Chevron Nail Art .. Then & Now

September 24, 2014 


Hello lovelies ! 
I was so excited when I read this weeks challenge for the Nail Polish Queens Community ! 
I've been wanting to re create this mani for quite some time now & this gave me the perfect excuse to do it! 
I first did this design in September of 2013 so one year later girls! You can see the older photo below or here
I decided to go with a different base color seeing as though we are now into fall :( cold is on the way girls! 
Haha && I also decided to freehand the chevrons instead of using tape as I did last time. 
So it truly is quite the improvement for me.. New base, freehand chevron, longer nails, WAY better cuticles & better photos !! 
Hope you all enjoyed !

Chevron Nail Art

September 12th, 2014 

So everyone should know .. 
Chevron is one of my most favorite nail arts to do. Their are so many different ways to make chevron look chic or tribal or pretty much anything! 
Hehe .. 
I had a white & black chevron mani in mind for a while now but didn't know what I was really going for with it. So once again back to the drawing book! Little sketches can always go a long way when you need help with a design. Hope you all like it !

Lucy's Stash Inspired

September 10th, 2014 

Hey dolls !
So I finally got some time in to do this weeks challenge for the G+ Nail Polish Queens Community!
For this mani I was inspired by
Lucy's Stash freehand lace nail art
& I must say she did one hell of a job..
The design reminded me of a cloth that you'd see on coffee tables & stuff so I fell in love.
Although it was very tricky to do.
I used acrylic paint instead of polish .. Hoping it would make it eaiser to do but it didn't , haha .
overall tho I like the outcome of mine & it was very good practice on free handing !
Hope you all enjooy !

Marc Jacobs HONEY Inspired

Marc Jacobs HONEY Inspired Manicure

Hello everyone ! Today I've got a super cool mani to show you!
& it was inspired by a new perfume I got by
Marc Jacobs HONEY 
& as soon as I opened up the box I knew it would make a great mani.
Who knew such a little bottle could have so many ideas ?
So for a while I started jotting down design ideas until I had a design for every finger.
Each nail is a design from either the box or the bottle. 
I must say I am very proud of myself for doing this all on my own. I usually always head straight to google for a little help or inspiration. But this was all me ladies!
Haha .. But I must mention the bee could have been drawn a little better..
But we all know my free handing skills are not the greatest so it had to do.
But overall I love it, it captures every design on both bottle & box of the perfume
& smells amazing too! 

Hope you all enjoyed!
