Galaxy Nails - Mach 3

6/29/2014

0 Comments

 
This is my third attempt at galaxy nails and it is by far my best.  I recently got my order of MoYou nail stamping plates which included a sci-fi themed plate, and this was a good design to use to break them in!

I took pictures of them with a flash and one without and I couldn't decide which one I liked best.  So here's both!

Minneapolis Comic Con 2014 - Firefly Nails

5/3/2014

0 Comments

 
This weekend was the Minneapolis Comic Con.  It was quite the spectacle.  I picked up some bitching prints, saw some crazy (and lazy) cosplayers, oh, and I got my picture taken with Nathan Fillion!  Obviously I had to paint my nails to match the occasion, and after watching the entire Firefly series while I was off work being sick, naturally I decided to do Firefly inspired nails.
I had to keep it simple because I still was not feeling well.  So, I ended up with a gradient of Jayne Cobb's hat and did a simple line drawing of said hat.
This picture was also taken after a few days of wear.

There's really nothing special here.  I really just wanted to try my new neon pink and I have been doing too many simple gradients lately, so I jazzed it up a bit with some sparkly triangles.
I believe this picture was taken a few days of wear.

Seinfeld Inspired Nails

4/6/2014

These are inspired from one of my favorite scenes in Seinfeld where Jerry is dreaming that he put Uncle Leo in prison (I'll try to attach the video below).  In the scene, Uncle Leo is doing pull-ups and he has JERRY and HELLO as knuckle tattoos.

The scene is at 0:27

You might remember that I've done these before, but I got very shitty cell phone pictures.  So here they are in natural light with a decent camera!
I did these for a wedding I went to.   I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you haven't gone out and bought these polishes and tried this yet, YOU MUST!  I promise you won't be disappointed.

Yes, the title is a bit lengthy, but how else would you describe these?  Well, I suppose "striking" would also work.

There's a mini-tutorial below.
Picture
Go Go, Mini Tutorial!
Step 1: Paint 2 coats of black
Step 2: 2 Paint a matte top coat
Step 3: Carefully dab your blue glitter on to create the half-moons (I used 2 different blue glitters)
Step 4: Paint just the tips with a clear coat
Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy!

Polishes Used:

Blue Glitter #1 - China Glaze #857 Dorothy Who?

    About Bailey

    I'm 29 years old and I just moved to New York City with my boyfriend and little monster dog.  I've been doing nail art off and on since I was a kid...that's about 17 years!  But I really got back to it about 3 years ago. 
    As you can probably tell, my inspiration comes from my love of TV shows, movies, games, and other miscellaneous pop culture.
