Thank you Kymmii-Kins. I didn't take pix of las weeks nails, I wasn't too fond of them. I took pics of my nails for this week so here they are:
One
Two
Three

The bottom is a light pearly blue, the second section is a darker shimmer blue, and the top is black. I outlined each section with a silver glitter stripe. I got the design from a Youtube video. I changed the glitter placement and I didn't use the exact same blues.

Thank you, Kymmii Kins! :D

I'm getting a little better trying to steady my hands and keep them from shaking, but I haven't perfected that little talent yet. So, they WILL NOT be perfect!
These are some designs I've attempted to do in the past few weeks.

My (sloppy) attempt at "Paint Splatter" nail art.

I made a big dot of each color and used a clean tooth pick and flicked them out a bit. The blobs and dots were more defined when I began but when I added the clear top coat the colors ran/flattened a bit.

I LOVE my China Glaze black/ red glitter polish! It's my favorite. The only problem is that the black looks a little transparent/grey on my nails. I used a black base coat to get it dark but then you can't really see the red glitter unless the light is good and you're actually looking at my nails to see the glitter. I know, right? It's very vamp like which makes me love it even more. I'm gonna try to find more designs I can do with that polish. Here's another picture of it

Yay! I'm glad someone like them. When am I gonna see some of your nail art, Kym?

Sorry about the double post, but it's a new week so new manicure. =)

I ATTEMPTED to do a water marbling. I got lazy with it so it could have been better. I'll do it the correct way next week.

Here's a pic.

I used Sally Hansen's X-treme Wear white, black, and silver and Wet 'N wild's burgundy frost.

I took the picture was soon as I was finished so I hadn't cleaned up around the edges yet. Most of it comes off with enough hand washing.

Ooh I'll have to try the paint splatter one day :)! That sucks that you can't really see the red glitter unless you're really focusing on the nails lol! They look very nice though! You will see my nail art whenever I have time to decorate them :lol:! Well actually I started my nursing clinicals last week and we aren't allowed to have our nails painted :'(! Not even a clear coat :(! My fingernails look so ugly sincr they are short and clear lol! As soon as clinicals are over with I plan on painting my nails ;)!
Omg I can't believe you complain about your nail art and call it messy :O! I can barely manage drawing different colored lines and you can do all sorts of things :lol:!

Oh, that sucks! Not even a clear coat? Boooooooooooooooooo. But, I guess sanitations trumps beauty, lol.

The water marbling is fun to do, but since I'm doing it to my own nails it gets difficult trying to tape off all of my fingers and not smudge them.

Here's 2 more shots.

Yeah it really sucks because our nails have to be filed short and without any kind of nail polish :(! I feel like I have man hands all the time I look at them lol! I guess it's better for the patients to know we have clean hands though so I'll have to deal with it!
I don't think I would have enough patience to do that! I get frustrated when I mess up my nails lol! That seems like it takes time to do! They look great though :)!
