The Simpsons Heads Nails

D’oh GGG decorators,

Listening to: The Simpsons Theme Song

So, I have been obsessed with The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It’s mobile game app similar to Sims. I’ll be posting about it very soon so I’ll talk about the details then. But to show you my new app craze, I wanted to design one of the most famous family on television: the Simpsons.

1. As a base coat, use Sally Hansen’s Xtreme Wear: Hot Magenta to simulate The Simpsons painted house walls. For the fore finger, I only painted less than half of the nail as I intended to paint Marge’s large blue hair.

2. With a fine nail art brush, outline the shape of each of the Simpsons characters head onto each nail

 

3. Paint each outline with Sally Hansen’s Xtreme Wear: Mellow Yellow except for Marge’s hair. Simply use Sally Hansen’s Xtreme Wear: Blue Me Away

4. Outline each of the heads with a bended nail art detail brush and black nail polish. Don’t forget to add Maggie’s bow

5. To seal polish, paint two layers of clear base coat

I hope you enjoyed my Simpsons head nails. Be expected a few more Simpsons designs! I’m sure hooked on The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Cupcake Nails

Hallu GGG readers,

Listening to: Ruled By Secrecy - Muse

So, in the month of February and early March I had five different birthdays to attend so to match the theme I decided to paint cupcakes on my nails.

1. Paint about half of the nail with the base colour of the cupcake

2. Once base colour is dry, apply glitter polish

3. With a medium-sized dotting tool and white nail polish dot the top of the base colour horizontally

4. To better paint the top of cupcake, lightly dot white dots to form an outline of the icing

5. Fill in the dots with white nail polish

6. With a mini-sized dotting tool and multiple polishes paint dots all over the white

7. With a medium-sized dotting tool dot a red dot on the top of the cupcake for the cherry

8. With a mini-sized dotting tool dot a white spot to the side of the cherry

For the middle and ring finger I added caviar pearls:

1. Apply Ciate Pom Pom 084 as the base coat

2. While still wet pour caviar pearls Ciate Candyshop above nail

3. Gently press onto pearls to secure pearls

Once the pearls started to come off I replaced them with purple based cupcakes!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and happy belated birthday to my two nieces Ana and Cayla, my sister Liza, my nephew Matthew, and to the love of my life!

Fabric Nails #2

Hallu GGG fans,

Listening to: Blackout - Muse

Here’s a nail design I had for Valentine’s day. I know I’m late but hey, they still look cute <3

1. Apply clear top coat on naked nails

2. As a base coat, I used Sally Hansen’s Petal Pusher. If you use this colour I would recommend three layers

Applying fabric

3. Cut a strip of fabric long enough to match the length of the nail

4. Along bottom of the nail, brush on nail glue or clear top coat

5. Press on fabric along the glue/top coat and cut off any excess fabric

Optional: what I find irritating with fabric on nails is the fact that the fabric can easily be removed when wet so, you can apply a layer of clear top coat over the nail and fabric.

Heart design

6. On the ring finger, dot four larger dots close to the middle of the finger

7.  Apply smaller dots to outline the heart

8. Connect the dots together to create the design

9. Middle finger, apply clear top coat onto bottom of pearl and press onto nail

10. Apply two layers of clear top coat on fabric and pearl

Hope you likey

DIY: Eyeshadow Nail Polish

Allu GGG followers,

Listening to: Die Young – Ke$ha

I saw this interesting way of making your own nail polish colour with just a nail art brush, eyeshadow, and clear top coat. I found this DIY idea on Instagram. I don’t remember the username of where I found this but kudos to the person who thought of this!

Materials: clear top coat, eyeshadow, medium nail art brush

I used pink and blue as I dropped my eyeshadow case and the eyeshadow had already shattered lol.

