Cheery Cherry Nail Art

Next step with using our dotting tool, is creating art with it! On the manicure today, I decided to use my dotting tool to create some cute cherries! I actually got the idea for this manicure from a YouTube video by CutePolish. Creating cherries with your dotting tool is really easy. You just need two red dots next to each other, and then you can use your dotting tool to draw three little lines for the stem and leaf. I couldn't decide if I liked the white "shine dots" on my cherries or not, so I did one hand with each ;)

Base color for this manicure was a Sally Hansen Whirlwind White. The red in the cherries is Zoya Sookie, and the green is Four Leaf Clover by China Glaze.

Don't have a dotting tool yet?  Here is the set I use all the time from Born Pretty Store.

Hot Pink Zebra Nails

I must start out by saying that I am so sorry for my absence. I have just been sooooooooooooooo busy and I hate that I've neglected my little bloggy. I promise to make more time for you in the future! Ok, so now to today's Pink Wednesday manicure, holy hotness! I know this look has been done a zillion times before, but I don't care, these nails were SO MUCH FUN!  Srsly, if you have never done anything this bright and fierce on your nails before, DO IT!!!! DO IT NOW!!!! Here's the look:

 

Here's how to achieve this look:

1. Start out with a base of China Glaze Shocking Pink (neon) - a color very true to it's name ;)  I used 3 coats.
2. Then add a diagonal french using your favorite white, you may need 2 coats for full coverage.  You could tape this off for a clean line like I did in this manicure, but I didn't because I knew I would be going over the line with black.
3. Using a black striper (mine is from Art Club) draw a line where the white meets the pink.
4. Still using the black striper you can draw your zebra lines OR you can tape off your pink side and stamp the zebra print like I had on my zebra kisses konadicure.  I know konad, born pretty and bundle monster all have at least one zebra print design on their plates.
5. Let your design dry really good, and then top coat.  I used Seche Vite because it does a good job of not smearing the design.
6. (Optional) Before the top coat dries, add your rhinestones on the black line. 

Hope this tutorial helps you get some super fierce zebra print nails!  Holler if you are wearing pink nails today!  And Let me know in the comments if you'd rock this very bold look!
XOXO!

Lucky's Nails

Hey guys!
I have an announcement to make about my blog.  I've decided to switch focus from my nails and focus on dog's nails instead.  What dog doesn't love a little POP on their claws?  Sure, there will be a huge decline in konadicure posts because their nails are just too little, but I'm sure we will find a new focus over here.  So, from now on, meet your new nail model, my dog Lucky:

He's ready for his manicure.  Picking Sally Hansen Lightning in Insta Dry of course because this doggie is on the go!  Look at those paws:

Lucky was always destined for nail art.  In fact, one of his favorite things is barking at himself in the mirror of my nail art caboodle :P

So, that's our dog, Lucky!  Hope you guys don't mind the change in focus!  Stay tuned for some hot doggie nails!

APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!

Have a great weekend, girlies!
