Need an Adjustment?



I've been wanting to try this design ever since I started me internship.  This past weekend we attended the TLC Chiropractic seminar in Philly, so. . . what better time?  The vertebrae didn't turn out as realistic as I had planned but they definitely got the point across.  Starting from the top the nails have Thorasic vertebrae 10 down to Lumbar vertebrae 5.  My lovely co-worker Diane was the one who pointed my nails out to everyone and they were a HUGE hit.  THANKS DIANE!  Also, they're a little chipped because I forgot to take a picture before I left for the weekend. 


First: paint entire nail a solid neutral color so the drawing really stands out
Second: use a fine point Sharpie for control to make vertebrae
Third: cover with top coat

Button up Butter-Cup



I LOVE SPARKLES!  I wanted to get back to a girly design after doing some modern and simple designs on my nails lately.  


First: paint entire nail a pale neutral color
Second: paint glitter polish on top 3rd of the nail
Third: while glitter is still wet sprinkle Glamour dust on top 3rd of the nail
Fourth: add sticky pearls to thumb and ring nail for added pop
Fifth: cover with no chip clear coat
