NailartFeb Challenge- Smooches

This is the Smooch! nail design I came up with. I like the idea of this updated ruffian manicure, since it adds a cooler texture to the conventional look, almost like snow. 

 

I achieved this look with using Sally Hansen's Gray by Gray as a base, the using a small piece of makeup sponge and French White Tip by NYC I crated this frosted effect, I then used a small nail art brush to draw the lips with Salsa by China Glaze

 This was probably one of my favorite manis of this challenge because I was a lot more creative with this and I think it cam out great!

Moisturize within three minutes of getting out of the shower, that is when your body will soak up the most moisturizer and stay hydrated throughout the day.

Nailartfeb 2013 Challenge- Flowers

So Here is the second look, flowers! I decided to do just a dotting tool flower. I am thinking of learning the one stroke technique, but I would have to get some acrylic paints, since those are necessary for the one stroke technique!

 I started with a base of Sally Hansen's Gray by Gray, followed by a dotting of Revlon Temptress and China Glaze Flyin' High. I used a medium and small dotting tool for the flowers.

 I would rank this design as easy. The only semi-difficult part would be placing the dots within the flower the right space from each other, but other than that, you should be able to re-create this mani with ease.

Adding a teaspoon to hard boiled eggs while boiling will make the peeling process easier!
