6/16/11 - Tie-Dye Nails















Isn't this cool? Tie-dye nails! I think it's super cool!
Clearly I still need to clean up the edges, but I was so worried about messing up such a cool mani that I'm saving that until later. :)

6/15/11 - Sister Mani

I tried something kind of new today- I painted my sister's nails. I don't really do much painting of other people's nails, so I asked her what she wanted and did my best to give it to her. I think she was pleased with it. :)

Hello!

Why, hello there! I'm Quixii, and I'm trying out this whole blogging thing.
My interest in painting my nails if fairly recent. I got my first professional manicure last summer (almost exactly a year ago), and in November 2010, I started painting my own nails more consistently. I have a lot of fun finding ways to express my creativity in the tiny canvas of my nails, and I hope you have fun looking at what I've come up with. :)

While the blog has been created today, I have included all the my designs that I have documented from the past.

6/2/11 - The First Crack... nails





















So I finally got to try out my new OPI Black Shatter.
I used two Sinful Colours underneath. I started with the teal, and then did random stripes of the pink on top. I didn't care what it looked like underneath, because I figured the shatter on top would make it look cool no matter what. And I was right. :) Lots of compliments on this one, too.

5/31/11 - French Anniversary Mani


So, I tried out a self-done French manicure for my one-year anniversary with my boyfriend (June 1st). For my left hand, I free-drew it, and for my right hand, I tried masking tape guides. The quality ended up about the same - fairly crappy. But it looked alright from a far and DBF thought I looked beautiful the day of, so everything worked out. :)

So this was my fail first attempt at water marbling. First time in a while I haven't gotten any comments on my nails. Of course I know why - it looks like ick. xP
