Beautiful designs that don't last

Have you ever wondered how long will the beads last on the nails? I have. So I started to put the beads on my nails, they looked so gorgeous but oh boy they didn't last a day not even one hour without even doing anything. I only stayed home and watched TV and next thing I knew was some of the beads had gone already.
The second experiment was the paints. I saw an inspiration on YouTube, they painted the flowers on the skin and it looked so pretty so I thought I'd try and I did. If you don't touch water then it probably last a day but I worked that day and I washed my hands a lot so it only lasted me a few hours.

for those of you who follow me a lot, please pass this link to any new girl trying to find the answers if i havent answered them. it helps me a lot and might inspire someone to  keep trying instead of giving up. i know i cannot do it alone...so, if you can...just pop this link for them and it would just be super cool if you do :D:D:D

my love to you guys :)

for your questions for how to use eyeshadow on your nails, please go to my faq link. it shows you how to use the "best glue ever" what it is, how it holds the shadow, what to expect and how to get the best, most long lasting results. everything you need to know about how to use eyeshadow in your nail art is here...i call eye shadow or eyeshadow "pigments". pigments are all eyeshadows and can be used as body glitter, lipgloss glitter, eyeshadow, or nail art enhancements...they are universal and can be bought at the mac counter, at bare escentuals counter, at the drugstore under "jessies girl" or "nyc" or "wet and wild" any compact high pigmented eyeshadow will work and i fully recommend you try it! also, you can buy glue at dollarnailart.com for other nail art adhesive (you need the glue for it to stick properly and last) what is special about foil or pigment glue adhesive is...it dries clear and very sticky and picks up pigment and keeps it shiny and on the nail for you to work on youru designs. :D

good luck!

UPDATE

"Friday I'm In Love"

professionalDQ and i are doing another, less formal collaboration. it is called "friday im in love" and it happens on friday, February 3. what you will do is make a valentine type of tutorial and name it "FRIDAY IM IN LOVE" ---then "video respond" to our "friday im in love" videos and see who else does it and respond to THEIR videos and we respond to your videos and so on and so on......what it does is...it allows us to meet and see other nail artists. it allows us to get other nail artists seen and hopefully promote the creative and new artists who are starting out. it is a hugely fun time and i love seeing all of the art. i will have a playlist made called friday im in love and all videos shared with me will automatically be uploaded to that playlist. with our "let it snow" collaboration, over 100 nail and makeup artists participated and it was so much fun. it was so great to see how many people got involved and did beautiful things, so i very much encourage you to participate and spread the word  to others who might want to participate as well.

"miss professional nail"

i have been selected to work with miss pro nail to launch their new line of "sation" nail polishes. i am very excited to try them and work with them and just be a part of their new polish line. when i first began nails, i couldnt afford high end polishes and i remember buying "sation" polishes and being SO GRATEFUL for them for making good polish that was beautiful and inexpensive for me. when they approached me, i had to say yes. i feel very honored and excited and very nostalgic lately. i remember the first time i used their polish actually. it was mixing 24k gold and topping it with bordeaux and making a deep candy apple red.....it seems like an eternity ago.

The completed Avatar nails

After a few failures, I decided to give the Avatar one more try...
My friends told me that "don't give up yet, we think you can do it." Alright, whatever, I'll try.
I did the designs on artificial nails because I didn't have much time to work on the designs plus I'm not patient enough to do it all at once (these designs really took me a long time to finish).
Hope you guys like it as much as I do

Matte nail polish by Essie

I read a lot of reviews of the Essie matte nail polish (matte about you), so I decided to give it a try. But I couldn't find it in any store near where I live :( so I decided to order the Essie Matte about you online...
I have to say that I really like it. I like that I don't have to buy a whole lot of matte color polishes to achieve the matte look. Just this matte top coat over any color of polish that you already own and there you go the new matte polish.. Go get it before it's gone ;)

The first time ever to try this technique, I have to say that it looks simple but it's hard to get it done right...I'm kinda pleased of the outcome though.
gotta need to practice on it more

Tranfromers

Since I did a lot of girly nail designs I asked my guy friend if he wants to see anything on my nails. He said "I'm not a girl why would you ask me?" I said to him that it doesn't have to be girly stuff just anything. he replied "how about transformers, can you do it?"
So I went home and tried to do it at night before bedtime like usual... do you think I nailed it?

Avatar

I got asked to do a lot of nail designs lately... I don't mind doing them but TIME is the problem... I work full time so I only have time to do nails at night before bedtime.
it's hard, but I really enjoy doing it.. it challenges me in a way.
this Avatar nail design is requested by my coworker.

getting high

My hubby said that I like to get high with nail polishes... he said to me "honey, how can you stand that smell? it can make you high you know."
Now every time that I go to my office (my nail station in the guest bathroom) to do my nails, he would say "you're getting high?"
yeah.., I like to get high alright.. I hope people don't think that I'm using drugs when I say I'm gonna go get high. lol

Mermaid nails

Since I did a lot of nail designs for me and other people, my aunt asked me to do the mermaid for her. I told her that since I never drew cartoons or facials before it's going to be hard for me... I did it anyways ... so here are the designs
