Christmas Presents

I had a little Christmas vacation. So back to nail polish, here are the presents I got for Christmas!

This one was from my mom.  It reminds me of Valentine's Day.  Since I use nail polish more for nail art then painting my nails a solid color, I prefer to get  more, but smaller versions of the polishes.

These were from my sister.  The left-hand one is Silver Shatter by OPI.  The  reddish-orange one is  Riveting by China Glaze.  It's part their Hunger Games collection and matches up with District 3 for their technology.  You can search up Hunger Games Nail Polish on Google to see the whole collection.

Christmas Tree

Merry Christmas guys! I hope you got many presents today.  Here are some from me.

Materials: Gold polish, sparkly polish, yellow polish, clear coat, tape, scissors, and a toothpick

I used Fall Mood by Revlon (gold), Sunshine Sparkle by Revlon (yellow), I Miss You by Sinful Colors (sparkles), and Fast Drying Top Coat by Wet n Wild.

Paint two coats of gold polish

Let it dry completely and stick on two pieces of tape in a Christmas tree format

Paint on a sparkly polish of your choice.  It might take a few coats, so leave the tape on until  your done.

Use a toothpick to dot on a yellow star on top of the Christmas tree.

Paint a top coat and your done!

Christmas Dots

Materials: Gold polish, white polish, light green polish, clear coat, and a toothpick
I used Fall Mood by Revlon (gold), Never Been Kissed by Wet n Wild (white), Mint Fusion by Wet n Wild (light green), and Fast Drying Top Coat by Wet n Wild.

Paint on 2 coats of gold polish.

Use the toothpick to paint on the dots, first the white (leaving space for the green), and then the green.
Paint on a top coat.

Snowy Day Tutorial

Materials: Light blue polish, white polish, clear polish, toothpick, and makeup sponge
I used Dreamer by Revlon (blue), Never Been Kissed by Wet n Wild (white), and Fast Drying Top Coat by  Wet n Wild.

Paint on two coats of light blue polish.

Sponge on white polish on tip for the snow on the ground.

Use the toothpick to dab on white dots randomly for falling snow.

Paint on a top coat.

Now you can recreate the look I made yesterday by painting the Christmas Dots on your thumb, Christmas Tree on your ring finger, and Snowy Day on the rest. Have a great Christmas!

DIY with Flashdrive

My flash drive cover is clear, so I often can't find where it is.  I decided to paint it with my new polish, Radiant.  

If you choose to do this, then it's best find a polish that corresponds with the flash drive's cover and overall color.  Read the list below to find out what shade polish corresponds with what type of cover.

• A light shade for dark covers
• A dark shade for light covers
• Any shade for clear covers

Notice how my flash drive is blue and has a clear cover.

   After I painted my cover 
To match the color of my flash drive, I could paint it any shade of blue because my cover was clear. 

Tada!!!

New Polish

I just got some new nail polish today.  They're going to be used in tomorrow's flashdrive DIY.

The sparkly blue should be used over another polish, preferably over a cool color.  The pale yellow is a more springtime color, reminding me of Easter.

The blue polish is called Radiant and pale yellow one is Sunshine Sparkle.

New DIY with Flashdrive

I've been busy with tests, quizzes, homework, and papers, but I have a new DIY I just thought of.  Get your flashdrive ready for a makeover with your favorite nail polish.  I'll have the pictures uploaded soon.

Mixing a Dark Green Christmasy Color

A Christmasy Sparkle

**There should be more light green than black

Materials: Light green and black (Mint Fusion and Heavy Metal), toothpick, brush, plastic

 Drop a large blob of light green on the plastic.

  Drop a small blob of black on top.

 Mix with the toothpick.

 Drop a humongous blob (2 small blobs) of light green on top.

  Mix with the toothpick.

Apply to nail.

This last picture doesn't show how pretty the color is, but the one above gives you a clear image of it.  The polish also has a sparkle to it from Heavy Metal.  The mixture reminds me of a Christmas tree.  

You don't need to use the colors I did, light green and black are fine.  The sparkles would be an accessory.

Mixing Colors

Nail polish colors can be mixed together to make any new color.  You only need red, yellow, blue, black, and white to make any color you want. I'll be showing you guys how to make your own colors. Each color made is unique.  Tomorrow, I will be posting how to make a dark green christmasy color.

Cool Heart

I wanted to share this really cool chipped away heart that my nail polish made.

DIY Decorating with Nail Polish

I thought this calendar book looked boring, so I decorated it by painting a purse on it.  

Way to Make Neon Colors Brighter and Easier

There is a quicker and easier way to paint neon colors on your nails than painting multiple layers and waiting for each layer to dry.  The first step is optional, but your paint on favorite base coat.  Next, paint a thick white coat of polish.  After the white polish is completely dry, paint on one layer of neon polish and notice that the color pops out already with only one coat.  Finally, seal it with a top coat.  This process is less time consuming and the colors come out more cheery and bright.

Checkered Nails Tutorial

 Materials: tape, 2 contrasting nail polish colors (light and dark), and clear polish

 Paint one layer of your light polish.

 Paint on a second coat of that polish.

 Wait for it to completely dry and stick on two pieces of rectangular tape with their corners matching up in the middle. Make sure that they are securely sticking on the nail.

Paint on your darker color.

After a few seconds, take of the tape carefully.

Paint on your clear coat.

New Tutorial Coming Up

I will be posting a tutorial tomorrow or the day after on how to do checkered nails.  I've been having some technical difficulties with the pictures, but I'll figure it out soon.  I can't wait to post my first tutorial.  Hope you guys like it!
