My first attempts at nail art

As promised,  here are some of my original attempts in January.  Some are a little sloppy.  So, forgive me. But, I had to start somewhere.  At least you can see from my more recent attempts that I learn fast lol.

This is my 1st Konad.

This is using black matte over regular black polish.  Eh....keeping the matte part up was horrible.  Every time I washed my hands, the matte just looked really bad. I had to refresh it a few times.

These stickers just were really difficult to deal with.  I didn't like how you could still see some of the adhesive material.  Just not a great experience. I added some gold flecks to a few nails.  But, probably won't use those stickers again.

I tried using the shells from my Cina collection.  It was cute actually.  I liked it.

This was eh.  I don't really like the China Glaze base color.  I think I would have preferred a more clear blushy color.

Excuse the sloppiness.  This one was a bit gloppy.  But, it's alright. Just sloppy.

Hi everyone!  Welcome to my page!

I just started growing my nails at the end of December.  I usually don't have long nails because I make jewelry and play instruments, so they usually have to be short.  But, for some reason this year, I just felt like being really girlie.  So, I bought a bunch of polish and nail art tools and have started to learn to paint my nails and take care of them.  I used Nail Tek II Intensive Therapy and Nail Tek Foundation II for my base and then go from there.

I will post a few of my previous attempts at nail art over the weekend.  Here is my current polish.  I used Orly Matte Blue Suede on my tips diagonally.  I then painted over top of that with China Glaze Luna (leaving a small line of the Matte visible).  Then I used a silver nail art polish/brush to paint a silver line (leaving a small space as to not draw on the matte).  I used Seche Vite on the bottom part of the nail (making sure not to paint over the matte).  You probably could do that before you put on the matte.  I was winging it so ended up doing it last.

Let me know what you think!
