Hand painted nails

Wow! I totally did not realize how long it had been since I posted something to the blog. It has been a busy month but I have some pretty cool nails for you today: hand painted mix and match nails! I love Robin Moses and, as most of you know, she is the best nail artist when it comes to hand painted highly detailed nail art. I decided to come up with some cool designs that are on trend. So here they are:

I’m pretty proud of these, the anarchy symbol actually looks like it was painted on a textures wall and the detail in the mushroom is amazing! I used acrylic paints to do each design over a polish base, the design was then sealed using Seche Vite Top Coat but I would probably seal everything using some uv builder gel if I were to paint these onto a client’s nails.
What do you guys think? Have you used acrylic paint to do your nails? I would love to see what you came up with!
Next up you get to see the rest of these bad boys!

Robin Moses Tiki Gods

Hello! So today I am super duper excited to show you my version of Robin Moses’ nail art featuring Tiki Gods. For those of you who have yet to discover Robin Moses she is a definitely a master of the nail art world. Everything she does is hand painted and she has a ton of video tutorials on YouTube. You must check her out! Anyhow since I love this woman’s art I subscribe to her channel on YouTube and I was so floored when I saw her Tiki Totem nails that I vowed to reproduce them! I pulled out all my polish and all my brushes, started the video and followed along step by step ( anyone else hear NKOTB?) and this is what I came up with:

What do you think? I think they turned out pretty well, they are not as clean as Robin’s but I’m pretty proud of them. Needless to say I used the seche UV top coat on those puppies and babies them quite a bit, all in all I wore them for about 10 days! That UV top coat really protects you polish.

For this look I used:
Too many polishes to name!
Seche Vite Base Coat
Seche Vite UV Top Coat
