Tribal Stripes Nail Art

I did a tribal striping design. For the base I use Orly French Manicure pink. It doesnt have a cute name, only French Manicure. Orly French Manicure is a sheer pink and looks like those jelly nail polishes once you use a couple layers. In between layers of Orly, I used Spoiled by Wet n Wild's "Jewelry Heist". Jewelry Heist is mainly a light champaign pink hex glitter but it has a little bit of turquoise square glitter in it as well. By alterating the Orly and Wet n Wild nailpolishes, I created a base that looks like glitter jelly nails. It's a great way to have subtle glitter on your nails. The black is "Black Magic" by Milani and I used an art brush from Michaels. Enjoy!

Fold-over Clutch

I made these two clutches for one of my friend's birthday a while ago. 

Here is the link to the amazing tutorial I used for both these clutches: ECAB. I had a lot of fun making these. I got fabric from the Moods store in LA and pretended I was project runway.

I used Ultra Suede in Navy Blue and Maroon for this one. The inside lining is vintage cotton fabric I got a while ago at an antique shop. This clutch is actually reversible because out of the zippers I had, the reversible one matched the fabric the best. To finish off this one, I added some brown leather pieces to the zipper so that it would be a little pulley for the zipper.


For the next one I used black suede leather and a light blue linen. There is a simple cream colored lining inside.  The second one turned out better than the first, I think. It's hard to tell in the pictures though. I should have taken more. Next time!

Eye See You Nails


Herro, I did a eye nail design last night. I liked how it turned out. I used these products:

For the eye colors:
Gelish Sea Foam (light green)
Gelish All that Glitters is Gold (thumb base as well, sparkly chunky gold)
Gelish Are You Feeling It? (sparkly chunky teal/emerald)
Gelsih Good Gossip (sparkly red)
Gelish Ooba Ooba Blue (blue, not navy, not royal blue, but pretty)

Pink Base:
Sensational Pink Chiffon

Others:
Finger Paints Stay True to the Art (white)
Gelish Midnight Cover (somewhat watery black with a little sparkle, can't really notice it though)



The sensational gel polish in Pink Chiffon is very streaky and hard to get an even coat with only one or two layers. You can kind of tell in the first picture. I wore this before and I needed three or four layers for the nails to look even. Four layers of gel polish equals very thick nails and a sad mani. I dont think I'll buy another one from sensational unless there is a crazy sale.

The all star of my mani was All that Glitters is Gold, amirite guys?  I am dreading when I have to take it off though. Regular glitter polish is a nightmare, so what does that make gel glitter polish? Hell? I will let you know : ).

Abstract Nail Art

Herro. I really really liked some of Spifster's nail art. I tried to replicate it. Hope I did it justice.
