FIERCE Gold and Orange TIGER Nails

For this nail design, I wanted to make something with animal print that was fierce!. And this is what I came up with. I hope you like it and try it out yourself!  The main colors are gold with an orange accent nail, and black for stamping.

Here are the actual items I used. You do not need to use these exact items to do these nail design. If you don't have these exact nail polishes, you can work with colors that you already have in your collection :) 
Base colors:
•Loreal - boozy Bunch 102
•Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear- Golden-I 485

I painted all nails with gold (Sally Hansen Golden-I) except for the ring finger, which I painted with an orange  polish (Boozy bunch)

Design: 
•konad nail stamper and scraper
•bundle monster image plate BM-223 zebra/tiger design 
•Kleancolor - black 5
•dotting tools- in my video tutorial I actually used the back of pain brushes
•black acrylic paint

On the nails that have the gold  as the base color, use the bundle monster BM 223 zebra design, and use the black nail polish and scraper to get the design on the stamper, and then stamp it over the nails. 
For the accent nails with the orange base color, use the dotting tools or the back of paint brushes to draw a tiger paw. It's eat if you do the paw with a larger zized dottin tool and then using a smaller one for the finger paws. 

Clean up any messes around the design using a quip dipped in nail polish remover and finish with a top coat!! 

I really hope you like this design!

Strawberry banana coconut S'mores

Happy national s'mores day!!!

One of my favorite parts about going camping is eating those chocolatey and gooey marshmallow campfire toasted s'mores. But why wait until you go camping to indulge on these delicious treats when you can do them any day of the week inside your own home!! These s'mores have a yummy fruity twist to them and will amaze your taste buds once you try them. Here's how to make them:

Ingredients:
•graham crackers 
•milk chocolate bars
•marshmallows
•strawberries
•coconut shreds
•banana

Next what you want to do is: 

To assemble:
You will need a baking tray where you will be heating the s'mores in the oven. I lined mine with foil paper in case the marshmallows made a mess, but it is really not necessary. 

First, place your graham crackers in the backin tray. You will need two half crackers to make 1 s'more. Here, I will be making 2 s'mores, so I have 4 half crackers, but you can make more or less. 


Next, you will put chocolate over two of tge grahm crackers. Cut the chocolate as needed so they fit perfectly and cover the entire crackers. In my case, I was able to fit 4 small Hershey's squares and cut one in half to fill one half grahm cracker. 


You will then top the chocolate with marshmallows. You can put one of those jumbo sized marshmallows the sell on the stores, several mini marshmellows, or in my case, 2 jetpuffed stacker mellows. 


Next we are going to move the other half crackers that do not have the chocolate or marshmellows. On these, put four banana slices on each one.



After that, put strawberry slices. I had large strawberries, and was only able to fit 2 slices per half cracker. But you can put more or less depending on what you can fit. 

To finish, top the crackers with strawberries and bananas with shredded coconut. 

Melting the goodness 😝
Place your s'mores in a 400 f oven, or toaster oven. For this part, you want to be very careful and keep a close eye the entire time. You do not want to over burn the marshmellows. All you want is for them to develop a soft brown toasted color and for the chocolate to heat up so it melts easly. This can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes. 

This is how it should look when ready. Take out of the oven and leet cool a little bit before you stack them together and enjoy them. The marshmellows will be golden and gooey and the chocolate will be soft and melted. The strawberry, banana and coconut just add a delicious twist. You have to try this! 

I hope you try this out and like them.

It's summertime and the sun is shinning brighter than ever! Here are three easy nail designs perfect for this fun season. All of these designs are inspired by my favorite season of the year, SUMMER! They require no special tools but polishes, toothpick, a makeup sponge, and nail polish remover for clean up. (I bet you already have all of these already, so let's try these designs together!)


Design #1: watermelon nails. 


