Nail Art Practice

Nothing to Disclose

Hello!
You know I am not painting my nails as much as I want because of my job, and that is making me sloppy and out of confidence when I do it, so I decided I had to practice my steady hand and a bit of creativity! Therefore I grabbed some false nails, painted a few basecoats and started freehanding.



Hola!
Ya sabeis que no estoy pintandome las uñas tanto como me gustaría por mi trabajo, eso esta provocando que este muy torpe y teniendo muchos errores cada vez que lo hago, por eso decidí que tenía que practicar el pulso y la creatividad! Asi que cogí algunas uñas postizas, pinte algunas bases diferentes y comencé a pintar.

Hola chicas!

Crumpet's Christmas Winter Challenge #5: Toys

Purchased By Me

Hi!

Do you know when sometimes you feel that a prompt of a challenge is cursed? You don't know what to do... Inspiration has gone on vacation... and every attempt you do ends on the "maybe someday I will have the courage to post it on a fails post" folder... Well this happened to me with this theme, I tried almost everything before I ended with something I liked. I hope you like it too.



Hola!
Sabeis cuando a veces un tema de un reto parece maldito? No sabes lo que hacer... la inspiracion se ha ido de vacaciones... y cada intento termina en la carpeta de "tal vez algun dia tendré el valor de subirlo en una entrada de fails"... Bueno, esto me ha pasado con el de hoy, intenté casi de todo antes de terminar con algo que me gustara. Espero que os guste a vosotros tambien.

Crumpet's Christmas Winter Challenge #3: Holiday Colours

Press Sample Purchased By Me

Hello Girls!

Christmas is getting nearer and this challenge is also moving forward and I am liking every day of it! Today I have made a skittle manicure (all nails different but forming a cohesive whole) with my favourite Holiday Colours, white, green, red, golden, silver and black, did I miss any? haha

Hola Chicas!

La Navidad se va acercando y este reto tambien va cogiendo carrerilla y me están gustando cada uno de los días! Hoy he hecho una manicura skittle (todas las uñas diferentes formando un unico conjunto) con mis Colores de Fiesta favoritos, blanco, verde, rojo, dorado, plateado y negro, se me olvida alguno? jaja

The perfect holiday manicure! On my Index Finger I have used a base of China Glaze Holly Day and then topped it with Yes Love Snow Flack 17. The Middle and Ring Fingers have Flormar 310 as the base, but the first one has stripes made with Wynie 302 and BPS Striping Tape; and the second one has different sized dots made with China Glaze Passion. Last, but not least, we have Kiko Starry Black one of the polishes from the Sugar Matt Collection that is an exact dupe for Zoya Pixie Dust Dahlia.

Es la manicura de Navidad perfecta! En mi dedo Índice he utilizado como base China Glaze Holly Day y encima Yes Love Snow Flack 17. Los dedos Corazón y Anular llevan Flormar 310 de base, pero el primero tiene líneas con Wynie 302 y Stipping Tape de BPS; y el segundo puntos de diferentes tamaños hechos con China Glaze Passion. Por último, tenemos Kiko Starry Black, uno de los esmaltes de la Colección Sugar Matt que es un clon exacto de Zoya Pixie Dust Dahlia.

I think my favourite nail is the index, I really like that Yes Love topper and pairing it with Holly Day was a terrific combination! Also I have seen so many times textured polishes used for accent nails and I have never tried it until now, and I think I like it, although texture is not what I really like to feel on my nails...

Creo que mi uña favorita es la ïndice, me encanta ese topper de Yes Love y juntarlo con Holly Day hizo una combinación genial! Además he visto tantas veces los esmaltes con textura como accent nails y nunca lo había intentado hasta ahora, creo que me gusta, aun sabiendo que textura no es lo que más me gusta sentir en las uñas...

Overall I am very happy with how this manicure turned out. What do you think?

See you soon!!

En general estoy muy contenta con como ha salido esta manicura. ¿Qué pensais vosotros?

Nos vemos pronto!!

Reto Zodíaco: Escorpio

Purchased By Me

Hi Girls!

Because of this Challenge I am starting to learn the order of the Zodiac Signs, I just knew mine, and the ones that come before and after... This month I knew Scorpio was coming because it's the previous one to mine (Sagittarius) and I already knew what I was going to do.

Hola Chicas!

Gracias a este Reto estoy comenzando a aprenderme el orden de los Signos del Zodíaco, sólo me sabía el mío, y los que vienen antes y después... Este mes sabía que tocaba Escorpio porque es el que va antes del mío (Sagitario) y ya sabía lo que quería hacer.

Skulls and Roses

Hi Girls!

This year I have not joined any Halloween Challenge, but that doesn't mean that we are not going to have any Halloween manicures around here, in fact, from today every manicure will be Halloween themed (except maybe one review I prepared a long time ago), starting with this Skulls and Roses design.

Hola Chicas!

