Hunger Games themed nails v.3


I wanted to try out some of the new Hunger Games colors from the new China Glaze collection.  On the index and pinky I used "Harvest Moon" from the Hunger Games Collection.  For the center of the heart on my ring finger, I used "Electrify, which is a gold and red glittery polish from the same collection. Harvest Moon looks awesome in the sun. It's a very shimmery, multi-faceted orange and gold color with a chrome finish.  Very metallic looking.  I added some studs as extra add ons.

Glitz N Glam! Bedazzled Sparkly Nails


I cannot tell ya'll how much I love glitter and gems! Here's another nail design that was really kinda random but I wanted to stick all my rhinestones on one nail to see how it looked.  I painted two coats of a nude nail polish as the base color.  I then applied Nails Inc Special Effects Holographic Top Coat to each nail.  Then I randomly stuck the rhinestones on.  I will probably do a tutorial soon on how I apply my rhinestones because interestingly enough they have not fallen off.  It has been a week and I have showered and played the piano and gone to school and eaten at Boiling Crab peeling shrimp and breaking crab legs and they are still intact!! They wont come off unless I force them off. Anywho, I hope you like it! <3

Free-Handed Louis Vuitton Nails


Free handed Louis Vuitton nail design inspired by my sister's t-shirt. This took me forever!
I used a hot pink and a black nail polish and added some nail polish thinner to make it easier to paint with, and painted the designs on using a small art paintbrush.

Nail Stamps with Hits Jazz Flake Top Coat


Stamped the design and added HITS Jazz flake top coat from shop.llarowe.com. Main coat is China Glaze's Fast Track from the Hunger Games collection

Blue floral nails


stamped with glitter (China Glaze Fairy Dust) and flakes (HITS Jazz) top coat!!

Newspaper nails - sealed with a kiss!

I've done the newspaper nails a few times before but I decided to not do all the nails with the newspaper effect.  I used some red rhinestones to form the heart on my ring finger.  For the index finger, I used the bm02 plate to stamp the lips.  I think I may do a video tutorial on newspaper nails sometime soon because everyone has their own ways of doing it and I've found a way that seems to work pretty well.

p.s. i didn't apply top coat because it tends to smear.
