French Mani Fun!: Zebra Print Acrylics!

Hey lovelies!

So remember how in my last French Mani Fun post I told you how these leopard print acrylics were my favorite set of falsies I've ever painted?

Well uhm, yeah, that's changed now. 

Because these have got to be my favorite falsies I've done, my favorite French Mani I've done, and it only comes in a close second for my favorite Mani I've ever done EVER.

(The #1 all-time favesies being this rainbow zebra print mani!) 

So here they are, sparkly hot pink zebra stripe French falsies!! (Ahh!! :D) 

(P.S. Sorry about the excess glitter around my cuticles, I got really excited and didn't bother with cleanup before I started snapping pictures LOL) 

For this mani I used: 

Kiss Nails - Everlasting French Tip Acrylics 

Sephora by OPI - What Aura Gonna Wear? 

Sally Hansen - Black Nail Art Pen 

Pixel - Pixel Dust 

Seche Vite Top-Coat

I also pulled the little Loubitan trick and painted the underside pink too! (I can't wait til my natural nails are long enough to do that again!!): 

(Ahem, pay no mind to the fact that you can see my messes un-shaped natural nail on the index finger LOL) 

I. LOVE. THESE. :D  !!!

Oh and hey, if you're wondering at all about the process of how I did these, there's a little mini tutorial coming soon, so stay tuned! ;)

Flip/Flop February Day 5: 3D/Decals!

Helloooo! :) time for Flip/Flop February Day 5!

Today's Flip/Flop is 3D/Decals. I guess you could say I sort of did a mixture of both? What I did was make DIY decals out of 3D textured polish! :)

For idea of doing crackle hearts, i was actually inspired by this photo i saw on Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/pin/154881674657121258/
So credit to the artist for my inspiration! :)

I decided to combine the idea of crackle hearts and decals, so I made crackle heart shaped decals!! :D
If you're interested in how I make the DIY decals, I actually did a tutorial on for a guest post I did back in August of last year for Tall Girl With Pretty Painted Nails. So if you'd like to see the process of how I make them, you can find the tutorial here: http://www.tallgirlinheels.com/2012/08/takeover-thursday-katie-from-nails-by.html?m=0

To make them crackle, I did the whole process the same way, but for my base coat I used the same pink that I painted my nails with, then let that dry and did a coat of the crackle over it. Easy peasy lemon squeezey! ;)

I really love the way they turned out, they almost look like zebra stripes! (And you know me and zebra stripes!! ;D)

Then, just for the fun of it, on my opposite thumb (on my right hand) I did a little free-hand crackle heart. Obviously it didn't come out as good as the decals, but I still liked it! :)

The color I used were:
E.L.F. - Fab Fuchsia
China Glaze - Black Crackle

As always, don't forget to check out the other bloggers flip/flops!! :)
