Autumn Time- Fall Nail Design

Hello everyone! Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and a long weekend (if you got the time off from work.) Today on the blog we will be creating a fall themed nail design, even though most people are probably like it is winter, but it is actually it is still fall, so I thought we could still go a head and create a fall design, even thought most people might be in the winter/ Christmas mood. 

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this fall nail design-

Top and Base coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat.

Polishes- Sally Hansen- xterme wear- Sun kissed and OPI Hawaii- That's Hula- rious. 

Acrylic paint- Black, red, yellow, green, and brown.

Nail art brushes- Thin detail brush and stripper brush.

Other- Small cup of water to clean off nail art brushes. 

Apply a top coat, let that dry.

Polish-

Thumb, index, and pinky- orange creme polish. 

Middle and ring finger nail- light green creme polish. 

Let that dry. 

Pumpkin on the Middle Finger Nail: 

First we will start off with the pumpkin design on the middle finger nail. Take a thin stripper brush with black paint on it, starting near the tip of the nail make an oval shape. Then make a stem and fill that in with brown paint. 

Then with a detail brush, mix yellow and red to make orange (unless you have orange paint) and then fill in your pumpkin.

For some small details make four line on your pumpkin, then make a curved line with a loop coming out of the top your pumpkin and another curved line on the other side. 

Leaves on the Ring Finger Nail:

Next we will make leaves on the ring finger nail. First we will make the lager leaf on the upper right hand corner of the nail near the cuticle. First take a thin stripper brush with black paint on it and make small triangle near the center of the nail, make two more triangles on both sides, then fill that in with yellow and brown, once you have the leaf color opaque enough make a few line in the leaf for the veins. 

After that make two green leaves on the tip of the nails and then outline them. 

Lastly make a few curved lines in the empty space of the nail for some vines. 

Pumpkin's on the Thumb Nail:

Lastly on the thumb nail we will make two pumpkins, take a thin stripper brush with black paint on it and make a large oval and then a small oval right next to each other. 

Fill in your pumpkins with orange paint, then make a stem with brown paint, and outline the stem.

Then on your pumpkins make two line on them. 

Once your nail design is Fall/ Autumn ready apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it to last.

Hope all of you are having a good fall and had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope all of you enjoyed this fall nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun! 

 

Boo Happy Halloween Nail Design

Hello everyone! Happy Halloween! Today on the blog we will be creating a cute Halloween design with a ghost and a pumpkin, just in time for your treat or treating or Halloween parties.

Here are the polishes and nail art tool used to create this cute Halloween nail deign.

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat.

Polishes- Holo Taco- Double Dare- Cristine's  Bday Polish, Holo Taco- Zyler the cat, Holo Taco- Electrostatic- Electric Holo Collection, Holo Taco- Orange Drink- Rainbow Collection, and Holo Taco- World's First- Chorme Collection. 

Acrylic paint- Black, white, and brown.

Nail art brushes- Thin detail brush and stripper brush.

Other- Water and acetone to clean off your nail art brushes.

Apply a top coat to your nails, let that dry.

Polishes- 

Thumb and middle finger nails- Black polish (Holo Taco- Double Dare)

Index- Orange glitter polish (Holo Taco- Zyler the cat)

Ring- Black holographic polish (Holo Taco- Electrostatic)

Pinky- Orange holographic polish (Holo Taco- Orange Drink)

Let that dry.

*With all of the nail art that I create I go back and fourth between the nails, to let each part dry before staring another part of that design.*

Ghost on the Ring Finger Nail

First we will start off with the ghost on the ring finger nail. Take a small detail brush with white paint on it and near the cuticle make a circle, then make two lines going down the circle you made for the body and then make three curved lines for his "feet". Then fill in your ghost with the white paint, you will need to go over this a few time to be opaque. 

Once your ghost has dried, we can make his cute little face. Take a detail brush or a dotting tool with black paint on it and make two eyes. Then with your thin striper brush make a small curved line under his eyes for his smile.

Lastly we will make his little hands, take that same detail brush and make curved lines on each side of his body for this little nub arms. 

The Word Boo the the Middle Finger Nail

Next we are on the the harder part, writing the word boo on the nail, first we will make the outline with white paint, I find it easier to make an outline first that way if you mess up and the paint has not dried you can still wipe it off and try again. Then when you have your outline the way you like you can then go over it with silver chrome polish. 

Pumpkin on the Thumb Finger Nail 

With the pumpkin I also first make an outline of the shape of the pumpkin first with a thin stripper brush with brown paint on it. Then take an orange holographic polish and fill in your outline.

Let that dry, and then we will make the pumpkins face. Take a thin detail brush with black paint on it and make two triangles for the eyes, then a small triangle under the eyes for the nose, the for the mouth make a zig zag line. 

Lately take your thin detail brush with brown paint on it and make a small square on the top for the stem. 

Once you have your cute Halloween nail design they way you look apply a top coat to seal in your nails and help them to let though all of your trick or treats.

Here is the practice version, for some reason I couldn't get the ghost little smile to look the same, but the final design still turned out cute.

Hope all of you have a safe and Happy Halloween, and hope you enjoyed this Halloween design!

See you next time for more nail fun! 

