Mommy Swagger nails!

Hello!
Feliz cinco de mayo!

Today's post I will be showing all the nails I did while at the Mommy Swagger expo. Most of them were young girls, but I did do a few teenagers and even some ladies! In all, it was a lot of fun and I think everything really liked their manis!

Nail Art Expo!

Hello! 

Sorry for being away for so long! The reason is that I was very busy preparing for the expo in which i was going to have a nail art booth in! This expo, called Mommy Swagger, occurs semiannually in texas, and is dedicated to showcasing the most unique hand made crafts. Most of the other booths were variations of really nice handmade jewelry, knitting, aprons, clothes, and photography. Mine was the only nail art booth, but there was one other booth which sold handmade nail polishes! Over all i had a great time and it was such a nice experience. I basically did nails all day long while getting paid! Dream job.

Most of the clients i got were young girls and teenagers, because nail art is such a hip trend now, and also 2 or 3 adults who were attracted to the designs. I literally, literally took my entire room along with me, since most of my room is nail related haha. I got a pretty satisfactory amount of people to get their nails done with me and also lots of the parents of the young girls were asking if i could do birthday parties, similar to those at makeover places like Sweet and Sassy!

Most of my booth, I had 2 tables, one a gallery of sorts, and the other is the work station!

work station!

I tried working on two people at a time in order to minimize waiting time

 

The gallery table where the people looked at designs and chose one out of the design binder

Union Jack Nail Art!

Hello!

I haven't blogged in a few days :( Mostly because I've been so busy with school and exams..

But here is a super fun manicure with different variations: the ever popular union jack!

The base I now use for this design is an awesome blue glitter from China Glaze called "Dorothy Who?"

I do the union jack with my striping brush, first doing the white part then the red..

I even did this for my friends when we went to see the amazing Florence + the machine in concert!

and here is another variation: 

Until next time!

Neon Pink and Butterfly :)

Happy Monday! 

I hope you all had great mondays, because as we all know, mondays suck.. I'm starting off my monday with a cute manicure! I've got a hot pink/neon french tip on a sheer peach base! I'm getting loads better with free-handing the french tips with my striping brush.

I really love this combination of subtle and popping pink!
Next, I free-handed a butterfly as an accent nail! This is actually my first ever butterfly design!

Until next time!!!

It's a Trap-eze!

Happy Friday!

Today's look is a really interesting and unique colour, and I admit it's not for everyone... Some people want to throw up when they see it, and some people love it so much that they stock up on multiple bottles at once! I'm talking about China Glaze- It's a Trap-eze! a very cool rainbow glitter from the Cirque Du-Soleil collection from 2012.. I had been looking for it for so many weeks until I found only one bottle at an Ulta 2 cities away from my city! It's a Trap-eze! is rainbow hex glitters of different sizes suspended in a milky lavender base, and it's a bit sheer on it's own. The best way to explain this polish is that it really looks like Funfetti cupcakes. Or confetti..

This is when I first wore it, the night I purchased it :)

And this is yesterday's manicure!

Until next time!

Layla Holographic!

Good Afternoon :)

Over the summer, one of my best friends went to Italy on holiday and while in Rome, she picked up an awesome nail polish as a gift for me! She gave it to me on the first day back at school and I was so ecstatic, it was my first ever holographic! I had always been so obsessed with the holos from NFUoh but they were always out of stock on the website :( So she got me a Layla Holographic! This holo is really great, and truly shows every colour of the spectrum, even when not in full sunlight!

This is Layla Holographic- Jade Groove.. She also got for herself the aqua version of this and it also looks great!

I experimented with some striping tape...

Thanks leticia for the amazing polish! love you :)

Until next time! :))

Blue/Gray and Flowers!

Hey Hey Hey :)

I've been so busy with school these past few days that I've had the same nails on since Friday! Gasp!
That's actually a really big deal for me since I usually can't go 3 days without changing my mani.
I've also been working on an art project for the past 2 weeks and I'm finally about to finish it!

Today's post is a soft and pretty manicure I did when I was really into floral designs, which I still am, but not as much.

Also here's a sneak peek at the progress on my drawing! It's nowhere near finished though...

Until next time!
