Minions On My Nails. BANANAAAA!

Hello, sweeties!

I've been M.I.A. lately because of school; I'm trying to control and discipline myself especially when it comes to Facebook-ing and basically anything in the cyberworld. You know how it is, guys, right? The web is a black hole that sucks you deep in -- without you even noticing. So yeah, I super-minimize my internet use on weekdays and just catch-up on weekends.

Anyways, that's the reason why this post is already two weeks late. I made & wore this nail design two weeks ago when I was kind of in a need to relieve some stress and thinkings. I was originally planning to try to make a creative and uncommon French Manicure, but I decided to do this instead. 

Come and sing with me now. 5-6-7-8!

BA-BA-BA BA-BANANA,  BA-BA-BA BA-BANANA

BANANAAAAAAAAAA! POTATO-NAAAAAAAA!

They really served their purpose -- relieve me of stress. Everytime I look at my nails, there would be this certain explosion of fun and happiness, so it really helped. Plus, I got a lot of compliments from my friends and even from strangers! Guards, fastfood cashier, registration assistants, and basically just anyone! I bet my nails loved all the attention they got. :))

Moving on, I know this is just tooooo cute so I would like to share with you a quick tutorial on how to do it. Sorry if I couldn't manage to do video tutorials yet, but I'd try to make time for it, okay? ;)

STEP 1:

Clean your nails & shape them any way you want. I shaped my nails squoval since I thought it would be best for the minions' body. Afterwards, apply a base coat/nail hardener (NOTE: this is important to avoid having your nails stained, and of course so you could protect them). 

STEP 2:

Apply a bright lemon yellow polish. I, however, didn't have such color of nail polish so I just used an acrylic paint of the same hue.

STEP 3:

Paint the tips with blue polish or acrylic paint, and then stripe some black paint across (to serve as the goggles' strap).

STEP 4:

Draw the details! :D

Sorry if I wasn't able to take photos of the nitty-gritty details -- I FORGOT! I was so focused on drawing 'em, that's why. I was just using a standard watercolor brush because I don't have nail art brushes yet, so it's really hard especially when drawing small details such as the teeth and stuff.

STEP 5:

FLAUNT YOUR NAILS AND MAKE EVERYONE SING BANANAAA! :)

Here are more photos (because I just couldn't get enough of 'em):

Like it? :)
Let me know when you get to try your own Minions Nails, okay?

Nails: Watermelon!

Just recently, I received my acrylic paint set from Born Pretty Store (I will tell you more about the product in a separate post). The first thing that came to my mind when I opened the box was to finally paint watermelons on my nails! 

And so I did. 

This nail design was inspired by a video I watched on YouTube a couple of months ago (the uploader of which I could not recall). I just did some modifications to suit my own preferences. Anyways, here are some more photos:

NOTW: Cupcake Nails

Hello sweeties! Forgive me for being MIA for quite some time; we had internet problems and so my blogging goes away with that. :(

Anyways, this nail post should have been just a week after my Paris-inspired nails, but due to my disconnection from the internet, I wasn't able to post it immediately. I've been dying to make this cupcake nails for quite some time already, and I was really happy when I finally did. :D

So I started off with a Base Coat and Nail Hardener, of course, and then I made pink and light pink stripes on half my nails. Just like this:

When I finished this step, I kinda wanted to forget about the Cupcake Nails and just be good with pink stripes. They're so French-ish!!! :"> I loved how the pink and light pink stripes went together. But since I just painted half my nails, I have to carry on with my original plan. So the next step is to make the frosting. I just applied white acrylic paint over the pink stripes:

And of course, this won't be complete without the "Cherry on Top" so I just dotted the "cupcakes" with my Caronia Brick Red Nail Polish.

And tadaaaaah! 

My Cupcake Nails! :D

I like to call it "My Sweet Little Bits" Nails because it somehow resembles my blog logo. 

So, what do you think? :)
