Oh.. an update on the contest! haha I am currently at about 760 views! Remember at 1,500 I will have 3 lucky winners of some beauty products! Top winner will even get the products used in their favorite design I've created! (as long as I can find them, if not I will find dupes of the products!) Exciting, right? Plus lots of makeup goodies! I will have two other winners to get prizes too!
Without you all, this blog wouldn't be successful so I definitely will be giving back too you all!
Also, the facebook contest... when I reach 150 friends on the fan page I believe is what I said lol there will be another contest! I'm already collecting items for the give away! You can find that fan page by looking up LB BeautysMagic. =) I know not everyone who reads this will add as a follower or even want to make a name to connect with me here so facebook is always open for questions, requests, whatever you all want to talk about! Introduce yourselves! =) The beauty of makeup and nail art, whatever is that you can share what you love with others too.. it's a way to express yourself, so EXPRESS AWAY! haha
Now I've talked too much, time for the nail tutorial!!! haha
Neat, huh? I found those decals at the local Rite Aid! As well as the colors and top coat so you can get all of this at your local Rite Aid or maybe at Walgreens,.. don't quote me on that!!!
What you will Need:
Left: my favorite top coat Sally Hansen Insta-Dri anti chip top coat
Middle: Pure Ice in the color, Rio (this color is beautiful.. a purply fushsia color with blue and purple fine sparkle that the camera didn't pick up)
Right: Wet n Wild FastDry nail color in Hannah Pinktana (Name is corny, right? haha Color is beautiful though! Almost sheer purple with lots of multi colored sparkles!)
Sorry this picture is not turned the right way, it is resetting it to match the other picture's size..
I got these decals at Rite Aid. They are called Broadway Deluxe Nail and Body art Kit.
This comes with a top coat, glue to put the gems on your body, and a wooden stick to pick them up and such..
I used the stick but just used my favorite top coat, not the one they provided. Not sure how that works!
For this design, I just used Wet n Wild FastDry nail color in Hannah Pinktana as the base coat because I couldn't find mine and this is a really sheer color... This is a no no in nail designs but I did it anyways.. Don't copy me on that part! haha Always use a base coat to protect your nails from being dyed the color of your polish! I'm crossing my fingers that mine won't be messed up!!
Anyways...
I used two coats of Pure Ice nail color in Rio. It makes a beautiful purply blue color! This was the best pic I could get to show some of the blue tint too it.. Sadly I did my nails at like 3 AM and I didn't have the greatest lighting. Sorry lovelys! I will be getting better lighting ASAP!
Beautiful color, right? I've been wanting to use this color for awhile now! haha This design will definitely stay awhile! lol
I then took Wet n Wild FastDry nail color in Hannah Pinktana and put only one coat over the Rio color. I love all the sparkles!! I think this is just a beautiful combination for summer and will definitely do it again! lol
The Hannah Pinktana was a color I found on sale awhile ago but even now I think it's only like a 2 dollar polish! This is a little thicker than the other polishes I usually use but its not hard to use!
Now for decals!
To apply them, its a little annoying and you have to have patience. lol I reccomend if you use this set, make sure you set out all the decals you are going to use for all 10 nails. I found out I didn't have enough of the little pinky tear drop shapes for all the nails to have two of them. lol So only my three middle fingers are this design.
For my pinky finger, I just made a butterfly almost looking shape with some of the other decals they have in this set!
But the beauty of doing nails is you make it how you want it! Be creative! You don't have to do the same as I did! I just loved this combination! =)
My thumb, I decided, to make almost a flower pattern. =) I thought the colors were pretty together.
Usually in my designs you'd find some striping of silver glitter or something but I felt with all the shimmery of all the multi colored glitter, this worked perfectly without anything extra added.
I did 2 coats of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip top coat over this and it dried seriously fast!
Well lovelys, I hope your week starts out well and you have been doing well since the last time I posted! I promise to keep posting and keeping up with you even though I maybe getting a bit more busy in my everyday life! I always make time for creativity though! I'll post again soon! =)
Thank you again! You are all beautiful, never forget that! Stay smiling!
Until next Time,
XoXoXo,
LB
