The Beauty of 3D Nail Art
I visit different nail salons here in my place to see which has the best service. I am quite meticulous in regards to how they deliver and most especially the quality of the service. Because I consider myself as a very fashionable person and I would like to keep up with the trend, I can say that keeping a lifestyle like this needs careful investigation. Although I am not that fussy about perfect detail, I just like to make sure that I feel and look good.
Nowadays, I am fond of Vancouver 3D nails. I like how it looks because they are pretty and they give much personality. It's like they have their own statement of who I am so they need to keep up with my expectations.
These designs are like a window to my being. I like to dress up differently almost everyday according to the needs of parties or events, latest fashion trends and mood. These designs enable me to emphasize what look I am trying to portray. Like when I am in the mood to wear gothic clothes then a design with skulls or black flame would be appropriate. The same goes when a get-together needs me to wear a particular costume or get-up then I have to match the needs of that outfit with my nails. So, I visit different Vancouver nail salon in search for the best designs that show my personality.
Compared to color nail polish and regular Vancouver manicure and pedicure, the creativity of this art is just special. There is limitation to the conventional nail polish. Although it can be mixed with other colors making artistic drawings or art designs on the nail, Vancouver 3D nails emphasize the beauty of fine art and serve as an extension of my imagination. And being a 3-dimensional design, the materials used protrude from the nail; they pop out, unlike the usual color nail polish.
The things utilized in designing the nails are small 3D objects made from sculpture powder that has been molded to the desired figure. Also, some of the bits used are 3D stickers like the ones found in scrapbooks although these are customized to fit the nail. Small gems and crystals are also used to add that luxurious look. After being airbrushed with paint, the acrylic nail chips become the slate wherein these objects are attached then voila! A fashion statement has been made customized according to my imagination, of course.
I like having them and showing them off to my friends because they make me feel attractive, fashionable, and artistic. So whenever a party comes, after I have done my hair and make-up, I go down to the nearest nail salon to fix up. After getting a Vancouver manicure, I head to the artists that handle the designs and rig up my beautiful nails with fashion motivated art.

A LITTLE TEASE
This is shocking pink, black hole and shiney from artglitter.com. I added silver and black stars and hot pink moons. You can't go wrong with black and pink :)
The acrylic on this is from the dazzlers collection on artglitter.com. I just did a random swirly design with three colors and added 3d flowers on the top. I really enjoyed going crazy on these nails.

Toe Nail Art
Since fashion is a form of art, it does require imagination, creativity, and some art skills. Just like with the latest fashion statement of today - nail art. |
Nail art is now one of the most famous fashion styles nowadays because it is easy to carry, easy to do, and easy to remove in case fashion trends change.
If you are inspired to do even more artistic work, try random lines and create a somewhat abstract pattern. You can use a toothpick to create random lines upon application of a single coat. |

ManGlaze Week Day 3: Nail Art with Matte-Astrophe
Dnes pro vás mám nějaký ten nail art. Jako základ jsem použila China Glaze Joy a na něj jsem dala jednu vrstvu Color Club Wild and Willing. Tenhle lak je opravdu výjimečný, jen se podívejte na to, jaký dělá efekt. Dneska jsem ale řádila ještě víc a orazítkovala zase China Glaze Joy a destičkou M63. Nakonec jsem ještě přidala Matte-Astrophy, který tentokrát nepopraskal. Jak se vám to líbí? :)

Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees Suede
Het weekend is alweer bijna voorbij! Nog maar een paar uurtjes.. Hebben jullie nog leuke dingen gedaan? Ik was gisteren op een verjaardag en het 1jarige neefje van mijn vriend probeerde mijn nagellak er een kwartier lang af te krabben toen hij bij me op schoot zat hihi! Ik heb OPI You Don't Know Jacques Suede met een laagje Diamont op, en blijkbaar is dat eigenlijk een beetje te opvallend ;). Het was wel ontzettend lief!
The weekend is almost over! Just a couple of hours left.. What did you do? I was on a birthday yesterday and the one year old nephew of my boyfriend tried to scratch off my nailpolish with his teenie tiny nails for about 15 minutes when he sat on my lap lol! I'm wearing OPI You Don't Know Jacques Suede with a coat of Diamont and I think it was a little too obvious that I was wearing polish ;). It was very cute though!
OPI Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees Suede, twee laagjes in indirect zonlicht. Suzi is een prachtige donkergrijze of gungrey shimmer. Net als de overige suedes is de shimmer geweldig! De applicatie en droogtijd zijn zoals bij de andere lakken goed. Ik ben dol op gungreys en dit is geen uitzondering. Ze is geen dupe van Orly Iron Butterfly. Deze is donkerder en neigt meer naar zwart.
OPI Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees Suede, two coats in indirect sunlight. Suzi is a gorgeous dark or gungrey shimmer. Like the other suedes, the shimmer is incredible! Application and drying time are, just as with the other suede polishes, good. I love gungreys and this is no exeption. She is not a dupe of Iron Butterfly, which is a bit darker and leans more to black.
Suzi met een laagje Diamont, wederom in indirect zonlicht. Klik op de foto voor een vergroting. De shimmer is prachtig!
Suzi with one coat of Diamont, again in indirect sunlight. Click on the picture to enlarge. The shimmer in this polish is gorgeous!
This is it for today. I wish you all a wonderful working or studying week!
Thanks for stopping by!