Este año no me he unido a ningúr Reto de Halloween, pero eso no significa que no vayamos a tener manicuras de Halloween por aquí, es más, desde hoy todas las manicuras van a ser de temática Halloween (excepto tal vez algun review que tenía preparado hace tiempo), comenzando por este diseño de Calaveras y Rosas.

Guest Post: Popping Nails

Hi Girls!
Charlie, from Popping Nails  is a lovely girl that I met during the Seven Deadly Sins Challenge, I loved all her work and I wanted you to know her because if you love nail art you will also love her blog. Just look what she has done for today!! So freakin' cute!! Just perfect for me, I love it...



Hola Chicas!
Charlie, del blog Popping Nails  es una chica lindisima que conocí en el Reto de los Siete Pecados Capitales, me enecantó todo su trabajo y quería que vosotros pudierais conocerla porque si os gusta el nail art os va a encantar su blog. Solo mirad lo que ha hecho para hoy!! Es increíblemente monoso!! Perfecto para mi, me encanta...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Hi everyone first let me introduce myself, I'm Charlie from the blog Popping Nails. I was part of the Seven Deadly Sins Challenge with Helena and when she asked me to do this guest post for her I jumped at the chance as I loved her work during the challenge. I wanted to do something special for these nails and whenever I need to do that, I go back to what I'm best at which I describe as character nails. I had had the idea of doing Disney nails for a while so I thought I'd take my opportunity now.

Going from my thumb across I have Mickey Mouse, Daffy Duck, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse and Pluto. I personally think Donald turned out the best but I'm thrilled with the overall look. To create Mickey and Minnie Mouse I used Barry M Pinky Caramel as my base, Barry M Black, Sinful Colors Snow Me White, Barry M Coral for Minnie's bow and that same coral mixed with Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream for the mouths. Donald and Daffy Duck are done with Snow Me White as the base, Barry M Yellow for the beaks, Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream and Cobalt Blue for the bow and hat and that same blue mixed with white for the eyes. Finally on Pluto I used Butter London Bumster for the base colour and with a bit of black mixed in for the facial lines. I then used the same black and white as before and finished with Strawberry Ice Cream for the tongue. I know that was a lot of polishes but I think they're worth it. 

I want to thank Helena for asking me to do this post as I had so much fun doing this design and I hope you all like it as well!

Reto Zodíaco: Libra

Hi Girls!
I am here again with another day of the Zodiac Challenge! This month the manicure is about Libra and I read on our Facebook group that the main colour of this sign is light green, so I decided to go for a simple design and this is what came out of my mind.



Hola Chicas!
Ya estoy aquí de nuevo con otro día del Reto del Zodíaco! La manicura de este mes va sobre Libra y leí en en nuestro grupo de Facebook que el color principal de este signo es el verde claro, así que decidí hacer un diseño sencillo y eso es lo que salió de mi mente.

For this post I decided  to do a lace manicure with a very special base. The nail polish is the 646 Starry Black  of Sugar Mat  of Kiko. This is with sugar or sand finish:

 Para hacer el tono más especial, y poder hacer decoraciones con nail art con más facilidad, apliqué un top coat mate, lo que dejo la base preciosa. Luego con acrílico blanco y un pincel fino hice los detalles de encajes:

To make more special the tone, and to make easily the nail art decorations, I applied a matte top coat. Then with white acrylic and a fine brush I made ​ lace details:

 ¿Os gustan los encajes? ¿Y la combinación? ¿Os lo haríais?

Do you like laces? And the colour? Would you wear it?

Besitos

Guest Post: In Jeeb We Trust

Hi Everyone!!
We have today another girl from that I met through the Seven Deadly Sins Challenge. I loved all her work and dedication and I thought you would like it too, so I asked her to make a guest post! I hope you enjoy it.
Bye

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey all! Hola a todos!

I'm jeebjeeb from In Jeeb We Trust. I'm so honoured that Helena asked me to do a guest post! I had so much fun taking part in her Seven Deadly Sins challenge a few months ago. Since then I've been drooling over her stunning manicures and eye makeup. (Can you believe her Pokemon eye looks? So awesome!) I was totally shocked when she contacted me. What?! Little old jeebjeeb?! That moment when you feel both yay and oh no! (This is my first guest post.) I decided to play it a little safe with one of my favourite techniques. Splatter :)

I love splatter. The chaos. The colour. The originality. Splatters are like snowflakes, no two are alike. I loved how this manicure turned out. The colours are so fantastic together. What do you think?

As my base (and splatter) I used Zoya - Purity and on my index Sally Hansen - Black Out. My splatter colours are Nubar - On the Radar & My New Obsession. I love the black accent finger. Makes me think of Japanese tea cups. I mean, splatters are the essence of wabi-sabi, are they not? :)

I would like to thank Helena for giving me this moment to shine. Muchas gracias! I hope you enjoyed my art! Have a great day and an awesome manicure!

jeebjeeb
