Title: Nail Art anyone?
Post by: nou on June 16, 2012, 12:41:52 AM
I like to paint my nails quite often.  I got bored of just painting it one solid color so I decided to add a little flare to them.  Here are some of mine:

Flower made with a dotting tool.

St. Patty's Day nails... I didn't like it because I thought it looked like fungus. LOL.

Black and Silver French... I thought it looked weird.

Light gold with black star glitter.

Just thought I'd add a different beauty topic to this section.  Please post up your polished nails up too! =)

OK here are some looks I've done.  I have always worn alternate colors on my nails and for the most part it's rare to see me wear one color.  I like my nails fun...but i'm not that creative and usually i get "stuck" doing them the same. 

there's no art done but thought i'd share.  i went n got my nails done for the holidays (we took family pics w the color theme being red and grey--I opted for red and black--yes, I like black a lot).  They didn't do that good of a job so I came home and re-painted my nails.

I'm not artistic enough to do my own nails, and work's Dress Code does not allow designs on nails, so mine stay unpainted or if I do paint it, they'll be in a plain ole nude or clear color, but I really like the star ones from both of you.

I like doing my nails as it's one of the only times when i have "me" time.
But thanks.

Since there isn't a nail color thread, I'll just post in here.  I'm not much of a nail art person, but I do enjoy seeing/looking at them.  Mine are usually just one solid color.  I was feeling blue.....   ;D

This color had a peculiar name and it wasn't even associated to the color.  To me it looks purplish-maroon.......perfect for fall.  8)

I like solid color too.  I have all brand of nail polish.  Lately, I stocked up on NYC which has good colors for $1 at Target. 

I don't keep my nail long because I can't type, cook, etc.  I have to keep them short and trim.  I never had my nails done at the salon/shop. 

Kind of hard to take a picture with the ipad.

Going to cleaned out these nail polish sometime this week and either throw away or give to my little girls.  I don't let my girls messed with my make-up and stuffs.

Do any of you ladies have a specific brand you like?  I like OPI and China Glazed but will have to stock up on them whenever I get a chance to shop in LA at Fashion District, Santee Alley, etc.

Thanks for sharing, SB!   ;)   I like the blue on your nails.  I'm in search of another blue nail polish......mo re like navy blue.  The one I have now is a little brighter and it's textured.  You have a lot of nail polishes there.  I haven't tried NYC yet.  How is it?

NYC is good but just not much colors to choose from no matter which store you get it.  I really like the pink color there.  It's probably like my 3rd one.  I just haven't found a nice green one but I like the new one from Revlon that you might see in magazine. 

The blue I did 2 coat.  Maybe this weekend I'll do pink.  I will take a photo and group it by color.

Would you say it lasts long?  The ones I've used are Revlon, Sally Hansen, and OPI.  They normally last a week until they start chipping.  :-\    Please do share when/if you can.   ;)

I have all sorts of brands...BUT I don't have any OPI or essie ones.  I have a whole bin of nail polishes and art stuff.  When I make time--I do them every week.  But I've been lazy and have not had as much as I had before.  Here are some I've done.  (I tend to do the same designs over and over...sorry.)  Personally, i find it very therapeutic when I am doing my nails.  I'm not that creative but it helps me distress and unwind.

I'll shared more next time since I'm stuck taking care of my husband from a knee injury last Friday.  Got to take him like a baby to the doctor, specialist, etc. all the while running around with the kids too since he can't drive, walk, etc.  He was just ordered by Admin. to stay home for a week because he exceed his hours for vacation and head back to work this week.  With the knee injury the doctor order him 2 weeks.  I hope nothing is serious and no surgery after tomorrow appt.

I know what you mean.  Like SB, I'm more of a one color nail polish person BUT some of the styles you've presented seems simple and won't take too much time, so I'll probably try them out.  Thanks again for the inspirations.  ;)

I like my nails fun, cute, and simple if possible.  I always alternate colors or they are usually multicolored.  Most of my designs you only need a dotting tool and if u don't have one you can use a toothpick or bobbypin.  my nail bed is rather small and most of the time my nails are short so I don't have much space for elaborate designs.  :(

I love nail art but I am so impatient. I bought a lot of nail polishes and nail art supplies, barely touch it.

To do nail art you must have long finger nails. Mine chip here and there then I just cut it all short.  :(
Don't limit urself.  I used to think the same thing....and being that I can't really grow out my nails....(no matter how much biotin I take) you can still do nail art...u may not be able to put so much on one single nail, that's all.

I totally agree.  You don't necessarily need long nails to create beautiful, artistic, textural, or colorful designs.   ;)

ST, I've seen some women with short nails and they still paint them.  BUT if you're a nail biter, it may not be wise to have your nails painted since you may end up eating it.  Did you know that nail biting doesn't just affect your nails but your health, teeth, and maybe gums as well?

That's good to hear, ST.  My nephew used to suck his thumbs when he was little.   His thumbs looked terrible with the skin pealing and it always looked raw.  My sister had to put something on his thumbs and eventually he grew out of it.

I usually don't wear black nail polish, but this one is an exception. Nice black, wet liquid finish. Black for edgy and pink for girly. I think I'm going to add a coat of gold glitter over the pink or black animal prints on the pink. Haven't decided yet.

Black is Cover Girl in black laser and pink is Essie in bombshell. Niece wanted in on the picture too. <3 Niece's red is Wet n Wild in I Red a Good Book.

Lisa, your nail art looks awesome!

You ladies ever finish a bottle of nail polish before? Any recommendation on which nail polishes tend to stay on (without chipping) the longest?

Thanks!

My polishes always chip especially if I use a base coat.  Otherwise, I'm not too big on name brand polishes...I don't own any essie or opi ones...just sinful colors and a few china glaze and zoya ones.

Thanks, MSV.  I've seen a variety of shades of brown, but I think I prefer the nudes or light brown ones better.

I've never finished a whole bottle before and I don't know of any nail polish brands that will stay on long.  Mine usually last a week, if that.

I would shared photo but then I'm having a hard time loading using iPad and then my computer I haven't got around to figuring windows 8.  Nowadays I shared and just link straight to FB.

I see.  I have an account there but rarely go on, except to catch up on friends/family events/updates.  I may go check out Walmart this weekend so we'll see if I find any colors that I may like.

Sinful Colors Shimmer Matte - Angelik

I like some of the matte colors in this brand, different look and texture to the normal glossy/sheen polishes.

Cute! I use gel  nail  polish  for my nails.

I've never tried that.  How is it and what's the difference?

They make your nails thicker and last longer and more shinny.  They cost more but it's worth it.

Is this similar to gel manicures?  I have heard they last longer but I've also read that they can be harmful to your nails and even health.

That's a lot of nail polishes, nice collection.  I probably only have 1/3 of that.  Thanks for sharing.   O0

Not sure what this color is called since I disposed of the box it came in, but I call it a mix between red and magenta.   ;D
