Inspiration from facebook and sprinkles?

As most people do,  I was browsing pages on facebook. Most of the time they are nail related, but sometimes you just need something to make you laugh you know? I stumbled across this page called 9 To 5 LOL, scrolled through the mountains of funny pictures and came across this little gem on the left:

     

I then thought to myself, "how awesome would that look on your nails?" And so my sprinkle nails were born.

 

 

It's really not difficult to do, so I hope you can do it too! :)
That would make my day to see someone recreate my nail work!

 

 

 

 

Anyways, on to the nailtastics...

 

To the right are all the items I used.

 

Step One: Paint all of your nails white. It will serve as a good base coat.

 

Step Two: Take your favorite clear and paint your thumb nail with it. Do step three before it dries.

 

Step Three: Place your nail in a shallow bowl filled with the sprinkles, and then make sure they cover the nail adequately. (Shown at right)

 

 

Your finished product will be the picture on the left; however you can take it a step further by adding dots to finish the colorful look like the picture on the right!








Hope you enjoyed my brief tutorial!

Until next time,

Tutorial- Easy Peasy Ladybird

Since I was getting comments that you guys wanted me to do more nail art and tutorials, so here's my attempt at Ladybird nails!!

Here are the tools that I used, but go ahead and switch it up if you want!

Step One: Paint nails a deep red color. I ended up doing two to three coats to get the color I wanted, but for more opaque polish, one coat should be fine.

Step Two: Make a french manicure like sweep of black polish across the top of the nail and then carefully make a thin black line of polish down the middle of the nail. (If your line isn't straight, don't worry! On real ladybugs, they're not always straight, plus the dots will cover some of it up!)

Step Three: Make the dots! Now you're done! That's easy and super duper cute, (and perfect for those little polish people at home!)

However, I took it a step further and made leaves as well.

Step Four: Remove the color on your other nails, and paint them green. I used a Sally Girl Polish, but you use whatever green you love. :)

Step Five: Draw a thin line of green down the center.

Step Six: Draw thin lines off of the main line of green.

Step Seven: Apply this to all of your remaining nails.

And you're done!!

Hope you liked this post!

Until next time,

Comparison of Sinful Colors Hottie and Sally Girl Unnamed Blue Glitter

 Firstly, I want to sing the praises of this little pink bottle. I use it for my top coat when I just have *blushes* naked nails. I also use it as a base coat before I put any polish on my nails. It prevents a lot of discoloration too. I seriously am so glad with this polish.

Now onto the main show!!! I compared the small Sally Girl unnamed, and Sinful Colors Hottie. From the bottle shots, you can see the similarities, although Hottie is far darker than the Sally Girl. 

I figured I would show you guys some more bottle shots of the colors I used under the comparison polishes. 

Index and middle: Love Nails SG and Hottie respectively
Ring and pinkie: Ocean Side SG and Hottie respectively
Thumb: Naked nail, Hottie on top, SG on the bottom

On the left is the oh so beautiful "love nails." (Aptly named haha)
On the right is ocean side, a lovely color.











Both of the comparison colors are very close. They both go onto the nails very easily with only one or two coats being full coverage. Relatively speaking, SG only cost a collar but gets you 5.3 ml of polish, whereas not on sale Sinful Colors is two dollars but gets you 15ml. Personally, Sinful Colors would be my choice as:
1. It is more cost effective, and
2. You can buy Sinful Colors pretty much anywhere, whereas sally girls are mostly sold at Sally's Beauty Supply.

Hope you enjoyed reading this!