I don't know about you, but there is no other fruit for that is most perfect for summer than a delicious slice of red jucy watermelon. Not only does it taste awesome, but it's super healthy because it is full of antioxidants and it's great for keeping you cool and hydrated during those hot summer days!so why not show it off in your nails? 

Here are the items I used yo create these watermelon looking nails: 
Design #2: Colorful Gradient Ombre Nails
Nothing shouts summer than bold bright fun colors. This nail design is perfect because it is an explosion of just that! This design looks complicated, but it is the funnest and easiest to do. It's a bit messy and you need quite a few polishes, but it's all worth it!!! It kinda reminds me of tye die raimbow or a beautiful beach sunset. 

Here are all the items I used for these colorful gradient summer nails:


Design #3: Summer Flower nails
Summer flowers are so bright and gorgeous! Despite ge intense heat, some of the most beatiful flowers actually bloom during the summer. That's why I chose this nail design to be a floral one. I chose a bright orange and it's complementary color, blue, to make this a great summer nail design!

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ4th of July nailsπŸŽ‰


What a better way to celebrate this coming Independence Day than by having a patriotic nail design that show off red, blue and white! 
This nail design is so easy perfect for 4th of July and you'll be sure to get compliments! 

Here's what I used and what you'll need to do this design yourself! You don't have to use these exact same products, but I'm just showing you what I used:)























































1)Start by using the silver polish and painting all your nails. White would also be a perfect color instead of silver if you like.                                                                     
2)Using bundle monster Image plate BM-205, paint the image on the far right. Use red polish to cover half of the design, and red for the other half. Use your scraper to scrape the excess paint. 
3)transfer the image to the konad stamp and roll the stamper with the image over the nail. Repeat to all fingers.                                               
4)use a q-tip dipped in nail polish remover or acetone to remove any nail polish from your skin or cuticle around the nail.                              
5)use a clear nail polish over the design to use as an adhesive fir the next step.                              6)use small glitter stars and apply them on your nail in the center between the red and blue. You can finish by applying a glossy topcoat that will deal everything together. 




I really hope you liked this design.

2015 Easy Back To School Nails: Cute Pink Pencil Nail Art Design


Back to school is just around the corner and what a better way to start classes than with the manicure shows off the most used  school tool; the pencil.  This fun and easy nail look will get you many compliments from your school mates and the best part is you can do it your self, and it doesn't require Any special tools or artistic skills!


Here's what all I used for this nail design:

Tape (preferably clear tape)
Sheer pink nail polish (Nicole by o.p.i-Blush of adrenaline)
Silver nail polish (Sally Hansen insta dry - 230 silver sweep)
Pink nail polish (Sally Hansen insta dry-fast fuchsia)
Black striper (L.A colors art deco-black )
➡ I also used acetone to clean around skin as well as base and top coat (Seche Vite)
1)Cut a small strip of tape and apply it to the nail near the cuticle area. The tape will serve as a stencil to get straight lines.
2) Paint with silver polish and remove tape. 
3)After the silver has completely dried, cut another strip of tape and place it about 1/2 cm over the silver and paint over it with the pink polish. Don't remove the tape yet!
4)Using the black striper paint vertical lines over the pink. Remove the tape.
5)Repeat to all fingers except the ring finger. They should look like the top "eraser" parts of a pencil (a pink pencil :)

6)For the ring finger,  cut two small pieces of tape and place them on the nail forming a "V" shape.
7)At the tip, use the black striper and paint about 1/4 of the nail (starting from the tip). This will create the lead part of the pencil.  
8) Next, use the pink polish, and this time paint 1/2 cmm away from the black and paint all the way to the cuticle area.Once dry, add another piece of tape horizontally so that only the pink is left exposed.
9)With the tape still on, use the black striper to draw vertical lines 
10)Remove all pieces of tape and viola, you have a pencil! You can use a q-tip with acetone for clean ups around the nail and add your favorite top coat on all nails. 

I hope you like this design and give it a try :) Also good luck in school!
