy one, get one half off OPI sale. I picked up this polish from the <i>Miss Universe</i> collection, and also 'Excuse Moi!' from the <i>Muppets</i> collection. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The thing that caught my eye with this colour was the intense gold shimmer/ duochrome. It covered surprisingly well, and seeing how I packed light when I went home for the week (read: because I didn't bring any nail supplies home), it also lasted for a fairly long time without a top or base coat. Hope you all enjoy!</div>

I based the nail art design on the <a href="http://www.google.ca/imgres?q=breaking+bad&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&biw=1195&bih=668&tbm=isch&tbnid=OCIavgnJTWZnMM:&imgrefurl=http://prettylittlelosers.wordpress.com/2011/07/01/breaking-bad-for-beginners/&docid=SnBxLiFts1KoYM&imgurl=http://prettylittlelosers.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/cabecera-breaking-bad.jpg&w=1280&h=720&ei=Gi-vTvitE4fj0QHg3pDkAQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=309&vpy=242&dur=474&hovh=116&hovw=207&tx=187&ty=91&sig=114173217623717456383&page=2&tbnh=112&tbnw=199&start=16&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:16" target="_blank">opening credits</a>- for a base on the thumb, index, and middle finger I used Rimmel's 'Black Satin'. For the ring and pinky finger I used Sally Hansen's 'Pure White Tip' as a base, and then used 'Black Satin' and China Glaze's 'Yellow Polka Dot Bikini' to water marble. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For the thumbs, index, and middle fingers, I used China Glaze's 'Turned up Turquoise' to sponge over the black. For the thumbs I mixed a bit of 'Pure White Tip' with the Turquoise to make it lighter, and sponged it over the thumb in a square shape. I then outlined the square with a white Stripe Rite polish and added the letters. </div>

<i><a href="http://www.facebook.com/h2ftv" target="_blank">Highways to Fairways</a> </i>is a new show that originates from my hometown. The show aired at the beginning of September, and I was lucky enough to go to the release party, and I decided to go with the shows logo for my nail design. I used CG's 'Turned up Turquoise' for the base, and a white Stripe Rite polish for the letters and lines. </div>

I know I'm a few weeks late with this, but it was nail art that I used during a teaching placement this past May, and I figured it was fitting for the month of September as well. I love the way this turned out, and lots of the kids were amazed that there was newspaper on my fingers. I hope you enjoy this mini tutorial- try it out and post a link below of your newspaper nail art!</div>

To Achieve the 'newspaper' effect: have pieces of newsprint prepared- all you need are pieces that are large enough to cover the nail, and that have simple text (try to avoid photos)</div>

*** It is very important that you use a good top coat soon after applying newspaper. If not, the newsprint will be rubbed off. Either apply after every nail, or be careful not to smudge the print and apply to all of the nails once you're done ***</div>Nataliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17181084342909861480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146283690233793525.post-83551635810495486732011-09-30T01:12:00.000-04:002011-09-30T12:44:59.164-04:00Simple Summer Nails<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello everyone! I am so happy to be back in the blogging world. Over the summer I work as a server so unfortunately I can't wear nail polish, and with one day off a week I rarely had time to paint my nails. However, at the beginning of the summer while it was slow, I did have some time for a few really simple designs that I figured I should share. Enjoy, and look forward to upcoming posts!</div>

Similar to <a href="http://nailed-blog.blogspot.com/2011/03/for-audrey-simple-nail-art.html">this post</a>, this manicure was based on something I had found online at modcloth.com. This time it was inspired by a dress, seen <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/Womens/Dresses/-What-s-Your-Exclamation-Dress">here</a>, and I fell in love with the print and knew it had to become nail art. Seeing as this mani is colourful, stripy, and sort of spotchy, it will also be what I'm wearing for Easter tomorrow- Enjoy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

'Jade Jump' is a beautiful pastel creme green, and 'Pink Blink' is a baby pink creme unlike any other colour I have in my collection.

The polish is Nox Twilight's 'Citrus' -a bright coral with an amazing amount of gold shimmer. I've been wearing it on my toes and it has not disappointed.</div><br />

I figured that it would be a good idea considering the royal wedding is taking place in two weeks. I hope you all enjoy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I had been eying the ones that are sold at Sally's Beauty Supply, but there is such a small amount and they are extremely overpriced. I was able to find these at Michael's for about $1.49 (I lost the receipt, so I'm not sure of the price), and the regular price was still under two dollars. I picked up three packs, each with two tubes of beads, and I love the different mixes of colours that they had. I used the beads for the first time in <a href="http://nailed-blog.blogspot.com/2011/04/abstract-spring-flowers.html">this post</a> and they weren't too hard to work with for my first try. I am hoping to get a lot of use out of these- hope you all enjoy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
