Hello Short Nails!

Hello Dear Readers!

I want to show you how I finally cut my long nails a couple of weeks ago.

Well, my nails are not too short but still is drastic change.

This is the reason why I had to cut them... I have two serious split nails down to the nail bed. I thought that if I leave my nails long like these, I would really hurt my nails one day...

My nails will grow up long eventually, for now I will enjoy my shorties : )

This is the first manicure I did adter I cut my nails.

I used Kleancolor - Holo Chrome as the base.I painted the half moon design and stamped a puzzle pattern from XL A plate using China Glaze - Millenium. Sorry about this crappy picture. This design was really hard to capture.

Ethnic Print nails - clothing inspired

Last Monday was my first day of class and my 3rd semester in university. I was nervous about taking new classes and meeting new classmates. I'm a shy girl, so, the start of a semester is stressing time for me.
I had little time to make a detailed nail art design, so, I opted for a simple, full nail stamp. When I'm out of creative juices, I look at my closet for inspiration. This time a tank top from H&M, which has an ethnic print, was my source of inspiration.

For the base color I used Sally Hansen Complete Manicure nail polish in "Pink slip" it is supposed to be a sheer pale pink, but it looks more like a light beige to me. I applied two coats because it is very sheer and streaky formula. Then, using Kleancolor in black I used a nail stamp design from Magnonails XL - A plate which has a zigzag pattern.

Here is the result:

 

What do you think of the result?

Thanks for reading ^ ^
