Youtube Tutorial Tuesday: Strawberries

Hey everyone

I know where in the world have I been?! I was going to update via the app last night, but I'm such a weirdo when it comes to everything looking the same that I just couldn't do it. Plus my nails worked better with a Tuesday theme.

Yesterday was the 20th and the #nailartmay challenge on Instagram for the day was Strawberries. I went on Youtube and found this tutorial.

And I totally didn't stick with just this plan. I wanted to challenge myself. I added to the design and brought back and oldie but a goodie. 

Chocolate covered strawberries! And because the video was Strawberries and Cream themed I did pink strawberries with cream drips. I'll admit I like the red strawberries so much more, but I still think the overall nail design is adorable. What do you guys think?

Polishes Used:

1. Revlon's Firefox
2. Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen's Green
3. Nail Art Long Brush's Cocoa
4. Kiss Long Brush's Yellow
5. Wet N Wild's Tickled Pink
6. Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen's Chartreuse
7. OPI's My Boyfriend Scales Walls

And just because I'm awesome, here's the first time I attempted this design.

Did I mention you guys aren't allowed to judge my old nails? :D I'm thinking of adding in a Throwback Thursday where I redo old designs, what do you think?

Youtube Tutorial Tuesday: Stitch & Hibiscus

Hey everyone

This week's YTT is special. I'm actually going to be showing you 2 different videos that I followed for my most recent mani. Both videos are from TotallyCoolNails. On Instagam I'm doing a challenge where certain days through the month we have a specific design. This one was for flowers. I actually found this Stitch video first.

But I wasn't a fan of the flowers, I think they are actually leaves. But I wanted to do these nails so I had to find a different flower video. So I found this one.

I thought it was perfect because it matches the color scheme that was I was using. Here is the final product!

They turned out so great! I love them. And they were super popular on Instagram which completely made my day. I was so happy with how they turned out. 

Colors Used:

1. Zoya's Sooki
2. OPI's My Boyfriend Scales Walls
3. Kiss Long Brush's Soft Blue
4. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's Blue Away
5. Pure Ice's Celestial
6. Art Deco Long Brush's White
7. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear's Black Out

I hope you guys enjoyed my nails and YTT this week!

Youtube Tutorial Tuesday: The Lorax

Hey everyone

I have a real treat for you today. This mani is actually a live update. There's 40 minutes left of Tuesday, I just did this mani and am currently still wearing it. I also really don't like the way these turned out. Typically I'm pleased with everything. Not so much this time around. And it's of no fault of the artist. I suck today. :P Today's video comes from TotallyCoolNails.

The video is wonderful. I love the way her nails turned out. I think my biggest problem is she is using paint and I'm using polish. And my striper is getting old, I need a new one. 

So much smearing. I'm really disappointed by these. And I though the trunk of the tree looked so great. It's the top of the trees. Look at my middle finger! That's like some Chucky Finster hair. 

Polished Used:

1. NYC's Tudor City Teal
2. NYC's Midtown Mimosa
3. Zoya's Jancyn
4. Kiss' Pink
5. Kiss' Lilac
6. Art Deco Long Brush's Black
7. Orly's Snowcone
8. OPI's My Boyfriend Scales Wales
9. Orly's Prince Charming

I'm also going to include some full swatches of Jancyn. 

These are some old swatches. Look at that old watermark. I also got this color on sale. I thought it was Arizona when I first grabbed it. Then I saw it wasn't, but was still on sale. Close enough for me.

I will say it can stain a bit, so always make sure you were a basecoat.

What do you guys think? All right comparison or epic fail?
