Cinco de Mayo Nails 2012

This year I decided to take the plunge and create Cinco de Mayo nails. I have always loved the holiday. I think it's because of all the partying and eating and not to mention drinking. I love me a nice cold frozen margarita every once and a while. Well while brainstorming on what colors to choose and what to design on my nails. I was getting excited as well because Cinco de Mayo is not only a fun day. It is my anniversary as well. That is when I got married 11 years ago. So it has some significance to me. It is not only a day for fiestas and good times. It is also a day to reflect on one of the most happiest days of my life. So without further ado. Here are my nails. I hope you like them as much as I do. I tried. This is my first year doing my nails with something other than bright fun colors without any designs.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

If you want to know in depth what colors I used or how I created this design or have requests or ideas for other nail art creations. Just leave me a comment below. Thanks. 

St. Patrick's Day Nail Art Tutorial

 I will show you step by step how to achieve this cute nail design for St. Patrick's Day. The following picture will show all the items used to create this.

Sally Hansen Insta-Grip Fast Dry Base Coat, Sally Hansen Xtreme in 110 Green with Envy, Sinful Colors in Call you Later, Kiss Nail Art Striper in Gold Glitter, Craft smart Acrylic paint in the colors Black and White and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top coat.

Apply two coats of the Xreme wear in 110 Green with Envy over a base coat.

Then apply one coat of Sinful Colors in Call you Later.

Then using the black acrylic paint make a stripe over the nail.

Then using the white acrylic paint make a square over the black stripe let dry.

After that dries then using the Kiss striper in Gold glitter paint around the white with several coats till it covers all the white parts.  Then using a q-tip clean any areas of polish that may have gotten on the edges. Then make sure it's totally dry before the last step which is applying the top coat.

Now you are done. What cute nails to wear to a party or just out. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
