¡¡¡VIVA MEXICO!!!-Day 28 INSPIRED BY A FLAG

What? What? Day 28? Haha, I'll explain: tomorrow is Mexico's independence day, but the celebrations begin tonight at midnight so I had to be prepared with my nails! And I remembered that further along on the challenge we have this topic so I will get a little bit ahead on this one.

 

This is Mexico's flag:

 

So I took the colors and came up with this:

The colors I used were:

-White On- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear

-White Cap- China Glaze

-Cherry Red- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear

-Bright Green- L.A. Colors Art Deco

I first painted my nails white and then put a coat of White Cap which is a beautiful gold shimmer. Then I painted my tips diagonally with Cherry Red and finally with bright Green. At the end I put golden striping tape I got at Sally Beauty Supply. I came up with this design because I didn't want to do the flag so literal.





 

Then I got a little crazy and with an Ultra Fine Tipped Sharpie wrote ¡¡¡Viva Mexico!!! on my ring fingernail!

 

Have a great weekend!!^^

31 DAY CHALLENGE Day 4: GREEN NAILS / UÑAS VERDES!!!

Yay!! green nails!! I have 2 looks for you this time :D
I couldn't wait to wear this nail polish I bought last weekend! It is Cactus by L.A. Colors Color Craze. It is a dark dry green with a lot of gold shimmer and a navy blue base. I was kind of tired of the cream polishes since my greatest love are shimmery polishes :P Though I used one cream polish for the accent nail, I turned it into shimmer by using White Cap by China glaze.^^

So I didn't do anything artsy this time...don't you feel sometimes like a polish is so pretty on its own that you just want to let it shine alone?
Let me show you the pix:

My friend Linda did something last week that is totally worth showing on this green nails challenge!! I had seen this before, but I loved the way she made it like a french manicure, and she did this by hand! she's sooo talented!! I can't stop looking at that bitten thumb... it's so cute!

AHORA EN ESPAÑOL!

El fin de semana pasado fui a Todo Moda y encontré unos barnices herrrrmosisimos!!! y pues como no estan caros me compré varios jijiji....Todo Moda se esta conviertiendo en mi lugar preferido para comprar esmaltes. Sé que no son de súper marca pero están bien y hay unos coloooreeeess!!! bueno, que te digo de seguro que tu tambien has comprado uno que otro ahi ;)

Entre esos estaba este hermoso verde: Cactus de L.A. Colors Color Craze. Este esmalte no se parece a ninguno que haya visto antes. Es un verde oscuro con base azul marino (se lo que piensas: azul con verde? what?) pues así! jaja y super saturado de brillitos dorados, esta padrísimo.
La formula es bastante delgada pero cubre bien, con dos capas es suficiente. Y seca rapidísimo.
En las "accent nails" use Green with Envy de Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear y como es un esmalte cremoso lo volví iridiscente con White Cap de China Glaze. Además le agregué unas hojitas doradas que tenía desde hace años!

Muy sencillo? sí. Esta vez no quise hacerle nada porque el simple esmalte es taaaan hermoso!! aaaahhh!!!

Y mi amiga del alma hizo un manicure francés con manzanitas divino!! no crees? Me mata el pulgar mordido!
