Shiny Limy

I was so happy to get so many response about pacman nails today. Just want to thank you all for commenting, it is relaly important for me to know your opinion.
Today i have for you a shy, modest, pastel manicure with limes. It is a really great idea, however very hard to make, since stamping must be done on the certain exact spots and this is very hard to achieve. I complimented it with litle sparkle, to emphasize lime borders and to hide extra edges of green.
For base color i used polish that i got yesterday from the dollar store, and the under the limes is mint Mochito.

Crazy about fimo fruits

I am seriousely thinking aout getting acrylic nails. And the only reason i want them, is that i want a design with fimo fruits,baked into the clear acrylic, so the nail is smooth. If i just piut the fruits on tp of the natural nails they gonan be highter then the rest of nail :(
How do you guys think, or may be know for sure, what is put a coat of the clear acrylic on the natural nail and bake fruits in it
i so adore nice fruity nails, and i so much want to see it on my nails. However acrylic nails supposed to last couple weeks , but i don't know how long i will like the same design, since right now, i change my nails almost every day ( THANK YOU, CHEATERS OF SECHE VITE!!! )
I nether had acrylics before, so i am also a little worry about how is it going to feel and if i can stand it. Please share your expirience about acrylic nails, and let me knwo what do you think about my desire to ge tit?
Here are some fruity nails - something like this is what i ahve in my mind
Pictures are from russian social network site and from the site that i can not find anymore, but pictures are labled. I ll take them off after a while, just really wan tto show you good examples of what i am taking about.




Here the design is not smooth, and this is not what i want, i want fruits to be inside the nails

Pacman Nails

I was thinking about this manicure for months, really, and i am very happy i finally found my muse and inspiration and made it. i really like how it turned out, and i wore this manicure for 2 full days - which is really a lot for me :) This is not like i am a fan of PACMAN or anything, i just think this is very "manicurable", and look creative and bright on the nails. The cashier in walmart complimented my nails with this design .
Did any of you played a real video game mashine Pacman? IS where any of you who don't even know what Pacman is?



Right hand :) I think i am just awesome :D (kidding)

POLKA DOTS!

These are Birthday nails. I used polar bear art glitter mixed with clear acrylic. The polka dots are from cinapro.com I used a thin coat of acrylic and added the dots then I capped them with clear acrylic. I hope you enjoy your nails Mia!

Revlon Runaway Collection Review

I finally put my hands on this famous product that have been recently showing up really a lot in beauty blogs. This is first time ever that i have got a samples from cosmetic companies for reviews and i am very proud :) However, i promise to be honest and clear with my reviews this time and in the future.
What do i think about faked nails - not even acrylic or gel, but totally plastic and faked?
Well before recently all i could have though about was - who hell would by and wear this stuff :) However Revlon runaway have changed my mind a lot about it. Trying those nails on i realized, that it really could be great one evening solution, if you have an event and don't have time to take better care of your manicure. I would not wear it for a week as Revlon states they can be worn, but you know what? I hardly can make couple days with my own manicure, because i just get tired of the same design.
The other problem that i faced is that tips were still too large for my little nail beds, but this is my own issue, if you have normal size nails, i am sure you ll be able to find the right size tips, since the set comes with nails in a huge variety of size. The really important thing is taking it off, do not even think of pulling it, because it will significantly damage your natural nail. The best way to remove is to put your fingers in acetone and wait about a minute.
I really liked the designs, and i really loved how it looked on my hands, i even went grocery shopping with Revlon nails on, and nails made it just fine.
The only thing i did not like about the set, is the smell of plastic, which is quite strong, and does not go away even after washing hands couple times, but other then that i think it is a useful and interesting product, if you use stuff like this, this probably would be one of the best.



Eye lashes extension is also part of Revlon Runaway collection, but i did not try it yet, i am gonna ask my friend to review it, since she is an expert in false eye lashes


This is my favorite design - it looks so perfect on the nails

NAILS AT THE BEACH

Is it possible to be in love with nails? I just love love love these nails. They are too much fun! Once again this is polymer clay that I purchased from kennickkreations.com The turquoise blue acrylic mimics the ocean and then we have all sorts of fun stuff to go with it...

French nails with lilac petal flowers

No, this is not for a bride though it looks like it. Customer wants a clean french look, with some flowers and crystals and this is what I gave her.
