About May Nail Art Challenge

Hello ladies!

Sorry I haven't been posting anything, I honestly haven't had the time. I won't be doing the challenge anymore, because I have finals next week and I have to study like if there was no tomorrow! 

I'll be doing June's challenge starting on the second week of the month. 

I'll leave you with some pictures of the manis I've had the time to do this week.

Thanks for understanding!

May Nail Art Challenge Day 4!

Hello readers!
Today's challenge is about Star Wars. I'm not a big Star Wars fan so I had a really hard time on choosing what to do. I finally decided I would do R2D2, he is adorable and well I love him.
I painted R2D2's head as my accent nail using a white base, blue, black, and white acrylic paint. The rest of the nails are a simple gray base with purple glitter(I don't even know why, I just loved how it looked!).
Actually, I love how R2D2 turned out! This was the first time I painted a character onto my nails, I might keep doing it because it is challenging and fun.

May the 4th be with you!

Favorite Manis From April + May's challenge!

Hello ladies!
April has been I great month for me. Not only in my personal life but in my nail art too. And I really wanted to show all of you my favorites manis of this month! I've improved a lot in my nail polish application, clean up and nail art techniques.
Challenges such as the one I did last month make me do nail art and make learn new techniques. If it wasn't because of this challenge I would have never done a braided mani or galaxy nails. Thats why I love this challenges, because they make you experience with new techniques and you always try to do your best.
This month I'll be doing the challenge too. And I will finish it as I did with the April's one. There are a lot of interesting things in this challenge so I'm actually pretty excited.

Ladies, I hope that May will be great to all of you. I can already feel that May is going to be an AMAZING month not only for me but for all of you! Start with a positive attitude and wake up everyday with a big smile on your face and thank God because He gave you one more day.

April Nail Art Challenge Days 25 & 30!

Oh hey there!
This is the last challenge of the month *inserts sad face* but the good thing is that the challenge is "pastels"...and well I love pastels!
I did a simple tape mani combining the challenges from day 25(gold/silver) and day 30. It came out pretty decent for being my first time using nail tape.
I did a silver and gold accent nails topped with a baby blue color. It looks way better in real life but my camera wasn't able to capture the true colors.
I'm going to do May's challenge too... Just wait for it!

April Nail Art Challenge Day 28!

Hello ladies!
First of all, I'm really sorry for not being able to do day 25's challenge(gold/silver).
I was really tired and sick that day so I didn't feel like doing my nails. I hope you all understand.

Now onto day 28's challenge! I've been waiting for this day all month, I wanted to do the galaxy nails SO BAD! I'm really excited about how this mani turned out. Galaxy nails are so easy to do because you can do them however you want.
I used white acrylic paint, blue, purple,yellow, orange, pink, and black nail polish to create this design. Also glitter nail polish to give the "stars" effect.
I hope you liked this post!

April Nail Art Challenge Day 16!

Morning nail art lovers!
Today's challenge is "Outfit Of The Day"(ootd).
I don't really have ootd because I have to wear my school's uniform during the week(boring!!). So Idid a mani using one of the colors my uniform has...beige. You might think it is boring to do a mani with only beige, but guess what? It has neon, neon tribal print! YAY!
Tribal print is SO EASY to do, and you can play a lot with it by using different colors and shapes. You only need a thin brush, acrylic paint and lots of imagination to do it. Try it, I dare you! ;)
Enjoy this crazy mani!

April Nail Art Challenge Day 13!

Hello ladies!
For day 13 I was supposed to do an Ombre mani, so I did. It came out pretty good I must say. I made a blue(I love blue) ombre with blue ombre dots. It is a simple mani but the detail with the dots adds it a little something that makes it look lovely. I hope that all of you liked this mani!
Have a great day! :)

PS: I will be using a new watermark. If you are wondering the app I use is called "Curved".

DIY Nail Strengthener & Hand Exfoliator

Good night darlings! I'm really sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I've been really busy.
Well, today's DIY projects are really simple. Most of the ingredients are in your kitchen and by most I mean all of them. ;)

Lets get started!!
First the nail strengthener. My grandma taught me this, she said it worked amazing for her.

Materials:
You will need a potato, a grater and a pair of gloves.

Instructions:
1- Prepare your potato and grater.
2- Find a plate where you have enough space to place your hands. Start grating your potato, all of it.
3- Apply the potato under and on top of your nails, then put the gloves on. Let it stay for 10-15 minutes.
(Pictutorial will be at the bottom)

Second the hand exfoliator. I saw this on www.thebeautydepartment.com(so credit goes to them!)

Materials:
4 tbs. of Sugar(I used organic sugar), 2 tbs. of olive oil(or any type of oil you want), a lemon, 1/2 tbs. of honey and a pair of gloves.

Instructions:
1- Put your sugar in a small container.
2- Add the oil. Mix gently.
3- Add the lemon and honey.
4- Mix it all. Apply it to your hands, massage them gently and put the gloves on. Let it stay for 5 minutes or more.


I hope these DIY projects work for you ladies! Comment below if you have any opinions!
