Valentine's Day Nail Designs

Hey guys! Asa here. I know I haven't posted in a WHILE but to make up for it I have a couple of nail designs and virtual cookies.

Here is the first one:

For this design, I used French Creme by WnW and some other WnW polishes. In order to make this design first put on a base coat of your choice. Then paint your nails with a white polish. Take a dotting tool or bobby pin and dip it in the polish of your choice and create a 'v' shape on the nail. It will create a heart shape. Add a top coat of your choice and enjoy your cute nails!

I just rotated this picture so it looks a bit weird. 

This design was also pretty simple. I mixed together a blue and white to make a sky blue color I wanted. You don't have to do this if you already have a sky blue polish. After the polish dries, use a dotting tool or a bobby pin to create clouds with a white polish. After the clouds dry, take a bobby pin or dotting tool to create hearts using a pink polish.

The design on my middle finger is actually from this awesome video by indigonova: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgkUCdEzhCY

Please ignore the yellow polish on the side of my finger.

For this next design, I used a mix of a nude color, white shimmery polish, and a light pink shimmer I had. After the base color dried I used a blue polish to cover half my nail diagonally and then used a glittery striper to create a line between the pink and the blue. I used a bobby pink to place two pink dots and then used a pink striper to create 'c's around the dot. I also added green leaves around the roses.

Here is another picture:

Have a fun and romantic Valentine's Day! I know I'll spend it with my one true love: food.
I leave you all with this super adorbs Doctor Who gif.

Starry Night Nails (cutepolish tutorial)

Hey all!

This is Asa. 

I apologize for the lack of nail posts!

Not my gif. 

I just got finals week done with so whew. *Wipes brows*

So my post today is Starry Night Nails. I have always been fascinated with van Gogh's Starry Night and this fascination got even stronger with "Vincent and the Doctor" (Doctor Who episode). 

I found cutepolish's tutorial on Starry Night nails and they were very easy to replicate actually!

Here is my picture:

I wish I could put the TARDIS on one of the nails though. 

From Left to Right: NK Smoother Nails Ridge Filling Base Coat, WnW Saved by the Blue, WnW  Teal or no Teal,  WnW Rain Check, L.A. Colors Nail Art Brush, Topcoat (no brand).

Also, as a side note, for the rest of the nails that were not Starry Night, I layered Rain Check over Teal or no Teal because I thought that Rain Check was a bit sheer and not blue-y enough and that Teal or no Teal was too blue-y.

So, readers, I leave you with this nail art that I attempted.

Here's a gif of Emily Deschanel dancing.

TARDIS Nail Design/Crackle Nails

Now, me (Asa) being a HUGE Doctor Who fan, I wanted to do a cool TARDIS nail design. However, I am also not as talented as everyone else.
But I did try to do a design.:

I decided to make a bow tie on my pinky because, well, bow ties are cool.

The glitter on the index finger was supposed to be the stars in a galaxy.

Here is another picture so you can see the glitter better:

I was sporting this design for about 2 days and no one in my school knew what a TARDIS was much less what Doctor Who was. It is my goal to find a DW in my school so I can discuss how Moffat continually messes with people's minds with his plot lines. 

Here are the colors I used:

From right to left: French White Creme from Wet n Wild, Wild Beauty Nail Paint in Black, Art Deco Nail Striper in yellow, and Wet n Wild's Saved by the Blue (from their Fast Dry collection).

The two colors that were not named were used for my crackle design on my left hand: (Sorry for a weird angle. It's really hard to take a picture with a DSLR using one hand).

I got the crackle from a random store somewhere in Uptown Manhattan. It was around $2.
The base color I used was Desert Dune from L.A. Colors and the Crackle is black.
I really like this crackles nail polish and at this price it was an amazing find.
