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

 

DAY 7 - BLACK AND WHITE NAILS Well, as stated in my previous post, I have used the ironworks inspired black and white swirlies for my nails, with my thumb and ring finger as accent nails! It was hard writing “love you”, especially because the polish was still a bit wet when I was writing, so the nail art pen really didn’t glide. Also, sorry if I messed up my middle finger. The black polish was in the process of drying when it kind of turned sideways and some of the black polish got dinged.  I hope you don’t mind that I used my fake nails again. I’m really trying hard to keep up with the challenge so I do a different mani on each hand, and I do my fake nails so I could do 3 or 2 manis in one night.  There ya go, have to go to sleep now. It’s midnight and I’m getting really sleepy-dizzy.

DAY 4 - GREEN NAILS It’s late in the evening. I have set out to paint my fake nails with an idea in mind, an idea that my nails will look like this Jennifer Lopez green outfit, using an emerald metallic nail polish from a local brand, La Belle. I ended up freehanding a lace design for the thumb and set in some black and green-colored gem stones. For the index finger, I tried to copy what was going on in J-Lo’s dress. The pattern was too intricate to draw on my nails freehand, and as you know, I don’t own a stamping set, so I ended up just drawing some gold diamond shapes over a black outline and just set in some black gemstones. I tried to mimic the peek-a-boo effect of her dress on my middle finger, but it looked weird and I ended up just adding a fishnet effect over the “nude” bits of the nail, to make it look less weird. For the ring finger, I used a gold nail art pen and tried to draw another lace pattern. Last but not the least, for the pinkie, I drew a fishnet pattern ♥ I guess my advice for you is, you should just do a fishnet pattern for all fingers. LOL. It would be a lot prettier and a lot simpler to do than the stuff that I did. I wanted to change the entire manicure, but it was getting late and I have to get up at 5:30 AM (every single day) because I’m a working (zombie) mom. I can truly say that I am not very happy with the end result and to be honest, I would not be surprised if this gets no likes or reblogs at all. LOL  Oh well, tomorrow is another day. If I manage to squeeze in some time tonight I’m going to do a blue + purple pattern that will kick both Day 5 and Day 6’s butt.
