Oops, I Did It Again...

No, I'm not referring to the Britney Spear's song with the title of this post. What I mean by it though, is oops, I painted a Mickey Mouse manicure again. Yes. I know. I've only painted Mickey Mouse manicures a hundred times before, but I can't help it. I just love that mouse.

But, of course, since it's Christmas time, I had to create a Santa Claus Mickey Mouse. I started with a base of the Sally Hansen gel colour, White Away. Then I added in the details with black, white and red acrylic.

And here is my super creative photo in a Christmas ornament. :p

Less than 3 days until Christmas!!

Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal

My favourite Christmas movie of all time is Home Alone, so I decided to do a quick manicure in tribute to it. 

The base is You Only Live Twice and The Spy Who Loved Me from OPI. Then I wrote the famous quote (from the movie "Angels With Filthy Souls" that Kevin is watching in Home Alone) with white acrylic. It was a pretty simple manicure, but it was fun to do.

I can't believe Christmas is almost here!!

The Big Jingle

Last week, I won tickets to The Big Jingle, which is a huge Christmas concert put on by Much Music. So of course, I just had to paint my nails for it.

My pinkie is for the band Hedley. The base is Black Satin from Rimmel, and the letters are acrylic. On my ring finger, I painted The Big Jingle logo. The base is White On from Sally Hansen and the design is acrylic. I did a Christmas sweater design on my middle finger with a base of You Only Live Twice and The Spy Who Loved Me from OPI. My ring finger was the Fall Out Boy logo, on a base of White on with acrylic detailing. My thumb (seen below), was the Much logo, with a base of Black Satin.

Here's a photo of my nails at the concert. Much Music even shared my nails on Twitter!

These are some shots of the stage. By far, the funniest, and most entertaining act of the night was Ylvis when they performed "What Does the Fox Say?" (seen below)

Pretty much everyone who performed did amazingly. Fefe Dobson and Serena Ryder both had beautiful voices, and Hedley and Fall Out Boy (below) both rocked it.

Enjoy!

More Art!

I have a few more drawings I've recently done, that I added on my art page.

A  horse I drew.

Gerard Way's eyes, the singer of the (late *cries*) band, My Chemical Romance.

A lyric portrait of Oliver Sykes, the singer of Bring Me the Horizon.

And I guess this is sort of a self portrait, but mainly I just liked the quote.

Lest We Forget...

Today, November 11th, is Remembrance Day; a day to remember all of those who have and are serving in a war. In honour of today, I painted something that truly represents remembering.

A simple poppy. The base is White On from Sally Hansen, and the poppy is all acrylic. At some point today, try to take a moment to remember all of those who have served. 

Lest We Forget

Happy Halloween!

Well, it's the most spooktacular day of the year again: Halloween! So I'd like to start by saying happy Halloween, and also feliz Día de Los Muertos, since today kicks off those festivities. My official Halloween day manicure this year resembles mine from last year, which you can see here, but I changed it up a little bit.

The black is Black Satin from Rimmel, and the white is a white French Manicure pen from Sally Hansen. All the details are acrylic. As I mentioned last year, I think Sugar Skulls are quite beautiful, and the whole idea of The Day of the Dead is pretty cool. I like how it's a celebration rather than a scary, gloomy event.

I also happened to make a Sugar Skull drawing. It's all done in Sharpies.

I hope you guys enjoy! Have a fun (and safe) time tonight, whether you're trick-or-treating, at a party, or just relaxing at home! :)

Mini Manicures: Halloween

With Halloween just a few days away, here are a couple of mini manis for you guys to check out! The first of course, is my spiderweb nails. This is the third year of done them, and you can see them here from last year.

It's the exact same tutorial as last year. 

1. Start with your base polish. I used Reveal Everything Red from ASP, which is a gel polish (more on that soon!).

2. Using a white polish or striper, draw your web shape and fill it in.

3. Use a black striper to draw in the web.

4. Finish drawing in the web, top coat and you're done!

I love this manicure because it's pretty simple, and most people can do it. Plus, people tend to be amazed by the spiderwebs, so get ready for lots of compliments! 

This second mini manicure is a vampire mouth, but you can change it to be any monster mouth.

1. Start with a base coat of red or pink for the lips. Once again, this is Reveal Everything Red.

2. Using black (I used acrylic paint), paint the inside of the mouth.

3. Add in the teeth in white. The teeth can be for whatever monster you'd like. I went for the pointy canines and made it a vampire, but try all sharp teeth for a werewolf, or all flat teeth for a Frankenstein look. Top coat and you're done!

Hope you guys enjoy! Stay tuned for more Halloween manicures!

I'm Just the Dreamer Type

On Monday night I went to a Ghost Town concert, VIP too, since it was totally affordable for a teen on a budget. ;) The whole concert was actually the Bryan Stars Tour, which featured four other bands (SayWeCanFly, Oh No Fiasco, Modern Day Escape, and Her Bright Skies), with Ghost Town headlining.

The next band was Oh No Fiasco. They were absolutely phenomenal! I bought a CD from them and got it signed! :) I also got a photo with them, but unfortunately, their singer wasn't there for it, but my friend and I did talk to her earlier in the night.

And here's my Ghost Town nails.

So this is my second Ghost Town manicure, which is based off the Ghost Town artwork by Alister Dippner. If you haven't seen my first one, you can see it here. My thumb is based off the Dreamer artwork, which is one of my favourite Ghost Town songs. The base is Frostbite from China Glaze, and the filigree and writing are acrylic paint. On my pointer finger, I painted a part of their album artwork (Their album is called Party in the Graveyard). The base is High Line Green from NYC and the design is acrylic. My middle finger is based off of the artwork for their song Tentacles, with a base of Let's Get Lost from Essence and the detail is acrylic. On my ring finger, the design is inspired by You're So Creepy. The base is Gypsy Queen by Misa and the filigree and writing is acrylic.

Alister drew me a unicorn on the back of my VIP pass. :)

This is Lindsey, the singer of Oh No Fiasco. She has an amazing voice! Here's my favourite song by them.

And here's Alix, during one of Ghost Town's acoustic songs. Here's one of my favourite Ghost Town songs.

Finally, here's a super close up of my nail, just to show in fact, I did paint these, as you can see paint strokes. :)

Hope you guys enjoy! Get ready for Halloween designs coming at you! Any requests for Halloween??