MM Galaxy Using Orly Kelli's Galaxy Collection

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will be creating a very simple galaxy nail design using the polishes from the Orly Kelli's Galaxy collection. This collection did come out a few months ago, as of doing this post these polishes are still available on the website. When this collection came out and I punched it, right away I wanted to do a galaxy design, it just took me a while to do said design, and of course Kelli Marissa bet me to it. Also I do want to give Kelli Marissa some credit, I did get this idea from her and made it my own in some way. 

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this little galaxy on your nails.

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat.

Polishes- Orly- Kelli's Anti- Matter, Kelli's Galaxy, Kelli's Solstice (All 3 polishes from Kelli's Galaxy Trio/ Remix Trio), Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Hard to get, Holo Taco- Flakie, and Funky Fingers- As If. 

Nail Art tools- Makeup sponge and some tweezers (not show above.) 

That's all you will need for this nail design.

Apply a top coat to clean nails and then let that dry.

Nail Polish- 

Base color polishes- 

Thumb, index, middle and pinky- A black polish that has red and blue shimmer in it, of just a plain black polish. (I used Orly- Kelli's Anti- Matter) 

Ring finger nail- a light blue (I used Kelli's Solstice) 

Let your polish dry.

For this galaxy design we will be creating a dark galaxy design on most of the nail and a light design on the ring finger. 

We will first start off with the dark galaxy design.

First we will need to take your makeup sponge and tweezers and tear off very small pieces to make our galaxy. I had about ten small pieces just in case. 

On the thumb, index, middle and pinky nail take the dark purple polish, Kelli's Galaxy and pour it on to a nail mat or a plastic bag. 

Then take your small piece of sponge with the tweezers and dab the sponge into the polish and dab a line going across the nail from one end to the other of the nail. On each nail I switched the direction of the way I started my galaxy.   

Then take another piece of sponge with your tweezers and pour a small amount to the light blue polish, Kelli's Solstice, dab that on the sides of Kelli's Galaxy, so that you can still see that polish in the middle. If needed you can always add more of the Kelli's Galaxy if that was covered up to much. 

Next take another small piece of sponge with your tweezers and pour a small amount of white, then dab that on one side of the Kelli's Solstice that we just put on the nail.

For the light version of galaxy repeat the same steps as the dark design, first using a white polish down the middle and then Kelli's Galaxy on each side of the white.

For the final touch we will take Holo Taco Flakie topper, polish this mainly on the galaxy we just made, it is also ok if we do get some on to the black part, but mainly focus the flakie topper on the galaxy. 

Lastly we will add some star glitter on the the nail, place the glitters on the nails before the Holo Taco Flakie polish dries, then right away take your top coat and apply a small amount to the stars. This help the stars to stay on the nails. 

Once your galaxy nails are ready for your next space adventure, apply a top coat to seal in your nails and to help your design to last. 

Here it the practice version. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this galaxy nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!  

PS. If you didn't notice in the title of this post I called this design MM Galaxy, that of course stand for Munchkin's Magnificent Galaxy. 😊

Hawaiian Time- Tropical Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we have one more tropical design for the summer, even though to most people summer has come to a close, in most places at lest in the US the weather still fills summer like, so why not make at lest on more summer/ tropical themed nail design. In the last M.M.M post we took a look at the ILNP Under the Sea collection, today we will be creating a design using most of the polishes from that collection. 

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this tropical nail design:

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat.

Polishes- ILNP- Sea Glass- Under the Sea Collection, ILNP- Paradise, ILNP- Blowing Bubbles, and ILNP- Sandbar Magnetic polish.

Acrylic paint- Black and white. 

Nail art brushes- Thin stripper brush and flat brush.

Other- Water to clean off your nail art brushes and a makeup sponge. 

Apply a top coat, let that dry. 

Polishes- 

Thumb and pinky nail- A light blue holo polish (ILNP- Blowing Bubbles)

Index, middle and ring finger nails- Base color a beige sand colored polish (ILNP- Sandbar)

Let that dry.

For this design I will not go into too much detail on how to create this design seeing how, most of my tropical designs are created the same way, just different polishes.

Anyways for this design we will need to create a gradient on the index, middle and ring finger nails. On your sponge you will need to start off with, Sandbar, Blowing Bubbles, Paradise, and then Sea Glass. Sponge this on the nails three time to be opaque.

For the ocean waves take a flat brush with a very small amount of water down white paint and dab this where the sand and ocean meet, Sandbar and Blowing Bubbles bend together.    

For the final touch we will add two black/ shadows of a palm trees to the nails, on the index nail make a palm tree on the left side of the nail, then on the ring finger nail make a palm tree on the right side of the nail. On the middle finger nail leave that with just the ocean. 

Once your nails are vacation ready apply a top coat to seal in your nails and help your beautiful tropical design to last. 

As with all of the nail design that I create, I always do a practice version, if I feel like I did a good job on the practice version I will share it with all of you.

Hope all of you enjoyed this topical nail design! Also hope everyone had a great summer. I know my summer was pretty good, this summer was the first summer in a while that my hubby and I went on a vacation that required us to get on a plain, we went to Miami Beach, Florida. 

See you next time for more nail polish fun!
