S.H. Golden Crackle: What a Goddesses Nails Look Like!

Today I tried two nail polishes that I haven't tried before. They've just been sitting in the drawer, waiting patiently for me to get to them. The first one is Revlon's Powder Puff. It's a Matte Suede shade. It's a rather sheer white with the smallest twinge of blue. It turns matte pretty fast, but don't be fooled, it isn't dry yet! I didn't get great coverage with three coats, and it stayed tacky longer than most polish. It's still pretty though.

The second polish I used was one of the new Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoats. After trying OPI's Black Shatter, and knowing how wonderful it is, I was sure that Sally Hansen wouldn't be as good. SURPRISE! I was WRONG! It goes on great, and the colors (though somewhat sheer) are really cool!! It crackles beautifully too!

I put the Antiqued Gold Crackle over the Matte Suede Powder Puff. If a goddess wore nail polish, this is what her nails would look like! The Powder Puff looks translucent under the gold. Just make sure not to put the Gold on too thick. You won't get the same Crackle effect or see as much of the white.

In my opinion, elegant, eye catching, and breathtaking is what a good manicure should be. And with the Antiqued Gold, I definitaly got that effect!

Ferrari

I got bored yesterday and decided to do one of my fave nail art designs, The Ferrari logo. I only paint the right thumb (I'm left-handed) with the logo, and I paint the rest red with a checkered flag french. I mostly use Sinful Colors, the cheap brand from Walgreens, for nail art like this. It's inexpensive and the color selection is great!

Hello World!

Hello anyone who may be reading this.  Since this is my first blog I think maybe I should tell you guys a little about myself and why I decided to become a nail artist. 

 I graduated from high school 2 days ago and I'm starting beauty school in the fall.  I thought that a blog would keep me busy over the summer and what better to blog about that my favorite topic, Nail Art. 

  I began doing nail art last summer when my grandmother became bedridden during her battle with stomach cancer.  A few months previous I had started filing her nails and painting them.  As the summer dragged on, I got bored with the same old plain French Manicure that she had me do every two weeks.  I began making little flowers on her ring finger.  One of my grandmothers friends, who visited her nearly every day, suggested that I try the Rolling Stones logo on my nails.  Viola!  The Nail Artista Extrodinaire was born!
