Crafts...what?!

Hey all!

So technically I started this blog with the intention that it would be about nails AND my crafting adventures.  Unfortunately, the past few months I haven't had much access to crafting supplies and whatnot.  But I promise that as soon as summer rolls around, I'll be getting real crafty up in here! At least I'll try...

So recently I've been taking a ceramics class which I thought was close enough to a craft so I thought I'd share a sampling of some of my creations.  At the beginning of the class, I struggled...a lot.  Therefore, I'm only showing you the creations that I think at least resemble something close to okay.  Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by! And I promise there will be more craft updates soon!

Pink & Black "Lace" Nails

Hey everyone!

So this weekend I'm attending a formal event so I decided to do some fancy nails! For the pink base I used OPI Feelin' Hot-Hot-Hot and then I used a basic black to do the "lace." I used my konad stamper kit but unfortunately, I don't actually own a lace stamp so I improvised and used this curly flower vine stamp.

I hope you enjoyed this weeks post! See you next time!

How to Paint Your Nails

Hey all!

So I've been getting a few questions from people asking how to paint their nails without making a mess on their cuticles.  This is a diagram that I've seen floating around the internet on sites like Pinterest and other nail blogs.  I think it does a great job of showing how simple it can be to paint your nails and stick within "the lines."

Although this diagram is not an original work of mine, the original author, Lacquerized, can be found at this website.

Thanks and see you next time!

Scribbles

Hey Everyone!

This nail look is fun and easy but it still gives some great pizzazz to your nails.  I painted my nails with Island Girl Aloha Dream that I got in Hawaii a couple years ago.  Its so fun and bright and definitely fits my mood recently!   Then I took a Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in white and scribbled a few horizontal lines per nail and voilà!

Thanks for stopping by and see you next time!!

P.S. Sorry for the disastrous cuticles! Its been a stressful couple of weeks!
