Spring Tribal

Phew. After a super fun and busy week with friends, I finally had time to sit down and do my neglected nails! 

This is the first time that I have experimented with negative space, and there is a lot of it in in this design. It was easy in the sense that I only used Wet n Wild's clear coat and orange, green, and white acrylic paint. 

I laid down a coat of clear and when it fully dried, I free-handed random designs radiating off from the half moons of my nails. Clear coat to seal the paint down.

Pentatonix

I am so behind! I went to the Pentatonix concert on the 7th with my sister and my friend Bekka. It was incredible! They're amazing live and at times I forgot that they were acapella. My only disappointment was that the balcony was dead.. Here are the nails that I did for the concert!

I used two coats of wet n wild's Black Crème. I went in with watered down white paint to write PTX on my nails. I tried doing their logo on my thumb, but it was a flop. 

I used Sinful Colors' Love Nails to add a blue into white gradient on the lower part of each letter of the larger PTX. I used Love Nails and wet n wild's Buffy the Violet Slayer (haha, very cute, wet n wild) to do a purple into blue gradient on the pinky. 

I wish I could have done something more special for the concert, but I didn't have enough time. They deserve a super cool design though!

Spider shell

Today's design is based off of this tiny pumping spider that I saw on Facebook several months ago. I HATE spiders, but this little guy looked, dare I say, cute?! And the design on its "shell" made me think of nails, but when am I not thinking of my nails honestly!

I put down two coats of white polish before using two coats of Wet n Wild's Spitfire. It has a neon quality to it, so the white brought out the bright color and I didn't have to use as many coats of the orange. 

I used white paint to frame out the nail and did the vertical and horizontal lines. Top coat.
