Tokidoki Nails

As you probably could tell from my blogs background Im pretty obsessed with tokidoki so I was thinking to myself this whole time I have yet done some tokidoki nails and I remember why because it wouldn't measure up to the BEST TOKIDOKI NAIL EVER!!! they were done by Holiday over at Silence is Loud you have to check out her blog!! she does the best nail art ever! I still gave my tokidoki nail a try.

I ended up doing something simple over a manicure I already had I started with a beautiful blue Essence Just Rock it and then topped it with Golden Rose Scale effects 15. I did the Tokidoki logo on my ring finger with a white nail art polish.





I really love tokidoki I even got a new tokidoki tattoo its only the outline right now but I cant wait till its finished!
You can kinda see my other tokidoki tattoo on my back.

This is where I got it from.

Have a good week ladies the weekend is almost here!

Hibiscus Nail art

I recently bought a sarong dress at the beach and it had such a pretty print with a bunch of beautiful hibiscus that I just had to do my nails to match. So I remember I had tried flowers like that after seeing a post on Ash-Lilly's blog and it was one stroke art using acrylic paint. I Youtube it to get a refresher on what exactly I was doing. I watched this video (yes its in French)



I got started I used Wet N Wild white cream as the base for my ring finger and thumb for the rest of my nails I used Zoya Robin. Its not perfect but I love how it came out!




I like it so much that I had to do the matching pedicure! I said I would never post pics of my toes here but they came out better then my finger nails. I took these picture while I was out on a canoe with my kids at work so there is already some chips. IWARNING TOES PICTURES!



Have you ladies done nail art designs using acrylic paint? if not you need to go to your closest art store and pick up some paints because it is so much it come out so beautiful and it super easy to make any design!

I was up very late last night so I decided to do some nail art. Ive been meaning to do some free hand stuff and I remember a post I seen on Emerald Sparkled on roses over a mint polish. I loved the look and wanted to try it out. Ive been working on my free handing and getting better at using my left hand so this is my 1st design after all the practice . Click Here to see Emerald Sparkled post, she also has a tutorial on how to make the roses on her blog.

This is everything thing I used:
Revlon Minted
Elf Fluorescent pink
LA Colors Art Deco Light Pink
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Jumpin' Jade
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Mint Sprint
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Clearly quick
Seche Vite
Base Coat
Dotting tool and Nail Brush


Left Hand
Roses
Right Hand
 Roses
I did my left hand 1st and I started off doing the the light pink with the striper brush and it didn't look so good so I switched to a nail brush. Ive been practicing using my left hand and ironically I am now better with my left then right. Well I hope you like it and give it a try.
