Hello my kittens~~
Super quickie post~
I'm going to post the nails that I have right now~
it's just a simple Graffiti nail but I wanna share the look ^w^


I used these two things~~
 I used these things
1- Zoya Snow White
2- IsaDora Graffiti nail top in Subway Green

 This is how the base looks like


 And this is how it looks like with the top coat~
I honestly don't think this combination is the best, but I don't know what to 
combine my top with...


 And as a bonus my and my Kitty playing PS3~~~ 
And Hello kitty PJ~

Hope you enjoyed this micro post~~

Thanx for reading and see you in the next post~
Love & Kisses to all ~~ <3<3

Pikachu nail art~~~

Hello everyone~~~
I'm here with another beginner Level Nail art tutorial~~
*Warning: The level of this tutorial is beginner level only because I'm a beginner and 
I am not so good at nail art, but if you're better you can do a better version than mine~~*

So Let's start with the tools~
1- An unwanted angled make up brush

2- Another make up brush *use the back of it* + a ball point pen

 3- Lots of Q-tips

4- Nail polish remover *for booboos...*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nail polishes needed:

1- Yellow nail polish *I used Pippa by Zoya*

2- Black Nail polish *I used some random polish I picked up*

3-White Nail polish *I used Snow White by Zoya*

4- Red Nail polish *Claire's red polish was used~*

5- A top coat whichever you like

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Left hand:
I'm going to link the youtube video I followed the instructions from, it's much easier to understand~~
I love this Youtube guru sooo much~
she's awesome and does some lovely nail art tutorial~~

But instead of using a dotter for the checkes I used the brush itself
and I used the ballpoint pen for drawing the mouth and nose~
Final picture:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right Hand:
As all of you know I'm a right-handed person who have no control whatsoever on her left hand
so I suck at using my left hand...
That's why for my right hand I chose a simpler design and it turned out quite good~~

It's not perfect, but there is so much I can do with my left hand....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So that's it for the blog post, I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you create fun and cute designs of your own~~
^w^

P.S. I don't own the designs I found them online, and just recreated them~~
Thanx for reading the post and stay tuned for the next post~~
Love & Kisses to all ~~ <3

Nail Tutorial with limited tools~

Hiya Everyone~~~
So I was wondering what should I do for my next post...
So I was doing my nails 
and I was listening to All American Nightmare- Hinder~~~ <3
A part of the lyrics is "Red, White, Blue*
Funny thing is....
I already did my nails the day before with base of Blue and White~~~
XD

I though I might as well do something fun with my nails~
So ended up with the USA flag on my nail ^w^
*Warning: This is my first Nail art attempt ever!! So of course it's 
Not awesome or the best nail art Tutorial in the world...*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So what you need:
1- Many many Q-tips
2- A box of tissues *or whatever you use for removing nail polish*
3- Nail Polish remover *Any brand as long as it's good is fine*
4- A normal paint brush *I only used it on my right hand, because I can't manipulate the regular nail polish brush with my left hand....*

5- An old and unwanted mechanical pencil
*It's very useful for drawing tiny details*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So here are the base colours:

1- Zoya's Snow White nail polish
*I forgot to shake it before taking the pic... but I love this shade, it's pure white and has a matte-ish finish*

2- Caris Gold in Blue No. 40
*It's just a random nail polish that is peel-off-able? is that even a word.... Anyway it's very opac
and amazingly rich, I mean one coat is enough and you don't have to use nail polish remover for it~ <3*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You just need one more color and a top coat now~ ^w^

1- Claire's Nail polish extra strong in Red 42
*You can see it's a bit faded.... This is a heavy duty nail polish... It's beautiful red not to bloody and not too orange, it's just perfect I love it~ I'm glad I got this as a gift from Claire's*

2- Rimmel London 60 seconds clear top coat
 *Probably not the best top coat.... it doesn't dry up in 60 seconds.....
But it's not bad either so meh, use any top coat you want.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```

Point: Pictures of the process don't exist because I'm very messy when I do my nails,
and if I took pics it will look like a horror show and I will get polish on my camera....

Step one: Start by doing your base coats, and build it up so the color is strong and not see through.
-You can choose which fingers to put on the white and the blue colours on your on, but I had 7 white base fingers and three Blue.
-And the reason for that is white looks okay on it own, but dark blue is a bit harsh and it doesn't work well with this nail look.

*This is the only pic of the process I have :(*

Step two: Get your red nail polish~ and start drawing some strips on the white base~
-Point: Don't draw red strips on all your white base nails, it will look too much...
-For my left hand I drew the strips using the brush of the nail polish itself, cause 
I'm used to using thick paint brushes anyways *Yaay artist advantage*
but for my right hand *I'm right-handed people* I needed to use the painting brush because it's easier to use
when you're drawing with your opposite hand~

Step three: Take the white nail polish brush and drop a few drops of the white nail polish on a board *I used a card I had* and from there, start dipping the mechanical pencil *make sure the graphite is not pointing out... we're working with white here, maybe some other dark colors it'll be fine...* 
and start making dots on the blue nail base *dots are easier to deal with as you will notice the white polish will run out fast, plus make sure the dots are close to each other.*
-Start making a shape for the stars, do as many as you like, but I only did two on each of the two blue bases *I left one base empty*

Wait for all of it to dry and then add your top coat~

This is the finished look~

 Left hand *a bit messy...*
 Right hand~~ * a bit messy too*
~~~~~~~~~~~~

And that is it~ 
Sorry it was a bit boring and looooooooooooooong
I wanted to cover everything ~
I guess this goes for all my lovely friends from USA~~~ <3
Thanx and that's it for this post
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Peace out my lovelies~~~~~
Love & Kisses to all <3
