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

Now this is a classic leopard mani. I was really in love with what Sarah’s (Chalkboard Nails) color combination, so I had to try it and this one, I loved!
As promised (to my hubby mainly), I did the famous Laura Moser (DEXTER - Ice Truck Killer) nails. In the 70s I believe this style was referred to as “skittles” nails because they sorta resemble skittles candies. I must admit though, with huge apologies to my hubby, that I wasn’t a huge fan of this mani. I didn’t like the color combination at all. As outrageous as I might be with my manicure sometimes, I still want them to look coordinated and this did not look coordinated at all to me. I tried adding rhinestones and whatnot to it but it didn’t look good :-(

I hate water marbling. It causes a huge mess and I can’t perfect it. I prefer to have control over the outcome so this method is definitely not for me. #nailart #nailartclub #watermarbling #nails #Caronia (Taken with instagram)
My Looney Tunes nails. My daughter and I were watching Space Jam so I thought I’d do a mani featuring them. #nailartclub #nailcompetitions2 #nailart #Nails #nailpolish (Taken with instagram)
Tinkerbell nails!
These were kind of difficult to paint, as human-like faces usually are. I used the tiniest needle I could find to paint her nose and eyebrows.
I also read that mint is in this spring, so I chose a more minty green for the other nails.
Total Polishes used: 9
New ten-minute mani that I did last night… The ring finger got smudged… Sorry. Was too excited to put the top coat on. This is so easy to do. There is no need for special brushes.
HOW I DID THIS:
1. Choose 3 or 4 colors that you want to use. I chose summer colors coz it’s summer here, we went swimming yesterday and my daughter and I both got tanned. LOL
2. Put your base coat on. For me it was a light green/cyan color.
3. Using the regular brush that comes with your bottle of polish, paint on a wavy line with the second color you want to use. Mine was yellow.
4. Do the same thing for your third (dark salmon pink) and fourth color (pink).
5. Let it dry for a bit before painting on your top coat to avoid smudging… (Look at what happened to my ring finger :-( )
And you’re done!
