Tribal Eyes

Hey guys! After about a day of wear with the tribal accent nail, I decided to add some art to my other nails.


The tribal accent nail is left unchanged from last week. Then, the nude base on my pinkie and middle finger is Sheer Nude from Orly, then on the middle finger, I painted an eye using a white striper. I outlined the eye with a black striper, then painted the iris and pupil using blue and black acrylic. Finally, my pointer finger is a base of Sure Thing from Revlon, with a sort of chevron pattern painted using a black striper.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Aloha!

Aloha guys! I just returned from Hawaii a few days ago, which is why I haven't posted in a couple weeks. I wanted to show you guys my nails from the vacation, as well as some photos of Hawaii.


I started off with my nails like this. My ring finger is a gradient of Pool Party from China Glaze and Watermelon from Essie for the sunset and Blue-Away from Sally Hansen and Ogre-the-Top Blue From OPI for the water. The sand of the island is real sand from the beach near my house here in Canada. I made the palm tree with a black striper. The rest of my nails were a gradient of Pool Party and Watermelon.


A sort of foggy looking photo underwater at Waikiki beach in Oahu.


After about 5 days in Hawaii, I changed up my design. I used Pool Party and Watermelon, as well as adding in some black and white stripers. On my thumb I wrote "aloha", which has three meanings: hello; goodbye; and I love you. I was going for "hello". On my ring finger, I wrote "shaka". Shaka means "hang loose" or "good vibes". 


This is a catamaran on Waikiki beach.


This is surfboard rentals on Waikiki beach. 


And a sunset at the Polynesian Cultural Centre. 


And finally, a photo from snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.

A Little "Peace" of Me

This manicure was kind of random, but it sort of showcases a bit of me.


The pinkie is a watercolour effect using Watermelon from Essie, Sunkissed from Sally Hansen, Lime Up! From Essence and You Belong to Me from Essence on base of White On from Sally Hansen. Then I added a black french tip with acrylic. My ring finger has a base of Black Satin from Rimmel, and the writing is in acrylic. The middle finger is a peace sign, with a watercolour effect again. The peace sign is black acrylic. My pointer finger is chevrons with a base of White On and black acrylic. Finally, my thumb (not pictured), was a simple half moon mani in black with the watercolour effect for the base.

So, this manicure sort of represents me for a few reasons. First of all, I think I'm pretty colourful and creative. Next, I absolutely ADORE rock and roll. It's my favourite type of music. And I'm all for peace, which goes along with the whole idea of rock and roll. :)

Hope you guys enjoy!
