Billy Talent

So the Louder Than The DJ video shoot was actually supposed to happen a few weeks before it did, so it was at this point that I made the brilliant decision (#sarcasm) to stay up until 3:30 in the morning painting Billy Talent's first four albums on my nails.

Here are all four nails. On my pinkie, I painted Billy Talent I starting with a base of Revlon Red from you guessed it, Revlon. I then painted the details using yellow and black acrylic. My ring finger was Billy Talent II with a base of Sure Thing from Revlon, followed by the details of the mouth breaking through using black, white, red, and yellow acrylic. On my middle finger, I started with a base of Liquid Leather from China Glaze for Billy Talent III. I then painted on the III using green acrylic, and added the birds and distressing using black, and white acrylic. Finally, my pointer finger was Dead Silence, painted over a base of Make Some Noise using Essie. I then painted on the shark and edge of the building using light blue, black, and white acrylic.

A close up of Billy Talent II, aka my favourite of their albums. Although all of their albums are FANTASTIC.

 And here's some closer shots of all four.

Hope you guys enjoy. And if there are any requests for nail art you'd like to see, let me know!

So Sharky

Well kids, it's Shark Week (on Discovery Channel) and I just had to paint some nails for it. Keeping it simple for this manicure. They're not exactly scary shark nails, but hey they're still sharks.

The actual shark designs were based off of the Scratch nail wraps created by Nina Park. My pinkies are a base of Sure Thing from Revlon, then I used Dreamer from Revlon for the dots. My ring fingers and thumbs are a base of Sheer Nude from Orly. Then, I used Dreamer to make the shark and added eyes and teeth with black and white acrylic. My middle fingers are a base of Sheer Nude with stripes painted with Sure Thing. Finally, my pointer fingers are a base of Dreamer with Sure Thing polka dots. 

I hope you guys are enjoying Shark Week, and if not, why aren't you???!!! :p

Anyways, see ya guys later this week with more designs.

Hope you guys enjoy! Nail Guru out. 

Shark Happens

Today, ladies and gentlemen, is a day that will make history. Okay, so maybe that's a bit of a stretch, but another movie about sharks that get sucked into a tornado gets released today. Yup. It's time for Sharknado 2: The Second One. It's cinematic gold. And to mark this absolutely historic event, I painted my nails. Obviously. ;)

The base for all my nails is Black Taxi from Nails Inc. I then applied Yoga-Ta Get This Blue from OPI on top. Then, with very little polish on the brush, I randomly applied Frostbite from China Glaze and Dreamer from Revlon towards the tips of my nails. I painted the shark on my ring finger with red, black and white acrylic. The writing on my pointer finger is white acrylic.

I hope you guys enjoy. And also, beware of tornadoes filled with sharks, and remember guys; Shark Happens. ;)

Dun dun, dun dun, dun dun... shark!

Don't be scared by the post title ;), this post isn't scary at all.

My pinkies and thumbs are a base of St. James Park from Nails Inc., with yellow acrylic polka dots. On my ring fingers, I used a base of Sheer Nude by Orly, then painted the shark using Dreamer by Revlon and white and black acrylic. My middle fingers are a base of White Matter by Formula X, with St. James Park polka dots. Finally, my pointer fingers are a base of Dreamer with pineapples painted from yellow and black acrylic and Sassy by Revlon. This manicure was partly inspired by this article here, partly by summer practically being here, and partly by the fact that I just watched Sharknado... don't judge me... :p

Hope you guys enjoy!!
