Twinsie Tuesday: Soft and Feminine

I'm late for Twinsie Tuesday AGAIN T.T

This time it's not entirely my fault I swear! I've been sick this weekend and I was going to write up my post yesterday but my computer decided that it didn't want to work. I was trying to download the new version of iMovie and it just completely shut down my computer. Technology right?? But it's all settled now so I'm finally writing up my Twinsie Tuesday post woohoo!

The theme for today is soft and feminine. I'm super excited about this post too because I really wanted to try out this one stroke ribbon method I saw Madamluck do on Instagram. Man, it's way harder then I thought it would be to do! But I figured it out and I can't wait for you guys to see what I've come up with!

I started out with a base of Sinful Colors Snow Me White. Then I created the ribbons using a pink and lighter pink acrylic paint. I outlined the edge with a slightly lighter pink acrylic paint and created the dots using two different teal acrylic paints. Finally I sealed everything in with a coat of Seche Vite and that was it!

So they OBVIOUSLY didn't come out as good as Madamluck's did (she's a goddess!!) But I'm quite proud of these ribbon nails and really want to revisit this technique again soon.

What do you guys think? What color combination would you like to see?

Don't forget to check out everyone else's Soft and Feminine nails, I can't wait to see what they've all come up with!

Inspiration Nation: One Stroke Flowers

Hi cupcakes!

I think it's time for another Inspiration Nation post! My inspiration this time comes from a blogger that I have always idolized! She does amazing nail art and her nails are just freaking gorgeous!! That's right I'm talking about the awesome Lucy from Lucy's Stash :) One of the many amazing things that Lucy does is one stroke flowers. I've always wanted to do one stroke flowers... actually I tried them once wayyyyy back in January and it wasn't a complete fail, not nearly as good as hers but I knew I'd want to revisit them some day. Lucy actually wrote up a tutorial post for one of her one stroke flowers so I figured that would be a great place to start ;) 

I started with a base of Zoya Aurora. Gosh I love this color! Zoya really hit the nail on the head with their 2012 Christmas collection! After that was dry I followed Lucy's tutorial and took white and purple acrylic paint and painted on the flowers. Then I took black acrylic paint and outlined them. After some top coat I was done and super proud! 

They aren't perfect but I think they are so much better then my last attempt. Practice makes perfect that's what they say right? Not to mention Lucy's tutorial made it so much easier too!

What do you think? Watch out for more one stroke flowers on the blog because I'm totally hooked!! 

One stroke roses

 Good morning!!

I've been wanting to try one stroke nail art SO bad! Finally I sat down the other night and gave it a whirl :) I looked up multiple tutorials but the one I ended up going with was THIS one by Cute Nails. Take a look at my first attempt at one stroke nail art! :)

Colors used:
- Color Club Glitter Wonderland
- White Acrylic Paint
- Dark Red Acrylic Paint

Obviously I need more practice but I have to say I'm pretty proud of these ones :) They actually look some-what flower-ish! 

Anyone who wants to do one stroke nail art should definitely watch the tutorial I posted above. It wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. I can't wait to try this one again along with other one stroke techniques :)

So what do you guys think? 

Thanks for reading :)
