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.

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.

Now check out my Inspired Nail Design

The Lorax 'Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss'

This has become my favorite theme nail design. 

For the 2nd year straight I give you my Dr. Seuss inspired nail design in honor of his birthday. 

Also given that one of the movies adapted by his books comes out today. 

I decided to kill two birds with one stone by doing the Lorax.

The Lorax was published in 1971. 

'The Lorax' is a creature who tries to save the Truffula trees from being cut down. By the 'Once-Ler' who is building his invention in the land. The Lorax pleads and speaks on behalf of nature.

I'm so exited to show you my new years nail design. I went out of the traditional new years colors and opted for bright bold ones and i love how they came out. I also switched my nail shape from my favorite (pointy) to a square shape it just felt more appropriate for the occasion.Hope you like all my pictures and i love how my lips came out i tried out the Cosmopolitan New Years glitter lip look.

Unbelievable 2011 is coming to an end in less than 3 days. This year has been so special in so many ways. Ill be posting about my year in my other blog so check it out http://kpatricia19-inhale-exhale.blogspot.com/. Anyways so thought i would give it a shot and try a pre-New Year nail design. This won't be my official design,  ill be doing fiber-glass nails on my self to give them more length. I got the inspiration to do this design for two reasons. One my friend Liat Nosrati wrote a very interesting article on her website about Glitter polish  check it out at http://www.tinizine.com/2011/12/review-milani-jewel-fx/ Second inspiration was the one and only New York ball that drops as we cheer to the NEW YEAR!!!

I'm also very obsessed with glitter nail polishes I would wear them everyday if it weren't so hard to remove.

Well hope you like this design. I call it my Nicole by OPI Glitter Extravaganza because my favorite glitter polishes are Nicole by OPI and these are the one's i used. Stay tune for more New Years Designs

Tip: When these glitter's start chipping try soaking them off in 100% Acetone for a quick removal.

Ever since i finished doing this design, ive been dying to post it. I'm extremely happy and very proud of what i consider a masterpiece lol! In class we just learned to sculpt acrylic nails, I went crazy and did my first stiletto acrylic sculpted nails. Did 3D flowers on them hope you like, as much as I do.
