Some [not so pretty] NOTD's

Hey all!

Today's post is just going to be a compilation of NOTD's that didn't turn out all that great. I'm shocked I even took pictures of these manis but I'm glad I did because it shows me that I have improved a little! :) Yay!

I'm still desperately searching for a nice yellow polish. This one is Kleancolor - Neon Yellow, about 3 coats topped with Spoiled - Pet my Peacock. Ugh, worst yellow polish ever.

Oh, Robin Moses, you make painting on nails look SO easy lol I always feel so motivated after watching her videos and then I get results like these when trying to recreate her manis:

(This is 2 coats of China Glaze - Agro with free-handed acrylic paint 'flowers')

And last but not least, a funky french attempt. I free-handed it so I have to give myself some credit but...

(I honestly don't remember what was used...only that the black is acrylic paint)

Oh! Hold on...found one more terrible picture! This mani was actually awesome IRL. It was lose holographic glitter that I sprinkled over wet polish! :) The camera just never wanted to focus. :(

Thanks for stopping by! xoxo

I'm so excited after logging in and finding several new followers! Hello and welcome to you all! :) I feel so pumped after reading all of the lovely comments from you guys...thanks so much!

I am currently naked (lol...just took off my 'geometric mani') and having trouble deciding which untried to put on next! So for now...I'll leave you with some past NOTD's. Hope you like them!

Estoy super contenta después de haber visto que tengo nuevos seguidores! Hola y bienvenidas! :) Ahorita estoy en el proceso de quitarme la manicura geométrica que puse el otro dia y ver cual esmalte usare hoy...entonces para mientras las dejare con unos NOTD que tengo en mi photobucket que todavía no les e enseñado. Espero les guste!

Revlon - Naughty aka Perplex, 2 coats/capas

 

Then I decided to make it a Robin Moses inspired mani by using The Best Glue Ever and Martha Stewart glitter. Using a watered down version of TBGE and a striping brush I made vertical lines on my nails and then scrubbed in red, green, and holographic glitter. After adding the glitter...my lines didn't look like lines anymore so I added a few black lines using black acrylic paint and a striping brush. This looked so cool IRL! Thank you Robin Moses!

And here is a random swatch of Maybelline - Cool Couture, 2 coats/capas. I felt like this looked so blah on me...maybe it needed some stamping. :(

Okay...now I'm off to rummage through my untrieds! Thanks again for subscribing! xoxo

I.Hate.Mondays!

Just when I thought things could not get any worse, they did. I accidentally ran over a parking block and messed up my car. I don't even want to know how much my stupid mistake is going to cost. I just adopted a dog, the person I work for has seriously cut down on my work days and now the car problem. I feel like all I ever do here is whine about my personal life but times have been rough! Sorry! :( Anyway, this is all so depressing because all of this money is money that could have gone to pretty polishes I've been wanting and now it is looking like I'm going into a low-buy/no-buy.

Back to what this blog is about...today I have a Robin Moses inspired mani. I did this a while back and totally loved how it looked in person. Obviously mine is no where near as awesome as Robin's but I tried! The base polish is China Glaze - Harvest Moon (love this color!) and the design was made using acrylic paint I bought from Michael's. The brushes used were those cheap ones from eBay that come in a 3 pack.

Ahora me encuentro un poco deprimida, discúlpenme. :( Ayer fui a hacer un mandado y pegue mi carro contra un bloque de cemento en el parqueadero. No tengo idea como es que no logre verlo! Estoy un poco preocupada por razones de dinero. Como les conté, hace poco adopte a un perrito, la señora con la que trabajo no me esta dando muchos días de trabajo y ahora con lo del carro...no se ni lo que voy hacer.

Pero dejando mi vida personal a un lado, la manicura de hoy fue inspirada por Robin Moses. Claro mi diseño no me salio como el de ella pero era mi primera vez jugando con pinturas acrílicas y brochas! :) El esmalte que tengo puesto es China Glaze - Harvest moon y las flores las hice con pinturas acrílicas.

sorry for the blurry pictures!
