Nubia's Nonsense: mani

There's Nothing More Fun Than A Pop Of Color!

I love giving myself little D.I.Y. Manicures. Taking care of your nails is key girls! No one wants to look at busted hands. We don't all have enough time to go get mani's done constantly, and honestly, sometimes I rather be in the comfort of my home.

Hey Nubians,

By Halloween Nails, I Meant A Sweet Cameo By Michael Myers Himself!

I wanted to give myself a 'Fall is approaching' manicure but didn't want to go straight for orange or hunter green which are usually my go-to colors. I decided to do a cool grey nail. I had the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color 'Show Steeler' nail polish which I had never used and it was just what I was looking for. Perfection. I love the color! It's a little something different. It dries very quickly which is a big perk for my clumsy butt and it has a pretty shine to it without needing a clear top coat. My nails feel so pretty. I'm very picky with nail polish but I highly recommend the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri line. I've had good experiences with it. I despise when the color on my nails chips quickly and that doesn't happen with Insta-Dri.

Hey Nubians,

Its the Care Bear Countdown... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

Aren't these nails so super cute!?!? Perfect for Spring too. They're press-ons I found at a random 99 cent store. Though I love getting a nice gel manicure done every so often at a salon, I hate the procedure (I have no patience). These press-on nails do the job and they last a few days. They're also only 99 cents for about 5-7 days as opposed to 40 dollars for 14 days.

Anyway, the pretty pastel colors from my mani remind me of the Care Bears. I used to love watching the cartoons as a little girl, it sent out such a positive message of expressing your feelings and emotions.

'Each Care Bear comes in a different color and has a specialized insignia on its belly that represents its duty and personality.'

I always say live your life through colors, emotion, and a dash of glitter.

Cheers!

Hello Babes and Babettes,

Trick or treat nails! This is a cute but scary manicure Monday. My sister in law loves to draw awesome little things, she's all about that Do It Yourself life. In honor of Halloween coming up, she gifted me with these pretty nails. Here you'll see she drew ghost, pumpkins, bats, spider webs, a mummy and more. Super kawaii right?

I put them on and was totally in love. I use KISS Maximum Speed Nail glue, it's my favorite. Here's how the looked when I applied them. Hopefully this inspired you to do something fun too.

Do any of you have fun plans this Halloween?

Cheers!

Hey Nubians,

It's Mani Monday!

Last night after a bit of Spring Cleaning I decided to give myself a manicure and pedicure. My nails were fairly long but of course one of them just had to break so I cut them all... Don't you just hate that!? Anyway, I cut my nails really short and kind of improvised a few lines to make a fun little design. I decided to DIY my manicure instead of going to the salon. I actually do this pretty often to try to improve my skills. It also doesn't hurt to save a few bucks along the way/

For my base color I used Sally Hansen Velvet 640 Velour. It's a nice matte purple color. I proceeded but using LA. Colors Art Deco wands in white and silver glitter to make some lines off the top of my head and make the manicure more fun. I sealed the manicure with Sally Hansen's Gel Shine 3D Top Coat.

Ayer por la noche después de un poco de limpieza de primavera decidí darme un manicure y pedicure. Mis uñas eran bastante largas, pero por supuesto uno de ellas tenía que romperse y tuve que cortarlas todas... ¿No lo odias? De todos modos, corte mis uñas muy cortas y de improvisaron unas líneas para hacer un divertido diseño de pequeño.

Para mi color base usé Sally Hansen Velvet 640 velour. Es un bonito color morado mate. Procedí usando LA. Colores Art Decó varitas en brillo blanco y plata para hacer algunas líneas de la parte superior de la cabeza y hacer el manicure más divertido. Sellé la manicura con Gel brillo 3D Top Coat de Sally Hansen.
