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
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.
BURBERRY NAILS FOR DAY 12 - STRIPES
These are nail transfers, they are a lot like temporary tattoos and they are a pain in the butt to handle. It’s quite hard not to mess up but the results are pretty. My thumb got effed up a bit so it looks like the polish is melting. LoL. You can’t see it here cause the poses are strategic, and because glitter is always forgiving, I layered a gold glitter polish over the mani.
My daughter’s toe nail art using kiddie nail polish (the strawberry shortcake kind). So cute. Will do this on myself too. LOL
