Tinxiedoodles' Nail Art

I'm Tinxiedoodles (Kristine), 30. A mom, a wife, an office drone,and a musician. I do a lot of artsy stuff, like photography, drawing, songwriting, singing, and I also love to do freehand nail art in my free time.

Most of the time, this tumblr will be about my nailart, but I will post some of my other pursuits from time to time, as well as nail art from artists that I admire a lot.

All designs posted by me are my own unless stated otherwise. Removing or editing the watermark on my photos is not allowed. Thanks for visiting my blog!

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

My simple purple nails. Tried to copy my daughter’s purple peel off nail polish and I think I nailed it. LOL

Here they are. Finally done with the Dragon Ball Z nails after 24 hours of planning and execution. I hope you can tell that those are Goku and Gohan… Although I admit, it is kind of hard to tell that it is them without their crazy hair. That’s why I painted a dragon ball, Gohan’s dragon ball on my thumb. I was trying to do a gradient to mimic the shininess of a dragon ball, and I did the gradient without a sponge. I just layered a sheer yellow polish over my nail that was painted orange diagonally at the tip and did the same with some sheer white polish at the top part. I also used a gold glitter polish as topcoat for this particular nail to give it a more dragon ball type look. For my pinkie and index finger, I copied their uniform. I drew black lines over the blue tips to make them look like [fabric] their uniforms. Hope you like them. They took a lot of man-hours and stress [coz I re-did the thumb and Goku’s hair!] before I finally finished them. ♥

Pink, Gray and White Stripes This is #2 on my Nail Art Bucketlist and an enhancement of the earlier posted “feeling gray” nails. Thank you to my wonderful new tumblr friends, Ms. Melissa of LionessLaquer and Ms. Hanna of Polishisagirlsbestfriend for teaching me their techniques on how  to do a proper striped mani with the use of tape. Thank you thank you thank you! Finally succeeded and this was a huge hit in the office. Stripes are also easy to do, and they make your nails look longer than they actually do! I’m not sure what I was thinking earlier, but I did opposing patterns for my thumb and my pinkie fingers. LOL Thank you again and I hope you like this.

I have been wanting to buy glitter of these colors for the longest time, and wouldn’t you know it, I found them at the oldest grocery in my area, and they were very cheap!

WINNIE THE POOH NAILS Yesterday, my daughter asked me if I could do Winnie the Pooh and gang on my nails. This is the most complicated and time consuming nail art design I’ve done so far.  Total Polishes used: 13 - Bobbie, The Face Shop, Caronia, Sassy and 24K
