Blingalicious Toes with Andielapirata

Have been meaning to do a blingalicious pedicure ever since the trend came out. Hadn't had time nor the stones to create this look until now.

Used a Frosted pearl pink Orly 'SeaShell' and blinged out the toe with Real Swarovski crystals

Expensive look but worth every dollar!

Check it out!

Well Hello there Kitty!

Just did a midnight manicure on myself with these adorable metal Hello Kitty's that i bought! This is a complete Orly Gel FX manicure. I hand-drew the flowers, love how Haute Red is so vibrant. I custom made the accent nail color using Orly's White Tips and Bare Rose. It came out very peachy.

Groovy Baby

Hello, hello I'm back and with a brand new nail design haven't seen it anywhere else. So here's to making it the latest nail trend lol! I created a tie-dye nail design, very groovy! This an all Soak-off gel manicure 'Orly Gel FX' first i did the blue base then i created a spiral with all the colors in the middle and lastly dragged each color into one another. I absolutely am completely in love with the final results. As soon as i get my hands on bright colors like Yellow or Orange ill create a much colorful one. But this one is very subtle and cute perfect for work. Check out my natural nails they finally grew and look so beautiful except for the middle finger it broke :(

Here are some pictures of the colors and tools i used. 

Also here's another picture of my wonderful Orly Gel FX LED lamp.

Peace & Love

All hand made

took me a while but i managed to do it on my right hand

Product Review: Nicole by OPI 'Drying Drops'

Why I love it? I can apply my polish and continue with my regular routine without having to wait.

Why it works? I wasn't able to find the main ingredients, as to why it dries so rapidly. But the way it

Why you'll love it? If your a girl on the go like me, you can now D.I.Y your nails in between tasks.

Where you can purchase it? At any retail store like Target, Walgreen, Vons or online Amazon

 Are you tired of having to wait for your nail polish to dry? I know i was until i found a great product that cuts half of the drying time and allows me to continue with my day. 

Nicole by OPI 'Drying Drops' works like a charm. You do your regular polish application wait a minute or two till the top coat has adhere to the polish and apply 1-2 drops. Your nail polish will be completely dry in about 5 minutes. You won't have to worry about going to sleep right after and waking up with sheet marks.

I will admit that I've had this product for quite a long time and had never put it to the test. Until last night when I wanted to polish my tips but also wanted to go sleep right after. Tried it a minute after my top coat waited about 10 minutes and i woke up with amazing nails. 

Several brands carry drying drops and I'm sure most of them have the same ingredients but the Nicole by OPI is supper cute and comes in travel size. Bought mine at Target for about $15+

Don't take my word for it, give it a try.

the begining of Acrylic nail designs

I'm back I've been m.i.a for quite some time. Just started a great new job in which I'm extremely happy. Haven't had time to do that many designs. Anyway if you follow me on my facebook nail page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Karla-Nail-Design/193176844050046 Karla Nail Design you will know that i just purchased my first Organic Nails collection 'African'.

A little about Organic Nails from what my friend and former class mate Jackie Lopez taught me.Organic Nails is an acrylic system i believe its a well known Mexican brand. Pricey but very good quality the color pigments are very concentrated and always have true colors. I hadn't been able to purchase any but i finally did.. I bought the 'African' Organic Collection which is exactly like the name. Its these gorgeous wild, intense and very fierce colors.

My 'African' Organic Collection

Another friend of mine Saki loves long stiletto nails and forward me a picture of Anna Del Rey strutting these awesome nails.

I will be doing them on Saki really soon but wanted to freshen up my skills and came out with my version.

I must say for being my first time there not that bad

I used the Red 'Canoe' from the 'African' Collection of Organic Nails 

On the index finger i did a 3D design and encapsulated it.

 Final product came out gorgeous

Galaxy Nails

One of the latest trends in nails are Galaxy nails.Just how it sounds its a design inspired by the Galaxy itself.

This design is achieved by using as many colors as you like on top of black polish. Topped with 2 different kind of glitter to make it look like stars. Here is my take on Galaxy nails hope you like.

The Hunger Games

I'm a new fan of The Hunger Games trilogy. Read the 1st book in less than a week and now I'm almost finish with the 2nd book. Everyone who i swore and vowed to that i would never read this trilogy you can now say "I told you so"

I was very reluctant into becoming a fan of these books. I felt like it was no longer part of my generation.

Like Harry Potter was, after-all i did grow up on Harry Potter. Since i turned 25 i kept telling myself that i would leave The Hunger Games out of my life. I wouldn't even bother to watch the movie trailer or give it a shot. Until a lot of my friends started telling me how good it was. That still didn't work, but then I saw how big it was getting and had to see for myself what the big fuss was about. Now im so glad that I did i became an instant fan after the first chapter. It has such a great plot and i feel like the story line is so realistic. There's absolutely no magic, vampires or wear-wolfs. I have given in to temptation and can honestly say I'm enjoying every page. With that said if you haven't read it i highly recommend it.
