10 Days of Valentine Day 8 Black and white tutori

Hi all
Todays mani has to be one of my favorites so far, it doesn't scream Vday, but it is very feminine, and again it's for those of you who don't care for Valentines Day. This would go great with that little black dress too.

Mani Time: 20 minutes (yeay!)

Nail Polish used
Black : Wet n Wild Ebony Hated Chris
I tried to make these mani simple and easy, as well as economical. The black I used is Wet n Wild Ebony hates Chris. This polish is non expensive and can be found anywhere. It is streaky and takes about two coats to cover ( my china glaze only needs one). For nail art it not the best because even though it say fast dry, it still streaks when you add a topcoat. If you are not willing to invest in more expensive nail polishes, it is always a good idea to invest in a good top coat such as Seche Vite. It helps to prevent streaking, I have used others and the only one I stick to is Seche Vite. Also the polish is not very shiny on its own, the topcoat made it much better and makes it last longer. I used this because like I said it's a basic black, I dont want to spend a lot on a basic black, and my topcoat saves me from disaster.

White
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear : White on
Great polish and not very expensive, dry time is great and it's great for nail art.

Glitter
Sally Hansen Gem Crush: Big Money

After the hearts do a glitter gradient on the other nails. Check out this tutorial made by Lissapolishaddiction. It's a great video to check out. 

I simply loved it.. I might just do this for my Vday mani it's so simple and yet so cute.

10 Days of Valentine Day 3 leopard and tutorial

Hi all
Day three of Valentines mani is here. This is a super easy mani for those of us who don't like reds and pinks and stick to more natural colors. This mani is simple yet has small details that stand out with the right light.

Time (20 minute)
There is no complex mani for this I thought it was great as is.

ON THE THIRD DAY OF VALENTINES DAY MY TRUE LOVE SENT TO ME...FUR!...OOOOH

For this I used Essie Very Structured, but remember any brown can be used. Please don't use a really dark brown or else you wont see the red lines of the leopard print very well.

Don't let leopard print scare you it's really quite simple.

For the rest of the nails I used a striping tool ( or clean eyeliner brush) to paint a line through the brown.  

Finish with a topcoat and your done.

When I first tried leopard print I did the long lines first and then adding the dot inside. It didn't come out very nice, but with small practice it can turn into something as easy as tying your shoes.
If you do attempt with whatever colors don't hesitate to share!
Enjoy!

10 days of Valentine Manis Day 1 Art and Tutorial

Hi All
I am super excited to start my 10 Days of Valentines Mani. This is how it will work.

All mani are will be done in less then 30 minute ( seriously!)
First mani will be fairly simple. and under 20 minutes to achieve.

I will add to the mani for those of you who want more detail. Although I do want to mention that these will not be hard in any way and nail art will be as simple as possible, yet still beautiful.

I will suggest regular household tools, drugstore brands, and colors so everyone will be able to replicate, regardless of the tools needed ( lets improvise people!)
I will end on February 13.. that way we will actually have  time to pick a mani and create it.

ONE THE FIRST DAY OF VALENTINES DAY MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME.....HIS
HEART!

This is Step one mani.

First step took about 15 minute...Please let base coat completely dry. I used Sally Hansen White on. I used seche vite as a top coat which dries super fast , but other brands will dry in ten about minutes ( I didn't put topcoat on ring finger). This is important because you do not want tape to come up with your base color. If this is good enough, add topcoat to all and your done.

Next mani if you want to continue.

I used my finger paints polish for this.  A striper brush works too. If you don't have any of those you can always use an old clean liquid eyeliner brush, it works just as well.

And for the final mani... This took me 35 minutes to achieve...I think it would take less time if I wasn't taking pictures in between.

For the gradient I used my New Krafty Gurl Indie glitter polish and created a little gradient. Simple black and white dots would look great too. Dots can be achieved with a dotting tool or the end of a bobby pin. Remember the more pressure on the nail the bigger the dot. The less pressure the smaller the dot.

What do you guys think? Can you achieve this in less then 30 minutes. If you do give it a try, feel free to email me or  post it up on my facebook page.

Enjoy!
