First from the lovely lady LaaLaa. She was kind enough to make a post about this new little blog of mine (which you can find here) and wrote some lovely things. I love you LaaLaa...even if you had to lie a little ;) lol. She's got a great blog so check her out. Plus she's gorge...And she's a very creative little thing who's getting into the makeup biz, so show her some love when you visit her.
Then on top of that, Ashley from Astrowifey gave me a shout out, too! If you're into nail art, check out her blog. She's into the Japanese nail designs and she's great at nail art, so if you're into all that go check her out already! We've been little chatterboxes lately...it's nice to have someone to gush nails with, no matter how trivial it may be. Well, we think we interesting, don't we Ash?
Thanks again girls!
Now onto one of my favourite products. It has been for a long time now. It's CND's Solar Oil. Here's lame pic of a mini bottle I had laying around. Couldn't find my big bottle for the life of me...
Yah, see. Lame. You can see the writing cuz it's see-thru. But here's the website if you want to see a pic. It is great for natural nails and cuticles, but it's also good for nail enhancements. It keeps your fakies flexible, but still tough. This is the whole reason I started using this oil in the first place. I have always had horribly dry cuticles and I thought I couldn't use nail oil because it would cause lifting on the nail enhancements, but as long as the nails are properly applied you don't get lifting.
If you're interested in it, you can check out the CND website to locate a store that might sell it near you. I highly recommend it. Sometimes I get so caught up in the prettiness of my nails that I forget to take care of them...so I always have a little bottle near me at all times.
Okay and another nail design. Sorry I don't do them on my actual nails. I have acrylics on right now and there's no way to do a new set everyday...time consuming and so bad for the nails to have to file them down all the time.
This one is similar in colour to the lv one I did a few days ago. There's something about pink and gold that I really like.
I will do a tutorial for you guys soon. I promise, these ones are all ones that I did a few days ago and I'm posting them one by one for you guys until I can find the time to do a tut.
All I did for these was used a transluscent gold sparkle nail polish on the tips (I didn't make a straight line on purpose) and then went over it with a clear nail polish I had that had thicker gold chunks in it. I got those 2 polishes from daiso ($2 japanese store near where I live). Then I just added in some deco. The gold circles are jump rings that you can get at an arts and craft store...although I just picked mine up from a dollar store. They're used for jewelry making and they come in different sizes. I think I got like 100 jump rings for a buck. The pearls and rhinestones are from Michaels and they came like a sticker with a sticky backing, which I just removed and used nail glue to glue onto the nail. Then I used a UV top coat to seal it all in.
Hope you enjoyed this post guys :)