1. Choose your eyeshadow colour and scrap enough for mixing

2. Crush the eyeshadow with a Q-tip into a fine grainy material

3. Add enough clear top coat to eyeshadow for mixing

4. Mix eyeshadow and clear top coat until colour is completely mixed and until eyeshadow is mixed into a liquid (I recommend mixing with your nail art brush as a Q-tip gathers too much of the eyeshadow liquid and wastes a lot of the nail polish)

5. Apply a coat onto each nail (You may find that the liquid dries out quickly dependent on the fast dry of your clear top coat so be sure to work quickly)

6. Apply a clear top coat onto dried eyeshadow liquid (As you can see the middle finger does not have a layer of top coat as it has a matte finish whereas the ring finger is left with a top coat which leaves a gloss finish)

Here was the final finish! I didn’t do a clean finish as I was rushed for time but it works well. As long as you have a top coat, the eyeshadow liquid does not easily wash off!

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. - Madonna

Magnetic Nails – Sally Hansen Nail Polish

Hi GGG nail decorators,

Listening to: All My Heart – Sleeping With Sirens

Here’s a real simple nail design that doesn’t require much skill. If you’re in a bind use magnetic nail polish!

I’ll be showing you the magnetic design for Sally Hansen’s Magnetic nail polish in Ionic Indigo and Graphite Gravity.

For Sally Hansen’s Magnetic nail polish and most magnetic polish bottles the magnet is found on the top of the bottle cap.

Follow instructions provided with polish:

1. Apply a layer of clear base coat and let dry

2. Paint a thin layer of magnetic polish and allow dry

3. Apply a thicker layer of magnetic nail polish

4. While the second layer is still wet immediately hold the magnet on the cap over each nail. Rest the guide just below the cuticle without touching the nail. Hold for at least 10 seconds.

5. Apply with clear top coat

Here is the completed polish for Sally Hansen’s Ionic Indigo

And this is Sally Hansen’s Graphite Gravity

Hope you enjoyed it! Until next time

Christmas Nails #2 and #3

Hello GGG fans,

Listening to: You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground – Mayday Parade

I know this a late post about Christmas Nails but here it is! These are two other nail designs I created for the holiday.

 These were the tools that I used to create my designs:

1. Long Striper
2. French Brush
3. Bent Detail Brush
4. Small sized Dotting Tool

Christmas Nails #2

Before designing, paint your clean nails with a clear base coat (you could use a clear top coat) to help protect your nails

For the index finger and pinky, I painted a candy cane design.

1. Paint the base with white nail polish
2. With red nail polish, the long striper brush, and french brush line your nails with multiple diagonal lines. Starting from the top right of your nail to the bottom left.

Your end result would look similar to this. Add clear top coat.

For the thumb, middle finger, and ring finger I did a simple french manicure with a holly design.

1. With the French mani brush and white nail polish, paint a thick layer of white nail polish across the bottom of your nail. You can choose to paint your mani more than your nail exceeds your finger.
2. Paint the top coat with a white glitter nail polish for a Christmas like design.
3. Leave your middle finger with this design

For the thumb and ring finger:

1. Using red nail polish and a small sized dotting tool, dot three circles close together to create the berries of the holly
2. With the bent detail brush and green nail polish, design three leafs between each red circle

Be sure to apply a clear layer of top coat!

Christmas Nails #3

For this design, I didn’t take pictures for tutorials because I didn’t have the time.

1. Paint each nail with a clear base coat
2. Paint each nail with a thick layer or two layers of red nail polish
3. Index, Middle, Pinky:  paint a top layer of gold glitter
4. Ring finger: design a simple snowflake: with a medium sized dotting tool and white nail polish create a dot on one half of your nail. Using a bent detail brush, paint extended lines from the dot
5. Thumb: use a french brush and paint a thick layer or two layers of white nail polish across the bottom of the nail and a vertical line in the middle of the nail.
6. Across the middle of the nail, paint a thick black line to create Santa’s belt.
7. With the bent detail brush and gold nail polish, paint a rectangle in the middle of the belt and paint a slight extension from the left of the rectangle toward the middle

Here was the end result. Add clear top coat.

I hope you enjoyed the holidays with your loved ones! Until next time!
