Spring Roses

Hey all! It's been a while..I have been very busy and well the last thing I have time for is my nails. As of lately I have had a bit of time at night, so I have tried to do a few tutorials/nail looks. I just need to find the time to edit them now, haha. 

Anyways, today I bring you these super easy and colorful nails. These were inspired by the roses my dad has planted around the house. Ill have to wait until the morning to take a picture but they are just beautiful!

This design only took about 10 minutes so it is perfect for those of us who don't have much time. At first I wanted to have a green background to simulate the roses being on grass but I decided against that because (in my opinion) the sheer pink background makes the colors stand out more.

What do you think?

What I Used:

Base- Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in Sheer Bliss #22

Dots- Sinful Colors in Snow Me White #1

Roses- Red: L.A Colors Color Craze in a red color (Sorry, label is missing)

Orange: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Sun Kissed #150

Yellow: Santee in Yellow #22

Leafs- Sinful Colors in Innocent #944

Dotting Tool

Small Brush and Polish Remover

Apply your base coat, and a layer or two of a sheer polish. I used two coats.

Using the bottom of your brush, create dots where you want your roses.

Using your dotting tool, start to create your roses. I have a tutorial on roses HERE.

Add leaves to your roses, and clean up your edges with using a brush damped in acetone.

Voila! You are done!

I am honestly really happy with these. I know my roses are not the best, but I still love them. They are just so bright and spring to me.

Mini Series: Halloween Nails- Spider & Spiderweb

Today was an exciting day! I received nail mail WOHOOO!! Who doesn't love getting nail polishes?! I think we can all agree its a good feeling, specially when they're something you haven't tried before.
My nail mail consisted of a DEL SOL nail polish, Maybelline Color Show Holographic, and Sally Hansens Magnetic. Pretty awesome right?!
I couldn't wait to try one, so I used the Maybelline Color Show Holographic for todays nail tutorial.

Here is the polish before the spider and spiderweb:

(This is with two coat on.)

Isn't it just too pretty?!?! The color was hard to capture on camera, but this is somewhat close. The color is named BLUE BLAZE. It almost looks like a very silvery grey, but its more like a super silver color with hints of blue. (Does that make sense, HAhA)

On to the tutorial:

• Clear nail polish (Sinful Colors- Clear Coat-1064)
•  Holographic nail polish (Maybelline Color Show Holographic-Blue Blaze-05)
• Black nail polish (Wet n Wild- Black Creme-424A)
• White nail polish (Sinful Colors- Snow Me White-#1)

Mini Series: Halloween Nails- Eyeballs

These would be perfect as an accent nail, don't ya think?

And hey, if blue is not your color, go ahead an use whatever color please you! There are going on YOUR nails after all. :)

Today, I will show you draw these super easy eyeball nails! This, in my opinion, are a Halloween staple. I hope ya'll enjoy the tutorial, and remember if you have any questions please let me know!

• white nail polish (Sinful Colors- Snow Me White)
• blue nail polish (Sinful Colors- Aquamarine)
• red nail polidh (Mary Kay-Coral Stone)
• black nail polish (Wet'n'Wild- Black Creme)
• small nail art brush
• clear nail polish (Wet'n'Wild- Clear)

Paint your nail white.

With the nail polish brush (or your nail brush) make a blue circle in the middle of you nail. 

I used the nail polish brush, and sadly it came out wonky but I think it adds to the creepiness.

With your nail polish brush, add a circle to the middle of the blue.

I put mine a bit off center so it would seem as the eye was looking away.

Now, using your nail art brush, make small red veins coming from the edges.

These are simple, draw them anywhere you want.

To finish it off, add a small white dot to the black and blue. This is to give it more depth, and it makes it look more like an eyeball when it is reflecting light.

Apply a top coat and you are done!

As for the rest of the nails, I left mines white. You could draw this on all of them but I liked it more as just an accent. Also, if you want to add a bit more creepiness to this, you could use red food coloring or red lipstick around your nail to make it seem like bloody. :)

Don't forget to send me pictures if you do try this or tag me on instagram! (SunshinesImaginarium)

Mini Series: Halloween Nails- Mrs. Frankestein

Hello guys!

Sorry I have been absent after a week of regular posting...I have been coming up with ideas for this mini sereies HALLOWEEN NAILS!

Unfortunately, there won't be many Halloween DIY's..but I hope the nail tutorials will keep you satisfied :)

To kick things off, I will be sharing how to create Mrs. Frankenstein. 

Isn't she cute? :)

(And yes I know shes supposed to be green, but I saw this one on google images and I liked how it looked)

• White polish (Sinful Colors-Snow Me White)
• Red polish (Mary Kay-Coral Stone)
• Black polish (NYC Black Cream)
• Silver polish (Milani-Ms Milani)
• Topcoat 
• Small nail brush
• 
  

After pitting on your clear base, paint your nail white.

 With your brush, draw hair leaving a small gap in between.

 Add a small stripe of silver.

 With the bottom of the brush (or a dotting tool) add two dots for the eyes.

Again with your brush, draw two lines above the dots you just made, and a long one bellow for the mouth.

 To finish, add two red lines for cheeks, and your topcoat. Clean around your nail and you are done!

As for the rest of the nails, you can paint them with the silver, or a green. It's all up to you.

Remember to not let the polish dry on the brush, and to clean it every time you are changing color.

Hope you guys enjoy this, and I will be back with a nother one soon :)

If there is any nail or DIY tutorial you'd like to see, please let me know!

How to: Roses on nails

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love flowers. A lot. S of course when I saw this nail design on Instagram, I knew I had to recreate it. I love it. Its simple, but it looks cute. Would be perfect for every season! Yes, even winter! Haha 

And yes I know I am not the best at this, yet. Keep in mind this was my first time trying to please don't be too harsh, I know a lot of you will be able to do this better. :)

Anyways, here we go!

You are going to need a light color for the base of your rose, and then a darker shade for the designs.

• Sinful Colors-Snow me white (#1)
• Sinful Colors-Be Happy (#982)
• Sinful Colors-Aquamarine (#979)
• Sinful Colors-Island Coral (#1103)
• Sinful Colors- Innocent (#944)
• Wet N' Wild- Wild Shine in Lavender Creme (#454D)
• A small brush (Remember to clean it with acetone every time you are switching nail polish)

• Paint your nail your base color. Let that dry.

•  With your nail polish brush, make some dots on your nail. Here, use the light colors you've chosen. Let this dry really good, if you do not, drawing on your nails will indent your polish.

• Using a small brush, draw a c in the middle of your dot.

•  Then, draw 3 bigger c's around the middle one.

•  Draw 3 to 4 even bigger c's around the outer edge of the dot. Add small green leaves and finish with a top coat.

I hope you enjoyed! If something was not clear please let me know! And as always, if you'd like to request a tutorial on a design you can leave me a comment down below, Instagram me, or email me! Also, if you try this, I would love to see a picture :)
