Beauty Tips for Women: pink with a pop

Posted on September 12, 2014 by admin

The weather has been rainy and gloomy and I wanted to brighten my mood. I decided that a bright pink with a pop on the accent finger would be the best way to go.

Here is a list of what I used for this manicure:
Salon Perfect – Fired Up Fuchsia
Salon Perfect – Summer Escape
Salon Perfect – Plum Sorbet
Salon Perfect – Bermuda Baby
Milani – White One The Spot
Rica – Whiteout
Cheeky plate – CH15

I used two coats of Fired Up Fuchsia except on my accent fingers. On my left hand accent I did one coat of White On The Spot and left the right accent finger bare. For the gradient I used Summer Escape, Plum Sorbet and Bermuda Baby. I wanted to see the difference of doing the gradient on a white base and then on bare nails. I stamped the hearts image from CH15 using Rica Whiteout and topped it all off with Seche Vite.

Right hand.

Left hand.

I think my gradient came out better on my left hand. Overall, I was happy on how it came out. It definitely brightened my day.

Beauty Tips for Women: National Pink Day Manicure

Posted on June 24, 2014 by admin

June 23rd is National Pink Day, so to celebrate the day I did a pink manicure. I’m posting it a day late but still wanted to share.

I started off with two coats of Zoya Michelle and two coats of Milani White On The Spot and topped it off with Seche Vite.

I stamped the image from Cheeky Jumbo Plate A. I have had this plate for a bit and this was my first time using it. I had such problems picking up the images. I kept getting a lot of bold spots, which was very frustrating. I tried several stampers and still had the same results.

After stamping the image I had to go back and fill in the bold spots as best I could.

Over all I was happy how the manicure came out. Happy National Pink Day!

Beauty Tips for Women: Saint Patrick’s Day Manicure

Posted on March 6, 2014 by admin

On the blog today is a cute manicure I did for my four-year-old daughter. At her school they are having a several Saint Patrick’s Day events and she wanted her nails done for all the events.

It always is a challenge to get a design on her little nails, so for this manicure I decided to use nail decals. I purchased Fing’rs 3D Saint Patrick’s Day nail art decals #31293. They are super cute and just the right size to fit her nails.

I started off with two coats of Milani White On The Spot. Using Maybelline Bold Gold and a dotting tool I made some dots on her pink and index finger. Placed a four-leaf clover on her ring finger and the word “lucky” on her middle finger. I love that these stickers have a little crystal bling already on them.

She wanted a rainbow in her manicure. I was able to fit two decals on her thumb; so I placed the rainbow going into the pot of gold.

My daughter loved how her manicure came out.

Over all I love how easy it was to use the Fing’rs nail art decals to make this manicure. The designs are cute and they stick on perfectly with no issues. I give Fing’rs five brains!
