Meet the Flintstones!

Hello Everyone,

Wow!  This was a challenge.  I didn't have a lot of time to work with and I still am waiting for my eye to heal fully (can't really tell I've missed something until I take pictures).  But, I did the best I could.  I hate Betty lol. My goodness what a challenge she was for some reason.  And, unfortunately, I was putting Betty down and my hand touched Wilma while she was wet with a fresh coat of Seche on her.  So, I had to start over.  But, after all the obstacles, I think they came out decent enough!  Let me know what you think.  My birthday was Monday so we are going to shore for the weekend.  I can't wait!  You can see the youtube video HERE.

The Simpsons as the Addams Family

Halloween is approaching and for the next several weeks, I'm starting some fun Halloween manicures. I will try to give many different design ideas. They won't be all cartoons since I know not everyone can draw to that extent.

Please don't forget to sign up for the contest. And don't forget there is an extra entry post below if you are interesting in more chances to win China Glaze Vintage Vixen Collection.

Now, I did do a tutorial of sorts. It was very difficult to cram 3 to 4 hours of work into 8 minutes.  So, I did the best I could giving a general layout of my process since many people have asked me to show how I do it.  I do have a natural ability to draw and that was also enhanced with some drawing courses.  I basically look at a picture and draw it on my nails.  Let me know what you think!

This is the picture I was copying.

Family Guy Mani

Hi everyone!

It's Friday....YES!  I did this mani for my friend Tracy who broke both her wrists a few weeks back. Feel better boo!  I know I got chincy and didn't do the pinky. I just ran out of time and steam. But, hopefully you will enjoy the rest.  Sometimes these cartoons just wear me out!

Also, I made it to 200 followers. Thanks Everyone! I will be announcing a giveaway very soon!

Have a great weekend!

It's all about the dogs!

This week I decided to do an old school dog mani.  I have mixed feelings about it. I guess it's okay. I'm not feeling it as much as the scooby ones but oh well.

Hopefully, you will still enjoy it.  From left to right is Underdog, Lady, Huckleberry Hound, Snoopy, & Astro.

Scooby Doo....Where are you?

Hi!  I bought some new brushes and some better quality paint and it made all the difference in the world.  Who knew!  The base color is China Glaze Frostbite. So, here is scooby....enjoy!

Simpsons Nails

I never thought it would be so hard to draw on nails but it's a huge challenge. It's very difficult to draw the detail lines and get the perspective right.  I did these in 2 different sessions so that I wouldn't get so frustrated.  The acrylic doesn't lay the best either cause it dries so fast. If anyone has a way besides tooth picks, please let me know.

By the way, if you're interested, vote for my mani http://www.nailjuice.com/p/vote.html.

I did the best I could. It came out decent (don't look to close lol).  For those of you who haven't noticed, I'm having a giveaway.  Don't forget to enter cause free stuff is always nice to receive!

 

Goin down to Southpark

Hi everyone!  Hope you are having a great morning!

I wanted to do another cartoon series (cause I'm insane).  So, I did Southpark.  I'm still trying to get used to the acryllic paints.  It's a bit tough to get them smooth and to lay down.  But, since this is only my 5th time using it, I figure it just takes practice and trial and error.  But, in the end, I like them and they came out cute.  I think my fav nail is chef.  I used China Glaze Paper Chasing for the base.

Let me know what you think!

Spongebob Mani

Hi everyone,

What a week! Anyway, to keep my mind off of the madness, I attempted a Spongebob Mani. I didn't have light blue, so I mixed China Glaze Aqua Baby & Snow. I then used acrylics to paint the pictures.

I had a really tough time with first Patrick and then Sponge. I just ran out of room with sponge. I probably should have used a longer nail. So, I'm the most unhappy with that nail. I love Gary and Patrick though. Patrick's look is definitely how I feel this week lol.

Enjoy!
