Cute Nail Design

Thought I would share a cute and simple nail design I created. It took a matter of 10 minutes and 6 items.

Items:
  1. Base Coat
  2. Nail Color (your choice)
  3. Orange wood stick cuticle pusher / Dotting tool
  4. Fimo nail art...(I chose butterflies)
  5. Nail art rhinestones...Multi colored
  6. Top Coat
Step 1
Apply base coat on clean nails.

Step 2
Apply the desired color to the tip of your nails. You can use scotch tape to guide you. This will give you a nice clean straight line. I usually do 2 coats. Let nails dry for about 5 to 10 minutes and move on to step 3.

Step 3
Place a few drops of clear base or top coat on a safe surface. This will be your adhesive for your nail art. With your orange stick or dotting tool dab a bit of your choice of adhesive to the tip and pick up your choice of Fimo nail design. With the design on the tip of your applicator dab it in some more adhesive and quickly apply it to your nail. Take your orange stick and gently press down on your nail art and adjust it so that it lay flat on your nail bed. Repeat this step on all or just desired nail(s).

Step 4
Using the same procedure in step 3 select your desired choice of rhinestone. I chose to apply it right above the butterfly. You can get more creative by adding more or mixing colors.

Step 5
Apply plenty of top coat to your nails especially around the areas where you have applied your nail art. This will secure it in place.

Step 6

Flaunt your cute nails!

Haul 8/27/11

Despite the weather conditions (Hurricane Irene) I couldn't resist the urge in making a trip to the mall. I made an early trip to my local MAC counter to purchase a few items from the new MAC Me Over Collection. There was one item that I was on the hunt for but of course it was sold out by Friday. Typically I would have driven to another mall however due to the weather conditions I didn't want to risk it. Luckily the MAC associate was kind enough to order it and have it shipped to me. The draw back is that as much as I was excited to have found the MAC #226 Brush I now have to wait for it to ship*. Bummer...But while I was there I still managed to buy a few things from the permanent line and new collection. I also made a trip to Sephora and Walgreens.

MAC Haul

  • Studio Fix Fluid - NC37
  • Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation - C4
  • Studio Finish Concealer - NW25
  • Prep + Prime Highlighter Enlumineur - Bright Forecast
  • Powder Blush - Stunner
