Intergalactic, Planetary

I seriously loved having this nail design on. It was so vibrant and cool looking, plus, as an astronomy lover, rocking galaxies that I added constellations to was pretty fun.

To create these, I coloured blue, purple, and magenta Sharpies on my nails, then took a brush dipped in rubbing alcohol compound to blend them. I will make a tutorial on this. After a quick top coat, I added the stars and constellations using white acrylic.

My thumb is the constellation Orion, my pointer finger is Libra, my middle finger, Lepus, my ring finger, The Big Dipper (Ursa Major), and my pinkie, Cancer.

Better view of Orion.

So for me, in the game of astronomy vs. astrology, I definitely take the astronomy side. What about you guys? Let me know!

Tropical Watercolour

This design came about during the freezing cold (and what felt like never ending) winter here in Canada. I was missing summer like crazy, so I decided to bring the tropics to my nails. 

The gold nails are Golden Eye from OPI. My other three nails all started with a base of Sure Thing from Revlon. For my ring finger and pointer finger, I used blue, pink, and yellow sharpies diluted with rubbing alcohol compound to create the sunset effect. I then added on the palm trees and palm fronds using black acrylic.

I'm happy to say the weather is nice here now, but a couple months ago, these nails were the closest thing I had to warmth.

See ya later!

Tropical Watercolour... Again

Before I painted the nails on the previous post, I had these tropical babies on. When I say the winter was bad here, I mean bad. Every time it seemed like it was ending, it started snowing again. In fact, it snowed one day last month... Yeah, not fun. So tropical vibes on my nails were really needed.

The base on all nails was Sure Thing from Revlon. As with the last post, I created the watercolour effect on these nails using Sharpies, and rubbing alcohol compound. To achieve this, I scribbled the Sharpies on a plastic container lid, then dipped a brush in rubbing alcohol and applied it to the nail. I'm going to do a tutorial on this technique soon, so keep your eyes peeled! Finally, the fine details were added with black acrylic.

Close up time.

One more shot of all the nails. 

Hoping the weather is nice wherever you are!

Many Mini Masterpieces

Say that 5 times fast. ;) I just realized I haven't shown you guys my latest Sharpie manicure that I did a couple weeks ago.

Top left is Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, top right is The Scream by Edvard Munch, bottom left is a piece by Piet Mondrian and bottom right is Banana by Andy Warhol. All the designs are down with Sharpie permanent markers.

No Music, No Life

Hey guys! Here's my latest manicure.

This whole manicure is done with Sharpies. The only nail polish used was top coat. My pinkie is music notes, my ring finger is a pair of headphones turning into a heart, my middle finger is a Billy Talent song and my pointer finger is Green Day lyrics. Finally, my thumb says exactly how I feel about music: no music, no life. I seriously think I'd die without music. And below is a picture of my finished binder which my nails from last Mani Monday were inspired by. I've included a picture of my nails if you forgot.

Hope you guys enjoy! 

P.S. I'm working on some sketches right now, and I hope to post them this week for you guys to see. Plus, I'll be posting my manicure for a concert I'm going to this weekend. And is anyone else excited for the MMVAs (Much Music Video Awards)? I am!! (Billy Talent will be there!!!!!)
