Lumpy Space Princess Acrylic Design

Okay so this isn't a Nail Art post but I thought I would make an exception because I love Lumpy Space Princess, and Asa will be posting some Lumpy Space Princess Nail Art in the next week or so.





Design based on this T-shirt

I'll be back with some posts about the latest voxbox courtesy of Influenster, the Latina Voxbox!

This was one of my favorite shows when I was younger! Blue's design was done with two Sally Hansen Nail Art Pens in Blue and Bright Blue.
Hope you like it!

I googled various images of Spider-Man and his costume and came up with this nail design.

Bunny Nails for Spring!

Hola everyone, Asa here!

This time I have another Spring Nail Art for you. Bunny Nails!
I love bunnies because they are so cute and are perfect for Spring time.
I had a lot of fun doing this nail design and actually these aren't m own design, they are cutepolish's
I used a similar technique as her except I changed up my colors and did not  use a dotting tool (because I don't own any)

Here are some pictures:


All pictures are in natural light. 

Here is the stuff I used:

Spring Leopard Nails


Hola! Asa here guys.
I have a spring-y leopard nails for y'all. I actually did these December 29, 2011 according to the details of these pictures. I had gotten some new nail polishes from CJ for X-mas and I decided to use the pink one. 
This is without flash

I'm not sure what the base color is called (as it has no name) but the blue dots I did are with Wet n Wild's Rain Check. I then used my Art Deco nail brush in black to create the circles around the dots. 
I think this is a really interesting and soft (and spring-y) twist on the classic leopard nails which are  usually golden or brown. 
This can also be a good Easter-ish manicure if you want to diverge from the candies, bunnies, and flowers. 
Although I do love me some candy!

Kiss Nail Dress "Body Suit" Review


Here's another review of a product I received in my love voxbox complimentary of the amazing program Influenster. The Kiss Nail Dress was the product I was looking most forward to try. Previously in my Holiday Voxbox, I had received ImPRESS press on manicure (which I really loved). 

I received my nails in the print "Body Suit." It's a bit of a crazy leopard print design.



I'm going to be honest. It was a pain to file down the excess sticker off the nail. I became increasing frustrated and eventually just didn't care anymore. People with larger nail beds should know that some of the stickers will not completely cover the nail. The "stickers" also peel at the edges and the tips, and because I was worried about yanking them off accidentally, I used a top coat over the stickers. This did not help much. I will say, that although they peel at the edges, they will definitely stay on if they are pressed occasionally. The removal was easy and I only needed a few dabs of acetone to get rid of the adhesive.
This is a good product, especially for a weekend out with a quick no mess application.
Here's some official information:

Kiss Nail Dress

Fashion That Sticks
Introducing Kiss Nail Dress, ultimate nail fashion for tips and toes! Just peel, apply, and shape for a manicure that lasts up to 10 days. On in minutes, off in seconds without remover. Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. Check out Peplum, a deep black with multi-colored gems for a pop of color, or Babydoll, for a golden and glamorous jeweled look. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in.

With 28 strips in each package, you can cut up your extras to create designs that can be used on top of polished or artificial nails. Nail Dress doesn’t dry out the way other polish strips can, so you can save them to use on your next DIY mani. A nail design booklet is included in each package, just in case you need a little inspiration.

And don’t forget about your feet! Nail Dress looks awesome on toes, too – just use the square side of the sticker for a perfect fit.

Where to Buy
Nail Dress’ suggested retail is $6.99 and is available in all major drug chains and mass retailers like WalMart, CVS and Walgreens.
